Im baaaack.
I know you’ve all been dying to hear from me, given the thousands of messages I HAVENT got. Anyway..
I started this blog sometime last year because my specialty in life is moaning. People piss me off right and Man United proper wind me up. I’d moan about Woodward and his stupid round head. I’d moan about glazers and the fact they know more about the KFC herbs and spices than the offside rule. And I’d moan about Phil Jones because well it’s Phil Jones.
So here I am back and hopefully as the new season has now started ill be writing about how fecking amazing we are.
But no, I’m writing about the fact Harry Maguire turns round like he’s got a lump of lard in his shorts. The fact that the best thing about Victor Lindelof right now is the tattoos on his arm. Maybe if the mugger did a couple of stepovers he would have got away from him. At least that’s what Zaha did for christ sake after scoring two.
I joke right and it really frustrates me because as it goes Maguire and Lindelof are two players I genuinely like but their performance simply wasn’t good enough against Palace.
Yes I’ve singled them out but trust me the lot of them were dogpoo. I sat in the pub with a San Miguel and by the end of the game I was drinking JD and coke. Doubles and if I could have ordered triple I would. Jesus.
Personally though, why Greenwood and AWB didn’t start was a little baffling to me. The only thing I can think is they weren’t fully fit but the way the team played I don’t think any of them were. Lockdown hasn’t been the kindest to me and Im a bloke and I can feel my tits bouncing and even I was probably fitter than some of them.
You know what right the team played badly and I get they probably know that but we going to talk about the real route of the problem.
Obviously I am.. told you I moan, its what I do. Here we go (which annoyingly United fans haven’t read enough of over the transfer window ey Fabrizio?)
For fuck sake how many times do I write that the Glazers are dickheads. How many times do I have to write that Ed Woodward actually might be utter shite at his job.
Im genuinely starting to think that if Ed woodward went to buy a meal deal for 3 quid, he’d still try and negotiate and offer 2 quid plus Jesse Lingard.
ONE PLAYER MAN. How? Phil Jones, Pereira, Smalling all still at the club. In fact its even worse than that. Phil and Chris were given new 5 year deals in the last 20 months. How has he been allowed to oversee such shambolic decision making and negotiated such awful transfers in the last 7 years?
One answer: G-L-A-Z-E-R. The family that look like the Jehovahs witnesses that don’t leave you alone on the bus.
One billion taken out of the club. No investment in Old Trafford. 89 million pounds in divdends, all whilst paying themselves a hefty salary themselves. They haven’t invested any money into this club. Not one penny.
One signing. One.
33 points behind Liverpool in the league and we simply had to sign players to at least attempt to close the gap but no. This summer has spoken volumes quite frankly and I don’t want to hear the crony woodward say they care. They don’t.
Surely diligently acting in the best interest for the club sees better league positions, more prize money, attracts better sponsorship, keeps the fans happy so we spend more money and after all keeps us happy which is what football is all about.
Yes, I get were not bury or Macclesfield but were watching a great club being ripped apart and its shit. Proper shit.
You’ve heard my rants before about it and I feel like you’ll hear them again but how much longer can this carry on? What can we actually do to get them out? A fancy hashtag on twitter doesn’t do much so I genuinely don’t know what the answer is.
One thing ss for certain, we’ve all had enough. The fans deserve better. The players deserve better. Sir Matt Busby, Sir Bobby Charlton, Sir Alex, George Best, Marcus Rashford, Ryan Giggs. They all deserve better. OLE deserves better.
We need a football structure in place and we need players. Two weeks of the window and we act like about as organised a Teenager that hasn’t revised for an exam.
Back the manager, get behind the players and support the team. Just make sure your anger is going to the right place. The Glazers.
I write these as a joke, all in good faith and as a bit of a laugh towards the players but if the guy in the pub gets any angrier at the way the club is im genuinely worried his head might pop and I really don’t fancy his brains in my pint of Carlsberg. In fact, maybe I do, it might make it taste better.
I hope you’re all keeping safe during this tough year.
Look after yourselves.
Love from your favourite most pointless blogger ever.
