Used to see people get more nervous for this than anything else in training

Training and preparation is essential.
In getting ready for operations and facing all eventualities, in the extremely unlikely event an aircraft enters the water, our aircrew and sailors have been training to escape ๐

Abhorrent and disgusting homophobic abuse aimed at a colleague and friend for doing his job. We put ourselves in the firing line on a weekly basis and are well aware that our job polarises opinions but it should never ever come to such personal abuse.

Love to see this. One senior player just blasting another for a mistake and just taking it on the chin.

James Milner must be protected at all costs.
He shouldnโt be having to start at Old Trafford in 2022, but heโs going to be so important for resetting the standards we have had for the last few years. Good to see thereโs nobody off limits for a rocket

NEW: for the first time in the pandemic, a Covid infection now carries less mortality risk than a flu infection in England, the result of widespread immunity and the emergence of a less virulent variant in Omicron.
