The number of people who think this is "sensible" politics and don't understand why it's a massive uncrossable red line for millions of Labour's supposed core constituency continues to blow my mind. All the minor percentage shifts in NHS waiting lists will never make up for this nativist cruelty.
Under Starmer, recognised refugees can no longer reunite with their children.

Recognised refugees.

Denied the right to reunite with their children.

It’s diabolical. Worse than anything the Tories did. & no, the racists are not & never will be satisfied.

So yes, he’s hated.
What these “but why do people hate Starmer SO MUCH” takes come down to is so shallow.

Starmer doesn’t sound or look like a firebrand so what’s the big deal?

Immune to questions of SUBSTANCE - he’s liar, enabled a genocide, pandered to anti-migrant politics & global Fascism.

Nunoball isn't inherently a "low block", it's hell on Earth
Football love buzzwords and one of them is "low block," which naturally got (incorrectly attributed to West Ham last night

A low block does what it sounds. They drop deep, concede territory, and get stubborn close to goal

West Ham defended all the way up the pitch. There were no easy yards for Utd

A thing to remember about these people is they're *both* violent authoritarians *and* incredibly bad at basic stuff. It can be very hard to tell these apart, especially on the fly.
Politico and CNN both reporting that the closure was due poor communications about drone tests between FAA and DoD

the economic inequality of elite football has given us a false sense of the ability of tactics and systems to produce desired outcomes consistently

and now that the Premier League is the Super League we're seeing the limitations of any strategy in a game with this much damn randomness

As we got better at it, Amorim's Plan A was *fine*.

It was his abysmal game management and stubbornness in hard times that really did him for me.
2 goal involvements in 20 PL games for subs under Amorim

Assists for Heaven v Brighton & Zirkzee v Leeds

4 in 5 under Carrick

Cunha assist v City, Cunha goal v Arsenal & Sesko’s goals v Fulham & West Ham

That it took us that long to start putting crosses in was criminal

Ref has been abysmal on top of us being completely inept in the final third

Amad disasterclass tonight
February 10, 2026 at 10:00 PM
Worst attacking performance of the season, first time we haven't looked like a top side going forward.

Watch any game between United and Nuno's Wolves and it's the exact same thing.
February 10, 2026 at 9:47 PM
This team has forgotten you can play through balls
February 10, 2026 at 9:38 PM
The decision making in the final third tonight has been cowardly
February 10, 2026 at 9:33 PM
Anyone wanna play the ball in behind at all? Please?

Standard game vs Nuno. The manager who finds a way to make these games bearable can have the job for life
February 10, 2026 at 9:12 PM
Sesko needed, any sort of urgency in the final third needed.

Kobbie had to take that on alone there, not the 1-2

it really boils down to who do you hate more, rich sex abusers or the left, and I’m afraid that from Thatcher to Starmer we’ve been run by people for whom the answer to that question is “the left”
