I'm old enough to remember the 1989 helicopter crash with Trumps casino execs aboard headed out to testify in a case related to Trump.
Trump backed out of the flight at the last minute stating that "he was too busy" to leave at the time.
Witnesses said "Trump was lying, he was not busy." The pilot, co-pilot and 3 execs died that day.

Just a very roundabout way of saying that the league is more competitive this year.
So roundabout that I lost people somewhere along the way.

Stephen. If you look back to the 60's, 70s and 80s, the Champions regularly lost 8 games or so.
The complete domination of points by the top teams in the last 10-15 years is an outlier.
Equally, the bottom 3 teams have posted unusually low points totals in recent years.

Only 10 miles from Ashton under Lyne to Old Trafford.
Maybe Chris Kavanagh left his glasses on the bus along with his United scarf and bobble hat.

Farage has been flying around the world trying to raise cash from foreign donors - a fact that deserves a front page a million times more than this autocratic racism

Only 25% of the white electorate in Gorton & Denton voted Reform. Farage may as well complain that the election was β€˜stolen’ by white Britons who didn’t vote at all, or who voted against bigotry.

Sadly lots of racists in Yorkshire. Look at their cricket club. They vote for Brexit. They vote for Reform.
No wonder we all sing
"We all hate Leeds and Leeds and Leeds".
We show the way at Everton.

Just a comment here about "rushing for the train".
All trains from Waterloo to either Liverpool or Southport run every 15 minutes right through the day.

Some residents threatened with eviction told us that electrical safety certificates on many of their flats were issued without an electrician actually gaining access to the properties in question.

Every single electrical safety certificate we saw also had identical results, despite being supposedly conducted across flats in multiple buildings that are miles apart. The electrician whose name was on the paperwork, with a signature dated only a few months ago, could not be traced. The business that the certificates stated the electrician worked for had been liquidated three years ago. When I visited the electrician’s stated headquarters on a busy road in Greenwich, I found an abandoned unit. The current leaseholder told me simply: β€œThere is no electrician in the building. The shop is empty.”

"I’d promised the tenants that we would not let up on this story, especially when many of them got in touch to ask us, in the absence of any clear communication from their landlord, whether they still had a place to live."

Why play one player out of position when you can play three.
Garner, Branthwaite and Armstrong.
Moyes, he is a twat, but he is our twat.
And he will be here all next season as well.

Please meet Tim Nott, the chair of the Reform UK Party in Bath.

When Gordon Brown makes any intervention into public life, it’s always about doing the right thing or standing up for the vulnerable. Compare that to the motivations of any other recent former PM.
