Interesting take on Cheltenham in The Guardian comments.

This week's column: The Cheltenham Festival is approaching the brink. RTs appreciated. attheraces.com/blogs/kevin-bl…

@jonnybryan71 @Watch_LFC You okay John B?

@Watch_LFC Also the challenge on Gomez in the box not even checked by VAR. Same thing Van Dijk was sent off for at Newcastle.

To summarise: 1) Curtis Jones sent off for a harsh red card. Still image makes it look worse. 2) Minutes later Liverpool take the lead but it’s wrongly disallowed for offside. VAR quickly rules it out, doesn’t use lines to check. 3) Salah flagged for a foul on Bissouma for basically nothing. If the ref doesn’t blow Salah is in the box and could create a big goal scoring opportunity. 4) Spurs get a corner when the ball clearly comes off Kulusevski. 5) Jota booked because Udogie trips himself. He then (stupidly) makes a rash challenge which gets him a second yellow. 6) Before Jota’s second yellow Udogie asks the ref to give Jota a second yellow for a minor foul. He doesn’t get booked even though asking for a yellow is now a bookable offence. 7) Robertson and Peter Krawietz booked for complaining about a foul on Robertson. 8) Bissouma gets a yellow for putting a hand in Wataru’s face. A hand in the face should be a red card. 9) In general, Simon Hooper made a number of decisions which went against Liverpool’s flow in the game. Not being given advantage when we should have, pulling up players for fouls which were incredibly soft.

Give me your horses to lay at the Festival this year! #CheltenhamFestival

Intriguing idea that removing VAT exemptions from private schools would be “class war.” Not a term I think is necessarily helpful but since it’s been brought up, here’s an alternative take on class war in modern Britain.

@kevinblake2011 Celebration time!

JUSTICE! Sweet, sweet justice! 😅

This is honestly one of the best and clearest descriptions of what is happening in the economy today you will find, all delivered in under a minute.

23 years ago today. 📆 My Dad snuck his camcorder into the Nou Camp. He didn't film any of the game, but got it out for the last 5 minutes. This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen. We've never shared this footage, until now... #MUFC 👹

As it’s bank holiday Monday it’s worth saying that there is massive support for a 4 day week according to @YouGov. 72% of 25 to 49 year olds support it. 72%!

If I was a JC executive reading through the strength of feeling amongst long time Cheltenham Festival goers that they are well and truly being royally shafted, I'd be very concerned. It appears many will be voting with their feet and spending their cash elsewhere in 2023.

With the price increases announced for the @CheltenhamRaces festival 2023 i won't be going. Instead i will be attending @LeopardstownRC for the Dublin festival instead for 1/4 the cost and for the same entertainment value plus better tasting Guinness. What a pity @TheJockeyClub
