Re: Monday 8th April 2024
Certain people seem puzzled why the Rayner "story" isn't "getting more traction".
Isn't one important reason that not that many actually properly understand it??

Re: Saturday 6th & Sunday 7th April 2024
It is nice to have taken four points off Liverpool this season, given how crap United are.
If it turns out to mean them not getting number 20, even better.

So you haven't been on Twitter this morning and noted what is trending?
Have to be careful here, so will just note that a 61 year old man and his 57 year old wife have been arrested in connection with "historic sex offences".
No doubt people can join the dots from there if they wish.
