Quick reality check: My club is being run by the Glazer family, Brexit Jim, and 2 former Man City crooks in Wilcox and Berrada.

Roy Keane on City players' success: "I'd 100% be chucking those medals in the bin." 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Joe Hart: I believe Man City chairman claims that club are innocent

Frankly, Joe Hart can fuck off. I expected better from him to be honest. Same goes for any City player, past or present, aligning themselves with the party line. Grow a pair and call it out for what it is. I dare you. I know what side of history I'd prefer to be on. www.espn.co.uk/football/sto...

Former Man City goalkeeper Joe Hart has said he trusts club chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak's claims that the club will "prove their innocence" despite the expectation they will be found guilty of the majority of breaches of Premier League financial rules.

I don't have a huge amount of sympathy for City fans in all this. Most have whom have deflected, denied and doubled down, standing by their owners. I'm sure there's an in-built instinct to defend your club. But in *any* situation? Really?

Love how Bluesky is totally knackered at the time when all I wanna do is read about - and comment on - those cheating bastards.

Kaldoon al Mubarak and the "irrefutable evidence" that will prove their innocence. Mate, it's already very much been refuted! 😂 Makes me wonder how bad it really is. How much of this is just surface-level? What else are they hiding? No smoke without fire. Can't fucking see for smoke at the minute.

Mike Barclay @mikeunited.co.uk · 17h

That Premier League statement about Manchester City is shocking. It always felt wrong, their spending. But you never want to sound like a bitter rival. Seeing those numbers though - almost £1bn in inflated contracts - wow. Expel the cheating bastards from the League. This can't ever be ok.

By far the highlight of my night has been seeing the beautiful Juan Mata. Love that man ♥️

How is it possible that watching England is even more excruciating than watching Manchester United?

Brighton have been absolutely ruthless today! Arsenal haven't been anywhere near good enough, but Hurzeler's got his team taking full advantage.

Tottenham's first PL goal is...a consolation OG?! 😂 Might well be. Hard to mock Spurs as a Manchester United fan. But wow, they've been so poor again.

Mike Barclay @mikeunited.co.uk · 16/09/2026

This is now, without doubt, another awful start to a season. By any metric. Lethargic, uninspiring, mentally fragile. It's hard to know where to start to rectify it.

Fuck JJ. The future is Shea. Protect this lad at all costs 🔴⚫

So JJ Gabriel is a wrong'un then? What a shame.

Mike Barclay @mikeunited.co.uk · 13/09/2026

Clear red for Foden, what a stupid thing to do in the age of VAR. Still, it guarantees nothing in a derby. I agree Bruno should've had a yellow. Game on 😬

Well this is becoming emphatic. We needed emphatic!! I know Ipswich's heads have clearly dropped, but still. We needed ruthlessness too, and here it is.

In fairness it's been a very good start to the second half. And that run and through ball from Mainoo for Cunha... beautiful. YANITED!

We're getting fucking ploughed by the tractors. Why do we keep becoming a meme? 🙄

August 25th 2026 The City Ground Nottingham Forest 0-2 Leeds United Carabao Cup 2nd Round Great game, Forest poor and very wasteful. Absolutely in love with this stadium. You could feel the history in all four corners.

I like Wayne Rooney, but that Stick to United podcast with Goldbridge is awful. No chemistry between the pair, meh opinions. Unwatchable.

Those baulking at a potential £65m fee for Carlos Baleba must be forgetting Brighton demanding more than £100m just a year ago. He was never a £100m player. But he's definitely a £50m-£60m player in this market, and on current form. If United can get him, that's a very balanced midfield. #mufc

Are we classing Marcus Rashford as a new signing this season? Be honest, we'd all got used to life without him. But, both the player and the club's circumstances have changed. Enough to make this a clean break from the past? I'm still not sure. A lot depends on Rashford himself.

A Villa and United fan chat Youri Tielemans; what Villa are losing, and what exactly United are gaining for a bargain £35m fee. He's a big game player, joining a team desperate for stars in midfield. Could he be an important piece of the United rebuild? 🤔 #tielemans #manutd #astonvilla #mufc

Thomas Tuchel's tactics were wrong. The heartbreaking semi-final defeat to Argentina ruined England's best chance at a trophy in a generation, and that's a difficult pill for fans to swallow - despite a 3rd place finish. #england #tuchel #worldcup #fifaworldcup #argentina @mikeunited.co.uk

What a disgrace the Argentina team is. Fuck them. Pieces of shit. They were outplayed by a vastly superior team. Reacting like that tells you everything you need to know about them. Got away with so much this tournament and now losing like this? Embarrassing.

We eulogised Cristiano and Messi for so long. I just wish they'd retired a few years ago. I hate what they've both become.

FIVE MINUTES added to a fifteen minute half??!

If I'm cheering on current and ex-City players Rodri, Ferran Torres, Laporte, as well as bloody Cucurella, then you must understand how deeply I hate Argentina.
