Amazed at the ยฃ's spent at Forrest and so little quality etc. As is often, the owners are the problem.... but then again if you ask Everton supporters about Dyche the comments would be quite colourful!

Pre Chelski v #lufc Tim Sherwood was telling us Leeds would lose by at least 4. It was a forgone conclusion. The goalkeeper would have net rash because of so many goals. Hence why is no longer a Manager or Coach anywhere.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... If this is what Ratcliffe thinks, then I expect Man United to return all the foreign players to their countries or elsewhere. He can arrange that from his home in Monaco.

Tell you what โ€œSir Jimโ€, when you stop being a resident of Monaco for tax purposes and actually contribute to the U.Kโ€™s schools, hospitals, and defence we will start listening to you.

Oh, and stop spouting utter rubbish on migration.

Don Beyer Will Vote NO On Republicans' Voter Suppression Bill
YouTube video by Congressman Don Beyer Don Beyer Will Vote NO On Republicans' Voter Suppression Bill

Republicans' so-called "SAVE America Act" would require every American citizen show a 1) Passport or 2) Government ID AND a birth certificate to vote.

Millions of Americans don't have a passport or ready access to their birth certificate.

This is a voter suppression bill. Plain and simple.

I apologize. I stopped watching the Chelski v #lufc when the penalty was given. Checked the score later and it was 2-2! Saw the last 10 mins! Outstanding result! 4 out of possible 5 against Chelski.

So glad to see George Cottrell being named in parliament yesterday. He was Farageโ€™s head of fundraising when he convicted of an offence related to money laundering & is still close to & funding Farage. Crypto is an urgent democratic threat to the UK
