🇾🇪 A Tribute to Stuart 'Pancho' Pearson, The Man Who Helped United Rise Again 🧵
"Jesus saves, but Pearson nets the rebound!" Forty odd years on and it's still one of the best banners made about a footballer.
The year was 1974. Manchester United had just been relegated. The club that had conquered Europe six years earlier was playing Second Division football, and they needed someone to lead them back.
They found their man in a telephone engineer from Hull.
🔴 A proper working lad
Before he ever kicked a ball as a professional, Stuart Pearson was training as a telephone engineer back home in Hull. Hardly the background you'd expect for one of United's most beloved strikers. That working-class graft never left him, and it showed in the way he played.
⚪️ How "Pancho" got his name (And it's not what most fans think)
Here's one that surprises a lot of people. The nickname actually originated with another United player, Mark Pearson, who had long sideburns, "Pancho" being a shortened version of Francisco, a name that gained worldwide recognition from the Mexican revolution era.
When Tommy Docherty went to Hull City as assistant manager, there were already two Pearsons at the club who were called Pancho, so Tommy started calling Stuart the same thing. As Pancho himself put it: "I didn't have a moustache or grow long sideburns. So, no, that is all it was. All of my team-mates called me it, but I've been called worse from the opposition players!"

🚨🇺🇸 Someone stole 12 tonnes of KitKats.
Nestlé issued an official statement clarifying this is not a stunt or an April Fool's joke.
They now built a Stolen KitKat Tracker.
The world is at war. The global economy is breaking. And somewhere out there is a person sitting next to 12 tonnes of KitKats trying to explain themselves.
Have a break indeed.

🚨 Someone stole 413,793 KitKat bars from a truck in Europe last week. The whole shipment. Gone. Domino's response: "our thoughts and condolences to KitKat... on a completely unrelated note, we're pleased to announce our new KitKat pizza." Would anyone order a KitKat pizza? 😂 @Dominos_UK

🚨 NOBODY KNOWS HOW FUCKED NATO ACTUALLY IS RIGHT NOW.
In the last 72 hours, watch who walked away:
🇫🇷 France: Blocked US military overflight for weapons to Israel — FIRST TIME since war began Feb 28. Israel cut ALL defense procurement from France.
🇮🇹 Italy: Denied Sigonella air base landing to US bombers. Defense Minister said relations are "solid and loyal." DAYS after blocking US planes.
🇪🇸 Spain: Closed ENTIRE airspace to US operations. Blocked Naval Station Rota AND Morón Air Base. PM Sánchez called it "not NATO collective defense."
🇵🇱 Poland: Refused to redeploy Patriot batteries. US burned through 1,200+ interceptors in 16 days. Poland said no.
🇨🇭 Switzerland: Denied 2 US reconnaissance flights. Suspended $120,000,000 in weapons exports under "neutrality laws."
🇬🇧 UK: PM said "this is not our war." Trump told them to "build up some delayed courage."
🇩🇪 Germany: President Steinmeier called war "possibly illegal." WHILE hosting Ramstein — largest US base outside America.
That is: France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Switzerland, UK, and Germany.
All in ONE week.
When this many allies abandon you at once, it's not a disagreement.
It's a collapse.

Over the weekend, Nestlé confirmed that thieves had swiped 413,793 units of KitKats. What the company lost in chocolate, though, it gained back in a public-relations coup—as did multiple other companies quick to hop on the meme bandwagon. 🔗 on.wsj.com/3PW0w4J

@MaryRoseMuseum Can't put my finger on it but I've got a sneaky feeling Billy Monger might have had something to do with it

BREAKING: Donald Trump just posted the most revealing statement of the war. Not because of what it says about Iran. Because of what it says about the country that started it.
“All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT.”
Read the architecture of that sentence. The United States launched strikes that killed Khamenei and closed a strait that was open on February 27. The closure created a jet fuel crisis across Europe. And now the President is telling the countries suffering from the crisis his war created to either buy American fuel or send their own navies to reopen the waterway his campaign shut down. He started the fire. He is now selling the water. And he is mocking the neighbours for not helping him light the match.
“Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil!”
The hard part is done. But the strait is still closed. The IRGC still operates the toll booth. Nine vessels transit per day versus 138. A Kuwaiti supertanker burned off Dubai this morning. Ghalibaf, Iran’s parliament speaker, said it best from the other side: “The enemy that claimed it had destroyed our air force, navy and missile forces has now set its operational ambition to opening the Strait of Hormuz, a strait that was open before the Ramadan War began.” Trump and Ghalibaf are describing the same paradox from opposite ends of the same burning strait.
And now look at what “buy from the U.S., we have plenty” actually means. In January, the United States overthrew Maduro and seized operational control of Venezuelan oil exports. Nine hundred thousand barrels per day, redirected from China to American and European refiners under General License 52, with proceeds flowing to a US Treasury account. The US created alternative supply BEFORE launching the strikes that destroyed the existing supply route. It is now offering to sell that alternative supply to the allies whose energy it disrupted. The arsonist is the fire department. The toll booth operator is the rescue service.
The United Kingdom is in COBRA meetings today because of this. Petrol has risen to 152 pence per litre. Diesel is at 181 pence. Jet fuel prices have doubled. Household energy bills are forecast to rise £300 by July. The OECD has downgraded UK growth to 0.7 percent, the largest cut among G20 economies. Ten-year gilt yields have hit levels not seen since 2008. The Bank of England is frozen at 3.75 percent, unable to cut into an energy-driven inflation rebound. Starmer says he “won’t buckle” and will not send warships. Trump says the UK has “delayed courage.” The special relationship is now a transaction where one side sets the terms and the other absorbs the cost.
“The U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us.”
This is not a statement about Iran. This is a statement about the post-war order. The United States is explicitly telling its closest ally that the era of guaranteed security is over, that Hormuz is someone else’s problem, and that American fuel is available for purchase at market rates. The country that spent 80 years guaranteeing freedom of navigation through the world’s most important chokepoint is now telling its allies to buy their way out of the crisis or fight their own way through it.
The strait was open before the war. It is closed now. And the country that closed it is selling jet fuel to the countries that cannot get any.
That is the 2026 world order in one Truth Social post.
