Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I 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 :-). 000
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Yes I read that thought the same. Clearly a push puff piece - poor by the bbc journo involved 030
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Delighted 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 000
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Spot 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. 000
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Yes. I love him. If you can and don’t, follow Nick Harris @sportingintel.bsky.social here and on Substack. 110
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Ruthless. Love it. I’m yet to read the entire thing admittedly but I’ve seen screenshots. Will do tomorrow. 110
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 29/09/2026And what of brand Abu Dhabi? What’s the halo sports-washing equivalent of The Streisand Effect? 000
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Ha! 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. 010
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Exactly. 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. 120
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Wonder 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. 010
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Genuinely a big part in this I suspect. Maybe not Burnham personally but UKG mood for sure. 000
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 29/09/2026100% happy with any delay if it means the grounds to appeal tighten further. That’s the PL play and I have to say chapeau 020
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 29/09/2026City 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?! 000
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Been having this chat just now. Yes he did. Always been that guy, Pep. 060
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 25/09/2026ANY time I see that on TV it chokes my goat. To this day fs 100
Reposted by Chips-in-a-bapLiam Thorp @liamthorp.bsky.social · 23/09/2026So 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? 1929567
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 22/09/2026This is some of the worst I’ve ever seen. Enough! Arrest them, charge them, process them, try them, jail them. All of them. 000
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Yeah 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 · 20/09/2026Football 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. 100
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Reds 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. 000
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I’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 · 20/09/2026He’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. 000
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I just don’t know what makes you hate an RNLI volunteer. How could any human hate that? I just do not get it. 121
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Agree. 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. 010
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Shit 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. 000
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 16/09/2026He’s been kicked black and blue all half and the ref has missed them all 120
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Jamie Redknapp was an amazingly average footballer. As a pundit he’s simply a dick. 110
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Red Issue was utterly barbarically funny about that whole thing. 100
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Eh 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”? 110
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I 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. 200
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 15/09/2026The 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 · 15/09/2026Who 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
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Mad sub that mate - Cunha was really poor again today 000
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 13/09/2026100% agree - it’s not as if Cunha has been in undroppable form this season. 010
Chips-in-a-bap @chipsinabap.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I was joking about Rangers but thought that was Corinthians. So consider me amused, and now informed! 010
