Jusr what is this supposed to mean?

Online headlines are now written not to inform, engage or entertain the reader.
Instead they are slaves to something called SEO or “Search engine optimisation”
This is an attempt to game the system by hitting the sweet spot of the Google search algorithm, so that your own article appears above those of your rivals in a Google search.
So they have crammed in Haaland, transfer, Liverpool and City.
The placement of individual words in a headline also affects the algorithm.
That is why so many online headlines like the one above are essentially war crimes against grammar.
But who cares about our native language? It’s all about the clicks and the ad revenue

Can anyone confirm that Neville did actually say what is claimed about our sponsorships? All I can see is other idiots quoting him online without any links to his musings.

I've looked through all his tweets of the last 2 weeks and can't see anything. Has he said it as part of his The Overlap Live Fan Debate ? Watched the first 15 minutes (out of 90) and it's all United and questions about United.

@Citizen Green Your post shows how dangerous fake news is and how, the more it is repeated, the more it is accepted.

It was Bambis mum

Interesting question:

Would anyone debate that our reputation has been damaged by the constant, unabated media onslaught since the Der Speigel leaks in 2018? And would it be any better if we had taken an aggressive, defensive stance with legal action?

I think it would be even worse, & when you look at it like that, City’s approach starts to make more sense imo.

Yes but l wonder at times if we appear be a soft target for journos, particularly the WhatsApp gang and generally there is a confident air for the Hateful Eight even to approach a court to try and get some benefit?
Also the hard of thinking often hold the opinion 'They don't deny it, they must be guilty'. Even if completely wrong in law, it helps build a tsunami against us.
I believe that a single well chosen action would make the rest think twice perhaps an injunction
as libel and malicious falsehood actions take ages even without logjams caused by Covid.

Thanks for That. I knew SEO existed but not how it created gobbledygook. God help us.

Someone else said it was The Overlap but I've never listened to one and couldn't tell you which one it would be. I suspect that the moron who Tweeted his supposed comments may have slightly twisted what he said.
