Düzlükte pili bitmez yavaşlamaz, Drs'si ve bataryası yoktur, aktif aeroya sahip değildir.Oluklu lastiklere sahip olmasına rağmen 22 yıl önce 2026 pole pozisyonundan yaklaşık iki saniye daha hızlı tur atarak pole'ü almıştı kral ve F2004.Şu turu izlerken cidden zevk aldım. Ses, görüntü, aracın virajlardaki akıcılığı ve kralın ustalığı hepsi birarada.Cidden müthiş #F1 #BahrainGP #KeepFightingMichael

This is brilliant @umirf1 👏

You can visibly see Pep's hostility to reporters softens as he gets a question that actually makes sense to his tactical mind.

And that fact Umir is talking to his hero.

Well done mate.

Mathijs de Ligt appreciation post. Made his Netherlands debut at 17, captained Ajax at 18, won title. Rated so highly as a defender that Juventus paid £67m for him at 19, won title, Bayern Munich paid £65m for him, won title. Mistakes at Juventus and injuries at Bayern slowed trajectory of his career. Manchester United paid £38m and he’s finally showing his undoubted quality this season, his Ajax quality, his physical presence and leadership, his tackling, intercepting, clearing and passing. Another big performance #MUNCHE #MUFC

When the Boss (Sir Alex) walks in & interrupts your recording… wait till the end when his phone rings 😂

Even after 12 years, we still can’t find the courage to tell him off!!

Virgil Van Dijk is telling 26-year-old Arnold that he should not be chasing his dreams after giving everything to the club and that there is no other place than Anfield.

It is the same Virgil who refused to play for #Saintsfc so he can “chase” his dream.

Hypocrite.

Nieve Petruzziello (@StuntPegg) is 24 years old. I want to add the disclaimer that I like her football analysis. With that said, she was 2 years old when Cristiano Ronaldo signed for Manchester United.

She was six when he won his first Premier League title, had 37 G/A & finished 2nd in the Ballon d'Or, was seven when he won his first Champions League, had 50 G/A & won the Ballon d'Or & was eight when he had 38 G/A & won a third straight PL title & 2nd in the Ballon d'Or.

Point being - how can you comment with any expertise on an era you weren't even 10 years old to experience?

The strength of this man, the love for his daughter, and the way he still lives for her

I’d be an absolute trainwreck

To overcome insurmountable grief with immeasurable love

To fiercely celebrate Xana

So just over two years in my dream job came to an end today as I became one of the statistics you’ve been reading about in the press associated with United.

For those two years I loved every day of being able to work at Old Trafford, I loved the immense privilege despite it being such a difficult time in our history, hoping that I could help from within to contribute something positive.

I’m beyond proud of my work outside of United, the kind reviews of my books and perception of me as a writer. To be described as the pre-eminent writer on the club by Martin Edwards, to have Tony Whelan say I have ‘no peers when it comes to articulating the nature and essence of our magnificent football club’ are not tributes I use to be boastful, but are compliments I’m incredibly, incredibly proud of, as they represent something I’ve worked extremely hard for. 

That outside reputation earned the trust of some of the club’s most beloved families, as well as that of the family of Tom Tyrrell, who entrusted me with his archive. I was able to use some of that to create some fascinating content for the club, including podcasts to mark the 66th anniversary of Munich and the 25th anniversary of the Treble, which were both very warmly received.

I was also trusted to conduct a one-man investigation to discover the foundation date of the club, which I accomplished. The club did not know of this beforehand. It is one of the most important pieces of information in the club’s history and I’m very proud that it was my research and investigation which discovered it. 

I am proud that I worked on the campaign that saw former players awarded winners’ medals in 2023. I also conceived a legacy project to record interviews with elder figures at Old Trafford for archival use for future generations, and worked on important in-house academy projects. 

And I have immense pride that copies of my books have been given to young academy players, as well as sit inside the walls of Old Trafford on the director’s corridors. 

To see these things with my own eyes has been an indulgence I cannot describe.

Obviously, I am heartbroken that my contribution is no longer of value to the club I love.

I understand that difficult decisions have to be made. I have seen very talented people leave their roles, and I have seen legendary figures who are drenched in the history of our club been told they too are now part of the past; a past which is, for me, the richest history in football, a past which these people remain a significant part of the tapestry and educational process for the future. They are indispensible; the cost of losing them far greater than financial.

I read all the comments on social media from those on the outside, who speak about the necessity of these decisions.

People make jokes and comments, but we are talking about people working for the club, mostly because they love the club. It’s the biggest club in the country, possibly the world, and every loss I’ve seen and experienced has been significant to the operations. Every loss has been felt. 

These are real people, real lives, being affected - not because of the quality of their performance or contribution. They work incredibly hard and feel, like I have done, a sense of gratitude and privilege and a dream coming true. There are people having to deliver terrible news which wasn’t their decision to make. A football club is not a normal business. It is a community asset, serving different needs. It is it’s history. 

Anyway.

So today I leave the club I love, hoping that one day, they will need me again, and that I’ll be back, my tiny little cog in the big machine, my sense of grandoise not lost on me with the self-importance of this post. 

I’m by no means an important loss, but it’s an important loss to me.

You cannot be a healthy, successful football club without creating the conditions for people to buy into your idea and them wanting to embark on the journey together.

You certainly can’t if there is animosity, apprehension, fear, and an absence of goodwill.

If there is no bond with the supporters, no sense of belonging or appreciation for staff, and a lack of understanding that what happens off the pitch will colour what happens on it, you will be married to a cycle of misery and failure.

No-one would argue that Manchester United need to make more financially responsible decisions and their workforce was severely bloated in comparison to rivals.

The cold way of implementing their ‘transformation plan,’ however, is eroding togetherness, leading to a situation with “morale at its lowest,” which as Ruben Amorim admitted “affects the environment.”

A loss of love, of pride, of experience. The £66 flat ticket rate for members, doing away with concessions, and the threat of price hikes will also see the loss of loyal fans that have still supported a team delivering a season of record lows. It has been players, past and present, that have shown a caring touch and have tried to go out of their way, even financially, to cure some of the cost-cutting decisions.

You cannot be a healthy, successful football club if you continue to mask the fact that the greatest problems have been the ownership of the Glazers, the interest cost of their leveraged buyout (over £1 billion), plus the ridiculously poor recruitment and general football decisions under their watch, which have continued thus far under INEOS.

The Jamie Vardy experience (37 years old with no preseason):

• Downs a can of red bull before the second half
• Scores the equaliser against Spurs (earned his team a point)
• Reminds them that he has 1 PL title and they have 0
• Tells Romero to f off
