Martial is not a number 9. Playing centre-forward is an office job and he just wants to be freelance.
Pogba just made an entire back four vacate the premises.
I just don't understand why you would play Southampton away with half a midfield that can't put pressure on the ball. That was never going to end well.
I honestly think that Manchester United fans have been clamouring for an elite young defensive midfielder for over a decade now. It's one of the weirdest gaps in transfer policy that I've ever seen at a wealthy club.

On refugees: too few rich politicians in Europe understand or care about the desperation that it takes to leave your home, or that climate change is not just going to make refugees of poor non-white people.
This reflexive terror that poor people are going to swarm wealthy countries is so revealing. It shows how unsuited so many leaders are to the approaching ecological moment. The imaginations are so fearful, so small.
Climate change is going to cause some very unpredictable patterns of migration and some of those patterns may involve fleeing to countries for which politicians currently have contempt. Those politicians need to wise up.

Thread. All very true, it’s a question of sadly finite resources. It’s very hard to pick and choose what to respond to, because if you fight every battle that’s all you end up doing. This takes such careful coordination - and so much money.
Investigative journalists have never been more important, because their stories are one of the few things that have the power to disrupt the manufactured controversies of the “culture wars”. They help set the agenda. They need resources so urgently.
It’s so interesting to see how the hard-right are terrified of well-informed celebrities, because they are the sole group with the credibility and reach to consistently battle tabloid headlines.

The biggest challenge is keeping focus. We are living in a time governed not so much by “debates” and “polarisation” as the outright denial of fact. Large parts of society are not so much “divided” as tearing themselves free from reality. The hardest thing is how to address that.
I have been thinking about this article a lot recently. It was praised for its nuance and balance but it omitted the huge issue for many around the race report - the report’s deliberate distortion of sources, often to the horror of those who were claimed as contributors.
This is something I see constantly in British political discourse: the avoidance of huge and horrifying realities in the search for reassuring nuance. But a Government that lies to the electorate in the vast majority of its Facebook ads doesn’t want nuance. It wants domination.
