I remember paying 50p a letter for ‘Kanchelskis’ on my shirt. United to the core, Glazers Out since ’05.
I talk football here, and make football culture content elsewhere as @MikeUnitedFC.

What the actual fuck is this, and how is it normalised?? Disgusting.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

That forward line of Park, Malard and Rolfo is class

What a finish from Melvine Malard! 🔥 ⚽

Not been too active here lately. And United's form has started improving. Coincidence?? 🤔

Hope you've all been keeping well!

Cunha just gets it, doesn't he? 😍

So Garnacho scored his first Chelsea goal and they still lost?

So very, very gutted for him.

My word if Bruno MEANT that leave, then wow, that's 4D chess level of awareness. Get in!!!
October 25, 2025 at 6:26 PM
Zirkzee needed to be ALL over that one 🤦🏻‍♂️
October 25, 2025 at 6:21 PM
I mean, never a foul from Dorgu. But fair play Danny Welbeck 👏🏻 Great strike.
October 25, 2025 at 6:04 PM
United aren't "back" and I refuse to be drawn into resting on any laurels when we've been so poor for so long.

But that off the ball work. That forward synergy. So refreshing to see when it works.

You'd take a draw at Anfield, wouldn't you? But jeez ... if we could pull off a win here
October 19, 2025 at 5:27 PM
I mean, that's a peach from Mbeumo!
Refuse to be anything other than cautious though. How can you be??

Match day.

The hopes are mid. The expectations are zero.

What will be, will be.

It's only a game, right? 😩

If he persists with the formation, at LEAST switch the personnel. There's a better balance Ruben could strike with the players he's got.

Let's do this.

Some fans are losing all faith in Ruben Amorím after the 3-1 defeat at Brentford.

Is he really United's worst-ever manager? Is it his fault?

It's multi-faceted, and far too nuanced to simplify that much. But something has to change.

Well, Leicester-Wrexham was a LOT shorter on quality than I expected!!

Wrexham fought hard for the point. But Leicester were just crap.

Amazing away support from the Wrexham fans though.

Off to see Leicester-Wrexham at the King Power tonight, managed to get tickets.

Always find the King Power a decent stadium with vocal home support. I'm just curious to see two teams with very different recent histories playing each other!

Nick Woltemade is a great player. Love his style.

I've just recorded a clip on Dele Alli for my channel. Pretty sensitive issue right? Not exactly straightforward.

Straight away, he's called a millionaire "melt" in the comments. Like, really??

Fucking hell.

Footballers ain't coin-operated machines. I hate people in this country at times.
September 28, 2025 at 8:24 PM
I keep trying to record a measured, nuanced reaction to the mess at United, and Amorím's future.

I'm finding it really hard to say what I want to say, with the right amount of nuance and balance, while also without hyperbole.

Will mull over it for a couple more days.

What's your thoughts now?
September 28, 2025 at 8:17 PM
I dunno. Maybe a relegation is the reset we need. I'm at a loss how we move forward at all from here 🤷🏻‍♂️

The cycle we're in is shit.
Sacking managers is shit.
Sticking with this system is shit.

Seriously depressing. I try not to care, but I can't.
September 27, 2025 at 6:11 PM
It's crap making him wait for the pen but Bruno has to do better.
And how that wasn't denial of a goal scoring opportunity, I'll never know
September 27, 2025 at 1:16 PM
Watching Brentford-United is making me feel sick 🤢 And that's just the Ref Cam.
September 27, 2025 at 12:32 PM
Well that was a hard watch.

Brentford happy with the ball being punted in the air.

United being outfought every second ball and knock-down. And then with the ball, sloppy in the pass.

Scrappy and disjointed, with a defensive lapse never far away 🫣
