Shows how little the yanks know about football. This is almost certainly the end of an era. United will remain a strong club but the days of winning the title every other year are over.
Or maybe they're just smart enough to know that a 71 year old was bound to retire at some point.
So you want a body that spends public money on collating local government election results (when there are clearly volunteers happy to do this for free) but you dont want one that polices electoral finance laws? Interesting.
I'm also a bit puzzled about the UKIP projected share since they struggle to get more than a handful of votes in places like inner London, Scotland, Manchester, etc.
I look forward to the happy day that he emigrates to the US to join his elder brother.
A grown man who follows rounders. says it all.
EdM , inevitably , is a Boston Red Sox fan ;
Q. Ed, you put the Boston Red Sox website on your desert island discs. Where does your interest in baseball come from?
A. I lived in Boston when I was seven for a year, then more when I was twelve, I went there for a term of junior high school when my dad was teaching there. And that made me a fanatic. And the Boston Red Sox have this amazing story because in some ways they bear some resemblance to the Labour Party because they won the world series in I think 1918, and they sold their most famous player Babe Ruth, and they didn’t win it again until 2004, they sold him to their arch-rivals the New York Yankees, who won something like nineteen world championships in between. It was known as the curse of the Babe because they’d sold their most famous player. And what’s even more extraordinary about them is that they came very close to winning on a whole number of occasions in that 86 year period. So it’s an amazing story of disaster and then redemption. In a way it’s slightly less exciting being a Boston Red Sox fan since 2004, since they won, because the curse has been lifted. But nevertheless, I’m still a fanatic.
I am willing to make a slightly longer term wager. Dan Hodges will become a Tory or a Kipper within the next 5 years. He is not a Labour supporter and I am not sure why his views are given any credence.

Seems like a complete waste of time. Axe it.

Pass the sick bag , Alice.
I would have thought that the EC would have encouraged the councils to have a common reporting system on votes at the very least.
Axing it - don't take that point seriously, yet.
