The Singapore Premier League is streaming on You Tube and Oakley Cannonier who was the ball boy who threw the ball on for the quick corner in the Champions League semi final against Barcelona is playing up front Can’t remember the last time I was so excited to see a player

Lovely goal in the Myanmar women’s league just now. A free kick from 30 yards out just casually side footed through the air into the top corner. It was so casual it was almost lazy but it was a fantastic goal

Worth remembering that United have Project 2028 where they aim to win the Premier League in their 150th anniversary which is the end of next season They may be up against it with regards to meeting their target

I much preferred it when we were shit and could still beat Mancunian teams 7-0

How do you let Jordan Henderson score twice?

Rob Green’s weekly incredulity at the numbers and figures that Statman Dave throws out is always a delight to listen to

I still largely pro VAR but a six minute VAR review in the J League just now doesn’t help anyone

Just watched Schumacher 94 on Netflix, absolutely fabulous stuff The first half of 1994 was mad for celebrity deaths that really affected 16 year old me - Senna, Bill Hicks and Kurt Cobain Richey Edwards went to the Priory and all seemed bleak. Then five Manc scallies came and blew us all away
