somewhere in your 20s or 30s you’ll get the opportunity to rebuild your life after a negative loop. its very important that you see that journey through
“Give my car to Johnny Dogs,
My wine to The Garrison pub,
My horses to someone who's no work for them,
My bullets to someone who's no names to write on them,
And my guns to someone who has no use for them.
Once, I nearly got fucking everything, but nearly doesn't count.
But throughout it all, I had me family.
We are reunited now, in whichever place will have us.
Burn my body, let the ash blow.”
"Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you.
Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways.
Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride."
Anthony Bourdain
“The first $100,000 is a bitch, but you gotta do it. I don't care what you have to do - if it means walking everywhere and not eating anything that wasn't purchased with a coupon, find a way to get your hands on $100,000. After that, you can ease off the gas a little bit.”
- Charlie Munger
If this graphic made sense to you, then context officially died on football Twitter.
This comparison claims
Amorim — 38 games, 42 points
Carrick — 25 games, 44 points
Sounds smart… until you apply basic football logic.
First of all, "Ruben Amorim did NOT manage 38 league games".
The Premier League has 38 games TOTAL. He 'did not start the season'. He took over mid-season, with United already sitting 14th, after multiple managers and months of damage. Blaming him for points dropped before he arrived is simply dishonest.
Amorim actually managed 27 league games, not 38. (24/25)
Now let’s talk context.
Before Amorim took over, United had 3 wins in 11 games, low confidence, no structure, and an unbalanced squad. Yet those early dropped points are magically assigned to him now? That’s not analysis, that’s narrative pushing.
Carrick has done well. No one is denying that.
But Carrick did not inherit the same situation. He didn’t walk into a side already buried in the table, didn’t carry Europa League pressure at the same time, and didn’t have to undo months of instability. Adding Amorim’s rebuilding work into Carrick’s point total is football math fraud.
Another convenient omission, Europe.
Under Amorim, United went unbeaten in Europe (8W, 2D, 0L) until the final and we all know that's on Onana . Squad rotation, workload, and pressure mattered, but they’re ignored because they don’t fit the agenda.
This graphic isn’t accidental.
It’s designed to simplify complexity, remove takeover context, inflate one manager, and bury another.
You can praise Carrick without lying about Amorim.
You can enjoy momentum without rewriting history.
Football is about phases, inheritance, and context.
Remove those, and you don’t get clarity, you get propaganda.
And this graphic?
Pure propaganda.
