🚨I understand season ticket holders are scared of losing their seats if they stop attending. That's a genuine concern. But fans can STILL walk out at half-time, stop buying merchandise and hit the Glazers and INEOS where it REALLY hurts — THEIR POCKETS. We saw fans holding a “STANDARDS” banner against Bournemouth, but do you honestly think these owners lose a second of sleep over banners?! Protests mean NOTHING without real action. As long as the money keeps rolling in, they have little reason to change. I'm genuinely SICK of watching this club fall apart while the people responsible face ZERO consequences. We can't keep demanding change without doing something to FORCE it. It's absolutely HEARTBREAKING what Manchester United have become. 💔 #MUFC #GlazersOUT #IneosOUT

Manchester United had the best trio in the Premier League. How did things get this bad? 😭

Genuinely really happy for him ♥️ An unbelievable professional and probably the best passer of the ball of any forward I've ever seen. And that's before any of the crazy goalscoring numbers.
😙🌕 Harry Kane, the first English player to win the Ballon d’Or since Michael Owen in 2001 — 25 years later, in London. English players who won the Ballon d’Or: Stanley Matthews, Bobby Charlton, Kevin Keegan (x2), Michael Owen, Harry Kane.

🚨 The Old Trafford chants today towards the Glazers: “You can stick your new stadium up your arse” “Stand up, if you hate the Glazers” “Sell United and fu*k off home”

He's such a little gimp. He's like the teachers pet at school.
🚨 Mikel Arteta: “I'm going to put sensors on the touchline! There are managers that have the record in the league, 36 times in 10 minutes, leave the touchline… and no yellows”. “So I'm clipping ALL of that. So I have a massive storage of images now”.

Hahahahaha I knew this was gonna go viral. I saw it happen and I turned to my wife and said that is gonna be hilarious on social media later. So good 🤣🤣
Jerked by the Villains 💦😂😂😂😂

I miss this but I also miss playing against people who are trying to figure everything out for themselves. Everyone has access to content creators and AI/models telling them what to do now. Just makes the game infinitely less enjoyable. There's no independent thought anymore.
I miss FPL when there was a genuinely captaincy conundrum between Aguero, Kane & Salah. Teams would be split wide open opting for 2 premiums. Judging by how it’s gone so far, it’s only Haaland, Erling & Braut.

FC27 isn't a bad game, it's the players who bend over for the meta that make the game unejoyable and boring. Don't think I've played a single rivals game today that hasn't included Adayemi, Stanway, Kika, Lopez, Garcia and the other usual suspects #FC27

Terrible seat design in a terrible stadium… And it’s not only the seats… the roof continually leaks too - hence all the empty seats on display today. Built a brand new stadium that’s already obsolete and falling down within 2 decades 😂
Never noticed this wonderful seat design before @Arsenal

What Emery has done With Aston Villa is remarkable after being asset stripped by the red cartel. No doubt it will happen again this summer because of current Premier League rules. Either way Emery is the best manager in the league no doubt.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Manchester City FC have taken more players from Aston Villa in the last 5 years than any of Manchester United, Liverpool or Arsenal. transfermarkt.com

Expecting a difficult couple of GWs. Injuries to Saka and DCL have messed up my plans. Really didn't want the hit but didn't feel I had much of a choice. 73k OR to start, expecting a red unless JP smashes and Haaland blanks. Good luck all!

Absolutely no idea why he's not given a chance. Bizarre
🚨🚨🗣️ Diego León’s agent Renato Bittar: “If there isn’t a plan to break into the first team between December and January, we’ll look for a way OUT for him. A LOAN somewhere where he can compete, get playing time, and return to Manchester. “The Championship is an OPTION, as are other European leagues, but we don’t want to leave here. He’s performing well with the U21 team, he’s training well, and his physical condition is excellent.” #MUFC [@ABCDeportes via @Sport_Witness]

I picked a very bad week to risk an early transfer 😔 Hit might have to be taken with Saka and DCL injury news.

Harry Kane might be the best passer of the football I've ever seen other than maybe KDB. 3 absolutely perfect insane passes in this first half. The assist is crazy.

FUCK ME. HALLELUJAH. He's actually said something I agree with. Fair play
🚨 Michael Carrick: “I’m here to say sorry to the fans. The performance was not just bad, it was UNACCEPTABLE”.

🚨 Bruno Fernandes: “It was the decision of the staff to not go man-for-man tonight”.

Tbh, if I was INEOS or Michael Carrick, or the Glazers, any of them, and I had an ounce of self-respect, I'd walk out the club myself. It's absolutely pathetic & embarrassing. How on earth can you stay? With things as bad as they are.
