This country is f@cked. A story in a national newspaper today on 5 migrants who have died crossing the channel. Here are the reactions...

Play poorly, win games, a great trick if you can master it. #mcfc

I deactivated my account and understood that after 30 days the account and all tweets would be deleted permanently? If that's true, why pay to delete? I'm genuinely curious if I've done the right thing!

Pretty sure Stones mouthed "it's fucked" to the physio when he came off :/

Like with any safety critical role, when the nerves stop, it's probably time to retire. More likely to make unsafe decisions under pressure!

This ref is absolutely the worst I've seen for ages. How is that not a red for the rake down Marmoush?

Gone a bit early with this.

Martin Keown, not capable of being neutral on comms, obviously foul on Nico for their goal and a nailed on penalty on Marmoush.

Keown "move on".

@microsoft.com

Hi, quick question, is there some extra service you will be providing to justify this huge (percentage wise) monthly increase?

Our new number 14...

9. Would have liked a RB but i guess once Dias is back, Akanji can fill in.

At the position they intersect, there can't be a huge margin or error. With the helos reportedly on NVGs too, no way the 33 traffic can get visual

I will say though, looking at the approach plates, i have no idea why there is a helicopter lane which cuts right through final approach to 33. Froiveat others have said, that rwy is used regularly now.

Some of the speculation today has been disgraceful. People who have absolutely no idea the amount of training and constant standardisation that Controllers go through to ensure they operate to the highest standards.

I reckon it'll probably be Douglas Luiz, he's more likely to accept playing second fiddle to Rodro when he returns
