He repeatedly asks him to leave .
Starmer just stood there shocked I think.
Minder dosnt really restrain him just stops him getting past.
But it didn’t look good as a PR visit.

When Sir Keir stepped inside The Raven for a visit that had been pre-arranged with one of the owners, Mr Humphris told him to "get out of my pub".

The co-owner, Tim Perry, has since apologised to Labour.

The 54-year-old, who said he does not agree with coronavirus lockdowns, said the Labour leader had walked in to his pub without asking.

Can't anyone walk into a public house without asking? As it's a public house
 
Funny how quite Liverpool fans have been the last 24 hours.

When they beat us on the first gsme of the season I was bombarded with messages. Not a single one yesterday ?.
 
England team minus the Super League lads when they're banned:

Pope; Justin, Coady, Mings, Cresswell; Rice, Ward-Prowse, Bellingham; Sancho, Calvert-Lewin, Grealish. Honestly not much worse off. :LOL: Only missing Kane and Foden really.

Not sure atm . .( COVID rules)
Do you need an app to book your time slot.
Does look a bit like playing to the cameras the more I see it.
 
Reported that Chelsea to leave the super league ASAP. Seeing as there not yet in it re not having kicked a ball, how hard is it to get out. Hopefully City will not be far behind..

I heard that Man City ditched the ESL first, good on 'em.
I fear that the Glazers will be the last to give up, greedy bastards!
At least Ed Woodward has tendered his resignation. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

At least that would give you a trophy. By definition the last team to withdraw from the ESL will be the inaugural (and probably the only ever) winner of the tournament.
 
Given they (the ESL teams) must have spent more than 6 months on this, and boat loads of cash, to quit this early is a bit meh?

What do they gain by quitting now?

Possibly that they listened to the fans - although if they hadn’t anticipated the backlash they must be even more stupid than we give them credit for!

First guess is that man city and Chelsea were going out if the champions League at the end of the week
 
Chelsea and City weren't behind this, it was the Americans at Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal. They sought to take advantage of the pandemic and clubs like Barcelona, Real and Inter who have huge financial issues. The other clubs went for it to stop themselves being left behind, not that it lets othem off the hook but at least they've done a U-turn.

Woodward goes for his part and rightly so. He's destroyed Utd as a major force, devalued the brand with cheap sponsorship deals and failed to get Haaland, Bellingham and Sancho in the last 18 months alone. This business summed up the arrogance of the man.

These owners have masssively overplayed their hand and share prices are on the slide. This is the time for Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal fans to boycott their clubs and launch serious protests to force the owners out :sneaky:(y)

I think their positions as owners of these clubs is now untenable.
I think they'll be looking for potential buyers very soon ...................................... I certainly bloody hope so.
 
Fact remains that money is the guiding factor in football. Being the best costs the most.

The clubs belong to the owners. They decide what direction the club takes. The fans can think they have a voice but in all honesty, they don't. The owners will try and make as much mobney from their investment as they possibly can and they all see this as an opportunity to do so. The 'soul' of the club is irrelevant when they can make a stack of cash

Oh ye of little faith.

One down, one to go.

£50 or below for top 100 courses, twilight deals next ..........:D

The mental thing is Utd would gain more from a decent owner not sucking money out, than they would from the European Super League over the years. Imagine that £50-80m a year the Glazers take from the club in interest to fund their loans and debt secured to buy Utd and then numerous refinancing of said debt.

Since the Glazers have been at Utd they've taken over £1b from the club in interest payments alone. That's money the club earnt and should have been reinvested in the stadium, academy, transfers and keeping ticket prices low.
