Only new years resolution I've made this year is to try and read more books. Used to get though 30-40 a year but thats dropped to 10-15 over the last few years
First book finished is this on Englands World Cup win. Decent read and covered lots I wasn't familiar with despite how well known it all is

The sort of win that in past seasons we've looked back on at the end of the season as one of those that wins titles. Will that by the same? #ManCity

Lack of width today, every time a player gets a ball in a wide position they come inside. No threat of going down the line at all #ManCity

Sadly this has always been the case. There's an ongoing battle on this, as new tools in the fight are introduced, the anti-doping agencies get ahead. Then the dopers find ways round the new tool and get ahead again. It's always been an ongoing battle between the two www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athlet...

Created nothing for 35mins, scored, could have gone in 3-1 up. Standard half between City and Madrid. Just varies which way round it is #ManCity

A couple of years ago teams wouldn't even try and get back into a game against us, they'd go into damage limitation mode. Then last season happened 😬 #ManCity

Anyone know where Haaland stands in the fastest to 100 goals all-time in Englands top flight? Be interesting to see how he compares to someone like Jimmy Greaves or those who played in the explosion of goal-scoring in the 1920's-30's after the offside law was changed #ManCity #FULMCI

Said for ages that I would vote for a party that promised to do nothing but fix the basic running of the state. We could get huge improvements just by doing that instead of another major policy change which almost always gets badly implemented and often breaks more things. See below for an example
As set out in this thread, the causes of the court backlog are chronic lack of funding and absurd inefficiency.
The government has made no proposals to address either. Their answer is to remove juries.
Rather than fix the leaking roof, their solution is to burn the house down.

Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇

Today DHL decided a bush can sign for my deliveries. Was out but got notification that I'd signed for a delivery. Got home to find parcel in a bush outside my house. What is the point of paying for these services?
