Chris Mason is embarrassing. He’s such a nob www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Chris Mason: Why Andy Burnham's about-turn on Manchester City matters
The prime minister's comments on Man City were revealing on several levels - and leapt on by many in football, the BBC's political editor writes.

It’s that crushing sense of simply being let down. It’s just like the time we had to remove all our Rolf Harris artwork from our house. #CTID

I was in the pub last night with a few City fans. General consensus - a shrug of the shoulders, an “oh, well”, and then a loud laugh and “see you at York”

Those Oasis b*stards wanted to charge me £266 for the privilege of sitting in MY seat. Sod that! I’m hoping Johnny Marr may tour next year with his new album. I’d prefer a proper Blue to have my money.

I’m sure De Zerbi will be eyeing up the City fixture in January as an opportunity to turn things around.

The only solution to this outrageous position United find themselves in - and it definitely isn’t their fault - is to award Untied the 3-points from the Derby AND, if City win tomorrow night, United should be given their place in the next round.

This isn’t fair. It is all down to Haaland’s controversial goal being allowed on Sunday. If that was chalked off, as it should have been, United would have won tonight. It’s an outrage.

Maresca was City assistant manager in January 23. That’s why it’s a “We”

Oh well, 0-0 at half time with 12 against 10. I’ll take that. But this is for the taking. Got to keep an attacking mindset. Come on City 🩵 @mancity.com #MCFC

This will really p^ss me off if we end up being Enzo Fernandez in. Don’t want him anywhere near City. Nico has been let down by the club. A real talent in my eyes.

From initial idea to my book being published - 10-years! I’d spend an afternoon rewriting a single sentence. Then give up for weeks and months because it was too hard. The reality is none of it really mattered. Except to me.

Went to see Odyssey last night. More than a little disappointed. Homer’s last film had Spider Pig in it. Not even Bart, Lisa or Marge in this one. It was more like Lord of the Rings without the little fellas with big hairy feet. I can see why Elon Rusk is having such a tantrum. 4/10 from me 👎

They could force them to emit a load noise when recording/ taking a photo, just like the Japanese do with phones. Maybe something like a reversing vehicle… “These glasses are recording, nonce! These glasses are recording, nonce!”

Because he was guilty of something you state your club have never done. Is there a statue of limitation in terms of what counts and what doesn’t. Again, City haven’t been found guilty of anything.

A quick reminder that Fathers are not real. They were created by the global gift card industry, first introduced in the 1950s, as a ploy to part you from your hard earned cash. Don’t fall for it. Anyway, here’s a photo of a cool dude who is missed deeply everyday. Have a good one, ya’ll 🩵

There are a lot of people outraged by these platforms, and in most cases rightly so. And yet they still use them themselves. X, FaceBook, Instagram, WhatsApp - if you’re using them you’re feeding the beast. Educate others through your own behaviour. And yes, tighter controls are needed.
