Man Utd will finish 8th this season. Go out of Europe in the first KO stages. Fifth round of the fa cup, QF of the carabao cup. That’s my prediction.

A wrap up of some of the things that happened in boxing this week, plus a few bad dad jokes 😅
P.S my dog Flola decided it was time she got in on the records 👀
Kemi for PM. Britain’s first black female PM no less! 👊👊
Slavery was an evil in which people from every continent and region participated. We should be honest about the whole history, not select the parts that are politically convenient today, especially given Britain's leading role in ending the transatlantic slave trade.
If Caribbean countries are asking Britain for a formal apology for Britain’s role in the transatlantic slave trade, will they also be asking the same of the descendants of African kingdoms, rulers and merchants who captured, sold and profited from the trade?
On demands for reparations, whether through cash or debt relief, we have been down this track before. Twenty-five years ago, Jubilee 2000, Drop the Debt and Make Poverty History argued that cancelling the debts of poorer countries would give them a fresh start. More than $100 billion of debt was eventually written off, but many of those countries have since built up even bigger debts. Labour are already spending too much on Britain's welfare state, now is not the time for Andy Burnham to be providing global welfare.
There is no reason British taxpayers today should be held financially responsible for things that happened generations before any of us were born. And I have even less patience for political elites in commonwealth countries who don’t know how to make their own citizens prosperous now looking for another opportunity to blame Britain.
As Prime Minister, Andy Burnham should be Britain’s greatest defender. Instead, he is writing articles saying we need to confront our history (as if we haven't done enough of that) and considering another formal historical apology. Tony Blair already expressed Britain’s deep sorrow and regret for our role in the slave trade nearly twenty years ago. There is no need to do so again.
This is all another navel-gazing distraction. The Commonwealth should be looking forward, not endlessly backwards. That means economic partnerships to make us all richer and deeper military and security cooperation against common threats. If every Commonwealth summit becomes an exercise in presenting Britain with demands for cash then we need to start asking if it is worth the effort.

If you can have a podcast with millions of listens in which you’ve posted thousands and thousands of hours of you chatting
And someone has to go back to 2014 to find something bad you said
You’re probably a decent person, decent enough to turn some bloody lights on
Just watched the Fallon Sherrock win. How underwhelming was the reaction from the commentary team. Atrocious. You’d think it was a funeral. #beatlukelittler
Telling my kids this is #FuryJoshua
Unbelievable scenes in Hamburg, Germany. 😂
American heavyweight Rydell Booker (27-17-1) 🇺🇸 is doing antics the entire fight and looking away from his opponent to provoke him. In the final tenth round it goes wrong and Adrian Granat (17-2) 🇸🇪 knocks him out badly.

What I don’t understand is why the first three paragraphs of this tweet all say the same thing.
Katherine Ryan reveals husband Bobby Koostra struggled with male postpartum depression after birth of son Fred
Comedian Katherine Ryan has said her husband Bobby Koostra suffered from male postpartum depression after the birth of their son Fred.
She revealed the details on a podcast and said the couple did not understand what he was going through at the time.
Bobby was on edge, sleepless and struggled to articulate his feelings.
Katherine said he later reflected that he had a really terrible time.

Glazernomics
🚨🗣️ Carlos Tevez revealed why he left United and the BROKEN promises:
“For me it was HARD Rio. It was hard because I felt like I'd given my heart to United. And I didn't feel the same.
“They spoke to me before the two year loan. After, if you play well, we PAY the contract after one year.
“Fergie told me, ‘Carlos, now I'm going to pay out your contract and you're going to stay in Manchester’.
“The team went to a pre-season. I remember this conversation with Fergie. He said ‘I’m going to pay for Berbatov but you, don't worry, I'm going to buy you and we'll do your contract.
“For me, the people [United fans] understand. They don’t understand about Fergie speaking to me, or behind the scenes. What happened between Fergie and me, I think people don't understand that.
“I think that Ferguson had, from the day we talked, up to six months to keep his word. And he didn't. On the contrary, he started leaving me on the bench.
“In my head, he started pushing me aside so he could bring down what I was worth. And that's what hurt me the most.
“If you remember, we won the Champions League. We won the league and, and then, to bring down my price, they brought in a player and I carried on the same way for the first months.
“The second months, let's say, of the second year. But by the second, the second month, I didn't want to know any more.
“I had a great time at United. The other team, City, for me, was like a revenge. I didn't get back what I gave.” #MUFC [@RioMeets, @MailSport]
If I was DCL I’d say no,’unless they offered such a ridiculously high salary. Once they get Sesko back, he’ll bench warm. Career over. Stay put!

#MUFC exploring market for centre-forwards in January, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin under consideration.
Move considered remote given rivalry between teams.
