Erik ten Hag is a charlatan. Bayer Leverkusen saw this after a few weeks. Manchester United took 2 and a half years to notice how fucking awful he was at building a squad and thus set us back many years in terms of squad quality.

This is the traditional Pirate flag. But it was one of many. All ships had their own. THIS particular one was created by 'Calico Jack'John Rackham circa 1719, for his ship The Ranger, which he inherited from Charles Vane.

One or more of the boilers was on fire even before leaving Cherbourg. Huge coal fires were raging uncontrolled which weakened the patched damage already there.

The Olympis captain was the same captain who went down with Titanic. Steel plates were riveted over the damage and were supposed to have buckled in the Atlantic. The captain steered the ship onto an iceberg in the hope of keeping it afloat until California turned up. But it didn't.

There has long been an insurance fraud theory. Olympic crashed into a Royal Navy ship in September 1911 and insurers wrote it off as the damage was too severe. So they switched the 2 ships' identities and planned to scuttle 'Titanic'. But the support ship got lost (The California) and people died.

All surviving White Star employees were herded into a warehouse and kept there for a LONG time by White Star executives and banned from speaking to anyone, especially the press. The damage Titanic sustained is oddly similar to the damage sustained by Olympic the year before when it crashed.

These are all checkable facts: Just before leaving Southampton, boiler room workers disembarked en masse in the middle of a labour crisis. Why? JP Morgan, who founded the US Federal Reserve, didn't get on the ship despite being booked on it. Why?

Here's my conspiracy theory for the day. In 1912, Titanic sank with an odd loss of lives. Several high-ranking American financiers died on that ship and they vigorously opposed the introduction of a US Central Banking System (The Federal Reserve). A year later, the US Federal Reserve was born.

In fairness it's quite a big "one". Instead of buying 3 forward players perhaps buy 2, leaving time and cash to bring in a midfielder. Our midfield is a shambles. Massive disconnect between defence and attack with and without the ball.
