Brings to mind this, sadly: "Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the bird is going to shit on the board and strut around like it won anyway." - Shannon L. Alder

Grimsby deepen ridicule for Ruben Amorim as he ploughs on with flawed, final stand | Jonathan Liew Carabao Cup humiliation is the latest setback for a coach who may actually be the last real thing at Manchester United

I love Jonathan Liew's piece in @theguardian.com today about the whole #ManUtd circus - it speaks to me and the man has a cracking turn of phrase. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Wow

Thanks!

Where was it? Waited and channel scanned for his post match but gave up in the end

That and hiding for penalties on his own, the absolute coward. He's lost it.

Well you got the 2 right...

No matter who we're playing we don't seem to have a clue how to get the ball up the pitch. Someone's gonna poach it off you in the end if you just pass it around aimlessly for long enough. The rest of it of course was the usual calamities and weaknesses but for ffs...

'When a man leads, a woman becomes more like him' - I'm detecting gay longings from that 'alpha male' right there!

I despaired when a Guardian article last week had a paragraph summarising what 'influencers' were saying on a scientific topic... I personally don't want to know what self-appointed experts think about something! Not judging, but I suddenly felt old reading the paper I've read all my life (I'm 55).

You already had coffee. How do you not remember getting coffee?

As a point of order, it is "expatriate" or "expat" for short, not "ex-patriate" or "ex-pat".

I'll get my coat.

Thank you. You've put into my words what I feel she was trying to to say. I do not believe she is trying to establish a hierarchy here. I also believe she/we are getting into semantics with the words racism and prejudice - surely we can all see both are unacceptable?

There you have it!

If she's defending that, then fair enough. Teasing ginger people and rhe Holocaust clearly don't belong together.

I wonder if she'd agree with that interpretation of her words? To me (admittedly without further context) she's saying it's a different type of discrimination, primarily visual. I don't read this as her saying all racism isn't bad, I'd assume/hope that she doesn't believe that!

Diane Abbott: “There must be a difference between racism which is about colour and other types of racism because you can see a Traveller or a Jewish person walking down the street, you don’t know.“

Don't understand why she's not allowed to say this?

WeTransfer are now stealing our words.

As a writer, this cannot be allowed to pass.

Good lad indeed

People think money has ruined football but the sight of a rapist dictator standing next to a corrupt football official in front of a big gold trophy at a competition bankrolled by Saudi Arabia reminds me the game still belongs to us.

on the listen list, thanks

Stunning photo though!

Pay for the Guardian even though I don't have to. There's a lesson there somewhere.

No shit #goodtoknow 🤣

Here's a Strava map you won't see every day, a 5k charity race on the Gibraltar runway yesterday - it was amazing fun #gibraltar #running

I’d love to talk, drop me an email at work and I’ll get back to you to arrange

Don’t patronise me please.
