Proud of @ManUtd today - desire, quality and bravery against a brilliant Liverpool team.

Who would’ve thunk it…

@GuzKhanOfficial Thank you for everything you are and everything you do, Guz. You represent so many of us - don’t let anyone tell you you otherwise.

2025 will be peace or pressure for anyone who wants it. Love from the United Nations of Diversity 🤲🏾💙 We all came from the very bottom, and we ain’t going anywhere…

@PatLefevere Good luck big lad. Be nice!

At 45, I feel that New Year brings as much trepidation as it does hope. Not being gloomy, it’s just a life stage thing.

@nygaardbn I always got the sense he lived well.

Addio Gianni Savio. The soul of Italian cycling has lost its biggest smile.

Does anyone count the number of balls hoofed to no-one? It’s honestly like watching 11-year-olds… #ManUtd

@StanCollymore We haven’t tried buying good players yet 🙃

Manchester United supporters, I come in peace. At this point, what exactly ARE the solutions you'd like to see implemented? Because this isn't ending anytime soon and you've tried everything bar employ a shamen to de-spirit the ground. 👹

Sunday: - Lie in ✅ - Waitrose ✅ - Slow half marathon ✅ - Sausage & Pancetta Bucatini ✅ - Half (2/3) of a bottle of Barolo ✅ - Snooze on the sofa ✅ And that’s how it’s done kids.

@ajoneswilkins Nope. Misery for no tangible benefit. Unless 3,000 miles will genuinely make you happy.

I need to run 61 miles in the next 2 days to hit 3,000 for the year. Should I go for it?

@KatyKatt77 Serious question from the UK - do waiters/servers get a wage from the restaurant or is their pay only what they get in tips?

My son had a table last night who ran him absolutely ragged with a $200 check and left him… (wait for it)… a $4 GD tip! If y’all can’t afford to tip your servers like they deserve, you can’t afford to eat out! He’s a college kid, not your fucking servant!!!

@dc_lawrence Maybe some - any - public transport infrastructure in Leeds?

100%. The success of the Elizabeth Line should make us wonder: what other latent demand is lying hidden, just waiting for the right infrastructure to be built?

People forget Fergie brought in stonewall dead certs as well as developing talent and finding gems - Andy Cole, Van Persie, Berbatov, Sheringham, Cantona, Larsson, even Micheal Owen…

@TheShowtimeReds He BOUGHT the lousy bastards

this man really won 2 trophies in 2 seasons with these lousy bastards.

@LiamPaulCanning Worst thing is the players we let go to replace them with worse. Losing McTominey was so dumb.

The amount of money wasted by United under EtH is astronomical. Definitely set the club back many years. INEOS have to be absolutely ruthless and cut ties with a lot of the deadwood.

@scottdougal Dude you need to listen to the new The Cure album. Merry Christmas.

“… be those remembrances admitted with tender encouragement! “They are of the time and all its comforting and peaceful reassurances; and of the history that re-united even upon earth the living and the dead.” All the best, everyone.

@ammattipyoraily @OutOfCycling

📺 Mattias Norsgaard (🇩🇰) is preparing for 🇦🇺 summer. He is getting used to the hot conditions beforehand. Tour Down Under on 21/1-26/1.

@TimBonvilleGinn Did he ask for a bowl of M&Ms with all the brown ones taken out too?

@LiamPaulCanning We have to clear out players who don’t fit - even if it’s gonna be expensive.

It’s going to be painful for this season, but I’d much rather see Amorim stick to his plan and find out which players can’t fit his system, rather than revert to something different and show no long-term progress. It’s going to take clever recruitment over a season to make a big difference. Prioritise the Europa League this season. 9 points off top 4 isn’t insurmountable but so many teams in with a chance.

@marcshaw76 Yeah it was the right result but not sure by such a margin.

Enjoyed that. Felt about right. Some boxer Usyk.
