Why sport though? I don't get it. I've got up this morning and gone into work. So have millions of others. Shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs, are all open as usual. But we're singling out sport to be canned? Why? Do they legitimately just want everyone moping around miserable?
If you don't regularly go to Man United games I don't get how you get annoyed about transfers. Man United is a television show to you. Sit back and watch your tele show. What's the big deal? Imagine getting angry at Coronation Street.
Serving time for this is a disgrace. Couldn't care less what your view on his cause is, putting someone away for a harmless protest is a scandal. Ruined his life. For what? What a joke.
Absolutely love when everyone's trying to calm the situation down and then Rafael comes steaming in heating it up again. I loved that barmy little bastard.

You're the man Alex. Keep telling Piers what's what. He has the stench of a man who has gone too long without being robustly challenged on his repugnant behaviour. You're totally in the right.
Boris Johnson's advisors: "Tell people the first thing you'll do is go to the pub. They'll lap it up. What a character."
Boris: "Surely not, they won't fall for that."
Advisors: "They definitely will. 100%. Gullible idiots."
Boris: "I'm going to go to the pub."
Gripper:
Until Lingard and Rashford start turning in regular world class performances they must dress how middle aged, balding Twitter football fans want them to. Otherwise, just who do they think they are?!
That bald fella literally walked from the side of the fence that the United fans were on, to the other side, where he proceeded to pretend he wanted to fight. Laughable.
English football fans are too busy telling each other "your support is shit" to recognise that pretty much every ground in the country has a crap atmosphere. Liv probably worst for it. If everyone accepted it - and focused on the reasons why - something might actually change.
🗣 "Give your ticket to somebody else".
Jurgen Klopp said he was "not overly happy" with the atmosphere at Anfield during Liverpool's 5-1 EFL Cup win over West Ham. 😬

Any need to post this? A few likes and a handful of retweets for a video of bloke minding his own business and enjoying himself. But what are the repercussions of plastering this on socials? I'd assume he wouldn't want people seeing this. Leave it out.
Can we all just agree that criticism of the
#europeansuperleague
isn't automatically an endorsement of UEFA, FIFA, Champions League, Premier League, the FA, Sky, BT etc, so we can concentrate on the issue at hand rather than pointless whataboutery?
That would be great, cheers.
Honestly, if we manage to avert climate crisis it will be taught in schools how the state locked up brave young men campaigning to save the planet. Children will learn how backwards we were in 2022. Crazy stuff.
If you want nurses to be paid more and feel as passionate about it as you're making out on twitter, don't vote Tory. Vote for a party that will give them a pay rise.
And don't attack low paid service industry workers for demanding a pay rise. Because the things aren't linked.
State of football fans. Absolute dregs. How can football (and specifically success in football) be so all-consuming in your life that you actively cheer for your club to be taken over by literally some of the worst people in the world?
All jokes aside it is truly pathetic.
Mason Mount:
1. Cost £60m out of a limited budget
2. Is only really 'OK' and should be a squad player in a team aiming for honours
3. Could've been signed for free this summer
4. Is permanently injured.
He was a bad signing in the first place, but he's rapidly become a disaster.
The worst thing about the Sunday Times exposé is that it will change nothing. Everyone who voted for him will continue to claim Boris is brilliant despite the fact that he is bone idle, selfish, and entirely unfit to be Prime Minister.
You can have all the followers you want, but when it comes comes to something meaningful, it doesn't matter. The lot who've been making all the noise about this protest live in a permanent online world. Their world is barely even real. Clicking buttons isn't protest. Pathetic.
We had a song that everyone knows, we can sing on repeat for ages, and gets everyone going. It was also good because unlike a lot of our songs it didn't mention our rivals. It was just about us. Then we had to go chuck in a completely unnecessary reference to Scousers. Obsessed.
Mad how we could have all just carried on as normal and most people wouldn't have cared, but David Cameron went and called a referendum and now it's the biggest issue ever.
Qatar's offer was (a) worse than INEOS, (b) non-compliant, and (c) lacking any proof that their funds even existed.
Man, some of you lot on here must feel like pure idiots.
Fascinating and juicy detail revealed on the

sale process. 'Bidder A' (Sheikh Jassim) formally withdrew on October 15, 2023. Qatar bid consistently failed to provide "customary financing commitment letters" throughout and there is no mention of pledged investment. Several
They brought on Noble just to take the penalty. All the Hammers who'd left early came sprinting back in just to see their hero miss the kick. Then they all walked out again 😂. Oh and Lingard scored the winner 😭. Sometimes football matches just pan out perfectly. Glorious.
That voice recording has knocked me sick. Greenwood has knocked me sick. And United make me sick and all, as I assume the club knew all about it. Imagine that poor girl watching him turn out for us every week after what she'd suffered. Grim.
Good to see United flexing their muscles again. About time small clubs like Newcastle got back to the serious business of getting bullied by the big boys.
🚨 Exclusive: Agreement between Man Utd & Newcastle for Dan Ashworth expected to be reached as early as next week
✍️ MUFC preparing formal approach and, as long as compensation agreed, resolution is likely to be swift

Jose was sacked because after 17 league games we were 11 points off 4th with a negative goal difference. The football was shite, we were struggling to beat the shittest teams and his poisonous personality had made everyone at the club miserable.
Not because Pogba said so.
There's reds on here who spend a weird amount of time criticising Bruno. He's quality. Comfortably our best player, and always working hard. If he's a problem, he's so far at the bottom of the pile of problems that it doesn't warrant mentioning. A proper United player.
I really hope all those Qatari takeover cheerleaders - including match-going fans who held up Qatar flags at games - feel thoroughly embarrassed. You hitched your wagon to something/someone you knew NOTHING about and it turns out they were a bunch of hillbillies. Lol @ you all.
Leeds have waited 16 years to play at OT again in the league and what a momentum occasion for them. Got twatted in town, poor away end, got smashed 5-1. I suppose they can comfort themselves with their lovely football.
Lots upset about this in the replies but I'm on board with it. Pubs are trying to run businesses in extremely difficult conditions. Sport is shown to entice punters in. People drinking one coke for 2 hours taking up seats that could be used by proper customers impacts them.
The economics of showing football in pubs is insane, costing landlords a small fortune.
This is the Perseverance, a lovely little boozer on London’s Broadway Market.
I know there's a lot of (generally older) folk who shit on reds idiolsing Ronaldo. Fact is, for a supporter of a certain age, he encapsulates the best period we had following Utd. He's our Best, Robson, Keane etc. You make a lot of valid points, but you'll not stop this feeling.
Ok, we've stopped small boats. Now what? Mortgage rates are still bankrupting people. Young people can't afford houses. Rents are sky high. Energy bills are triple what they were. NHS is fucked. There's daily strikes. The trains don't run. When they do they cost a fortune.
I know it's easier for those of us familiar with Bashy, but I can't work out how so many people have watched that video and don't get it's a joke. Fucking hell.
@seanbgoneill
Quick tip: if you simply refresh the page, then cancel the refresh before it completes, you can read any article on their site. Ridiculous really, but it works.
What's the best objectively good policy Labour could announce that people would still shit on?
Like, I reckon if Corbyn said "we've got a cure for cancer, but we're going to have to tax the rich to fund it on the NHS", you'd have gobshites LRAC losing their shit over communism.
As most people know I love pubs and pub culture. But it's sad that the older gent dressing up in a suit to go down the boozer is very close to dying out. Inevitable but sad. Love seeing them old Gs dress up proper for the pub.
This is exactly why I cut Bruno so much slack when it comes to ball retention. He can be very frustrating, but he's always trying to make things happen and he takes risks. I'm not sure anyone else in the team even attempts this pass.
Man United at home to Rochdale. A game that anyone could get a ticket for if they could be bothered. Tonight truly sets apart proper match going fans from those tele watchers who don't care enough to go. I'll be there later with my new flag I'm picking up later.
Seriously though, it is a complete joke that supporters who've been to dross home games like Sheriff Tiraspol and Omonoia are stuck in a queue battling it out with plastics for Barca. Priority applications needed.
Lol @ people who don't go to games excited about Ronaldo's return. You dont know what it's like to watch him run past you on the wing. You don't know what it's like to be part of a whole stadium singing his name. You know nothing. Jog on. Leave it to us proper fans. Viva Ronaldo.
Multimillionaire Joss Stone sat in her home in the Bahamas talking about the secret to happiness and telling us how lucky the UK is that Boris is single handedly saving the arts. Jesus christ. Have a word
@GMB
Mad how English commentators will wax lyrical about European atmospheres, completely ignoring the countless flares in the crowd. But if an English fan so much as sets of a solitary smoke bomb they're branded "stupid idiots endangering lives" by the same folk.
Gonna be ace on here when we lose to Spurs and a load of cranks use it as evidence that we shouldn't have sacked the man who had us 11 points of 4th by December in his third season, having alienated everyone at the club and who had clearly entered self-destruct mode. Oh joy.
@GaryLineker
Gary - our owners have taken £1.5bn *out* of the club since they took over. Simply by removing them we'd have loads more money to spend. We haven't benefitted a penny from their ownership.
Personally think it would be tremendous if we could make it so Tommy Robinsin can't go anywhere in this country without having a milkshake thrown over him.
I've honestly thought I was going mad with the way people have been using this clear foul as evidence of a pro-Man United refereeing conspiracy. What is the controversy here?
Jake Humphrey is so lacking in any obvious talent or charisma that he's as surprised as the rest of us he's got where he has in his career. He's trying to make sense of it and has concluded it's all about 5am starts, positive energy, and manifestation. Really it's just luck.
Whoever asked the question messed up by saying 'plastic' because the response focused on that rather than the actual point. Pricing out people who are from the communities for whom these clubs were founded and whose support has been passed down generations is a huge concern.
🗣️ "I'm probably plastic and touristy because I was coming from the other side of the world really passionate about football"
Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou hits out at accusations the club are pricing out local fans in place of so-called "plastic fans" from abroad ⚪🏟️
What sort of club announces something like this on Xmas Eve? We will be releasing a full statement and year in review next week.
Nothing changes unless we have a full removal of Glazer ownership from every foundation of our club.
I think we can all agree that the best thing about that result is the knowledge that MikeLUHG will be spending his evening cry wanking over Mourinho whilst fantasising about Jose's famous three fingers being inserted up his anus.
Honestly, it was funny when they did this. It was a good wind-up from them. But it's even funnier that only a few weeks later they're all crying about their own yank owners.
Lost a few games, have we?
I've got my own views on Pogba but don't care that people hate him. If they want to boo him then fair enough. Above all else, though, if you boo a player, then don't be up in arms when you get a reaction. It should be expected. You're all a collection of little fannies.
Piers Morgan is scum. Legitimately a terrible person. If you follow him, or retweet him occasionally because "sometimes he makes good points", think on your encouragement of a vile human being.
How hilarious to hear pundits say "nah not a foul they both got there at the same time" days after being adamant that Lindelof's challenge was a "clear and obvious error".
Pissing myself at the mental gymnastics of that well known Palace account celebrating Vieira's kick when he regularly cries about us celebrating Cantona's.
