If only these media outlets and so called journalists would do their homework before they open their mouths.
They obviously see our name and instantly go into toddler tantrum mode.

I saw quotes from this Kantar survey a week or two ago.
The survey also reckons LFC have 700million fans and Arsenal 600million.
So that’s about a third of worlds population supporting the red teams.
If they add Barca and Real into the mix I’m sure they would get the point where every living human aged 1 day to 100 years supports those 5 teams !
Absolute garbage
Political polling of 1000 people isn't meaningless - the maths shows that's a reasonable number to ask if you want to know what the whole population thinks.
So long as they make sure the sample is representative of the whole population (approx right number of women/men, geographic balance, education, income etc.), then it can be mathematically proved that it's pretty accurate. 1000 is chosen, because it costs money to ask people, and that's pretty much the sweet spot, for cost v. accuracy. Asking 10,000 or 100,000 is only a little more accurate, but much more expensive.
The United polling on the other hand is unmitigated bollocks. Pretty sure it counted anyone who has any interest in watching a United match - so we'd be included on Derby day!

When they conducted the first survey among the questions asked to just a few thousand people was "Do you ever watch Manchester United's games on TV?" Anybody that said they did was classed as a "follower" despite most of them not being rags but neutral football fans who simply watch football on TV. When the results were given to the rags they immediately changed the word "follower" to "supporter" and extrapolated the ridiculous figure of them having 659 million supporters worldwide.
Typical rag spin and bullshit.

I've just listened to a fuckin' clueless rag waffle on about how Liverpool's league cup will mean more than us winning a double treble! What a fuckin' scouse arse rimming idiot! He trotted out the 'Citeh are a manufactured club' bollocks with no history.
He probably doesn't know how Littlewoods bankrolled Liverpool from mid table 2nd division obscurity in the 60s, and he's probably unaware that United's fortunes changed from milking the Munich tragedy and evicting several players from club housing after being injured in the crash. And he probably doesn't know about the scandal of former chairman Louis Edwards selling rotting meat to schools, or his pervert son Martin Edwards setting up spy cameras in the clubs female toilets.
Fortunately a knowledgeable decent blue told Jeff Stelling that City's (alleged) charges haven't been answered yet is due to the complexity of it all. Talksport know that because Stefan Borson was on the other week explaining these charges for about 40 minutes whilst that twat faced ignorant **** Simon Jordan kept butting in because he always thinks he knows best. Pity he didn't have any foresight before becoming chairman of Crystal Palace because he would have saved blowing 40M and spent some of it on cosmetic sugary to transform his rubber Spitting Image face into something decent looking.

The City caller was brilliant, if he comes on here, very well done!
Graduated at Dublin University so 99% a Dipper or Rag, no in depth investigation of the charges and just a list of FA Punishment’s. Also, no date for the hearing as it’s confidential, she’s a chancer, another click bait hack with an obvious agenda.

I listened to that! He described Arsenal as "Nice little Timmy who the mums cheer for but never wins the school sports day egg and spoon race"

I switched of these muppets long ago. The much bigger squad crap is indicative of the low level of informative journalism in the ranks of most media outlets currently. They should be asking the obvious question as to why we have the Best squad almost every season and examining the reasons for this. This of course would require a bit more effort and importantly would most likely be above the heads of the legions of morons who listen on a regular basis. So much easier and more lucrative to Talkshite.

The Rags have turned on the Forest fan.
As a lifelong supporter of Manchester United, I have witnessed the unity and camaraderie that once defined our fanbase gradually erode into division and toxicity. Much of this negativity can be attributed to The United Stand, a YouTube channel that has gained notoriety for its abusive remarks towards our players. This toxic behavior is not only damaging to the morale of our players but also fosters an environment of hostility within the fan community.
The channel's host, Mark Goldbridge, has profited immensely from promoting this division among fans. He's never given anything positive back to the club. It is important to remember that football is more than just a game or business; it's about respect and sportsmanship both on and off the field. Mark posses neither.
Manchester United has always stood against abuse in all its forms. It is time we extend this stance by cutting ties with platforms like The United Stand which promote such behavior. By revoking their press credentials, we send a clear message that abuse towards players will not be tolerated.
Furthermore, we urge Manchester United to condemn publicly any form of toxicity within its fanbase and foster an atmosphere where constructive criticism replaces mindless abuse. Fans want a positive approach towards players and the club - let us strive for unity rather than division.
Join us in calling upon Manchester United to take action against toxicity by revoking The United Stand's press credentials. Sign this petition today!
Toxicity and mindless abuse?How about this you mardaxse bxstards.
Like to see the questions that were asked? Was it "have watched a rag game"? I have watched a rag game! Rags be paying these companies who ask these questions so they can show it to the sponsors they go after

He was but Stelling soon ushered him off air because he didn't like or agree with what the blue said. Talksport don't like anyone trying to change their guilty as sin narrative on these 115 charges.

- “When journalists are given a platform for their opinions, it comes with the quid pro quo that what they write is to be founded on fact and reasoned argument.”
and the 1000 people asked were probably in Euston station on a Saturday evening around 10 pm!

Standards are slipping there's no how and Madrid stop City articles about yet for tomorrow.
The bbc do have a fluff piece on that promising youngster Jessie over in Korea though.

It’s amazing what the bbc will do to keep that club or anything associated with it relevant.

It’s quite clever from the media and it sort of portrays an image that they are still challenging for trophies when in reality they aren’t really relevant..
