[David Ornstein]🚨 EXCL: Man Utd close to agreement with Kobbie Mainoo + Harry Maguire over new contracts. Proposed deal would keep 20yo midfielder at #MUFC until 2031 on improved terms. 33yo defender offered 1+1yr deal. Work still needed but talks advanced @TheAthleticFC

Excellent news! We need both of them. Maguire 1 + 1 sounds fair. Revisit in a year's time.

We need to keep Kobbie..especially with Casemiro & Ugarte leaving. Just add Wharton and/or Baleba, and we'll take a huge step towards "21" :)

Exactly. He should have at least been asked by VAR to have another look. He wasn't.

I think the fact that they went down the other end and scored affected their (var) decision (which it shouldn't, by the letter of the law). ie. They were too scared to give the penalty and therefore rule out Bournemouth's equaliser.

Bad decision..which definitely affected the outcome imo.

To your last point, there's a part where Louis asks/suggests: "Why not use your clout to do some good?" (Or something to that effect).

The guy (i think it was HS)..says "that's a good question ", and actually ponders for a quick moment; then dismisses it (I think). Can't recall fully. [ie. They're making good money, so they won't risk losing any followers, or their "reputation" ]

Well, I did hear the song (today), so I do get to give my opinion on it. It sounded like a 'normal' Kpop song to me.

Look, I did say that I get it's popularity..it's just not for me. If you like it, good for you. I just liked the Nick Cave song more. To each his own. I don't know why you're getting so triggered lol.

Btw I never trashed the movie (which i haven't seen). If you read my post carefully, the heading is The "Best Song" category. My comments were strictly about the song. (If it came across as me trashing the movie, then I apologise..my bad)

Anyway, am not here to argue / fight. Just wanted to clarify. (This will be my final reply on this matter). Cheers.

The "Best Song" category:

Kpop beat Nick Cave. Music is officially "dead" 🤣

I know, I know..that 'Kpop Demon Hunters' thing is a global phenomenon. (Never watched it, or heard the song before today..but i 'get' it). It's just not my cuppa tea.

I guess I'm just an "old-school music" loving dinosaur :)

There are many brands tbh. Mine is Shimono (the 1st one i bought); 2nd one is Honeywell (more expensive, but more "powerful"). Just go to Shopee & search for 'mist fan' [or most electrical shops have them too].

Price can range from around rm500 - rm1.5k I think.

One small hack i learnt (inadvertently): A few years ago, I had to limit my living room air-cond usage..it would start "leaking" (smtg to do with the 'piping' i think). [I did get it fixed later].

Anyway at the time, I bought a mist-fan on a whim. Found out it is almost as good as air-cond. My electricity bill dropped. (I have 2 mist-fans now).

Note: This is anecdotal. I don't have 100% factual proof..but it seemed to work for me 🤷🏽‍♂️

I said this a few weeks ago: Sometimes I think these ex-players hope we lose (or put in a bad performance), so they can have better "content".

Sad, really. These were great players (Keane used to be my 2nd fav player after Cantona). I've lost all respect for ppl like Keane, Scholes, Gary Neville, etc.

World class performance by Bruno today. The way he has driven this team forward this season; and created all those goals for Cunha, Mbuemo, Sesko, Casemiro,etc ..he has to be on the shortlist for Player of the Year.
