Part of me thinks this should have its own thread "Give it to Goldbridge" alongside how long Ten Bob will last.

An empty vessel makes the most noise.

What’s particularly good about how bad Antony is, in so many ways, is that ten Bob had already managed him so knew what sort of player/man he was and still spunked over £80m on him

Antony should be arrested.

Watching him play is abuse enough.

Makes a lot of money from distant rags but never attends the swamp.

AS the old song went...
"He's up Mother Brown
He's up Mother Brown
Tommy, Tommy Docherty...."

Not forgetting....

He shot his cum
All over Mary's bum
Tommy Doc, Tommy Doc....

It’s very possible he knew about the accusations against him too.

If they sink any further into the abyss that is football obscurity, I don't think they'd ever fully recover and come bouncing back. At this particular time in the rags' history they currently have neither the character or resilience to surmount the numerous obstacles that would stand in their way.
For me, they have always been a facade, a pretence of a club. Newspaper headlines are more important than the actual football itself. The ultimate 'glamour' club. All Hollywood tinsel and glitter, but absolutely no substance. Signing players who are not necessarily the type they need, but players who are guaranteed to keep the club in the limelight.
The one single player who -for me- sums up the whole persona of that club is Beckscum. A player of extraordinarily limited ability who always seemed to play with one eye on the nearest camera lens on the side of the pitch. This is a man who married the LEAST talented of the Spice Girls (believe me, I have heard the raw tapes of her 'vocals' without Autotune or any other effects, trying hilariously to record 'Happy Birthday' to Tony Blair - a Marylin Monroe/JF Kennedy parody. Utterly fucking excruciating).
But they are two peas in a pod. They are both of them extremely shallow and superficial human beings, glossy surface but nothing beneath it.
And it's this pair of publicity-hungry wannabe's that fuelled the rags through most of the 90's. Beckscum, although having nothing to offer except free-kicks and penalties, brought the masses through the gates. And by the time he had that perfumed-scarecrow dangling from his overly-tattooed arm, and the paparazzi constantly on their tails, the rot had set in and the rags have been more about media savvy than football since

To sum up, all fur coat and no knickers.

What a shocking attempt to paint Greenwood as the victim.

“Last month, United decided that Mason Greenwood could not play for the club again even though he denied allegations of attempted rape and assault, and the Crown Prosecution Service dropped all charges in February.“

Goldbridge the Frank Spencer of the internet, a figure of fun to laugh at , he has a wonderful nack of putting his size twelve down his throat on a regular basis …


My favourite still is his Goooo City just before Gundo put pay to the treble busters .

What the actual fuck is this?
This can’t possibly be real
Even that dickhead goldbridge wouldn’t put himself through that.
It’s like a sketch from not the nine o’clock news.

Makes you wonder if it was a Negouai or Vouso type of transfer...

Funnier still, the rags agreed a +£60m transfer fee with Ajax, then put it aside to pursue FDJ all summer to be rebuffed, then went back to Ajax who then demanded over £80m for him and they pathetically relented.

To be fair, decent players regularly go to United and become dross. Long may it continue.

I'd have expected nothing less from this puerile oaf. A combination of David Brent and Alan Partridge with all the charisma of a pot-hole on the M20.

Why does this dull, irrelevant man even get subscribers?

I must admit that I find his childlike reactions to Utd conceding a goal, or numerous goals lol, quite entertaining when they are posted on BM. Other than that he really is a pathetic little twerp.

Here’s hoping something big is coming out of that closet very very soon …

Don't think anyone would care that much if Luke Shaw is gay

First. He gets subscribers because City fans (and football fans from other teams) keep posting his you tube stuff. We are his best advert.
Second. You mention David Brent and Alan Partridge to deride him and yet you are actually giving him a huge compliment. Both are great actors who spent hours perfecting those characters. Do you think Brent Cesare or whatever he was called when he was a copper acted like that ?
4 years ago he was in a bed sit in Nottingham listening to Forest getting beat.
Now he is on Talkshite, guest spots on sky, worth a million and laughing at every daft rag that subscribes to his rehearsed watch alongs.
I'd hate it if the rags became successful but I tell you what, so would he.
