I don't often agree with Jamie Carragher, but he's right: ref has to use a bit of common sense there.
And, while Keane has been great this season, but we've all had a moment when we wanted to give him a slap. 😉

Rightly pointing out United have not changed their plans despite being 1 down against 10 men.

I loved reading Racel Cooke in @theobserveruk.bsky.social So sad that she has died so young. Incidentally a great evangelist for Sheffield too.
Here is a prime example of her work: a lovely profile of another of my cultural gotos.

A final note. This country has amazing people in the private sector, in universities, in charities, in schools and hospitals and the police, in the civil service. And frankly, the lack of clarity, the lack of vision, the lack of basic decency from many of our politicians is letting us all down.

Seems like quite a moment. This morning, the UK was powered entirely by low-carbon energy, it seems.
Yes it's windy and sunny. But it's still a milestone.
Yes it's windy and sunny. But it's still a milestone.
We could have declared "100% zerocarbon" this morning when renewables+nuclear were generating 100% of UK consumption.
As usual this drove our price down, so exports up, and we had to run gas just to power the exports.
NESO set hard target that ZCO has to include exports as well as UK demand.
