I’m glad we’re doing our business under the radar rather than have a shite ‘sports’ reporter publishing rumours like they do for those cunts

I agree. But I find it offensive that a publicly-funded broadcasting company is allowed to show so much preference for that one club. You expect it from Sly Sports and some of the others, profit margins and all that. But we are penalised if we don't pay the license fee - no choice, pay it...or else!
Personally I don't pay the license fee, nor will I ever. But people are struggling to make ends meet, bills to pay, mouths to feed, and the TV is the only bit of comfort available to them. And uber cunts like Slimey are being paid a handsome wage packet to go and follow his favorite club whenever and wherever they are playing. The BBC are causing viewers to switch off in their droves because of their partisanship (Is that a word? I can't be arsed to look it up, too busy sniggering at the women's football).

Yes, partisanship is definitely a word.

If you actually think about it, he's right, they are a brand, unfortunately for them they are nothing else. They are no more or less an average PL club it's just that more of the world know about them.
Bovril is a brand, insignificant in it's own little way but we've all heard about it and know what it is.

hmmm not sure about this, most of his goals have come against Ipswich Southamption, Leceister, Spurs and Wolves some of the worst defences the PL has ever seen

Chuck in West Ham and those six teams had the worst defences in the PL last season. Scored 11 against those teams in 12 games, 9 in 26 against the rest. I suppose though, scoring against your relegation rivals might come in handy if he signs for the rags

This really is the top and bottom of it as far as I'm concerned.

There is a very important distinction that needs to be made between brand and success. People just assume that the bigger the brand the more success that follows.

Not true. Ask someone to name a famous basketball team and they'll say "The Lakers". But the Lakers are pretty much finished on the court.

Debenham's were once a huge brand in the high street but now they're trying to reinvent themselves online.

Just because millions of people across the world have heard of the rags doesn't mean they're successful or indeed any good.

Bovril is amazing though.

United are more of a Marmite type brand. It's rank and only fucking weirdos like it.
 
Sky Sports kissing the Rags arse again...

"Fernandes wants to play at the "Highest Level" as he turns down move to Saudi.

What a load of bullshit. If he wanted to play at the highest level then he wouldn't be staying at the Rags.

No European Football and finishing 15th in the Premier League isn't exactly "highest level".

Why don't they change the narrative when it comes to Bryan Mbuemo? "Why is Mbuemo taking a step down from the "higest level"...Mbuemo would be taking a step down by leaving Brentford which is facts by the way, Brentford are better than the Rags so he'd be joining a team worse off.

Nothing will ever change when it comes to those scruffy cunts.Screenshot_20250603_210654_Sky Sports.jpg

Bovril is not insignificant.

It’s been a very important part of my life.

An interesting point is that United look like they are only buying from fellow PL teams.
Taking decent players from position rivals is a well worn path by United over the years.
Ferguson did it repeatedly… except with Liverpool… odd that… and Liverpool never bought from United (or arsenal).

What pisses me off is how the bbc (Could have been Sky), through Simon Stone, have weaved a positive narrative around that shite.
Basically their best player wants to leave a failing United, for lots of money, to the Middle East, a place they currently hate.

Thats been turned into, how Fernandez wouldnt leave utd for any amount of money, Amorin is in control, Its not utds fault in fact they tried to keep him! One big love in where everyone wins. They should write scripts.
