I love Ethiopian, so I'll be checking it out next time I'm home.
It's a great place for food these days the Northern Quarter. I've been going to a few Bangladeshi cafes around there for a curry since before the area was trendy and popped in to say hello to them when I was back in April. They're all big reds in there and their first question was "What the fuck is going on?"
That Ethiopian restaurant is just around the corner from the Crown and Anchor where I met Chitty for a pint. I recommend a visit for a swift half of mild if you're back in future . Not cheap these days, but very few places are in Manchester anymore.

Manchester United leads overspending table
Issue number 389 of the Weekly Post assesses paying fee transfer operations carried out by current big-5 league clubs since July 2012. The study compares players’ values prior to transfer, estimated according to the exclusive CIES Football Observatory’s statistical model, and fees actually paid. This allows us to highlight clubs having most driven inflation up, with Manchester United heading the rankings.
Manchester United’s total investment for the 33 fee paying transfers assessed in the study was €238M greater than the estimated value of players concerned: €1.59 vs €1.36 billion (+18%). Juventus (€233 M, +29%) and Paris St-Germain (€162M, +19%) complete the overspending table’s podium. Only three Premier League teams figure among the 36 clubs that invested less money than expected to conclude the fee-paying deals assessed. This confirms their key role in driving up inflation on the transfer market.

A rare decent article from the Graun these days (although they still managed to fit in some nonsense virtue signalling about toxic masculinity).
Erik ten Hag’s strange charisma is reigniting United’s fighting spirit | Manchester United | The Guardian
I made a similar comment to a mate of mine during the summer about Ten Hag's lack of charisma. You're hardly gonna get many sound bites out of him, but who gives a fuck as long as he's doing it where it matters?
For the first time in a while we have a proper manager at the peak of his game.
I particularly liked this bit, my dear nammers:
Christian Eriksen had options, Tyrell Malacia was about to join Lyon, Lisandro Martínez refused to countenance Arsenal despite the London factor, and Antony – at whom, it is understood, United had a free run because he can be difficult – knows Ten Hag “is perfect” for him, so went on strike to force his move.
It's that time of the year.
PMT.
Pre Match Tension.
I may be away a while depending on today's outcome.
The internet will go down in South London, CM and Cairo today
