In The Last 3 years at Man Utd:
• 3 Women now accusing Antony of assault & one set to do a TV interview on it.
• Sancho statement saying he is being scapegoated.
• Whole Greenwood situation & how awfully Richard Arnold handled it.
• Takeover being dragged on (creating job uncertainty for employees).. and now staff turning on Glazers and leaking stories.
• Ronaldo goes on Piers Morgan disrespecting ETH then goes in on how bad the club is run and the owners.
• Bailly comes out and says the club favour British players.
• Bailly likes comments slamming Maguire and team mates.
• Lingard falls out with club over not getting loan move so they give him a holiday.
• Lingard/Martial go on social media to call Rangnick a liar.
• Rangnick calls out club, basically says half the squad have the wrong attitude and the board have no clue (said we need open heart surgery).
• Rojo calls out Maguire and has big bust up with Ole for playing Maguire over him.
• Multiple dressing room/team leaks.
• Martial interview (slamming Ole/Jose).
• Tried to sign Arnautovic (fan outrage over racist comments stopped this).
• Luke Shaw came out and admitted a lot of Man Utd players weren’t 100% committed (21/22).
• Lingard told Scholes dressing room was a mess.
• Maguire Greece situation.
+ the whole super league debacle that the Glazers/Woodward were the ring leaders behind.
No other top has had this much drama.
A lot of these is a result of the Glazers running the club like a circus. Constantly keeping unhappy players so they don’t have to spend money on replacements among more. #GlazersOut
A British writer penned the best description of Donald Trump I’ve ever read:
“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?”
A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.
Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.
There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.
So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.
This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.
And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.”
