Not that I make a habit of watching his watchalong vids but I've noticed whenever he (pretends) to get irate and/or excited he adopts a voice just like Alan Partridge, presumably his wife has bollocked him for shouting loudly in his bedroom so he now does that thing where even when hes getting animated he sort of shouts and cheers but at a muted, low volume.

He has a wife?
 
If totally honest, i just hate hearing their fucking name as it is always immersed in bullshit and faux hype.

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

You can guarantee they'd monetise it. They'd wring ever ounce of publicity out of it. Rainbow flags with the club crest, rainbow flag over Old Toilet, alphabet mafia training for all youth players etc etc. They'd then go on some gay crusade as if it was still 1950s Britain, Peter Tatchell leading the team out and Ru Paul doing guest appearances all intended to deflect from the wife beating/paedophilia press they've been getting.

Let’s face it. :) The rags are a long, long way from becoming relevant. Look at us. Our owners took us over and had a cogent plan that would need time and money over a 10+ year period to get us where we are now. Attracting the right players with the right attitude to build a dream. It took huge investment at the right time and the right place (see our youth etc). The rags haven’t even put forward a plan yet and I haven’t seen them attracting the right kind of players yet either.

Funny as f..k to sit here on the side lines and watch them disappear.

I do believe he is married with kids.

I think a lot of the criticism for him is very misplaced, if he was a genuine united fan and he'd just sort of fallen into this then it would just be down to dumb luck... but the fact that he's not even a united fan but he's set out to create this whole persona and grown it into a very lucrative youtube channel with a huge number of subscribers shows that despite outward appearances he's actually really quite shrewd and savvy.

Is it wrong that I want to see these fuckers relegated in my lifetime?

I witnessed us win trophies, something I'd never thought would happen growing up and feel this is the next natural step.

Of course it isn’t wrong to want to see them relegated. Every City supporter should want the same.

Fortunately for me, I’m old enough to remember that wonderful day.

Unfortunately they are still relevant and it will always be thus. Look at the Dippers, one title in 30+ years and still massive.
