Some eyepopping stats about Solskjaer's time at Man United - specifically, at home:

- This season, they've conceded more goals at home than Norwich. 11 goals from 6 games, their worst since 1976

- They've already lost 8 home league games this calendar year: the worst since 1989
- They've not kept a single clean sheet at home since March: 14 games, the worst since 1959

- They only won 5 home league games between March and November 2019

- Sheffield United won there for the first time since 1979
- Crystal Palace won there back to back having not won there since 1989

- Cardiff won there having not done so since 1954

- Burnley won there having not done so since 1954

And the rot at Old Trafford specifically goes back well before Solskjaer's time too.
Since Fergie retired:

- West Brom won there for the first time since 1978

- Newcastle won there for the first time since 1972

- Swansea won there for the first time ever

- Sunderland won there for the first time since 1968

- Norwich won there for the first time since 1989
That's without even mentioning 1-6 v Tottenham, 0-5 v Liverpool, or just 8 points from Manchester City's last 9 visits - when City once went 34 years without winning there.

And get this. Yesterday, United had FOUR TOUCHES in the opposition area. At home. In a derby!
That's their lowest since Opta started keeping records on that stat.

Yet still, they don't get rid of him? It's unbelievable. Astounding. And joyous for everyone else too.

The comments on this are just unbelievable.

Yes folks, what a BRILLIANT idea it would be to deny these students support, advice, help of any kind... and stigmatise them instead, because your ideology is more important than their lives and their bodies.
Lots of students are in sex work of some sort. That's a reality. You can either deny that reality or deal with it in a supportive, compassionate way.

If you don't like it, bring back maintenance grants. But I bet most of those condemning have constantly voted for tuition fees.
Constantly voted for massive student debt. Then you wonder why stuff like this happens?

Prostitution is legal in Uruguay - which helps keep those who do it a lot safer. Those involved in it pay into the tax system and receive social security and healthcare. That's a good thing.

A little update to this. He is DEFINITELY recovering and his courage to survive is just unbelievable.

Yesterday, I found him sitting on his lonesome outside the local bakery. He immediately flew straight to my balcony to wait for my return there. 🥰
Then today, he appeared when bigger pigeons were on the balcony. They chased him off and I was FURIOUS. I shook my curtains at them: a signal they know means "scram!"

That must be confusing. "Shaun, we thought you were our friend". Yes, I am - but I won't tolerate bullying!
And... it worked. They scarpered, he returned half an hour later, and he gently trotted in. In other words, he can almost walk again! ❤️🙏

All that in just 4 days since something so awful happened to him. I find it astonishing. And his feathers are visibly growing back too.

Every last thing O'Brien says in this call applies to HIM over 2019.

- Cheerled for Fracking Jo Swinson
- Lied constantly about Labour's Brexit position
- Actually referred to Labour as 'the party of Holocaust denial'
- Insisted 'any other leader would be 20 points ahead'
- Referred to Corbyn as 'Magic Grandpa'
- Referred to 13 million Labour voters as a 'cult'
- Constantly ignored what the Tories were doing
- Just punched left instead

He had all the information at his disposal. The above is what he chose to do.
He was every bit as wrong as any Brexit voter he publicly lampoons... and he still doesn't get it even now.

And you know what he does with anyone who disagrees with him on here? Like Owen Jones, he blocks them.

I know they have to say this, don't get me wrong. But God it annoys me.

'Working people'. 'Hardworking families'. The latter, making it sound like 2-year-olds only matter if they're already slaving their guts out.

Work is good for us, yes. But so is leisure.
The world's happiest places are consistently the most egalitarian.

And the world's most egalitarian societies place an emphasis on WELLBEING and FREE TIME.

Because we're not on this planet to sit in grim as hell offices all day long being bullied by arseholes for poverty pay.
We're not on this planet to spend our whole lives slaving away doing something we hate only to drop dead in sheer exhaustion the moment we can finally afford to stop.

The meaning of life? It's love. In all its forms.

Dear me.

When a straight woman says she wants a 'tall, dark, handsome man', is she being short phobic, pink phobic or ugly phobic? No: she's expressing a physical preference.

Lesbian women are attracted to... other women. Not to an 'essence' or an 'aura'... but to other women
Not only that - but sexual attraction IS NOT MATHS. It's biological, it's chemical... and while I hate to be so blunt, physical desire frequently involves desiring someone else's body parts. And enjoying them to both partners' fullest.

This stuff isn't controversial.
It's only become so thanks to an unhinged, mad discourse which isn't just denying sex itself - it's now started denying the basis of sexual attraction! It's taking us back beyond prehistoric times in the name of 'progress' and 'inclusion'. 🙄
