I've said it many times before and I'll continue saying it - Ruben Neves would be the perfect signing for this United team. Literally perfect.
#MUFC
🚨🇵🇹 NEW:
Manchester United are on the verge of making a final push to sign Ruben Neves - Barcelona interested & Wolves would like a fee of £50 million.

Oisin Murphy got 14 months for 'breaking Covid rules' and 'two alcohol breaches'. Soumillon gets a slap on the wrist and special privileges for assaulting a fellow rider at racing speed which could very easily have caused serious injury - or worse. Joke decision.

Sadly, that was an entirely predictable performance from Broadway Boy in the Hampton.
He's only six and that was his 5th run in just over 100 days - two on soft ground at Cheltenham.
Why, especially giving weight to all rivals, was he running? Poor campaigning.

Sounds like Willie Mullins remains adamant to keep Facile Vega over two miles - why? He knows best, like, but I'd say he's crying for a step-up in trip. Doesn't jump well enough at all for the minimum.

Tommy Fury's attitude is spot on. For someone without much of an amateur career, it's going to take A LOT of learning fights before he's ready to go challenging for titles - yet Twitter warriors expect him to be world champion by now. He has all the time in the world.

This looked a stonewall penalty in normal time, but that's a blatant dive by Harvey Elliott. How on earth has VAR not overturned that?
I know Wan-Bissaka shouldn't have gone to ground like that in the box, but he doesn't even make contact with Elliot.
In fact, Elliot falling over kicks Wan-Bissaka to force a contact. 🤔

It's sickening how many fellow United fans would happily welcome Mason Greenwood back. Even if he is found 'not guilty', we've all seen the pictures and heard the audio. He's guilty as sin, and any half-decent United fan would never want him representing our club again.

In the last couple of weeks racing has unfortunately shown its still a boys' club, which is a great shame given how the likes of Rachael Blackmore, and ironically Bryony Frost, have made huge strides for women in the sport. Poor from AP (and yes, he knows what he's doing).

One search of 'Thomas Partey' on here is enough to understand why most women never report rape/sexual assault. People scream 'liar' due to a lack of evidence (as if they're entitled to it), but even when there is evidence - case in point Mason Greenwood - they'll defend that too.

Flanking Maneuver (6/4) wins the 2.30 Fairyhouse in good fashion. That's a lovely return to action from Noel Meade's eight-year-old.
It's now eight winners from our last 10 NAP selections.
Taken to extend the run on Saturday is a classy jumper who bids to make a winning return to action at Fairyhouse - and it's fair to say I can't see his price lasting out much longer.

This idea that we should treat Ronaldo any different to our other players is ridiculous. I don't care how many goals you've scored in your career, you do what your manager says and suck it up.

Salver would have walked the Boodles off 128. Horrible.
Salver unchanged (128) but it looks like he won't even be getting an entry in the Boodles. Very disappointing, especially as you'd think they're more likely to get soft ground on the Tuesday than Friday.
