Honestly, I’m disappointed. In our halcyon days Twitter would have milked a week off of Kissinger memes and now it feels over on X after four hours. I think it’s over.

@jeffrueter My Wrapped didn’t have a Sound Town (I checked multiple times) and after this I’m furious https://t.co/sEsVdwUL2g

No one tell Jimmy Carter about outliving Henry Kissinger, I bet he’ll still have a good year plus of spite survival in him if he thinks Henry’s still alive

Bullshit, I was there, there’s no way after this season that Wonderwall would be in #MNUFC’s top two tracks

@Steven_Hyden Happy Thanksgiving!

@dog_rates @15outof10 From one Maggie to another, stay strong girl!

[Colin O’Donnell @theattachment]

I mean this sincerely and with both examples like this and modest experience from talking to them: the average player isn’t that smart and certainly watches less MLS than you’d expect.

@twinkiejiggles Danko maybe?

@mimtclaughlin For once I feel compelled to go to Iowa

@MNUFC They want you as the people hiring them to compensate them for their healthcare, and they are striking as a result.

[Colin O’Donnell @theattachment]

Drop by the picket line and show your support to folks who make your Allianz experience possible. @MNUFC can afford $12,000 a year to pay for their workers’ healthcare costs.

[Twin Cities Video Board Workers Union @MnufcUnion]

🧵 Today we strike. For 7 months, we have bargained with @MNUFC for our first contract. The team has repeatedly stalled and shown no interest in bargaining a fair deal. We feel we have not been take seriously.

[Colin O’Donnell @theattachment]

The only thing wrong with this is the picture. Give us the mournful corner flag!

[Minnesota United FC @MNUFC]

The club has parted ways with Head Coach Adrian Heath. Assistant Coach Sean McCauley will serve as Interim Head Coach for the remainder of the 2023 MLS campaign.

Seven years managing a soccer team in this era is an eternity and typically requires dynasty level success. Heath hasn’t had great investment, but he’s had the mandate to make MNUFC in his image. An Open Cup final and a Conference final aren’t enough to have justified seven years

[Tom Bogert @tombogert]

BREAKING: Minnesota United has parted ways with long-time head coach Adrian Heath and technical director Mark Watson.

Heath and Watson had been with MNUFC since inaugural 2017 season. Made the playoffs last four years.

On the night where the most mediocre white guy that ever lived had his pet project fullback give up two goals before watching the center mid he forced via substitution to center back give up a goal within two possessions, I salute @MNUFC for giving VRJ a grand on Heath’s behalf.

[Minnesota United FC @MNUFC]

Win or lose, @gobellbanks and #MNUFC are committed to supporting our community on each and every MLS gameday. While we did not select a Man of the Match this evening, $1000 will still be donated to a local nonprofit: Voices For Racial Justice.

@collinsolberg What I’m saying is that money isn’t the thread that you claim it is.

[Colin O’Donnell @theattachment]

@collinsolberg It’s not MNUFC’s lack of spending. It’s a lack of doing anything particularly well in roster building, like an academy (Philly, Dallas, etc), or cornering the MLS scrap heap (STL), or drafting a starter each year (Orlando, NER for a while), or even actually spending money.
