Sensible Red

But remember Musa, it’s not about skin colour!

Robert Jenrick: “In the hour and a half I was filming the news there, I didn’t see another white face and that’s not the kind of country I want to live in…”

Also Robert Jenrick: “It’s not about skin colour or faith…”

Good work @rickedwards1.bsky.social

For me, Liverpool weren’t THAT much better than Arsenal last season. It was Arsenal’s tendency to drop points against lesser teams that ultimately did for them. Another year on, the best defence & with proper strength in depth, I maintain it’s their title this year. Too much change at Liverpool.

Two-footed. Didn’t shit the bed. Didn’t put defenders under undue pressure. Played it long when required. Played it short when it was on. Simple. Composed. Solid start.

Goal music at Stamford Bridge 🚮

Yep. 2 in 2 now from within the width of the goal. Really impressed so far.

Sesko my MOTM. Turned many a long, hopeful ball into something. Chased and harried really well, brought others in to the game and basically conveyed a strength and a swagger that’s been missing up top. Got his goal too. Right place, right time. Good knack for a forward. Let’s hope it continues!

And breathe…

2-0 is the worst good score.

In a game where most players have been at a 7 or above, Dalot has once again stood out like a sore thumb. Rightly taken off.

Enjoyable stuff! Far from perfect but some really good stuff being played.

Lammens - solid.

Amad and Bryan direct.

Lovely taken goal from Mount.

Sesko’s hold up play decent and deserved his goal.

Bruno’s effort on to the bar would have been special.

All their threat down Dalot’s side.

Call me a pessimist but the way the United script goes is Lammens throws one in today 😂.

In all seriousness though, good luck to the lad and good to see Amorim’s supposedly seen what we’ve been seeing.

Come on reds! Put 5 past em today!

And he’ll be the first to come out and tell us ‘it’s not good enough’ or ‘the mood around the club is great’ or ‘the mood at the club was toxic’ seemingly blissfully unaware that he’s a part of it!

Just another example of terrible past management decisions that have hamstrung us so much of late.

I think this largely sums up where I’m currently at with it all. Ignoring the fact that it is still ridiculously early in the season - Top 6-tipped Villa & Newcastle currently below us in the table - I really feel we just have to give him the season. If the football isn’t better by May, then change.

Maybe.

If I was a footballer at the most successful club of the 90s and 00s, was adored by millions and was paid handsomely, I really can’t see my life after football being spent on podcasts talking about past glories and how rotten the club is now.
Surely the money on offer isn’t that essential?

I’ve not got it in me to argue with anyone that wants Ruben out now. It’s very hard to say with conviction they’re wrong.

For me? The idea of yet another change, depresses me. I don’t think there’s a man alive that could fix United in 12 months. The coach can’t always be the problem.

Rock bottom? No... why Man Utd got worse after 4-0 loss at Brentford A 4-0 defeat at Brentford in 2022 was seen as

Give it a rest, Simon. The world doesn’t need yet another 1000 words on how crap we’ve been.

Surely you’re better than Man United play Brentford this weekend. Brentford beat Man United 4-0 once. Man United bad.

It’s so unnecessary though as scoring virtually doesn’t matter. Just get it in the hole in fewer shots than your opponent. Both teams on a level playing field. Why make it so ‘meh’?

Older viewers will remember Take Your Pick on TV.
Part of the show featured the Yes/No interval. Contestants were asked questions for 60s and they had to answer without saying yes or no.
The career of Chris Mason is similar. He can't write an article without mentioning Farage or Reform.

I’m actually quite enjoying it. Was finding the churn of Sunday/Thursday Sunday/Thursday pretty unfulfilling. The fact we lost pretty much every league game we played near the back end of last season didn’t help, but yeah, feel kinda revitalised when THE game (singular) eventually rolls around now.

Refreshing.

I sat down the other day to watch Once Upon a Time in America, blissfully unaware at it former the 3rd part of a trilogy. I’m guessing I already know the answer but do I need to watch OUATITW first?

This kind of indulgence from Ferrari is exactly why many out there see Farage as ‘one of the good guys’. Surface level scrutiny, a quick, clipped social media post that they’ll see. He’s smiling, he’s charismatic, he’s this, he’s that…

Don’t be fooled. Look closer. Ask questions. Think carefully.

“When it comes to science, I wouldn’t side with anybody.” 😂

Who we talking about?

Sarah Ferguson rightly being axed due to the email scandal. It’s the wording that gets me though. Who calls someone a “supreme friend”? Just weird.

Apparently they were being given out at Lib Dem party conference as bit of a joke. To which Mason branded Davey and his party ‘obsessed’ with Farage. Glass houses and all that…

Chris ‘Yes Nigel, No Nigel, Three bags full Nigel’ Mason here really demonstrating that ‘appropriate level of scrutiny’.

No fan of them & this isn’t a defence of Arsenal, but the radio, tv and online chat this morning is virtually all focused on Arsenal needing to do more.
Pep & City, with arguably the world’s best keeper, a freak of a goalscorer, & the current Balon d’Or holder getting off lightly last season & this.
