Manchester United fan & ageing former Stretford Ender. Match going days largely over, confined to critics armchair. Former blogger. Got plenty to say about the club and how it has been ruined by the Glazer family. Fair warning: No clickbait tolerated.

I’ve seen 18 Manchester United managers during my time following the club. #manutd
United are looking for a fifth consecutive away win against Wolves later today. I haven’t been to Molineux since 1976 when United came back from 2 nil down to win 3-2

Happy Christmas to everyone. Please get in touch with your loved ones especially those who might be living on their own. Fyi, my wife got up early today, we have a foolproof ‘cook-in-the-bag’ Turkey crown, she’s managed to incinerate it! 1st time she’s cooked one on her own! (If I had done that!)…

I can’t see Utd getting more than a draw in the derby. Hope we can get three points but City will be very hungry and ready to rewrite the current narrative that they are finished. #mufc

Utd have drawn Arsenal away in the FA Cup, they will be favourites in that tie for obvious reasons. We’ve enjoyed FA cup success over the Gunners and endured disappointment too. Utd played Arsenal twice in 1999 in the semi final, I was at both games with my son, epic is a good description. #mufc

It was last March when I last saw Utd play Everton on one of my rare visits to Old Trafford (see my profile photos). I stopped going in 2005 (that year should resonate with Utd fans). The score that day was 2-0, but Everton
had their chances early on in the game. On Sunday post Ten Hag, Utd won 4-0

United four points behind City & whisper it quietly, we have a superior GD. I need to lie die down I think. #mufc

Just looked at Utd’s fixture list and it feels like we’ve just hit a bit of form at the right time with Arsenal, Forest, City, Newcastle & Liverpool on the horizon. Bring it on, but we’ll need our ‘A game’ for certain. #mufc.

My football lexicon of words (& phrases & things) I dislike: presser, elite-coach, subbed-off, low-block, XG, VAR, video-review. Feel free to add your personal dislikes. #mufc

Another Everton story (I’m spoiling you today). Some pals of mine travelled to Goodison Park in the 70s. They were 14 or 15 at that time. They ended up in the Gwladys St End, they had to be escorted out of that end by the cops.

@shattenstone.bsky.social will City win today? I can’t see it… a draw is the best you can hope for imo, then again Forest beat Liverpool unexpectedly..

Utd play Everton today at Old Trafford. I recall Utd losing 4-0 at home to Forest in the 70s. Next game on Boxing Day, we travelled to Goodison Park and won 6-2. A Lou Macari strike was hit so hard it bounced back out of the rigging & hit George Wood on the back of his head. #mufc

Can anyone define “the Utd way” of playing? My definition: moving the ball quickly, two wingers who are quick & skilful. The team plays with passion that matches the fans own passion. The players must be willing to sacrifice themselves to the Utd cause. #mufc

Obi Martin signs his first professional contract at Manchester United.

I always try to be cautiously optimistic when Utd appoint a new manager; I have seen 19 Man Utd managers come and go. Ruben Amorim seems to be a nice guy with a vision of how he wants his teams to play, good luck to him. Utd vs the Tractor Boys on Sunday will be interesting. #mufc #amorim

@shattenstone.bsky.social hi Simon, I thought I best join you here as Musk has ruined Twitter. The PL vote today should be interesting!
