Incredibly Aussie post coming, but tried that new Solo Energy drink and I can see why itโ€™s consistently on special offer in Woolies โ€” fucking rancid

Would love to know what Grace Clinton has to do to get a start over a half fit Georgia Stanwayโ€ฆ

Genuinely despicable how Arsenal have handled the Thomas Partey situation. They actively praised him and looked past it โ€” for years. Really hope his victims can find at least some peace in charges being brought against him. Disgusting.

Sacking Amorim obviously isnโ€™t the option considering the circus he decided to take on mid-season & heโ€™s right to not compromise his style, but he got this one massively wrong. Unsure on the XI & subs were appalling. Giving Mainoo a few minutes!? Unacceptable.

Huge summer needed for him & the club.

Every player (barring maybe Yoro, Zirkzee, Kobbie?) should hang their heads in shame. Spurs were below par and United were somehow worse. That cannot happen. Losing four times to Spurs in a season cannot happen. Iโ€™m not even sure the players bottled it; theyโ€™re just genuinely that bad!

Tried to sleep it off, but my head is still on Mars โ€” that #MUFC performance was abhorrent. Spineless is an understatement. They never looked like they wanted to win or even knew how to. Amorimโ€™s subs were baffling. This squad must be gutted this summer; a deserved 16th in the PL & deserved losers.

Manuel Ugarte by far the most creative player in that first half in Bilbao, for both teamsโ€ฆ

If only Brisbane Roar could attract such a crowd at the Suncorpโ€ฆ womenโ€™s state of origin tonight!

That CM Punk/This Fire Burns promo had me all giddy like a child again jumping up and down in my living room, absolutely stunning work

WrestleMania Night Yawn

Fantastic main event and Tiffy vs Charlotte aside, WrestleMania night one was just an episode of RAW with extra MAGA in between

Manchester United have been *so* poor this season & they were far from perfect tonight, but sometimes winning ugly is what you need.

Amorim needed a win like that, the squad needed a win like that. Perfectly imperfect. Makes me miss OT so, so much.

Buzzing for Ruben - letโ€™s win this bloody trophy!

Genuinely gutted about Zirkzeeโ€™s injury. Couldnโ€™t have come at a worse time for the kid. Just as he was beginning to find his stride. End this season ASAP.

Very grateful for British daylight savings making football a *tiny* bit easier to watch here in Queensland

Manchester United are the only club in the world who could ship out a player with an obligation to buy and end up with them back in the squad a year later. Absolute circus.

Elisabeth Terland looks even better scoring proper strikerโ€™s goals with that cast on her wrist, incredible aesthetic

Perhaps the greatest image in Manchester Unitedโ€™s history. Fantastic. No notes.

Adolescence, wow. What a fantastically written and produced show. Harrowing but so, so important. Episode 3 in particular. Perfectly captures how femicide, misogyny and incels have become so normalised in todayโ€™s world. Writing, actors, moments big and small โ€” amazing. No notes. Must-watch.

Only Manchester United could spend outrageous amounts of money on assembling a midfield which is incapable of taking the ball off the defence, baffling

Oh for sure, I definitely appreciate an owner that isnโ€™t hiding after years of Glazer rule. However, it doesnโ€™t have to be Ratcliffe running his mouth like a man gone mad; INEOS should probably let someone else do the speaking for Ratcliffeโ€™s own sake, before he talks himself into a bigger hole!

11.03.2025 00:29 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

If Jim Ratcliffe could simply stop opening his mouth, thatโ€™d be great

Yep, not got used to them at all yet! Hoping once Iโ€™ve got a bit of routine in my life I can figure out a way to make them more bearable.

This is still the worst #MUFC side since the 70s by some distance and plenty of players need replacing.

However, Bruno, De Ligt, Garnacho and Mazraoui were brill, while Heaven looked promising. Theyโ€™re minuscule, but there are positive signs for Ruben Amorim to build on.

So hard keeping up with European football over in Aus, but having caught up on United/Arsenal, really pleased with the signs from that performance.

We always turn up in โ€˜biggerโ€™ games, but individual performances in particular felt like a big positive.
