Or will they sign up for a dose of what they've been hating/envying since 2010? One tip lads: If the new owners advertise jobs revamping the stadium maybe best not applying. #MCFC #nufc #lfc

Will all those Liverpool fans who moaned about the immorality of oil money, unequal competition sportswashing and human rights abuses now stick to their principles and take the short walk across StanleyPark? #MCFC #lfc #nufc

What "Richie" Sunak is really all about and which minority he belongs to aljazeera.com/opinions/2022/…
Spent an absorbing day making terrine de campagne using a combo of the old and the "newer" -inspiration & ingredients from Jane Grigson's reliable "Charcuterie and Pork Cookery" + sous vide techniques from ourdailybrine.com/pate-de-ca…

Righty-o, that's 3 #mcfc posts. Better write summat about food & drink. Just finished a splendid pig's head brawn sandwich with Dijon mustard on (tho' I say it as shouldn't) a rather superior white pan maison. Old Speckled Hen & an own-roast NIcaraguan flat white to help it down.

Big shout for the #MCFC youngsters who played so well tonight - Rico, Cole, Josh, well done. And to Sergio Gomez and Julian who both put in a real shift. And cheer up Jack the Lad. Play like that and the the goals & assists will surely come

If you are looking for a definition of 'hyperbole' then "ex-Man United ace Luke Chadwick" is about as good as it gets #MCFC #mufc caughtoffside.com/2022/10/03…

Shocking customer service from @ElectricIreland. No response to phone calls despite promise to get back; 30-50 mins delay on helpline; money taken out of our account while query in progress.

Very reluctant to publicise a restaurant that's already, after 2 visits, a favourite. But CN Duck is simply the best roast duck purveyor in town. Nice people too.

Two butchers closed recently in north Wicklow. Two farmers here, one in beef wants to get out and one tillage not sowing now because of fert cost. Giant rise in costs means less food will be produced and it’ll cost even more next year. Gov needs to seriously tool up for this now

I always try remain positive in what I do. However with the cost of living & cost of production rising daily, I am really afraid for all our future. Being self employed has never been so stressful & I've traded through recession & covid.I hope I'm not alone in my thoughts 💣 😔

Do the cretins, arseholes, juvenile delinquents, morons and retards who are calling for Pep to get sacked really exist? Or are they just figments of the Red Tops' lurid imagination? #MCFC

Trashing a young fan's phone after a hard-to-take defeat in the Manchester v Liverpool reserve derby, Ronaldo said "I'd like to invite him to watch a game at Old Trafford as a sign of fair-play and sportsmanship.” Haven't you punished him enough, Ronnie? #MCFC #LFC #EFC #MUFC
Lovely of the Irish Census to provide space for a message to be put in a Time Capsule and opened in 100 years. #MCFC #mufc

#MCFC in profit, with turnover +75 mill more than #mufc As 19th century American poet H.W.Longfellow or 3rd century Greek philosopher Sextus Empiricus (or both) memorably said "The wheels of God grind slowly; but they grind exceeding small." Be afraid, Rags. Be very afraid.
Wouldn't normally comment on DWTS but La Zampirelli forsaking the brunette with fringe vibe is for deffo a huge mistake. Seems to have diluted her sense of fun too. #toomanypseudoblondes
