Hey, look. It’s a website about me. What a treat. 😍 https://t.co/w8yeFy9zFd

[No Question About That @nqatpod]

It is so hard supporting a club with these owners and leaders. What a truly horrible set of people. Craven. Shallow. Morally bankrupt. Reactive. Spineless. United fans stood up this past week though.

[Tyrone Marshall @TyMarshall_MEN]

Mason Greenwood said in his statement today he was “cleared of all charges.” He wasn’t. The charges were dropped and that is an important distinction, morally and legally. Had he been cleared of all charges the decision would have been much easier for #mufc

NEW:

The full inside story on how Manchester United came to decide to bring back Mason Greenwood and then U-Turn on the decision in the space of 72 hours.

@TheAthleticFC long read, featuring many fresh details.

[David Challen @David_Challen]

Man Utd CEO Richard Arnold has been the key leader in a plan to reinstate a prized financial asset in Greenwood. His attempts to excuse and undermine evidence of abuse + silence and label domestic abuse charities as "hostile" is inexcusable. He must resign.https://t.co/jU2fhmXVu7

[Casey Evans @Casey_Evans_]

While ultimately the right decision was made, we should not forget that it was the clubs intention to bring him back if it wasn’t for Adam Crafton’s reporting and the backlash that they definitely should have expected

[Adam Crafton @AdamCrafton_]

NEW @TheAthleticFC

🚨Manchester United’s plan to bring back Mason Greenwood included listing football pundits, politicians & journalists and categorising if they would be hostile or supportive. Domestic violence charities were assumed “hostile”

Manchester is a wonderful city with a great history of radicalism. So why is it, and its football clubs, wedded to a symbol that marks its darkest moments?

If there’s any show in the world I could bring back from the dead it’s Primeval

[alex @morelandwriter]

The Last of Us does have me feeling bad for the Primeval guys once again, who between this and A Quiet Place essentially invented the same monsters as big horror franchises a decade earlier on an ITV budget... twice

I’ve still not sat down. Heads absolutely gone.

The title charge starts now.

Every single one of those goals could have been prevented with a better, more modern goalkeeper

Ten Hag isn’t the next Guardiola — ten Hag isn’t the next Jose, van Gaal, or Ole. Ten Hag is one of one with a philosophy that possesses both positional and anti-positional principles.

The ending of Stranger Things S4 episode 4

[Rob Draper @draper_rob]

It’s important to tell what happened on the ground last night as I see that there are already several versions of ‘The Truth’ flying around. I was on the ground from 6.45pm (2.15 hrs before kick off) when problems began. So here’s a 🧵explaining my experiences….
