@Awaydays23 In the United States, we can actually sit next to fans of the opposing team in our stadiums without wanting to beat the shit of them.

@MartienBall That Yellow Card Against Yoro... Made it clear that Tha Ref has an agenda

@Footballfights I’m kicking the nearest ankle as hard as I can.

@SullyTalkz @AdamJoseph @FA_PGMOL The reason it’s not a penalty is because we’d already had one and the ref didn’t want the hassle from the media.
English

Look at Amad's left leg twist when he falls. It's in the same movement as when Truffert blatantly pushes him. Stuart Atwell deemed it not 'sufficient' enough for a penalty. The constant inconsistencies in officiating is a joke. @FA_PGMOL Any answers?

@kedamawisb @ManUtd I bet he has nits and serves Rustlers burgers up for Christmas dinner, the steaming great arsehole.

@GeorgeCochrane1 Glorious. This was the car that prompted JK Rowling to write Harry Potter as a childs wizard story instead of a serial killer book for Hungarians.

@MartinSLewis @itvMLshow I'm on Octopus Tracker, should I be jumping ship?

Got questions on the Middle East conflict impact on bills and what you can do about it, including energy, heating oil, petrol, mortgages and more? That's our focus on tomorrow's @itvMLshow, pls suggest questions by reply...

@JonathanWiltsh7 @WhiteHouse You may want to keep your mouth closed when it comes to Iran. As an Iranian who escaped from the demonic Islamic regime, I, on behalf of literally every Iranian I know, say:
#ThankYouTrump

@SartorialThug @CharlieM_OBE Its a testament to the embroidery skills of the seven year old bangladeshis school alumnus that stitched those buttons on.

@CharlieM_OBE One false move and those buttons become a dangerous weapon. Incredible

@AdamJoseph <rashford-luton.gif>
All he needed to do was run more. He got the big money contract and then phoned it in. Theres a reason why his value is £26m.
English

£26.9m is a bargain for Marcus Rashford, Barcelona have got a great deal. Manchester United had zero leverage & did well to get a deal like that.
This is the right deal for club & player. He's got a fresh start & has taken the chance with both hands. 10 goals & 13 assists is outstanding - no way to downplay it.
He was the face of a tough era for the club. Heaped with so much pressure & expectation as an Academy kid to produce & he did it time & again for years.
Five trophy wins, 138 goals & 79 assists, countless memories. I will never understand the hate or be part of it - I'll never turn on someone who gave all that.

Barcelona are making progress towards signing Marcus Rashford on a permanent deal from Manchester United in the summer. Full story from @polballus and @Ankaman616 ⬇️ nytimes.com/athletic/70761…

@MartinSLewis @KemiBadenoch Its a regressive tax that punishes those working their way up from poorer households. Unless the degree actively puts someone on a clear path to a high earning career I don't understand why anyone would go to university - which is a real shame.
English

The problem with @KemiBadenoch proposal to cut Plan 2 loans interest rates is it is too late for most. While I've long campaigned against above inflation interest rates on student loans, so much interest has already been added to people's accounts that cutting it now, while psychologically appealing, won't reduce by a penny the amount lower and middle earning graduates repay.
While it would be nice to do, assuming they're not planning to spend unlimited funds, or say reduce the actual debt owed, in my view a far better use of the same funds would be to massively increase the repayment threshold (the opposite of what @RachelReevesMP is doing with the disgraceful and damaging freezing of the threshold).
Plan 2 loans were always set up so that most would not repay in full over the 30 years before it wipes. For them it works like a hefty 9% additional tax above the repayment threshold (though psychologically it's a nightmare for many to see the interest grow and grow even if they won't pay it).
The only people who would financially benefit from lowering interest rates to inflation at this point, would be those who earn enough to clear what they owe in the 30 years before the debt wipes. Currently that's predicted to be only the highest earning (or lowest borrowing) 20% to 30% of graduates, but with lower interest maybe it'd be 30% or 40%.
For the rest, the bulk of lower and middle earning graduates, lowering interest rates won't help. They'll still repay the same for the next 30 years.
Yet if you used the same money to increase the threshold so repayments were say 9% of everything above £40,000 (and index link that) rather than the current £28,400. Graduates would have up to £1,000/yr more disposable income each year.
Plus this way many of those who didn't get a graduate premium (ie financially benefitted from their degrees) wouldnt be paying.

@meadey36 @RobHarris How does infantino profit from hospitals and medical centres? I’m amazed the Palestinians didn’t end up with eight 60,000 all seater stadiums all named after Trump.

@GeorgeCochrane1 If I was French I'd be making love on that bonnet every hour, on the hour. Sadly I'm not, so I'm not. Plus ça change 🇫🇷🥖🧅🚲

@Moorsey1892 @CrosenderWay To be fair theres a lot of competition in the area, but having that many kids on the doorstep should be got in somehow. The kids football finals are played at Curzon too. Its odd. I suppose the £17 to get in doesn't help.

@Crevice101 @CrosenderWay The complex was chocker before the game and yet.. everyone left and didn’t stay for the game.
Community engagement with the club must be low

15 minutes before kick off and under 50 home supporters. Curzon Ashton….the Man City of the national league for empty seats
