It's an odd one, the first quote seems to make the claim...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2513655/Mike-Phelan-claims-manager-Sir-Alex-Fergusons-years-Manchester-United.html

‘With the way things have gone, my first thoughts are to be the boss, yeah. It’s the progression for me now.

'That’s what I’ve been doing for the last five years, albeit with the title of assistant boss,’ Phelan said.

Interesting article about FIFA world rankings for the world cup. Amazing that teams like Holland can organize these friendlies without knowing the effect on world rankings. Also completely flawed that clubs can write games off via making extra susbtitutions. I thought when spain did this against south Africa they just didn't want the shame of an official defeat on the record, didn't realize they were doing it for point implications.

:D

He's not a player that's had many spells out injured in his career though. I think suspensions are a bigger risk.

I wonder how many other players have missed more games through suspension than injury.

To me "toss up" implies that both sides have an equal chance of getting the position. I still see Man Utd as favourties due to squad depth, fixture list (including home game against Liverpool) and experience in premiership races.

Looking outside Man Utd (who I still see as very likely to finish top 4). if your counting Liverpool, I don't think you can discount everton. Its no fluke that Everton have accumulated the same amount of points as Liverpool so far this season, they have been doing the same for the last 3 or 4 seasons. Also for all the criticism Spurs have had they have accumulated almost the same amount of points as man utd, Liverpool and everton and there are a lot of games left for the squad to gel.

    • It was great, but I don't know why they continue to play Wide Lovely Eyes and Rings of Saturn, which are the weakest of the tracks off both PTSA and ST. Well, I do. It's cos they're about Suzie, so he can sing what he wants. They're the low points of the set. The rest is ace.
    • I didn't this time, but I've seen them before and just because you saw both that night doesn’t mean you can compare them. The Stones were great, but.you didn't think so and you went somewhere else looking for a good time and you found it. For whatever reason you didn't like it, but you were an outlier and all the reviews said they were great.
    • Annie Lennox could be the one to unite the whole forum, nobody has a bad word to say about her, even noted curmudgeon Skip 😄 I'd probably even amble along for a bit meself, and i'm also a miserable sod 
    • If the below link works - thats interesting.   While I don't particularly put much stock in that account as a source (never seen it before though, tbf), and I can pick a hole or two (see below) in what he says - the timing of it is a week before I had the Fontaines '27 stadium info (same stadium he says on there, Tottenham). The info, or part of it, matches up.   Holes I'd pick: I'd have to watch again but I THINK he says 'end of year' for Tottenham - not possible, for a number of reasons, though he's probably just got his words mixed up there. It's Summer '27, or that's what I've been told. He also says Glastonbury is/would be based on how the album does. That doesn't stack up to me, unless it was a 2028 thing. I suppose that could stack up, i.e a verbal agreement for 2028, but still seems a bit of an odd approach. I would personally still expect it to be 2027 alongside the stadium gigs, IF they are gonna do it, though I've still not got a Scooby when the album is gonna drop, only that the tour is due for Spring (or early) next year.   Interesting, nonetheless.   https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaOB3Q9qkwW/
    • I was hoping that they would just do a tour like they were set to in 2020, rather than having Download as their UK appearance. If they are at DL, I would be surprised to see them headline. I think they sub under Deftones or SOAD
