United Thread | 2024/25

We just had our New Year’s Day swim here in Southern Spain, as always I wore my City onesie. I invited all the rag fans I know and saw today to a party in May, when they asked what the occasion was I said the rag relegation party. Most took it on the chin but one in particular was most dischuffed.
A fucking onesie........!!!!!
 
They won't be relegated. There's only one place realistically up for grabs and if they were in it, the powers that be would mysteriously magic up a suitable points deduction for some trumped up imaginary indiscretion in order to save their darlings.
I just hope it's not us replacing them.
Jesus christ. Grow a pair. We aren't going anywhere
 
The Newcastle Chronicle.

That is easier said than done. For context, last summer, Manchester United part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe warned how the Premier League 'need to be careful that the top-six clubs are not disadvantaged' in top-flight meetings. Really?!

This is the same Manchester United who, in November, spoke up in favour of changes to the APT rules introduced in the immediate aftermath of Newcastle's takeover. This is the same Manchester United who spent £364.7m on wages last season, which was nearly double Newcastle's salary bill when the Magpies qualified for the Champions League in 2023. This is the same Manchester United who poached Newcastle's sporting director, Dan Ashworth, after months of publicly moaning about the Magpies' 'silly' demands. This is the same Manchester United who made millions more than Newcastle on account of their historic coefficient - despite also exiting the Champions League group stages. This is the same Manchester United who were able to commit to potentially splurging more than £205m on transfer fees in a window where Newcastle failed to strengthen their squad and ended the summer in profit despite the club's owners' staggering wealth.

In a PSR world, if anyone had a theoretical advantage going into this season, it was Manchester United, whose huge commercial revenues dwarf Newcastle's overall turnover. Yet it said it all that Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim admitted that Newcastle 'were the better team' three times in as many minutes following his side's 2-0 defeat at Old Trafford on Monday night.
