We're delighted to announce that Ryan Gravenberch has today signed a new long-term contract with the Reds 🙌

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

If United do the double on us I might stop watching footie

That's excellent from Mo

Waiting to concede to play. Nice one

Sigh.

Cannot think of a single interesting passage of play. 'Best league in the world!'.

State of the league this season. 20 Stoke Citys.

Trey! :(

Another bizarre performance this

Rio minutes please

Just don't trust these at all

Think I tweeted how he might as well not have been on the pitch last Sunday and he immediately scored (twice, kind of)

CORNERPOOL IS BACK

I actually like Wolves, despite what I said earlier

Pleased to avoid Atletico (for now), not pleased for us to travel to Istanbul again

Reassuring to see Trent's still half arsing his defending

Intriguing look to these ties at half time... 👀

Omg Bødo

Rio Ngumoha completed more dribbles (2) and created as many chances (1) as Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo combined vs Nottingham Forest. He came on in the 76th minute. (Who scored)

Horrible dirty scabby win against a horrible dirty club full of scabs. Poetic.

Hahahahahahahaha

Macca might as well not be on the pitch

As halves go this is well up there with the worst this season

What actually is the plan here?

I'm no expert but this press and our spacing looks all wrong, no one seems to know who their man is

Have we been on the lash all week? They can't fucking pass straight

Horrible start this
