🚨🚨🗣️ Vitinha: “When Messi left PSG for Inter Miami, he said, ‘You’ll never win the UCL.’ Here we are today with back-to-back UCL trophies. I hope he’s watching.”
🚨 Paul Pogba on Cristiano Ronaldo during his darkest period :
“When the suspension news came out, my phone was full for two days… then suddenly, silence. People I thought were brothers disappeared. Agents stopped calling. Friends became busy. Football can make you feel loved… but it can also show you who’s real.”
“But one name I didn’t expect to hear from was Cristiano.”
“He didn’t call me to talk about football, training, or headlines. He asked me one thing… ‘How is your family? Are you okay mentally?’ That hit me differently.”
“A few days later he told me, ‘If you need anything anything for your family, your recovery, your life call me. Pride should never stop you from accepting help.’”
“At that moment, I wasn’t talking to Cristiano Ronaldo the superstar… I was talking to a man who understood pain, pressure, and loneliness.”
“I’ve played with champions before… but in hard times, you discover who the real ones are.”
🚨Van persie on Rice balon d’or shouts:
(laughs lightly) Ah, come on now… Declan Rice in the Ballon d’Or conversation? I’m sorry, but what exactly has he done to earn a seat at that table?
Let’s be honest, he hasn’t even been the best player in his own team, let alone the best in the Premier League. For a player to be mentioned among the world’s elite, you expect to see consistent moments of absolute dominance, game-changing performances week in, week out, or at least clear standout brilliance in the biggest matches.
Sorry Virgil, the linesman isn't going to bail you out. Focus on defending.. do your job.
Mark another one down for van Dijk:
- gives away the penalty for the 1st
- lets the cross in for the 2nd
- plays Semenyo onside for the 3rd
Never mention him as an all timer ever again.
🚨Michael Owen on the Carabao Cup final:
“It doesn’t even feel like a final is tomorrow—there’s absolutely no hype around the Carabao Cup Final. That’s what happens when the smallest club in Manchester faces the least relevant club in London. Let’s be honest, every competition feels flat when Manchester United aren’t involved.”
Deleted now (don't blame them), but surely the way to nail these lads is with the inside info guff? They'd have to prove it's legit, which then results in action for selling sensitive info, and if they can't then they're done for fraudulently selling a product?
Pollenca (Oasis Dream) finishes strongly to beat favourite Signora in the Mental Health Matters Fillies Maiden @curraghrace for the Andrew Slattery team 💥
🚨🗣️ Dalot: “I will look at Ruben [Amorim] as someone REALLY important in this club’s history. I think it’s a little bit bold to say it. People might not believe it but as soon as he came, he changed a LOT of things that you don't see.
“What didn't work was what we did on the pitch in terms of results. I think he created a great group of players that we have now.
“And if you can see it, the squad that we have now, we bought four really good players that add that quality to us, fighting for UCL football”. #MUFC [@RioMeets]
🚨 Schweinsteiger:
“Every time I watch Olise, I wonder how Yamal is already ‘best in the world.’ Talent for talent, Olise isn’t behind in anything. Feels like Barca’s PR working overtime again. Stop forcing the next Messi… it’s giving Disney+ trailer”
If this graphic made sense to you, then context officially died on football Twitter.
This comparison claims
Amorim — 38 games, 42 points
Carrick — 25 games, 44 points
Sounds smart… until you apply basic football logic.
First of all, "Ruben Amorim did NOT manage 38 league games".
The Premier League has 38 games TOTAL. He 'did not start the season'. He took over mid-season, with United already sitting 14th, after multiple managers and months of damage. Blaming him for points dropped before he arrived is simply dishonest.
Amorim actually managed 27 league games, not 38. (24/25)
Now let’s talk context.
Before Amorim took over, United had 3 wins in 11 games, low confidence, no structure, and an unbalanced squad. Yet those early dropped points are magically assigned to him now? That’s not analysis, that’s narrative pushing.
Carrick has done well. No one is denying that.
But Carrick did not inherit the same situation. He didn’t walk into a side already buried in the table, didn’t carry Europa League pressure at the same time, and didn’t have to undo months of instability. Adding Amorim’s rebuilding work into Carrick’s point total is football math fraud.
Another convenient omission, Europe.
Under Amorim, United went unbeaten in Europe (8W, 2D, 0L) until the final and we all know that's on Onana . Squad rotation, workload, and pressure mattered, but they’re ignored because they don’t fit the agenda.
This graphic isn’t accidental.
It’s designed to simplify complexity, remove takeover context, inflate one manager, and bury another.
You can praise Carrick without lying about Amorim.
You can enjoy momentum without rewriting history.
Football is about phases, inheritance, and context.
Remove those, and you don’t get clarity, you get propaganda.
And this graphic?
Pure propaganda.
