my takeaway: Anthony Taylor's voice would go through you

ake- bullshit framing cunts

onana- bullshit framing cunts, more concerned with booking aggrieved manager cunts, normal collision fucking cunts

sharing these vids really isn't making much of a case for var adding value to the refereeing process

Onanana
It's the way that we rock when we're doing our thing (fouling forwards)

FUGFC

its notable how confusingly stupid their mic set up is

can they really not find a.better system than all squawking over each other

imagine if they had VAR for any patient that died on operating table in an ER and these guys were doing the narration

Think that's it for today

Bloody hell

just dysfunctional on every level. is there even any part of the club that works anymore other than the mechanisms for sucking money out of it?

there's an element to me of -not to defend this, pls understand - "this could be any club in the epl and beyond" and united while architects of their own handling of each have been also unfortunate

arsenal, city, spurs, everton all also have high profile players that have been corporately/strategically defended to pick a random term for sexual/domestic assault allegations and im only going from memory and recent memory at that

you could say football/epl has a problem, you could say corporate sport or corporate strategy has a problem and i think youd be closer to it than focusing on the utter fucking balls united have made around this issue ever since re-signing ronaldo (or should i bring giggs into it here even? not sure what the club treatment of that issue was)

by which i mean to say in my middle para that the media and legal structures that epl can buy seem to have protected those clubs to an insane degree but uniteds players have all gone unignorably viral or public where the other cases havent to the same extent (or mayb not with three separate cases, tbf)

agree with all of that

Seems bizarre that there hasn’t been a move towards something similar to the MLB domestic violence policy that takes some of the decisions out of the hands of the clubs, enables sanctions in the absence of criminal convictions and has an education/ training / psychological intervention element for all players as a preventative measure.

That doesn't seem bizarre to me at all tbh.

enables sanctions in the absence of criminal convictions

sports clubs not the only structures that really dont have a standard approach here, not even in the very public sphere

is ex mail journo neil ashton still running pr at man utd btw?

americans presumably

Not sure how accurate this is

777's Clubs since they've taken over:

🇦🇺 Melbourne Victory: Yikes. Last season they managed 28 points from 26 games. Lucky there's no relegation in Aussie Football.

🇮🇹 Genoa: Relegated from Serie A in first season of ownership, went straight back up are so far are not…

An update in the comments says Vasco and Sevilla are currently in the relegation zones of their respective leagues.

777 Partners is an American private investment company based in Miami.

well ofc

brexit endgame going to plan eh

can they be much worse than Moshiri tho?

what better way to give your 20 year old CB his first Prem start than against the Wolves' attack?

BOOM

Neto's back baby

Cunha take those clown shoes off

really shd've finished that half more than the 1 goal up

that's an incredibly restrained analysis should be three minimum

i'm trying to manage my all purpose anxiety which is aggravated enough whenever i watch us

i can only recommend appointing ange postecoglou as manager sorry if that doesnt help

great futuristic half-mullet from Matt Doherty here

the same half mullet fucked us against the dutch so tbh....

fuck sake

i know, i know

got the 2+ goals and the Salah assist, if Jota had managed one shot on target before getting subbed I'd be £110 richer. I need to stop doing these stupid fucking bets!

delighted for you :|
