The FIRST TIME MANURE women play at The Swamp gets a column inch in the DT this morning. Anything, that has a MANUre label is deemed to be pertinent to the joy of nations. Next week there will be two column inches and the world will hold its collective breath to be informed that the grass has grown since the last game.

PS: Does Casey know that her girls will have to wear wellies?

And cover up the cameras Giggs installed in their dressing room.

The rag PR machine go into overdrive when we’re in the CL and they are not.
They’re hurting like fcuk.

My understanding is that some of those comments, posed as fan commentary, are actually made up by the staff in order to get the propaganda in.

This is certainly the case with the fake profile "Alex from Yatton" which has posted borderline racist comments about our owner in the BBC match day coverage. I understand this person has not been in the BBC team that long. The problem with the BBC Salford operation is that some of its staff are too arrogant. These trolls will be found out and will lose their jobs. The BBC is under a lot of internal pressure from the top to clean up its act these days.

Whatever girl was the analyst, it took her less than 10 seconds to mention City and money

Didn’t listen to the halftime bit prematch or afters just the comma, they were giggling their heads off about how good we were.

Silly Sally gave more time to and was more excited about United's women's team playing at Old Toilet.

Never any mention of other clubs spending. Net spend (just in case anyone is after Liverpool's title) last 3 years

Villa £230m (in only 2 seasons)
Fulham £144m
City £204m
United £235m
Spurs £160m
Chelsea £183m
Liverpool £133m
Arsenal £221m

We are hardly blowing away other teams in the transfer market!

Am going to put this all over the HYS on last night, thanks.

My footballing mates are made up of three types.
1. Dippers.
2. Rags.
3. Everyone else who hates either dippers,rags or both.
1&2 always bring up the money card without fail so I have found if I agree with them and follow up with the question " with such a massive fan base and loved all over the world, I don't understand why you aren't doing the same?.
Not one can give a worthwhile answer and don't seem to use it as often with me anymore.

Man Utd have been doing the same.

I wonder how many of the Dipper and Rags fans are part of the cancel culture (LOL) and always playing the victim despite their fortune football supporter wise that many decent supporters of clubs like Wolves and Sunderland etc would wish only the dregs of.

Some time ago, I emailed The Independent about Michael Delaney’s continual racist comments about our owners and club. I’ve received the following response & would like any info I could include in my reply:
