The feedback for this one has been off the scale.
Still boggles my mind, after all these years of making 'em.
It will be taken down later tonight. I've pushed my luck with the copyright police long enough.
If you missed it last night or fancy a rewatch, then move sharpish.

Benjamin Sesko on choosing Manutd:
I have known Vivell for a long time , we would keep in touch from time to time , he would congratulate me when I scored a special goal and suddenly I get a call from him in the middle of June , My head was already in Manchester.

Even with all the problems at Manchester United they are still the biggest club in the country, probably second only to Real Madrid globally*. Even with the wretched Glazers, the debt, decaying stadium and years of poor recruitment, over-paying and under-achieving post-Sir Alex Ferguson, United are still a huge draw. That will be confirmed if Benjamin Sesko does follow Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo in signing for a team who finished 15th last season.
Great clubs don’t lose their reputation overnight. United have a huge fanbase locally, nationally and internationally. It’s why the media cover them in such endless depth. Interest. It does need highlighting that the club laid off hundreds of loyal staff to save money and still have £70m for a 22-year-old. Sesko still an upgrade on the willing but shot-shy Rasmus Hojlund. United just need a dynamic Baleba-type in midfield and probably a more reliable goalkeeper than Andre Onana.
It’s still a long way back, other clubs have far better squads and are far better run, but United have a good head coach in Ruben Amorim determined to make his 3-4-2-1 system work (still a sadness for those of us who love United’s tradition of flying wingers). They have bought well this summer with Cunha and Mbeumo, who bring goals, assists and PL nous, also there’s the promise of 18-year-old Diego Leon. Patrick Dorgu looks to have settled in. Amad excellent. Mason Mount is fit, creating and scoring pre-season, but he’s 4th on the list for the two 10 slots. Amorim still has plenty to sort out. #MUFC
*the biggest club in the country/world will always be *your* club - because they matter most to you.
Manchester United fans are planning a protest march against the Glazers before Sunday’s game with Arsenal. “Let’s protest, let’s be heard, and let’s fight for a better future,” says Steve Crompton @The__1958
The protest group has announced new pledges:
"To demand an end to Glazer ownership. ‘They are done. We cannot heal as a club or fan base until they are gone. Never forgive. Never forget’.
To stand in solidarity under one cause.
The deliberate attack on fan culture and marginalisation of match going fans must stop.
End the assault on concessions, ticket prices and club heritage.
Show that the football community and generational fans will not be silent."
The group urges fans to wear black on the march “to show solidarity and a symbol of the state of the club” and emphasises the importance of staying "within legal boundaries”. #MUFC #MUNARS
🗣️Shall we begin: Announcing protest Arsenal 9th March
We have been preparing for this for a few weeks in anticipation.
We are angry, the fans are angry and it’s been building for some time.
We have all been more than patient.
We all know the root cause, we have always known the elephant in the room.
Yet, this isn’t being addressed.
It’s those who can least afford it, have the most emotional connection with our club who are being asked to pay the price in more ways than one.
Trampling over generational support and memories of friends and family who handed the club over to us like something they have stepped in.
- The treatment of fans from the club
- The eradication of fan culture
- The assault on concessions and generational fans
- Putting profit before fan safety
- Putting profit before everything
- The total lack of communication and transparency
- The uncertainty of our clubs future
The club preach fan engagement the reality is they dont practice it. We know this first hand and have evidence.
ACTIONS NOT WORDS ITS NOT GOOD ENOUGH
They can hold meetings with the FAB which is all under NDA. It is supposed to be for the fans YET they can’t tell the fans anything. It’s a disgrace!
These meetings are effectively gagged and it is NOT open and transparent dialogue with fans. Not even close.
The silence from the club is deafening.
We rise again to defend our club and be warned this will not just be on the street campaigns at the ground.
Keep treating the fans with contempt at your peril
More details to follow in the coming days

Freedom of speech is the bedrock of democracy. If the truth is suppressed, it is impossible to make an informed voting decision.
The degree to which freedom of speech is being undermined around the world is extremely alarming.
