The whole thing is hilarious and just smacks of what’s wrong with the club. Everything is being played out in the media and it seems no one can make a decision, the owners and leadership of the football side really don’t help themselves here. I don’t think Poch is a bad appointment, but just feels like an appointment that should have happened 2-3 years ago and probably smacks on him and his Agent letting Man Utd know he’s interested, which ultimately comes down to the fact the club has no idea what football team they want to be.

Think it’s important to add, allegedly did. Otherwise we get into murky territory and trial by social media. Russell Brands pivot in to the alt-right and Christianity was so strange, but I think most people knew it was not genuine and was an attempt to change his image. David Walliams, well some of the allegations are disturbing and in the lines of comedy it’s always difficult to know when someone is playing a character and what their real-life persona is. I always took it that he played up his flamboyance but was far more “normal” outside of his showbiz persona, but it does appear this was likely not the case.

Some scandolous decisions this weekend. A penalty for an accidental clash of heads! Guarantee you'll never ever see that again.

I feel you can’t really read too much in to what has happened and make much logical conclusion. The only thing I think you can say, is the country is feeling the pinch of the war and voters likely show less loyalty than previous generations. Banking on the progressive nature of the democracts or the established for the 2028 presidency run seems strange at the moment, I think the dust needs to settle a little. Does seem Ukraine bombing the data centres likely had a huge impact too. Less bots to influence people (and note Reform sliding in the U.K. too) has temporarily woken people up too.

Surely from all the media pre=show, this episode played out differently? Wonder if James A had a total breakdown in the roundtable before he then just flat out said he was a traitor. Personally I've enjoyed the civillian series way more than the celebrity ones. Even last season, there's no jepordy really and it's far more comedic. But this can happen with series, sometimes the cast doesn;t work out how you want it to. I don't think it helps that people know each other before the show either, it takes some of the tension away and there's no secret relationships like in the normal series. The game tends to be much simplier too, so it relies on the cast more. I think the initial traitor choices were fairly poor. Generally all the best series has a great traitor or traitors and I'm not sure we've had that this series. James played the reluctant traitor well, but when someone is ruthless and cold.. that's always the best TV!

You can tell they’re a lot more used to everything now and I must say I’m really impressed by the show. Just goes to show how subjective comedy is, I enjoyed the last episode and thought the pre recorded sketches were great, but the live ones missed the spot for me outside of Weekend Update. Not a bad thing at all, that’s what sketch comedy is all about.. what one person loves someone else is indifferent to. Still think Danny Dyer is the best host this series and I suspect he’ll be the first person they ask to do it again. I do think this is the first time Weekend Update sat on the fence, think they could have had a lot of fun with Vittorio Angelone and the correct backlash he’s had, but also understand a lot of the cast are close to him.

Surely whoever comes in will be out of work currentlty. I'd guess it would be Howe. I don't think he'd be a terrible appointment, but his Newcastle tem were built on being physical and aggressive and the team would likely need to be built around Sesko to work. I don't really rate Carrick as a coach, but it's also clear as mud the players are not playing for him either and it does reek of there being a dressing room divide. But we know what will happen, Man Utd will find a new lease of form when the new manager comes in.

Ah fantastic, the fans are in absolute dissaray once again.. perfection 🤣 Most people could have seen this coming a mile off, new manager bounce and physically fresher than most the teams. Now I will say, I think Carrick misses Sesko, but for whatever reason he struggled to build play with Sesko starting. I think people will say they didn't recruit in the summer well, but they still spent a fair bit without selling anybody and imo spent pretty poorly on three midfielders, one of whom I don't think they needed and could have resorted to using the funds elsewhere. Not sure anyone comes out of this looking well from the players up to Ineos to be honest. But also.. football is so fickle. All it takes is a couple of good results then you slip back under the radar.

Honestly, this club is absolutely bonkers 😂 Not sure losing away to Athletico is a bad result in this format, and I also didn't think Man Utd played that badly either. No idea wjy Martinez came out with the self destructive interview.. even if it is true, what a daft thing to do.

Such a rip-off of Rein Me In.
