I today found out (from a reputable @ManUtd source) that Jonathan Zirksee is on £1000 a week. Game’s gone if true.
This serious?
I know people are worried about fuel prices. And I get it. You get to the pump, watch the numbers climb, and wonder why it's costing so much more than it used to.
The reality is that global events are pushing up costs, and families here at home are feeling the impact.
But I won't accept that there's nothing I can do to help.
That's why from today, you'll be able to see petrol and diesel prices on Google Maps, compare nearby stations and find the cheapest option before you fill up.
It's a small change, but if there's a practical way to help people keep more money in their pocket, I'll do it.

The oil price today is £96 a barrel as petrol approaches £2 per litre. In June 2008, it hit £109 a barrel yet petrol was £1.19 per litre 🤔
A 13-yr old footballer suffered a dislocated knee cap yesterday, and was told to wait 8 hrs for an ambulance. But it’s ok, Dame Caroline is going to ensure we win the next Eurovision Song Contest.
What a lovely man.

Dont have much Sympathy for pensioners to be honest. They had it so good, and their generation let Labour in, or voted Conservative, and let everything go to shit.

Why on earth has a 16-year-old schoolboy received only 4.5 years jail for stabbing with an 8inch blade his history teacher on the head in a preplanned attack.
That attack in the classroom in February has meant teacher Vicky Williams doesn’t know if she will ever return to the profession.
And who could blame her.
Unbelievably the dim jury at Swansea Crown court cleared the boy of attempted murder but convicted him of wounding.
He had secreted the kitchen knife in his bag and had pretended he needed to see Ms Williams about his work when he suddenly struck.
He has never explained to anybody why he did it.
A number of points. He’s not entitled to anonymity. The law needs changing for serious charges.
He should have been convicted of attempted murder. Only luck saved Ms Williams.
His refusal to say why he acted should have been enough to throw the book at him. A mistake by the judge.

If your kids leave the house dressed like this, and acting like this, you’ve failed as a parent.
I doubt you care, but don’t come moaning about ‘foreigners’ and ‘stopping the boats’ when your offspring are fucking scum.

Meanwhile, we are being overwhelmed by fighting-age men from foreign shores, breaking into our country... and then being given free food and board for their efforts.
Putin is threatening us for assisting Ukraine, whose military regularly encroaches on our waters and in our airspace.
Local councils are near bankruptcy, people are being left on trolleys in hospital corridors, feral teenagers are killing cops... but you think builders are a priority?
Does @andyburnham realise he is the Prime Minister?
Post of the year, hands down.
THIS 💯💯💯!! #A66 #Middlesbrough #MiddlesbroughCrash
"You would think that after your various children had ended a night of being on a crime spree while riding in a stolen car and terrorising the local community, and ended that criminal rampage by driving that stolen 1.5-ton car at high speed the wrong way on a dual carriageway - which ended with the obliteration of another car with two police officers inside who were travelling in the correct direction.
An obliteration that killed everyone in both cars - As one of those parents you would think that you would feel a little guilt, a little responsibility, a little sadness!
Not only for your own child but for the children who were now fatherless directly because of your childs criminal stupidity.
You would think you would feel a world of regrets and a lot of "if onlys" and "what ifs." You would think you would be forced to take a good hard long look at yourselves and ask the questions of what you could have done better as a parent ! To own up to your own failings.
But oh no, not some of the parents and relatives of these young men. They are looking to cash in and blame everyone else but their feral wannabe gangsta, idiot children, who they couldn't be arsed to parent or discipline or teach the basic rights and wrongs of normal behaviour.
For them to say that the police should have called off the chase earlier in an attempt to detain their idiotic sons - who had been involved in several criminal incidents leading up to the police finally identifying the car that they were all packed into, and who then decided to goad the police into a high-speed pursuit?
The young men in that car had previously taunted police into chasing them in various vehicles a number of times before, knowing that if they drove at high speed in built-up areas or the wrong way on busy lanes, the police would end the pursuit. Which they would then film, gloating about it all on social media platforms while wearing balaclavas, making gun signs and torching the car.
Yet these so-called parents are pointing their fingers at the police, and I am sure they are already looking for a settlement while phoning the first "where there's a blame, there's a claim" advert they could find on the internet.
They were utter shit parents, and they are now proving they are utter shit human beings as well. They deserve every bit of ridicule and condemnation that they are receiving. They can't even do the right thing by their children in death. That's how utterly fucking useless they are. "
Now’s the time for every footballing nation to end Infantino’s tenure. The man is an embarrassment to the game.
If disposable bbq’s can be banned with immediate effect, why can’t fucking e-scooters be treated the same way?
Pleased, happy and relieved for Sgt Martyn Blake. Shocking for a man who’s paid to protect the public to have to undergo 4 years of scrutiny.
