City benefiting from a red card, just like they did at Old Trafford...

Gav Roberts @gavroberts.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I'm glad to see the decision to stick with just the one striker who was known to managing a tricky injury isn't backfiring at all. A bold and brave decision by the owners to invest the money in their pockets instead. It's really paying dividends on the pitch. Also, full backs.

Surely got to get Baleba on for Tielemans here. And maybe pass to a team mate once or twice. And get the ball out wide. And give the player on the ball a bit of support. And just remember how to play football, I suppose. That'd be nice.

10,000 new homes unlocked. By stepping in where councils have refused planning permission, we're accelerating housebuilding across the capital. We’re using every power available to tackle London’s housing crisis and get homes built.

It's been a long day and I'm pretty tired, but what does "help us get out the vote" mean?

When they talk about reducing red tape, remember this image.

Zirkzee scored for the Netherlands? No surprise there - any club would be lucky to have him and they should be lining up to sign him in January. He'd be a bargain, no mistake about it. They'd crazy not to snap him up... ... ... ... ...please...?

Man City's argument is that its owner was not secretly funding the club with disguised sponsorship payments because the money came from the government of Abu Dhabi, rather than from the notional owner of the club, the brother of the ruler of Abu Dhabi, who is also a vice president of the UAE.

Manchester City cheated Premier League rules, the Commission found. Did it also cheat HMRC? We've examined the decision and leaked Mancini documents. We think City likely failed to pay £12m in tax. There should be a criminal investigation. Thread:

Man City have shown zero remorse and are still belittling the legal process. Hard to see how they can expect any leniency.

As was touched on by @iaindowie.bsky.social, the lack of anger towards the City ownership from fans is a little surprising. Maybe it’s because they’re still absorbing it, but the majority of what I’ve seen so far is just banal comments about how ‘nobody can take away the memories’.

See, it was actually only 114 breaches after all that, not 115. Hardly a big deal.

Unfortunately Gary, it wasn't even their worst 15 minutes this week. Go and do another podcast about remembering things with your equally boring mates.

Gav Roberts @gavroberts.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Yeah, United were rubbish but that doesn't mean Fulham deserved to win. A draw is probably about right.

Gav Roberts @gavroberts.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Thank fuck for that, it's the international break...

Gav Roberts @gavroberts.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Obviously United haven't been great, but losing still would've been unfair - good to get the equaliser, not convinced they've got it in them to push for a winner though.

Can't give handball for that, he's about 2 foot away and it would've hit his chest anyway.

Gav Roberts @gavroberts.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Zirkzee on. Look out Fulham, you're in trouble now.

Gav Roberts @gavroberts.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Phew, for a moment there I thought our defenders weren't goimg to do anything hilariously shit. Martinez had other plans...

010

Gav Roberts @gavroberts.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I'd much rather play Mbeumo through the middle than Cunha - stick Lacey on for Rashford and move them round so we've got Cunha and Lacey out wide.

010

Gav Roberts @gavroberts.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

The defence looks like 4 individuals all doing their own thing. No sense of them working together as a unit, or having any kind of awareness of each other.

Gav Roberts @gavroberts.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Can anyone get a message out to United's full backs? Not sure they understand what wingers are or where they can traditionally be found on a football pitch. Acres of space to cross on one side, acres of space to shoot on the other. Doesn't matter who's on the pitch, it's always the same.

If they ever decide to remake keystone cops, that's the audition tape sorted for half our team...

Gav Roberts @gavroberts.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Shocking how they just completely stop playing when they get the lead, then have no idea how to start again.

030

Gav Roberts @gavroberts.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I definitely don't want to go back to that formation, I just don't like any of our full backs...

010

Gav Roberts @gavroberts.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

No, credit to Brighton, they didn't need to cheat to win - they just waited for United to gift them all the goals. Which they did, in some style.

Gav Roberts @gavroberts.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Looking at this squad, maybe Amorim was onto something when he decided to play without full backs...

030

Gav Roberts @gavroberts.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Not really arsed about being out of the Carabao, obviously, but these performances are just appalling time after time. All over the place. Can't press, can't pass. No urgency, no fight, no idea what to do when they take the lead. Shambles top to bottom.

020

Gav Roberts @gavroberts.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Never seen anyone so determined to blindly charge 60 yards out to try to close the ball down. What's he thinking?

110

Gav Roberts @gavroberts.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Remember that time United didn't sign a striker and ended up playing Zirkzee up front? Crazy days.

010

Gav Roberts @gavroberts.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

No worries with Yoro, but ideally they both need someone experienced next to them...

Gav Roberts @gavroberts.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Oops, forgot to defend again...

110

Gav Roberts @gavroberts.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

The complacency that kicks in with these players runs through the whole squad. Spent 20 minutes messing up pass after pass, being second to every loose ball, and giving the ball away softly. Not sure how many wake up calls they need before they actually wake up. Can't sit back after half time now.

110

Gav Roberts @gavroberts.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Properly poor defending from Heaven, not the first time tonight. United have let Brighton back in by constantly giving the ball away, like they've been doing all season.

Gav Roberts @gavroberts.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

And another one! Well done Mason Mount...

Gav Roberts @gavroberts.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Happy to see some rotation, good for players like Santos, Mount, Yoro, Heaven and Lacey to get a start.

Yeah, I thought the same thing - recognise the source but no idea if it's true or just a rumour being reported...
