Shocking decision from McAtee. Simple pass for a tap in.

The problem with Republicans trying to use this argument is that they have spent years arguing "Don't tread on me". They’ve long supported the right to bear arms, protected states right and rejected federal overreach. They’ve previously praised people for turning up to protests not just with weapons on their person but very much on show. Suddenly they’ve abandoned all these principles. I’m guessing the same people saying Pretti should have stayed at home might not have supported the Capitol police if they had chosen to mow down all the protestors who arrived at congress with weapons on January 6th and actually were intent on violence. The hypocrisy would be laughable if it wasn’t so disgusting.

This is one of those rare occasions where politics just shouldn’t matter at all. Every single Brit should be disgusted by Trump’s comments and condemn him for what he has said. No ifs and no buts.

Wigan are 12/5 to win on Saturday. Like printing money.

I’d totally forgotten that Jim Ratcliffe spent millions getting Dan Ashworth to United from Newcastle to oversee football decisions but sacked him almost immediately when he said that bringing in Amorim would be a bad idea.

Fair fucking play to that guy. Almost certainly saved more lives with his actions

No way VAR should be getting involved with that. May or may not have been a penalty but certainly not an obvious error

Not sure we’ve won a single 50-50. Embarrassing excuses for tackles all over the pitch.

I’d hate to see our record against relegation zone teams over the last couple of seasons. Embarrassing

My Nana lived in upstate New York. She was 98 when she passed away. She had good friends who were white, black, Asian, Chinese, Armenian, Italian. Her group of friends gave huge amounts of time volunteering as part of a community that looked after everybody. I remember how excited she was when the States had their first black president - someone who seemed to genuinely care about all people regardless of politics, race, religion etc. She died a few weeks after Obama was first voted in as President. She was so full of hope for the country. I thank God she didn’t have to witness this spiral the US has been on over recent years. Truly so sad.

Now confirmed that he has been killed. Would be ironic in the extreme if this happens to be the event which finally gets the States to address gun crime.

Well that was unexpected. And very good. The question now is whether he sticks with those players or bring back Saka, Bellingham, Palmer etc. when they’re fit. Personally I’d give another try to the team that’s produced our best performance in a long time.

Don’t know what to make of that? Was feeling really positive right until just after we scored the goal. Thought we played some decent stuff until then. But absolutely had to go on and win that match. Sadly McAtee’s cameo tonight just summed him up to a tee. Strolling round like he’s Messi and giving the ball away unnecessarily trying overly elaborate passes. He thinks he’s way way better than he is.

I feel for you. But although it’s a horrible thing to do, politely making the difficult call now will be the right thing to do in the long run. I help look after a year group of 90 boys at our club and we have 5 streamed teams. I’ve sometimes wondered if it’s the best thing to do, but at the moment I’m in the camp that says it’s good for kids to be playing with and against other kids of a similar ability. The problem is that many (most) parents don’t feel the same way. I’ve always tried to be honest with those conversations but they’re not easy. Good luck.

Sorry to hear this Little Whitt. Been through this with my mother in law, father in law and uncle over the past few years. It's possible to handle probate yourself but personally I don't think it's worth all the hassle. I'd let the professionals do this for you.
