🇳🇴 Hi Norway and Norwegians, ahead of the game against England tomorrow, I wrote some words on what the game means to me — a devout lover of Norway. Hope you enjoy it! medium.com/@joshbutler.write…

“Three years behind Arsenal” while United were playing Wes Brown and John O’Shea at right back between 2007 and 2009.
The meta in the PL now is 3 CBs + 1 fullback. Chelsea use it. United use it. Liverpool use it. Brighton use it. It is really good until you remember this was state-of-the-art for Arsenal and City in 2023. The rest of the league are some 3 years behind Arsenal.

Onana Darmian Yoro Bailly Malacia Fred Schneiderlin Antony Van de Beek Sancho Zirkzee Honourable mentions: Sanchez, Memphis, Di Maria, Telles, Pogba.
Name your flop 11 post Ferguson. The rules are you can play any system, but it has to be workable. So, you can’t name a team of 8 forwards. At the end I’ll work out who got the most mentions and pull together the final results.

Uprofesjonelt over hele linja. Rett og slett fullstendig meltdown. Enorm jobb som må gjøres i offseason no for å stable på plass et velfungeranes fotballag igjen. GRUSOMT

Hvordan det føles å støtte Man Utd og Tromsø akkurat nå.

Jeg vet ikke hvorfor jeg fortsetter å se denne kampen fordi det ble game over etter 10 minutter. Min kone sa til meg «jeg er overrasket over at du fortsatt like fotball, you know.» Ja, jeg vet.

Jeg skjønner ikke hvorfor dommeren gir gullkort for protester etter SEKS FUCKING MINUTTER. Ja, straffesparket er fair. Det skal jeg ikke krangle på, men fuck me, et rødt kort for det? Ødela hele kampen.

Nobody will ever convince me that Rio 07/08 is better than Ronny 98/99. Same as Stam and Vida.
Replying to @RonnLennon
Utd’s best 3 sides in PL era (93/94, 98/99 & 07/08) What’s best combined XI from those sides? CB 2

I went to watch TIL vs Brighton this season, and, like most TIL fans, I was disappointed but not surprised by the result. But having seen just how good Brighton have been against Prem opposition, I feel a lot prouder of how we fared. No shame losing to this Brighton side!

“United have fixed the attack” I am told as I watch Zirkzee waddle onto the pitch to inevitably do absolutely fuck all for the 50th time in a United shirt.

Jeg er i året 2031 på FM24 og mitt TIL trenerteam inkluderer: - Daniel Fredheim Holm - Ruben Yttergård Jenssen - Thomas Kind Bendiksen - Ronny Johnsen. Hvem andre trenger jeg?

Fuck the Glazers then, fuck them now, fuck them forever.
💰NEW: Manchester United director Edward Glazer has donated $200,000 to Trump’s Republican Party ahead of the midterms, @CityAM can reveal. Owners at Palace, Villa, Bournemouth and Ipswich (as well as Boehly) have given cash ahead of Tuesday’s vote, too. cityam.com/manchester-united…

It’s a game 😂
There 👏 are 👏 rules 👏 He signed the contract took the payment, then said fuck you to the rules. BTW he could've just said NO the night he was up for recruitment. Instead he literally stole Amol's chance to play the game. He should be fined for breaking contract not celebrated

I’ve lived in and around Bath since 2009, and it’s not until I spend a day in the city centre during a half term that I remember how much of a tourist place it is. People take photos of EVERYTHING.

Really bad evening for all the people that have spent years telling anyone who'd listen that Harry Kane is shite.
