Ae-jhand-si life.

[Andy Mitten @AndyMitten]

Sir Alex Ferguson 2012, Brendan Rodgers '14, Jose Mourinho '18, Jurgen Klopp '19 & '22, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer '21 & Mikel Arteta '23 all finished second in the PL without systematic cheating. Then there's cup finals.
They, their players and staff deserve justice and recognition.

People are overreacting. @Carras16 may have been sold horrendously short in the transfer market, and while his playing model may not be perfect, his United team can still be, imo, very fun this season

Give them some time

A thread:

[Manchester United Forever @UtdForever7]

🚨For the past 6 months, Lazio fans have been boycotting the stadium as part of their ongoing protest against Claudio Lotito’s 22 years in charge as owner of the club.

Over 90% of their season ticket holders refused to renew and none of the real fans want to buy tickets and merchandise from the club as long as Claudio Lotito is the owner.

Unless United fans actually pull off something like this, absolutely nothing is ever going to change with our ownership under the Glazers & INEOS.

Fans are a massive part of the problem here. You lot cannot keep moaning at the start of every single season, only to turn around and keep buying the new kits, paying a fortune for your season tickets, and filling Old Trafford to the brim week in, week out. It is completely hypocritical.

The Glazers do not care about your social media hashtags or your green and gold scarves if they are still laughing all the way to the bank. If you genuinely want to change something, we have to completely boycott everything until they are forced to sell the club to an ambitious owner who actually gives a toss about football.

United has lost over £1 billion since those parasites took over, purely down to servicing their debt interest payments and paying themselves massive dividends. Just let that sink in.

Imagine that money actually being invested back into the club into the squad, into the academy, and fixing our stadium. We would never, ever be in this pathetic position. The biggest club in the world is being used as a personal cash cow for the Glazers, and it's completely unacceptable.

Empty the stadium, stop buying the merchandise, and hit them where it hurts. It’s the only language they understand.

Spurs are in their Ed Woodward era of spending.

Man Utd are in their Daniel Levy era of spending.

[EngiNerd. @mainbhiengineer]

Just like PM Care funds why there is no fund like Income taxpayer care fund, where Govt put some amount of tax revenue every year to help people losing jobs due to layoffs after continuously paying income tax for more than 5 years.

Paying lakhs of rupees of income tax to Govt every year and then suddenly losing job and getting no support from Govt isn't less than a disaster.

ending the protest without seeing the conclusion of the demands: was, is and will be the dumbest move

[Ashutosh Ranka @AshutoshRanka]

Dear @JPNadda @DrJitendraSingh ji,

We are observing a complete breach of the agreement regarding no police action against the protestors. Hundreds of students have been arrested in Bihar and Bengal, and hundreds are being surveilled/harrassed in Delhi and other states. Multiple reports are emerging in Delhi around detention of volunteers supporting protestors with logistics.

We demand that all the FIRs against the protestors be immediately withdrawn, students be released and no future FIRs be filed (in line with our agreement) by Delhi police / Central investigative agencies / Police in BJP-allied states, FAILING WHICH WE WILL BE FORCED TO SIT ON PROTEST AGAIN.

We also demand that the written agreement around legal cases be shared with us by tomorrow, the aligned timelines with the Government of India.

[Damn. @Theonenameddamn]

We criticised the Godi media for what they did during the protests, but now let's take a moment to appreciate the journalists who stood with the students through thick and thin.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

India needs a strong Government. Modi does not matter. I can go back & open a tea stall. But, the nation can't suffer anymore.

[Hardik Rajgor @Hardism]

Forget Sonam Wangchuk. Forget Abhijeet Dipke. Forget the CJP.

Did the exam papers leak? Yes.
Do they leak frequently? Yes.
Did many students commit suicide? Yes.
Do papers leak for other exams as well? Also yes.

The Government seems to suggest that a successful re-exam was undertaken, and the criminals have been punished - so what’s the problem?

The problem is that it doesn’t stop the next paper leak.

Putting some low level criminals behind bars and throwing money at the families of the dead isn’t the permanent solution. How many senior administrators and bureaucrats have faced the wrath of the law in the last 10 years?

It’s a post-facto reaction after the leaks have already taken lives.

Exam paper leaks in India are not confined to one state, one government, or one type of exam. In fact, the situation is even worse in State exams.

The attitude, by-and-large, seems to be, jaisa chal raha hai chalne do..

We’ll pick up a few people here and there, give away some money, do a re-exam and move on to the next cycle. Itna toh kiya, aur kya chahiye?

But the students have gotten restless. They are fed up. You see it in TV interviews after every exam that gets cancelled at the last moment. Police recruitment. Teacher recruitment. State Govt recruitment. Again and again. Year after year. Too many students have all hopes pinned on these various exams. It is their ticket out of poverty, to make a life for themselves and their families.

Why should they just “get on with it”?

Another line of argument seems to be that there were more paper leaks in the Congress era. And that this government has done better than its predecessors. And so people need to be ‘sensible’ about this issue.

Ok, but why should that be relevant to a 20-year old today?

She didn’t live in the Congress era. She is living and studying in 2026.

It is an argument that would perhaps resonate with millennials and older folks who have lived through both regimes. But the very young don’t have that old reference (and it’s a good thing) - they have the reference of social media.

This is a social media native generation, they don’t consume traditional TV or news. Social media gives them access to what the world is like, right on their screen, 24X7. And they will increasingly ask - why can’t we have the good things that the world has?

If Ethiopia can have decent roads, why can’t India?
If Sri Lanka can be clean, why can’t India?
If Vietnam can conduct exams well, why can’t India?

And this restlessness expresses aspiration.

To demand more. To want better. To want it quickly.

Chalta Hai.. is not going to cut it anymore.

Take the counterfactual - if there was no hue and cry, do you believe anything would change? There would be another paper leak somewhere in another month. Another series of suicides. Another round of compensation.

It may very well happen even now, but the students have expressed their rage and fury- that it can’t be business as usual.

“Chalta hai” is the defining attitude of India.

Road after road after road has potholes.. but chal raha hai.
Exam after exam after exam gets cancelled.. but chal raha hai.
Kachra on every street, highway, station… but chal raha hai.
Corruption in every other government service.. but chal raha hai.

The young (thankfully) don’t carry the baggage of the past. The older you get, the more cynical you become - that this is how the system is, and how things will always work. But the young, with their (hopeful) naivety, at least have the ability to dream of a different tomorrow.

In my early 20s, I wore the Anna cap and went around the area sloganeering with a bunch of other young people during the IAC movement. Nothing came out of it, and in hindsight I felt stupid for having supported any of those people. But the sentiment that it came out of - the frustration with rampant corruption - that was genuine.

As I’m sure, the sentiment is genuine with thousands of students who have been part of these protests.

I hope your movement has a more fruitful end than the one I supported.

PS: Is this movement foreign funded? Are there other forces involved? I will let people with far more experience than me on security and intelligence matters to comment on that. But I will say this - the issue has been genuine, and it has resonance among the public. Grifters will always find a way to latch on to popular issues and try to hijack it. We must not lose sight of solving for the core sentiment.

why don't yall officially name yourselves VARsenal @FA_PGMOL

[The Footy Feed @TheFootyFeed]

VAR to the rescue for Arsenal's season:

🟥 Havertz narrowly escapes a Red Card for a shocking tackle on Burnley’s Ugochukwu.

❌ Saliba's kick on Barry went unpunished, with Everton missing out on a penalty—PGMOL later acknowledged this mistake.

🟥 Gabriel should have received a red for violent conduct after a head-to-head clash with Erling Haaland.

🟥 Once again, Gabriel should have been sent off for hitting Nick Woltemade with a fist to the face.

❌ West Ham's hopes for an equaliser dashed in the dying moments as Rice and Trossard both rugby tackled opponents.

What else did I overlook? 🤔🤔

[Sam Dean @SamJDean]

With respect to my colleagues in the football writing industry, I am stunned that Bruno Fernandes has been named FWA Footballer of the Year instead of Declan Rice. Rice has literally won more matches this season (35) than Fernandes has even played (34).

[Pilib De Brún (Phil Brown) @Malachians]

Whatever happens with Carrick, if it’s to be someone else, they will be walking in to a job that was completely different to the one he walked in to. They will be following a manager who finished in the top 5, not the bottom 5. A club who are in 5 competitions not one who aren’t in any. A club where players take a pay cut to stay, where players give everything to quality for competitions they won’t even play in and a club where we no longer fear getting embarrassed by our rivals. Carrick has restored the dignity of the office of the Manchester United manager, he has a class and a composure that builds trust with his players and has given us back a team that we can once again enjoy watching. He did this without signing a single player and if he doesn’t get the Utd job, he will rightfully get a top job somewhere else.

[Andy Mitten @AndyMitten]

Manchester United's players have been warned they'll be banned for up to 18 games if they breath air during the remaining fixtures. It's a new rule introduced this week. It will apply to United, but not opponents.
