[The perfect fumble]

Don’t underplay that though. The media love fest is actually a huge problem they’ve got and will ultimately destroy any manager they get, albeit inadvertently.
They win a few games and ’they’re back’, their players are ‘world class’, they lose a game and it’s ‘a blip’, even if it’s 6-3, 7-0, 4-0 or 3-0 away at Seville. Long May it continue….

You're right, a single decent result and the rags are on an upward trajectory, turning a corner, on their way back, coming good, "this is Manchester United", etc, etc...

They're buried under this bollocks and it's killing them.

Paul Scholes. “3-0 defeat will help Ten Haag as it shows him he needs new players”. Hargreaves, after conceding 5 over 2 legs against the 13th ranked team in Spain and numerous other shocking score lines, “they need a number 9”.
‘Martinez is a huge miss who’s world class’, apparently. Funnily enough they average more points and concede less, when he doesn’t play than when he does. Happily, the media have also declared him to be world class, so I’d imagine he untouchable, which is nice…

Brighton are a better side than Sevilla.

Sunday should be fun.

You’re not wrong there.
They’re a better side than the rags as well, so it should really be a foregone conclusion. Unless, of course, VAR have already decided…

He won the World Cup don’t you know… It’s only in the fine print where he was kept out of the side by the walking red card hacker at Spurs and our very own Otamendi. Who has to be 35 now?

If I was a betting man I’d put money on 3-1 to Brighton unless Howard Webb has his United kit on.

Yep, 35 and getting slower by the week. They’ve played twice in 2023 and he’s played in them both, ahead of Mr World Class centre half. Perhaps, he’s not all that??

Nice headline in the Daily Telegraph accompanied by a picture of City fans. On the same page a decent article about Keith Curle is laced with anti City bias such as 'Abu Dhabi era' and 'now City spend north of £300 million a year on wages alone'. They really are in knots about our success and the exact opposite of the rags and dippers. Spite just oozes out of them at every turn. Lovin' it!

They've turned every corner in Trafford and must be on their second lap at least.
