I am a real person. My workplace has a very strict real-name social media policy, so I use this. United fan and match goer, currently just occasional. New music. Cider bore. Probably a left(ish) world view.

I enjoy this feature every week. Reminds me that most people are okay, just with different views…social media is not real life. However, ‘been okay for 1000 years’…think Charles I and Oliver Cromwell might have a different perspective on that, lad :-).

Yes I read that thought the same. Clearly a push puff piece - poor by the bbc journo involved

Delighted that United don’t have any CEOs that were involved in those dodgy deals City did for years. Or indeed any Directors of Football that were involved in any transfers like that. You just know that’s where the media will be interested fs

Spot on. Or, it’s that they’d spend their way out of it until an alternative Euro league came along that they’d effectively control. The fight to bin that off in 2021 suddenly looks 100x more important than we knew at the time.

Yes. I love him. If you can and don’t, follow Nick Harris @sportingintel.bsky.social here and on Substack.

Ruthless. Love it. I’m yet to read the entire thing admittedly but I’ve seen screenshots. Will do tomorrow.

And what of brand Abu Dhabi? What’s the halo sports-washing equivalent of The Streisand Effect?

Ha! There are others though. You’d be fuming if you were a Manchester company and had your 10-yr ad board cost artificially inflated, because the suppliers owner fraudulently engineered that ‘demand’. What_a_mess this is going to be.

Exactly. And the Championship club owners won’t want them either because that will effectively reduce their chances of Premier League £££ income by 1/3 - City’ll eat up a promotion place straight away. Doubt the League 1 or 2 owners will be as choosy. Crazy, crazy stuff in any case.

Wonder what Newcastle fans think. I know loads. Lots of them wanted a bit of that City experience with their owners, even older, purist type, lads. They’ve dodged a bullet with Saudi getting bored or hamstrung by FFP. Wonder will they admit that to themselves.

Genuinely a big part in this I suspect. Maybe not Burnham personally but UKG mood for sure.

100% happy with any delay if it means the grounds to appeal tighten further. That’s the PL play and I have to say chapeau

City have had external investment relatively recently too, haven’t they? From American PE. Wonder what they make of all this. Never did I think I’d feel a morsel of empathy for predatory Delaware-based PE funds but here we are eh?!

So that guy who live streamed himself trying to drown someone by stabbing their boat with a knife and who has been continually blocking ports and intimidating communities with a band of masked thugs. He’s surely just going to be arrested right? Right?

This is some of the worst I’ve ever seen. Enough! Arrest them, charge them, process them, try them, jail them. All of them.

Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
Yeah exactly. They are interesting don’t get me wrong but using them in isolation isn’t always helpful. Football is just too fluid to be stats-driven IMO.
010
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
Football stats are generally nonsense. Running stats are idiot’s stuff. If you’re a CB with your midfield comfortably holding possession, does that mean the other team are fitter? Hungrier? More pressy? It’s very likely your km per 5400 is going to be low. Nonsense stuff.

Reds that was rank. Also, a point feels fucking good to be fair. Carrick needs to get out of this fug of picking only his most experienced players - too many of those are out of form.

I’d really like to see Shea Lacey here. There is some space down Fulham’s left side and i think he’d get something out of that.
021
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
He’s been so, so good in there again. I’m as unconvinced by Cunha as ever. No-one i’d rather see a lose ball fall to in the box, but there’s not much else there. United are on top here. Think we’ll win.

Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
Agree. He’ll be a player. Needs to learn from that on Weds mind: really poor. Think he will. Yoro isn’t perfect but he’s clearly getting better. I rate him as it happens. Be interesting to see how both lads look alongside good full backs. Yoro in particular is an intelligent defender.

Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
Shit that was x-rated Reds. So many poor performances. After United’s 2nd goal, they created nothing at all. Both left back and right back are the root of the problems this team has.

He’s been kicked black and blue all half and the ref has missed them all

Jamie Redknapp was an amazingly average footballer. As a pundit he’s simply a dick.

Eh yeah bar owner i should say. I 100% loved Rio mate. I understand why lads don’t. Leaving that aside, can you **imagine** current socials if the UK’s most expensive player missed a drug test after training because he erm “forgot”?

Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
I spoke to a bar in Barcelona city centre owner (sober, lunch) immediately after he left. He wasn’t really on the 1st team scene at United. I’d seen him once I think. He (and 2 other Bums beside me) could *not believe* United had let him go. So surprised. Not one United fan i knew gave a shit.

The only two truly generational talents I’ve personally seen are Giggs and then Rooney. Both were older than JJ is now. Maybe this kid will be better again than them, but 15yo is feckin young to be throwing a head up. Fifteen. As I say, who knows what was promised or not, or how it was said.
010
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
Who knows what’s happened or been said eh. At 15yo it’s mad to be expecting a 1st team spot (if that’s what has happened, IDK). But the very thought of him getting some time this season is enough to have this old Red buzzing a bit. Who’d be a manager?

100% agree - it’s not as if Cunha has been in undroppable form this season.
