You're wrong. He's a very clever guy actually.

People don't seem to understand that he's essentially an actor playing a role. In his case the role is a united fan. He's not really a united fan of course (he's a Forest fan) but he plays the role and he plays it really well. He gets loads of people to watch him watching a game and it's paid him well. It's even got him a regular slot on the radio

In my younger days I knew quite a few of the Coronation Street cast and they'd tell amusing stories of someone coming up to them when they were out, and getting really annoyed about something their character had done, or sympathising over something bad that had happened to their character.

You can certainly criticise what he represents, which is a group of people that social media has facilitated and includes people who monetise watching their team (if it's even their team) on TV. But there is no one remotely close to him that field.

Back in the day, we were having a pint one afternoon in the Blue Bell in Whitefield and sat at the table next to us was Dawn Acton, the Tracy Barlow actress, trying to have an orange juice in peace with what we assumed to be her boyfriend. Everyone kept looking over at her and eventually she goes to the bog, where clearly someone cornered her to talk about Corrie. She came back to her table, said “Fucking Tracy Barlow” grabbed her bag and her boyfriend and left. I did feel sorry for her.

Keane allegedly headbutted at the Emirates yesteday

Good

I've said all along that their aim has been to meet targets. These targets are quite explicit:

• Finish top four
• Get to the CL knockout stage
• Get to the QF of both domestic cups

That's their football objectives and what they base their revenue assumptions on. Anything more is a bonus, not an expectation. The first of those is key though. We saw LVG sacked even though he won them a trophy, because he didn't achieve that.

And that, IMHO, is the single biggest mistake the rags have made since the pisscan retired.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

I almost feel for that Saeed. He seems like a proper fan, unlike the rest of the clowns, who are acting out a role.

Rashford has liked sancho's twitter rant against the manager.

Ten haag won't be manager next season.

He hasn’t. Or else he’s unliked it now

Ashton telling SSN/Talkshite not to cover it. Still accusing us of being VAR cheats instead.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Who did he headbutt?

All of us.

 

[horlock_was_super]

It's the blue shirt that does it. Remember how handsome Carlos Tevez turned overnight in July 2009

and his head was no longer back to front or sewn on even ;)

Manchester United striker Antony, 23, is being investigated by the São Paulo Civil Police for domestic violence against his ex-girlfriend, DJ and influencer Gabriela Cavallin, also 23.

UOL had access to photos, videos, conversations and testimonies from witnesses accompanying the investigation.

The records reveal threats, intimidation and physical attacks made by the player, who played in the 2022 World Cup and is one of the highlights of the Brazilian team's latest call-up.

There were still a few loons advocating us bringing him back here as recently as last summer iirc

Was it this lot??

Despicable if true.

On a related note: the last part of the last sentence takes a turn, doesn’t it?

Our new owners didn’t just come in & spend money, they chose the best executive team, created a culture, set the vision & have delivered. We started n a far lower base than what they did, a base so low that noone believed it was possible achieve.

what was it money cant buy success nope but hard work right people pulling in same direction can achive anything

The story I linked is about how disgraceful it is that he's been called up for the national team despite these allegations, so I think that's why it's there.
