This graphic in a nutshell sums up the current issues at the club
Gundo at the 6 hasn't made since in the 2021 CL final and we're already in 2025!
It still doesn't make sense.. play a DM at DM. Hell call Perrone back from loan if Nico isn't trusted, he may not be Rodri but he's a DM!
This just illustrates our season when we have no midfield, we have no defense!

If its true that Cummings is setting up a new right wing political party, with Musks backing, then surely thats just going to split the loony right vote even further. If Badonoch manages to stay leader until the next election that will be 3 loony leaders for the right to choose from.

Bloody happy with that, kids looked great, no injury's, Neville will be fumin haha. Is that a winning streak we're on now, or am I being too optimistic?

Why are Sale (rugby union if you're confused) so pants in Europe? We punch above our weight in the Premiership, but almost every year we get smashed by, on paper, inferior clubs.

Why is the City kick off at 5:45??? Pisses me off, fuck the TV companies (although our US fans may prefer it)

Thought this was a Joy Division post
NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold.
We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940.
2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

Morning all, my mother, who is a Utd fan of nearly 80yrs, told me yesterday that she will be routing for City today. I think she's trying to be kind, either that or that dementia is kicking in haha. I hope we play a strong team and put 10 past those Salford rags. Feels a bit like a derby!

I love it when the decorations come down, house seems bigger, cleaner, fresher, less claustrophobic etc. Feel as though I can breath and relax. Just need the snow to piss off now!

Hard for me to say, but I am a pragmatist and I would prefer to see anyone win the league apart from Liverpool, and Utd have been decent (relatively speaking). I still fully expect Liverpool to win but you never know. It's a funny old game

Finally, even though we were still a bit shit. Positives - clean sheet, KDB 90 mins, McAtee comes on and made a difference, the big man finally scores and Savinho showing his potential. We still look leggy, sloppy and nervy though, so we still need improvements. Next up the transfer window.

Every time I hear this song it lives in my head for a week at least. It's a cover (obvs) but it's better than the original.
