@TeleFootball Please verify before reporting. Keane misquoted Fernandes.

[Mateusz Portka @mateportka]

@manufcnow Keane never forgave Ferguson for sacking. Every comment is settling score. Scholes gave everything and got no coaching role back. Neville got humiliated at Valencia and now harms Utd to improve own PR. Three legends with unhealed wounds. It isn't punditry. It's therapy.

@SkySportsPL Can you please select nonbiased and objective commentators for future PL games next season? It spoils the show currently when commentators have agendas. Thanks

[Mateusz Portka @mateportka]

@FPLfrasier The refs consistently permit tackling goalkeeper this season what allowed Arsenal to develop their corner routines. Yet in key moments their goalkeeper cannot be even engaged. Id have assumed English league would be fair but West Ham pays a big price for refs having favourites

[Mateusz Portka @mateportka]

@FPLfrasier Let’s assume we accept his logic. Defenders beaten. Why no red for the faul on Cunha then? Everyone is so subjective and twists the perspective it just spoils the sport

[Mateusz Portka @mateportka]

@FrankEra_ PL and PGMOL want tighter top 4 fight to sell better. Not convenient for Utd to not lose points. So let’s steer the game. Add 9 when max 5-6 should be added. Play more than 10 extra mins. Not to mention penalties.

A good response by Guardiola, showing a point of view on immigration that many others are now forgetting.

[The Touchline | 𝐓 @TouchlineX]

🚨🗣️ Pep Guardiola on Sir Jim Ratcliffe's words on immigrants:

"I have a huge appreciation for Sir Jim. I was fortunate to meet him. I think he made an apology."

"But it's all around the world the problems we have, immigrants or people coming from another country. They are problems our countries have, and it's a big, big, big, big, big problem."

"The fact I am Catalan and you're British, what influence we had where we were born? It was mum and dad, right?"

"And we are born there, and I think everybody wants to have a better life, every people wants to have a perspective to have a better future for themselves, their families, friends or whatever."

"Sometimes opportunities come from the place you are born, and the place that maybe you go. And today, before it was so difficult to travel, in one hour you can be everywhere."

"The moment we start on colour of skin, or place where you're born, it doesn't make a difference. We have a lot, a lot of work to do. The fact I'm Catalan, I'm better than you? No."

"My education where I was born, travelling in Mexico, living in Qatar, Italy, England, Germany, that's just benefiting my personality. I grew up, met incredibly nice people, travelling and that's what it's about."

"But it doesn't make me feel better just for the fact I was born in one place different to another. And most of the people run away from their countries for the problems they have in their countries, not because we want to leave."

@FPLfrasier You forgot to add that the moment the team is showing any signs of a bit better game, he is making stupid comments in TV, causing chaos rather than stability around the club.

[Mateusz Portka @mateportka]

@FPLfrasier I would like someone to explain why Var showed a cut version of the choking incident without Sanchez’s choking back West Ham player to the referee. They showed the longer version earlier on TV

[Mateusz Portka @mateportka]

@FPLfrasier On a side note, I haven’t seen a single time Arteta inside his box. Why do they event paint them at Emirates?

[Mateusz Portka @mateportka]

@FrankEra_ Not only discontent at United. It is deliberate extra personal pressure ahead of a game that does not need extra pressure applied, but more focus and composure. Mr Scholes is using this feud to make a few extra cheap comments that can be quoted.

[Mateusz Portka @mateportka]

@FPLfrasier Reading their comments, I’m actually encouraged that Carrick has a beef with the “tv gang”. It means he is in the opposite camp

[Mateusz Portka @mateportka]

@FPLfrasier A movement for people to recognise the attention seeking “legends” that are looking for own spotlight at the cost of Utd

[Mateusz Portka @mateportka]

@utdreport Mr Neville wants very much for Carrick to not continue beyond the summer by any chance. Relax, there is low chance for that in general. They don’t have to make his job now more difficult by putting pressure on every sec

[Mateusz Portka @mateportka]

@FrankEra_ @TheAthleticFC Why Wilcox and Berrada are needed then? A CEO that can’t make basic decisions on who to hire… looks like in this club everyone level above is interfering with others work

[Mateusz Portka @mateportka]

@FrankEra_ This entire long search of someone temporary with big sentiment and testing the audience on social media is to calm frustrated (and rightfully) supporters. They are thinking an interview will double down and please people even more. Silly. Looks like populism in football

[Mateusz Portka @mateportka]

@FPLfrasier Its all about getting your buddies a better salaried position. I wouldn’t be surprised Wilcox chose Carrick because he agreed to Wilcox’s staff setup

[Mateusz Portka @mateportka]

@FPLfrasier They should not be specific with the 6-month appointment and no extension. I can already see intensity dropping from the players when they know the interim won't be there after the summer

[Mateusz Portka @mateportka]

@FrankEra_ It looks like he was allowed to buy a chunk by the Glazers not to restore the football level at United but to cut costs, make it as lean as possible, hopefully increasing the total value of the holding for them.

[Mateusz Portka @mateportka]

@FrankEra_ @MikeKeegan_DM We are hiring the interim manager longer and with more drama than others hire permanent bosses. I have a feeling less care went into hiring people who are now hiring our managers
