When Manchester United sign a player, the player never, ever brings up City. They don't need to.

When City signs a player, they need to talk about Manchester United & bring them into the conversation. Cook the books, buy success, cheat your way through two decades, it doesn't buy prestige, history or class.

Congrats on the £116m & £300k+ per week wages. An eye watering total package of £200m+ plus bonuses.

Look…

Would I have liked to see Paraguay have “more of a go.”

Absolutely.

But they lost 1-0 to a France side STACKED with £100m players after 100 minutes.

Side’s aren’t playing for your entertainment, they’re playing to win. This is the method they thought was best.

They lost, that’s sport.

[Hayles @Hayles_101]

Thinking of the literally millions of broken hearts around the world that were drinking in the moment Lyon scored their pen to make it 4-2. F**KING. HAVE. THAT.

It is really hard not to get into a conspiracy mindset. United are getting absolutely fucked by refs every week.

We knew what would happen and gave away 13 corners

And marked zonally at the corners
And didn't do any blocking
And routine fouling was allowed by the ref

Some learnings coming out of a defeat to Stoke

[Shaun Connolly @shaunconnolly85]

Becks managed 62 goals and 83 assists (with only two penalties) in 265 Premier League appearances as a midfielder.

He was also robbed of a Ballon d’Or after winning THE treble and stepping into a central midfield without Keano and Scholes in a Champions League final.

Behave.

[Chris Winterburn @cmwinterburn]

Relegation alone does nothing other than legitimise Manchester City’s resumption of dominance in 2026/2027. This is the last possible chance English football has to get rid of state ownership, and it’s come about almost by accident. They have to take it. Anything short of that and everyone can settle in for decades of Manchester City vs Newcastle on both the pitch and inevitably, in the court room.

He's won it all 🎶

Jonny Evans has now won EVERY major trophy there is to win with @ManUtd 🏆

[Sam Pilger @sampilger]

Manchester United winning the FA Cup with goals from two homegrown young players against nation state-owned Manchester City with their multiple charges is rather wonderful #MUFC

Double treble. Shut the fuck up. 🤫

[UtdXclusive @UtdXclusive]

Fun fact: Marcus Rashford has more than double the goals against Virgil van Dijk (7) than Fernando Torres had against Nemanja Vidic (3)

Interesting… 🤭

[Liam Canning @LiamPaulCanning]

ARE LIVERPOOL STILL WINNING THE QUAD?

[No Question About That @nqatpod]

It’s not for the referee to decide if the player is injured. Absolutely outrageous that he’s shaking his head and being buddy buddy with De Bruyne.

[Sam Peoples @sampeoples_]

This being checked and passed simply proves it has nothing to do with the rules. It is down to who the VAR assistant is and who is the player doing it. It is personal bias of those in charge, not rules being implemented.
