Taylor resigned to challenge Ley, arguing for strong leadership to hold the Labor government accountable after the Coalition's crushing May 2025 election loss, where they won only 43 House seats to Labor's 94.

Amorim took charge on November 11, 2024, after Ten Hag's dismissal, but United finished 15th last season with just 42 points—their worst Premier League placing.

Key Takeaway

Manchester United supporters are poring over a tough stat: Rúben Amorim's 14 Premier League wins in his first 44 games fall far short of Erik ten Hag's 30 over the same span.

A viral clip from Manchester United's 2-1 defeat at West Ham on October 27, 2024, shows Dalot blazing over from a Bruno Fernandes through ball, a blunder that ramped up pressure leading to Ten Hag's sacking days later. Fans darkly humor that the miss also doomed Amorim, fired in January 2026, though some defend Dalot's smart runs. Now steady under interim boss Michael Carrick—with new signings Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha to sharpen finishing—United head to the London Stadium on a three-win streak, aiming to bury the memory.

Key Takeaway

Diogo Dalot's shank from six yards out in last year's West Ham loss feels like a ghost returning tonight. Fans joke it cost Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim their jobs.

A popular post compared four massive transfers—Neymar's €222 million shift to PSG in 2017, Hazard's €115 million flop at Real Madrid in 2019, Ronaldo's 2018 Juventus switch, and Messi's 2021 free move to PSG—asking which was the worst. Ronaldo's decision topped the list for many, as he left Madrid's dynasty at age 33, delivered two Scudettos and 81 Serie A goals but saw Juventus exit early in Europe three straight years. Hazard's injury-plagued run yielded just 7 goals in 76 games, Neymar managed 118 goals over six years without Champions League success, and Messi added two titles despite PSG's European struggles. Fans often spare Messi due to Barcelona's financial woes, while nostalgia lingers for Ronaldo's unreal 2011/12 Madrid season of 60 goals.

Key Takeaway

Ronaldo's 2018 move from Real Madrid to Juventus still haunts fans, trading Champions League triumphs for a Serie A stint that ended in disappointment.

Manchester United drew 1-1 at West Ham after Benjamin Sesko's stoppage-time strike (90+6) canceled out the Hammers' earlier lead, keeping Michael Carrick's interim unbeaten run at five games. The flashpoint was Diallo's choice to square the ball across goal instead of shooting on United's best chance, sparking fan arguments over whether the tight angle excused him or if he needed to be greedier. Some defend his pressing and link-up play in Carrick's system as right midfielder, where he's goalless so far, while others demand more killer instinct from the academy product.

Key Takeaway

With victory in sight at 90+5, Amad Diallo had the ball in the box and the keeper exposed—then passed it right into a pack of defenders, handing West Ham a lifeline.

Benfica edged Alverca 2-1 in Primeira Liga matchday 21, with Andreas Schjelderup opening the scoring, Lucas Figueiredo equalizing before halftime, and Vangelis Pavlidis' goal ruled out by VAR for handball before Cabral's 86th-minute header sealed it. The club posted a video compilation on X highlighting box challenges on Rafa Silva, Schjelderup, and Leandro Barreiro, insisting all three were penalties. Fans split on the calls—Benfica supporters called them clear while neutrals and analysts argued most were not, with only Barreiro's possibly debatable. The win keeps Benfica third in a tight title race behind FC Porto and Sporting CP.

Key Takeaway

Teenager Anísio Cabral nodded home the winner with his first touch off the bench, sending 49,311 fans at Estádio da Luz into wild celebration—yet Benfica's leaders fumed over three missed penalties.

Massie, a libertarian-leaning Republican from Kentucky, teamed up with Rep. Ro Khanna to review unredacted Jeffrey Epstein documents at the Justice Department, spotting six more names redacted without clear reason. Khanna read them into the Congressional Record, and Massie noted one tied to a high-ranking foreign official; hours later, the DOJ released additional names, crediting the lawmakers' bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act. Supporters like Smith and libertarians praise Massie's independence on spending and foreign aid, while critics from MAGA circles question his bill passage record—though his conservative voting scores stay high at 92-96%. The split highlights tensions between party loyalty and principled stands in a divided Congress.

Key Takeaway

Comedian Dave Smith didn't hold back this week, naming Rep. Thomas Massie the top congressman after years of support. It landed right as Massie pressed for full Epstein file transparency.

In Sunday's Liga Portugal Betclic match, Cabral headed Samuel Dahl's cross in the 86th minute to secure a 2-1 victory over Alverca, after João Figueiredo had equalized Alverca's early Sidnei Schjelderup opener. It was Cabral's second senior goal in under 30 minutes of top-flight play—both under José Mourinho, who called the young forward 'blessed' for his finishing touch. Born in 2008, Cabral rose through Benfica's academy and starred with seven goals as Portugal won the UEFA U-17 Euros and FIFA U-17 World Cup in 2024, making him the club's youngest league scorer this century.

Key Takeaway

Seventeen-year-old Anísio Cabral stepped off the bench at Estádio da Luz and nodded home a winner just 30 seconds later, turning the game for Benfica.
