This sort of thing does my head in. @AndyBurnhamGM is always running in and around the area. It wasn't for show or a photo opportunity. Try focusing on the things that matter!
This is hilarious. The Daily Mail has revealed that Andy Burnham was jogging at 12.18pm, then he returned home 45 minutes in his VW Golf. His jog was just a photo op. Why pretend to jog? It just makes him look fake and untrustworthy. Something the public hate about politics.

What an absolute pillock. They haven't got relegated because of the stadium. So disrespectful to both the Olympics and athletics. There is more to sports than football.
Karren Brady’s promise of “a world-class team in a world-class stadium” rings even more hollow now. West Ham United should never have moved to a soulless public athletics track. Great move for the board but not for the fans. Leaving Upton Park made sense for commercial reasons but not sporting/atmosphere. Daniel Levy was right. The Olympic Stadium should have been knocked down and a proper football stadium built there. It is a good site. But the Olympic lobby and politicians got all protective and precious about the 2012 legacy. How often does this country need a huge athletics arena anyway? Yes, West Ham won a European trophy since they’ve left Upton Park. But London Stadium was always a problem, always a passion-killer, fans distant from the ones they love, the players, and limited potential for increased revenue streams. Other reasons behind club’s demise. Lack of leadership in the boardroom. Recruitment an issue, too. What a mess. Record losses, fears over future of Fernandes, Summerville and Nuno, intensified protests against chairman Sullivan.   Relegation likely. Two points adrift of safety following 3-1 defeat to Newcastle. Wretched goal difference (-22) compared to Spurs’ (-9). Spurs need only a point from Chelsea away (hard) or David Moyes’ Everton at home to guarantee survival and condemn West Ham. Can Moyes do West Ham a favour? The club who let him go. West Ham need to beat ex-Spur Joe Rodon and Leeds at home anyway. West Ham look doomed to the drop. They will return but need better ownership. And many of their fans have been warning of this perfect storm for some time. #WHUFC

They are not just 97 people. They are not just the 97. They are mates, dads and lads, couples, parents, sons and daughters. They are people, loved and cherished. Every one of the 97 people who died at Hillsborough has a story. Never Forgotten.

Whoever finishes in the CL positions deserves it. That's how a league season works.
Just watching MOTD. The fact that one of Liverpool or Chelsea is (most likely) going to get Champions League is mad to me. Neither deserve that. Brentford or Everton would be delighted with EL/ECL but, whisper it quietly, they should aim higher.

He's played 43 PL minutes.
You won’t win anything with kids? Try telling Max Dowman. Such confidence, composure, touch and vision. Such balance. Such a talent. Just turned 16, creates Arsenal’s first, then scores unforgettable second gliding from his own half. Doing his GCSEs, passing his PL tests. #ARSEVE

Tell me you haven't watched Milos Kerkez, without telling me you haven't watched Milos Kerkez. I love Robbo, but there is no way he should start over Kerkez in any major game.
"Deep down he'll be absolutely fuming" 😠 Danny Murphy feels Andy Robertson has been "discarded" by Liverpool. Alan Shearer doesn't think Milos Kerkez has been good enough to get so many more minutes than his fellow left-back. What are your thoughts? 🤔

Worrying times. I won’t be travelling to Turkey for Ukraine v England now given the unpredictability of airspaces & growing security concerns. The FA remain in regular contact with the government’s FCDO advice, as always. Any fans travelling, please check: gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice…

Someone shut Steve Cram up. They're trying their best and so are Canada. He literally ruins it.

Doing @LiverpoolFCW commentary prep for the first time since Matt Beard took his own life in Sept. It’s tough reading all the gushing quotes about why players signed for Matt and #lfcw - so can only imagine how hard this season has been for those players 😢

Could Steve Cram get any more negative? He must drive those commentating with him crazy.
