Not enough people are talking about how Wrexham actually has a legit shot in getting promoted to the EPL this season!
They are coming from 3 consecutive promotions ever since Ryan Reynolds took over.
If they get promoted to the EPL 🏴 they’d become the 1st team in history to get 4 consecutive promotions all the way to the Premier League.

@LukeJohnsonRCP Another limited chart. Where are all the countries that are similar to the UK? Instead we have a stupid debate about Japan!?!?!
English
Interesting table. Britain has more than twice as many public sector workers per capita as Japan. What do they all do? No wonder our taxes are so high, and our productivity so low.

Australia has 5x the number of public servants per capita than China 🙈

Who would be on your Mount Rushmore of British boxing post 2000?
For me it’s Anthony Joshua, Amir Khan, Ricky Hatton and Joe Calzaghe, with the first 3 being undebatable

@rohitdotmittal "I'd love to move to America", said almost no Brit or European ever.
You'd think it would be popular, but I literally never meet anyone who wants to. 🤷♂️

My friends visiting Europe for the first time (in spring/summer) are like "I want to live there, it's so amazing. Everything is cheaper than in the US, and so relaxing."
My friends who live in Europe are like "can't wait to get out of here if I can find a good job in the US. It's so depressing here."

Rudd Gullit on England’s “football’s coming home” song.
"The thing is that England sees it as a gimmick, but the rest of the world sees it as arrogance. That's the difference."
"England don’t own football. They invented it but a lot of countries made it better.”

The average UK couple now puts £2,400 of their summer holiday on a credit card.
At 24.9% APR, paid over 18 months, that's £496 in interest. So the holiday actually cost £2,896 — and most of them are still paying for it when next year's holiday gets booked.
This is what they mean when they say 'living beyond your means is normal now.'
English
I can’t understand this at all, I have never in my life gone on holiday that wasn’t fully paid off before I boarded the flight.

@JasonBourne1986 @BeanMallard We need accountability. We won't get it. Top has to go!

Empty promises. Empty words.
The same rubbish was uttered in 2023 and 2025 and nothing changed for the better. It’s got progressively worse.
King Power must go.

Following confirmation of Leicester City’s relegation to League One, Chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha has issued the following statement: To our fans, Relegation to League One is now confirmed. As Chairman, that responsibility sits with me. There are no excuses. We have experienced the highest highs and now the lowest lows, and the pain is shared by all of us. I am truly sorry for the disappointment we have caused. I understand the strength of feeling among our supporters, and we do not take your support for granted, especially at moments like this. Our focus now is on what comes next. We will take the necessary decisions to move the Club forward, working together to rebuild, improve, and restore the standards expected of Leicester City. Our objective is clear – to respond strongly and compete to move this Club forward again. We will face this head-on. We will keep going. Together. Top

Have not known a fanbase that has so much disdain towards their own players as Leicester fans.
Deservedly so. Players are stinking out the division.
The fans deserve more.

Do I live in a bubble ??
How is £35,000 in 2026 a GOOD salary?
Is this a mindset thing?
Are Brits living on happy shopper beans on toast, living in a single room? Or they must be living at home/ minimal bills.
Do they not want more for themselves ??
Ambition and the desire to want a decent life is at an all time low in the U.K. 😟

First Canada was headlined for being proven to be ranked as 51st if it were a state…and now the UK is proven to rank as 51st as well. After looking a little further, it turns out this is not rare. In fact, every single other country in the entire world would rank behind all 50 states other than tiny Luxembourg which essentially isn’t even a real country.
The USA is easily and undoubtedly the greatest nation in the world and it isn’t even close. It’s a juggernaut that cannot be stopped other than within.

@Jsatt08 @real_lord_miles So does the UK have nice food or not? The stars are for restaurants...the restaurants are located in the UK. Let me know your answer by eod.
English
@real_lord_miles Those Michelin stars in the the UK are for French cuisine…
The US requires innovation, seasoning and taste. Not the basics of Shepherd's pie or Coq au Vin or baked beans for breakfast.
Where in Michelin based?
English
Fools say the UK has terrible food.
The US has 235 Michelin stars
The UK has 220.
The US has 5 times the population of the UK
English
@Blipt_Mind @real_lord_miles I've been here as well. Outstanding food!
English
@real_lord_miles UK has great food. Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons in Oxford is the best meal I've ever had.
English
@real_lord_miles Any restaurant that’s been awarded Michelin stars for serving baked beans and blood sausage at breakfast can’t be taken seriously. I asked Grok to show me a typical English breakfast.

I get all the “we hate FIFA” and “we hate America” crap gets rolled into every discussion about the upcoming World Cup. But no one seems interested in the raw deal for New Jersey here. (I’m a New Yorker, so I naturally dislike Jersey.). People coming for the games in the Meadowlands will be staying in and spending money in NYC. They will not be doing anything in NJ other than taking whatever transport they can find to the game and back. That sucks for NJ. They will get nothing.
English
FIFA have responded to this - and strongly.
“We are quite surprised by the NJ Governor’s approach today on fan transportation. The original FIFA World Cup 2026 Host City Agreements signed in 2018 required free transportation for fans to all matches. Recognizing the financial strain this placed on the host cities, back in 2023 FIFA adjusted the Host Agreement requirements across all host cities as follows: All Match Ticket holders and accredited individuals shall be able to access transport (public or additionally planned transport) at cost to allow travel to Stadiums on match days.
“FIFA worked for years with host cities on transportation and mobility plans, including advocating for millions of dollars in federal funding to support host cities for transportation.
“FIFA World Cup will bring millions of fans to North America along with related economic impact. Many fans will travel to NYNJ to enjoy the eight matches scheduled. FIFA is not aware of any other major event previously held at NYNJ Stadium, including other major sports, global concert tours, etc., where organizers were required to pay for fan transportation.”
Governor Mikie Sherrill@GovSherrillNJ
We inherited an agreement where FIFA is providing $0 for transportation to the World Cup. And while NJ TRANSIT is stuck with a $48 million bill to safely get fans to and from games, FIFA is making $11 billion. I’m not going to stick New Jersey commuters with that tab for years to come. FIFA should pay for the rides. But if they don’t – I’m not going to let New Jersey get taken for one.

@DominicMcGregor This is based on income alone. Why can't we see where we rank after out goings? I'm pretty sure we'll be.....7th.
English
If the UK joined the US as the 51st state.
We would be the poorest state in the entire union.
Mississippi which is portrayed at swamp dwelling hillbillies in majority of international media is above us.
I don’t think people grasp how far we’ve fallen in real terms when it comes to GDP per capita.
We’ve seen no growth for almost an entire generations.
We’ve seen our productivity decrease and our tax increases.
The average person on the UK, on £50,000 is less well off than your average Mississippi swamp dweller.

@JagerMouse @AWarner_18 Its not just Rudkin. Top has been agreeing these decisions as well. Both are as guilty.
English
Jon Rudkin once thought £14m for Ademola Lookman was too much. He has since spent *£15.5m on Ayew, Golding, Édouard & Coulibaly, and over £20m on Oliver Skipp.
We've been relegated 2x & got a points deduction for major PSR failings.
He got a promotion, and the chairman laughed.
