rjb719.bsky.social @rjb719.bsky.social · 19hWho’s the next manager then you reckon? Pep’s available if United can get some sham agreements together 👀 100
rjb719.bsky.social @rjb719.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Yeah that’s what I mean, I think Gabriel made that point and what made me laugh was Tielemans’ face.. he wasn’t happy. I reckon he had words when he went back in 😬😂 020
rjb719.bsky.social @rjb719.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Tielemans didn’t look too impressed with Martinez’ quote put to him by Gabriel Clarke 😂😬😬 240

rjb719.bsky.social @rjb719.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Absolute lol at Clattenburg’s comms on the handball. ‘Needs to be deliberate as didn’t directly score goal should STAND’ … [ref called to the monitor] … ‘the question is does he gain an advantage and he has so this will be handball’ Jon Champion: ‘you called it right Mark’ Did he aye. 040
rjb719.bsky.social @rjb719.bsky.social · 13/10/2026No I told you it was a decent performance. (Very much one of those very stupid UEFA handballs, but United have been on the end of some shockers - Martinez against Sociedad at home a 3/4 seasons back for example - so fuck it). 030
rjb719.bsky.social @rjb719.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Probably being blinkered but those daft first 5 minutes aside I think this has been a decent Euro away performance tbh against a good side. Done enough to have at least equalised with some half decent finishing. 2110

rjb719.bsky.social @rjb719.bsky.social · 12/10/2026The bananas etc fair enoguh, pretty funny. That AI slop pro-Khaldoon banner yesterday though. Fucking hell. Said before but, they really are so far gone aren’t they now. I wonder what the owners would actually have to do for City fans to be remotely critical? 😵💫 050
rjb719.bsky.social @rjb719.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Mental that they always seem to still look more knackered than the oppo every game too. 020
rjb719.bsky.social @rjb719.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Also would been a fair sub, totally agree re Bruno. Whoever it was - really needed some pace on the break to finish the game off. 100
rjb719.bsky.social @rjb719.bsky.social · 10/10/2026A painfully thick team. And cowardly by Carrick not gambling with Rashford earlier imo given 1-0 up and Spurs chasing the game with ten. 270

rjb719.bsky.social @rjb719.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Ooof. The Commission explicitly decide City’s explanation of the Disguised Funding Scheme was ‘concocted’ after the event to ‘conceal and obscure’. Again in the legal judgment world - this type of language is about as damning as it gets. 120
rjb719.bsky.social @rjb719.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Any lawyer will tell you - the language used in this Decision is, within the legal sphere, as strong as it gets. ‘Sham’ and ‘disguised funding’ etc. They wouldn’t be so blunt if they’re weren’t very sure. City even systemically hid true origins of sponsorship £ from their own auditors and advisers. 110
rjb719.bsky.social @rjb719.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Ferran Soriano’s statement I’ve just seen. Jesus.
