Making Shepherd’s Pie from an 1894 Recipe - Beef or Lamb?
Making Shepherd’s Pie from an 1894 Recipe - Beef or Lamb? YouTube video by Tasting History with Max Miller

Shepherd’s Pie causes more controversy than such a simple dish should. It has many names and many fillings. Some say it should only be made with lamb, but history says otherwise. Regardless of what’s in it, it’s delicious. youtu.be/t1O1hcixZDU?...

Rodri fined by FA but avoids ban over β€˜referee has to be neutral’ comments Rodri has been fined Β£80,000 by an FA regulatory commission but escaped a sporting sanction for comments made after Manchester City drew with Spurs

Of course he avoids a ban. Nothing to see here. Move along.

India won a World Cup, but it doesn't feel the same anymore. Here's why India's T20 World Cup win triggered an unexpected question online: why did it feel muted? The answer lies beyond cricket, in psychology, national confidence, and how success reshapes collective emotio...

Interesting take on the flat response to India's T20 WC win. I'm more shocked an article like this was published in the first place, considering the trash that passes for news these days.

Options beyond injuries at Manchester United Much of the post-game conversation following Manchester United’s 2-1 defeat at Newcastle has circled the unavoidable ramifications of injuries

At a time when certain senior options are attracting such scrutiny through inadequate showings, Carrick is primed to look within.

Manchester United to embrace a challenging trip to St James’ Park Trips to St James’ Park have been anything but straightforward for United in recent seasons, last earning three points in October 2020.

Carrick will be well aware of the threat posed on Wednesday evening, but these are the type of tests that allow top-tier sides to prove their worth in the face of potential adversity.

Yep, that's the most reasonable expectation. But i have a funny feeling in my bones. πŸ™‚ NUFC are slightly vulnerable at the moment so if we want 3 points, now's as good a time as any. 🀞🏽

Ancient Egyptian Zalabiya (or my best guess at what they were). Foods like this are displayed on the walls of temples and tombs like that of Queen Hatshepsut, a pharaoh who they tried to erase from history. youtu.be/g2uEeDzhn14?...

Sofa experts get paid to trigger people. Better we focus on just how sensible Carrick comes across in interviews. Very level head on those shoulders. But yes, there are some super tough games ahead, so looking forward to seeing how everyone reacts to adversity.

Well said.

"Nothing is guaranteed at the highest level of this game, and if it’s not broken, why attempt to fix it?

Anything can happen between here and the end of the season, and I am equally intrigued to see how Carrick and his team will respond to adversity."

3 points is all that matters.

But a reality check as to where United are as a team, considering Palace played on Thursday, and the quality of certain players (they really need to go).

What's going on with Premier League's 115 charges against Man City? The Premier League announced it was charging Man City for breaching the rules in February 2023. City have denied the charges, and the hearings ended in December 2024. What is taking so long?

All we hear is crickets chirping. Shameful.

😳 guys, frankly I’m going to be supremely grateful for any and all wins going forward. Even the home games are tough.

Champions League isn’t a guarantee, and the team will have to play exceptionally well to achieve top 3-4-5.

Benjamin Sesko fires Manchester United to victory against Everton Manchester United have extended their unbeaten league run to 10, with Michael Carrick collecting an impressive 16 points from a possible 18.

Manchester United worked hard for their three points against a physical side and a barrage of rugby-like routines that were more befitting a Six Nations spectacle at times.
