Cracking game of rugby league to open the new season…

This has been the worst episode of the greatest show on earth. I applaud Philadelphia for their near perfect performance but overall it’s been a terrible spectacle for the neutral fan. #SuperBowlLIX

If this Super Bowl was a regular season game I’d be turning it off if Philadelphia score the next TD. #SuperBowlLIX

Saying Mahomes has had a stinker so far would be being very polite. The Philadelphia defence has been something else in this first half. 💯 🔥 👏🏼

It’s Super Bowl Sunday, baby! Can’t see anything besides Kansas being crowned ‘World Champions’. 🤣 Only in America. 🙄 #SuperBowl #SuperBowlLIX #NFL

Truly bizarre game! Happy with the win though. 😅 #M6N #SixNations #RFU🌹

You know it’s bad when even the BBC is reporting it for what it is. 👁️ www.bbc.com/news/article...

I know it’s miserable, gloomy and doom laden but don’t bury your head in the sand. In the most eloquent way it can be put; sh¡t’s getting serious! 👁️

With the global and UK domestic political landscape as it currently is, now is not the time for apathy towards politics. 👁️

England RFU are THE most frustrating team in sport…and that’s coming from a Manchester United fan! 🥀 #SixNations #M6N #EnglandRFU

Don’t worry too much about the £100bn negative impact on trade because at least the NHS is in a much healthier state since Brexit! 😏😭 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Feels like we’re at a ‘Fourth Turning’ and what comes next will be pivotal for humanity. This is an excellent long read which also carries a message to a certain Elon: You can’t move on from a past guilt without having properly confronted it.

Good moral dilemma, average film. Rating it at 5 out of 10.

The Holocaust and the importance of its memory in a modern context…

Wondered what direction this film was going in for the most part. Seemed very predictable up until the big twist in the last ten minutes or so. Not worthy of the hype it’s received in my opinion, 6 out of 10 for me.

Holocaust survivor accounts are seemingly more pertinent than they’ve ever been since the Nazi atrocities. It seems our collective memory and conscience is failing us as we tread the dangerous path towards fascism once again. When will we learn? #LightTheDarkness 🕯️ #HolocaustMemorialDay

Doesn’t come close to ‘I’m Not There’ and not sure it outranks other biopics like ‘Ray’ or ‘Walk The Line’. Chalamet does a decent job of portraying Bob Dylan though. Seven out of ten for me.

Halftime verdict: Befitting of a meaningless mid-table match. Fulham have been poor but United have been poorer. #MUFC

Nice bit of gothic horror. Dialogue wasn’t easy to follow at times and I found myself straining to hear what Count Orlok actually said when he spoke. Nevertheless, I’d give it 8 out of 10.

LOLZ 😑

Full time verdict: It’s A-mad world and A-mad game! #MUFC

Halftime verdict: Fully expected this level of performance from United tonight after the lengthy Arsenal game. Far too easy for Southampton in terms of both space and time. United to come alive in the second half though…👀 #MUFC

We asked for the same levels of desire and effort. They delivered! Superb from Manchester United. 👏🏼 #MUFC

Full time verdict: Imagine not liking football! #MUFC

Halftime verdict: United defending better collectively than we’ve seen in recent weeks. Mediocre in possession though and the game has been very stop-start with no real flow to it. Frustrating! #MUFC
