Given we are bad against 11 players and worse against 10,I'm willing to try playing against 12 players vs Atletico...😅

red202024.bsky.social @red202024.bsky.social · 9h

Nope. After that, particularly the first 30 mins when Utd should have been 2 or 3 behind,booing is absolutely justified.I'm behind Carrick totally,but that was another f*cking bag o'shite.Needs much improvement and fast.

I would be surprised if the owners didn't sell up after this.Then who wants to invest in a club & business so tarnished? It would be like trying to sell a car after it has failed an MOT for being a cut & shut of 2 cars welded together,after it has become a global news story everyone knows about

City have made too many enemies.Fans,clubs,owners,PL,FA,UEFA,even HMRC all have good cause to throw not just the book but the entire library at them.Denials & an appeal make it worse for them.They are proper fucked imo.Relegation many leagues & stripping of titles fucked.Fraud & HMRC charges fucked

Not just tarnished the PL but the FA Cup, League Cup and CL too, as their cheating affected these too. I would be more angry if I was a Stoke fan for example,robbed of probably their 1 chance in a lifetime of winning a major trophy.As it is,I just hope & believe the punishment will fit the crime

If you are a City fan there is one plus from this. You are going to have the best stadium in all the divisions between League 1 and the National League North in the next few years. Let's just hope you can fill it in those leagues, even though it wasn't full for CL or PL games in the 'glory' years

red202024.bsky.social @red202024.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

It's going to be way more than a transfer ban & i can't see Haaland or any other 1st team squad player staying in League 1 or below, so that theory makes no sense.City are proper fucked & their financial clout has just evaporated in a puff of smoke.The bubble has spectacularly burst on them

1 of those pics shows fans behind bars in cages,something that partly caused 97 people to die at Hillsboro.Violence,racism,monkey chants were rife & far right NF thugs openly recruited at grounds.My Dad understandably wouldn't take me to footy as a kid as a result.Great days or rose tinted glasses?

000

red202024.bsky.social @red202024.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

City's owners were invited & feted, it wasn't a hostile takeover.They cheated in plain sight,that is obvious.So did Abramovich at Chelsea before and after FFP,again welcomed with open arms.'Foreigners' aren't the problem.Entitled rich pricks are,wherever they are from.No foreigners=No Cantona etc

red202024.bsky.social @red202024.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

You know how some City fans go on about being there in 1998-99 when City were playing Colchester or Macclesfield in Div 2? Here's hoping they get to relive those days again soon 😂

red202024.bsky.social @red202024.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

As far as I can tell they are as guilty as a puppy sitting next to a pile of poo

red202024.bsky.social @red202024.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

The only way either team would score was via an og, deflection or penalty,2/3 happened. The only tiny positives were we didn't lose, no one(even Shaw) seemed to get injured & Baleba was fit enough to be on bench. Other than that, it was a f*cking bag o'shite

000

red202024.bsky.social @red202024.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

It was dreadful, tepid stuff from both teams. My annual pre-season optimism has vanished already within a month. Frankly I am glad of the international break & I never thought that would happen. At least I can put my frustration with Utd to the back of my mind in a few days & not be reminded of it

020

red202024.bsky.social @red202024.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Yeah,psychologically it always feels worse when conceding in the last few seconds

021

red202024.bsky.social @red202024.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Jesus, on the basis of that post I just got followed by an Arsenal fan account called "Arse radio". I always thought that was another name for Talk Sport, on account of the amount of shite that is emitted from it!😂

010

red202024.bsky.social @red202024.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

And as for Arsenal being interested or Utd even considering selling Marcus to them,it's like some bizarre fever dream the 'journalist' has had. I am sure with much transfer talk,the journalist picks a player name out of a hat, then a club, then a rumour & then writes a 'scoop' on that basis

100

red202024.bsky.social @red202024.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

I just read this on BBC Sport transfer gossip page... "Manchester United have not ruled out England forward Marcus Rashford leaving the club, with Arsenal & Barcelona monitoring the 28-year-old's situation. (Teamtalk)". Didn't Barca 'monitor' him last season on loan,before not making it permanent?

100

red202024.bsky.social @red202024.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

That's to be expected on social media really. Hyperbole amplified. Imagine the comments from many on Twitter right now, at least here is a relatively calm place in comparison! I am just glad I don't have kids, imagine growing up now in this society. What a time to be alive!

red202024.bsky.social @red202024.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

I'm also still reeling from being subjected to Status Quo at the full-time whistle.Was fuming already then they play that over the stadium PA. The sound of nails scratching a blackboard or babies crying would have been less unpleasant. Any club that plays Status Quo should have points deducted, imo!

red202024.bsky.social @red202024.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

It's the combination of anticipation & excitement pre-first game with the reality of that performance for me that makes it seem even worse, psychologically. I said in another post a few days ago that I was like a kid before Xmas, & can't help feel Santa left me a dog turd for my main present!

110

red202024.bsky.social @red202024.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

It's 1 game in August & 1 game in August never decides a season. The only trophies won in August are the Community Shield & UEFA Super Cup. So no need to panic, think Utd have done good transfer business & love Carrick to bits. It was a fucking awful performance though & needs improvement quickly

100

red202024.bsky.social @red202024.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Am so pissed off with that.Absolutely diabolical. Losing is one thing, but to be totally outplayed by a newly promoted team,to not once trouble their gk or defence is shocking.Hearing Status Quo,the worst band ever, over the tannoy at full time is just salt in the fucking wound!!!

Yeah, he does seem a bit of a c*nt with some very weird opinions to say the least, but so were Picasso, Wagner, Hitchcock, Disney, even Gandhi had some very mysoginistic/dodgy practices & horrendous racist views about black people in South Africa. A lot of talented people are c*nts in many ways

As a man in my 50's, these past few days before a new footy season are the closest I get to feeling like a kid before Christmas again. Let's hope the football Santa gives me a great present on Saturday. U.N.I. - T.E.D. United are the team for me...

red202024.bsky.social @red202024.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

Absolutely. Results in friendlies are totally meaningless. I'm even happy Bruno missed 2 pens this week. He has to miss some & better now in friendlies than in last minute versus Liverpool in league,for example

red202024.bsky.social @red202024.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

I didn't understand why this initially got so much coverage either, given other newsworthy major global problems such as wars, climate crisis & much of Europe burning etc. A tragic example of how media culture, speculation, rumour & vitriol can have the most awful consequences on a human being. RIP

red202024.bsky.social @red202024.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Jose Mourinho would definitely count that as a proper trophy...lol

red202024.bsky.social @red202024.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

A front line of Sesko, Mbuemo, Rashford with Cunha & Fernandes & young talent like Lacey has real threat and potential for me, a great mix of pace & guile in my opinion, with Sesko also providing aerial ability

010

red202024.bsky.social @red202024.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

Personally I would be more than happy if Rashford returns to the fold after his time elsewhere, if he has a manager who believes in him. I so want Marcus to consistently perform as he is capable at Utd. On top form he is worth the wages. Hoping it is like Sparky after his sojourn at Barca back then

I have huge respect for Harry, primarily for the way he responded to some prolonged awful form about 4 years or so ago prior to West Ham wanting him. Showed real strength of character for me to stick it out and respond with performances since

Undoubtedly the best, most significant & influential GK(in terms of physical & psychological stature,unique attributes & crucial astonishing saves leading to trophies). His revolutionary long throw outs, 'starfish' posture when 1 on 1, dominant/winning mentality make him best GK ever in my lifetime

red202024.bsky.social @red202024.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

Not a fan of Spain's football, it reminds me of what used to be said about Germany, ruthlessly efficient but dull & without flair. However, apart from Messi and Lucha,Argentina are so often a dirty team without class or dignity, am so glad they lost. They play like the Germans in 'Escape to Victory'

In an alternate universe, it was. But in that universe something weird was the norm too, like dinosaurs were still living & eating people daily, apes ruled the earth, or time went backwards or something. Swings and roundabouts, it is what it is lol

Possibly the worst game I have seen since the Italia 90 final. On the plus side, let's hope it puts the Americans off football. As for the half time show abomination, Rooney hit the nail on the head when he said "It was crap".

Tuchel's tactics/subs after England scored were awful. Exactly the opposite of what was needed. Now Mainoo will probably get a run out in the 3rd place game, utterly pointless taking him & not playing him at all, even when Rice was sick. No progress since Southgate,England choked by fear of winning

110

red202024.bsky.social @red202024.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

So reminiscent of the Euro final vs Italy. Scored first then were like a rabbit in headlights, waiting for the inevitable car crash

But what other thing in life, other than marriage or the birth of a child can create such tension,excitement,thrills & chills as football? It is utterly irrational yet totally magical.I woke up this morning with butterflies in my stomach for todays game.Nothing else like football,warts and all

red202024.bsky.social @red202024.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

I get that the modern game has a lot of problems and there is a lot to dislike & despise,but let's not look back through rose tinted glasses to some halcyon time when football was idyllic. That is the kind of nonsense Farage peddles

Fair enough.I do remember football in the 80's though.I was 4 in 1980,& that decade my Dad would rarely take me to games due to the risk of violence,hooliganism & horrific racism,aside being penned in like animals which resulted in Hillsboro.When the NF recruited on the terraces. Happy days?

Am loving it too, after all it is the World Cup. Not sure 'resting in peace' can be associated with watching England in tournament football though,it's way too stressful whether you are living or passed on. And I am not nearly as passionate about England as I am about Utd! All the best mate 👍
