Terrible first half. Newport weren’t great. And if we played like we did second half we win. But even then second half wasn’t the best we can play. But we upped the intensity and pressure onto them and got the point

There’s so much media attention on carrick losing his job. And about United. When in fact since other clubs have caught up and been able to spend to attract the bigger names they have fallen. United spent so long being massive they forgot that before that they were like everyone
"A wound that will never heal”, Daily Telegraph, 2005. The wound won’t heal until the Glazers sell. Manchester United fans are right. The owners, especially the Glazers, are the real problem at the club and have been since 2005. #MUFC

Maybe right now United aren’t the pull for players. Who would want to go to the circus?
Sir Jim Ratcliffe will one day have to explain why Manchester United didn’t follow Michael Carrick’s recommendation of the four players he felt the club needed in the summer window – Elliot Anderson, Lewis Hall, Morgan Rogers and, fourth on the list, Mateus Fernandes. Were debt repayments restricting their buying power? Was it simply because United felt the fees were too much for them?
In the case of Fernandes, United certainly felt Spurs overpaid for the midfielder from relegated West Ham - £85m for a player West Ham bought from Southampton a year earlier for £38m. But everyone knew the market was inflated and those were the fees being demanded – and commanded – for such young talent, especially in a World Cup summer.
Anderson went for £114m, Rogers for £115m. Hall (overlooked for World Cup) could probably have been got for £60m+ before he committed to Newcastle United. Anderson would have transformed United's midfield - certainly more than the £150m spent on Andrey Santos, Carlos Baleba and Youri Tielemans. Hall was the obvious choice to fill the problem position of left-back with Luke Shaw injured and 31.
There used to be a time when Manchester United would go for “best in class” players, even if that meant chunky fees. Not now. That has to change. Mauricio Pochettino will certainly expect Ratcliffe and Jason Wilcox to think bigger in the transfer market - more befitting of a club United's size. Carrick, understanding the challenge United faced in the summer, wanted United to buy properly. They didn't.
An indication of the way ahead will be whether Mauricio Pochettino's title is head coach or manager (and driving recruitment like Arteta, Emery). #MUFC

We are heartbroken to share that our much-loved friend and colleague Danny Kelly has died, aged 69.
A cherished part of talkSPORT for so many years, Danny brought extraordinary wit, warmth and knowledge to our airwaves. His passion for football, music and life was infectious, and his kindness touched everyone around him.
“I love football, Stan. I love it.”
We loved you, Danny. We’ll miss you dearly.
Our thoughts are with Danny’s family, friends and everyone who loved listening to him.

They gave their lives for a world they would never see. Planted the seed for the tree whose shade they would never sit in. For me, you, our families, our friends, our children. For all of us.
The ultimate sacrifice, the bravest of heroes.
Today, we remember them. Tomorrow we will never forget them.
Lest we forget.❤️

Today in Arsenal vs Hull, VAR recommended the referee to check this shirt pull on Havertz for a penalty, a foul that happened to Isak last week and VAR chose to ignore. However, with this week and the foul being on Arsenal, VAR decided it was necessary to intervene...
VAR were so desperate to get Arsenal a penalty, they never even bothered to check if Havertz was onside, he wasn't and luckily the refree on the field noticed and didn't give the penalty...
How on earth is VAR getting involved to give offside players penalties 😭
Why do they repeat the same lies. What breathing space? And now it’s got worse with interest rates going upto to 4% under your watch. So now it’s going be even more expensive for mortgages and business etc. you aren’t helping one bit
Last week’s Budget gave British families and businesses much-needed breathing space for today.
But what does that actually look like for you?
