Oh well, to put off doing any housework, I’ll sort out the links for my own pitting:

Mutton (as opposed to Lamb)is pretty much unheard of in my own personal experience in the U.K.
I’ve eaten it as dehydrated Arctic survival rations and did’t rate it myself but thats not really a fair taste test.

Lust4Life is clearly not experience enough, because it’s certainly not unknown in the UK, although admittedly nowhere near the ubiquity of lamb.

That is why I added the caveat “in my experience”,actually I’ve never even seen it on sale let alone meet anyone who’s eaten it (outside of a “meat” takeaway curry that is.)
Though I do know that when the retail market wasn’t so finickity some decades ago mutton was a quite common British dish.

OK, my response was a bit cutting, but in the big scheme of things, meh. Note that if you follow the logic of Lust4Life’s various statements through, he was eating Arctic survival rations alone, which I think is a story worth telling.
Is money enough to get a lower-division team into the Premiership?

Of course !Man.U. is the most successful club on earth,its all about genuine,raw,local talent !
If a club could just buy players and then win then there would be no interest in soccer from any slightly intelligent person.

‘Most successful team on earth’? Liverpool’s European titles are enough to challenge that assertion.

I stand by that one as a perfectly reasonable challenge to a hyperbolic statement.
Right, normal service is resumed. I’ll play Chalfont & Lemur.
