🧵 Below is a selection of results from the post-Fergie era. I’ve largely kept games against bigger clubs out of this (bar the odd humiliation) as I, like many, don’t expect us to win every week. I do however think we should be beating a large proportion of these sides. Yesterday wasn’t surprising…

I’m not sure paying £86m and making him the most expensive teenager in PL history can be classed as ‘finding’. You can certainly buy a gem but let’s not pretend he’s been unearthed.

Why don’t we spend some money fixing an obvious weakness that is directly impacting performances, which might boost results, which might improve league and cup finishes, which might generate more money, rather than waiting another year to fix it?

Bit of fun…How we feeling about Saturday?
Screenshot that includes the wording:

We're going to come away with a hard-fought but deserved win this weekend.
The defence will be sturdy and we'll control the game, with intricate patterns leading to a number of chances. We'll work as hard to win the ball back as we do when we attack and we'll feel uplifted going into the Ipswich game.Screenshot with the wording:

We're going to get McBurnie'd this Saturday. A stodgy, pass, pass, pass, with little threat up top approach with either an undercooked Sesko up top or no recognised forward at all. Maguire will get into a tussle with McBurnie, concede a penalty, leading to a disappointing loss or draw.

I get that this is a bit ‘old man shouts at cloud’ and there’ll be another one next year to render this one as insignificant as the last, but just feel this one in particular illustrates what football is now (well…has been for a long time). Surrounded by money, sponsorship, greed.
