Terrace Talk: Manchester United - Pogba not missed as ‘scowler’ Jose outfoxes Scousers

I support United at football, France at rugby and, naturally, adopt a ‘Friend Of Ireland’ default position in all your island’s endeavours. (Yes, even over Brexit). So a day that saw France win Le Crunch, United beat the Scouse, and Ireland lift the Six Nations was always going to challenge my temperance resolution.

A bottle-bearing Irish neighbour saw to the rest.

Of the above, France’s was probably the unlikelier result, although United’s turned out to be just as much of a last-minute nailbiter.
