I'm obliged for the nod.

The "Penrose Effect" seems to be a real thing - hypothesised in the 1930s and re-tested in the last decade or so:

Where you reduce your inpatient psychiatric provision, you'll see a correlated rise within 10yrs in prisons of seriously mentally ill prisoners.

Rachel Reeves a year ago: "We’ve now set the envelope for the rest of this parliament. We don’t need to increase taxes further."

She might live to regret saying that.

Manchester City play a game of football today. Most of us will be watching. Which makes sense. What doesn’t make sense is why so few care about City’s owner playing an active role in a genocide so gruesome it can be seen from space. By @barneyronay.bsky.social

On Friday, the coroner ruled that gambling disorder caused Lee Adams’ death.

Virgin Games failed to act on warning signs while other gambling companies blocked him.

Instead, they kept sending him offers and incentives.

628 bets in 72 minutes, then Lee killed himself. No one stopped him

After an inquest into the death of Lee Adams, 36, his family is calling for greater regulation of addictive online gambling

I'd be extremely happy if he was just used sparingly from now on, super sub or the odd low block game. But we can't be starting him. We need to build with Martinez De Ligt and Yoro after the int'l break and stick with that

Angry Bri @angrybri.bsky.social · 20h

I get some people love him, and I'm trying to be very restrained since Anfield 😍 but we will never ever ever play well, other than a deep low block parking the bus when needed, when Maguire starts. I'm sorry but it's been years and the outcome is the same. The team has to play a certain way with him

I think some United fans need a bit of a reality check. The same ones who 6 weeks ago were saying Amorim’s system is crap and he has to go, now apparently expect us to win every week. Teams simply don’t go from bad to unbeatable in that timeframe. Especially one without a functioning midfield.

Being disappointed and frustrated at not winning games is so much better than being disappointed and frustrated at constantly losing games, tbh. We're building something

This is why we all need to double down on protecting our young talented players

Sesko, Dorgu, Yoro, etc

I'm definitely Team Sesko but he really needs to start being a tad quicker and more ruthless in his actions. Will make all the difference to him and the team if he changes his approach slightly. Don't care if he shanks a few as a result, it's for the greater good

I think sloppy passing is the thing that drives me most crazy, it'll have me screaming at the players/ TV more than anything else

Angry Bri @angrybri.bsky.social · 1d

Yep, fair points

Adam Levitt @adamlevitt.bsky.social · 1d

I think luck evens out in the long run.

What should be discussed more is how we weren’t really prepared for the start of the season. Only Cuhna was match fit from our summer signings. We had to use Bayindir for 6 matches (or 16% of the season). How many points did that cost us?

Angry Bri @angrybri.bsky.social · 1d

Pass the ball better, challenge properly, and close down crosses. All things Ruben will be hammering into them, but it takes time

Angry Bri @angrybri.bsky.social · 1d

The team and squad is far from perfect, but we're getting better. Not every slightly negative result requires mass hysteria. We haven't beaten Spurs since 2022, but we should have today if the players would stop inviting pressure on ourselves with sloppy passes and half arsed attempts at tackles

Angry Bri @angrybri.bsky.social · 1d

Doesn't change the fact they got a massive deflection to score with the first shot I can remember them having. That's bad luck by any barometer

Angry Bri @angrybri.bsky.social · 1d

Still a deflection on the first goal. These things go against us lots

Angry Bri @angrybri.bsky.social · 1d

If we weren't the unluckiest team on the planet we'd be on about 28 points by now whilst still being a massive work in progress
