Happy New Year, everyone! 2024 marks the 30th anniversary of our landmark Welsh Cup Final win over Cardiff City in Cardiff. It also marks the 25th anniversary of our milestone Premier Cup Final win over Wrexham in Wrexham. More to follow on both in 2024... #EmbraceYourHistory

Basically we should keep the extra hour of daylight later in the day and all get up an hour later. If that means school and work starts later, so be it.

This is one of the best things I’ve seen from any fan base in a very long time. For too long players have got away with downing tools to get a manager sacked, it’s quality to see United fans backing Carrick over the players! 👏
Emotional exit by Michael Carrick as fans sing his name. A farewell? Supporters turn on players once Carrick down tunnel. #MUFC

Imagine crying about a fictional "cartel" asset-stripping Bournemouth when your own club is the only one that actually spent £105M to gut their squad (Aké & Semenyo). But let's talk about the real delusion here: focusing on the rules is a classic deflection to distract from industrial financial fraud. Complaining about spending rules is not a defense for cheating. Bournemouth has achieved its historic success by working hard, scouting brilliantly, and completely following the rules. They didn’t need an underground £830M disguised funding scheme or "sham" state contracts to build a squad capable of smashing elite European clubs. The real tragedy? If certain clubs hadn't fraudulently pumped artificial state money into the system, creating a toxic hyper-inflation of player wages and transfer fees organically run teams like Bournemouth would be even further along. Sovereign state doping didn't "save" football, it broke the economic ladder for the clubs that actually play by the book. Stop using whataboutism to shield your dirty conviction on 114 counts of corporate deception.
Bournemouth have smashed Man Utd at Old Trafford and AC Milan in europe in a single week. 10 champions league titles between them. Incredible for them. Hopefully current Premier League rules mean their squad doesn’t get asset stripped by red cartel clubs in the summer.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Since 2010 Manchester City FC have spent more on Bournemouth players (Ake and Semenyo) than any of Arsenal, Liverpool or Manchester United. transfermarkt.com/afc-bournemout…

Forget Michael Carrick and all the rest of it. Manchester United, now and for a while, are a consequence of the disgraceful moment in May 2005 that should never have been allowed to occur. Took two decades but the chickens are very much home and roosting

If they build that stadium, Manchester United are never getting rid of the Glazers and Ratcliffe in the forseeable. It'll be their own cash cow circus, significantly paid for by the British public to boot. #MUFC

The Premier League is now a shit show filled with cheats and Manchester United are getting beat 3-0 off Bournemouth, the WWF is owned by a company that is sending it into a literal warzone and The Simpsons are now off Sky TV. Tell me that in 1995, I'd laugh in your fucking face.

There is a not a single football game between two sides in the English pyramid that justifies the use of a plane. Coaches are not what they were in the 1980s, the luxury comforts available now mean the use of planes should be banned outright for domestic games.

£1.012 billion taken from Manchester United, stolen directly from the club, for the Glazer debt saddled on the club. £170 million paid out in dividends. Around £42m paid every year since the 2005 Glazer leveraged buyout - a process that is now illegal - to service their debt.

AFC Bournemouth, with a home stadium capacity of 12.5k, have just beaten AC Milan and Manchester United in back-to-back 3-0 games. Why do Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazers need a new stadium, built with significant taxpayer funding? Get the leeches gone.

What they call antisemitism is people being horrified by dead children killed by a state claiming to represent the Jewish people. I’m so sick of this. Like, beyond sick.

I'm an Irish Republican. I deplore what the "British" did to us for centuries. I crave a united Ireland. Never has a British person been so stupid or insincere to accuse me of hating all British people. Yet, I deplore israel's behaviour but that makes me anti-semitic?

They weren't found guilty of "trying to match spending" you were convicted of system-wide industrial corporate fraud that has irreversibly damaged English football. City used fraudulent quantitative easing to inject close to £1B of disguised state cash into the system. That artificial monopoly money is exactly what triggered the hyper-inflation of player wages and transfer fees across the entire pyramid. Football clubs, just like banks, car manufacturers, airlines, and utilities operate under strict regulatory limits. Every major multinational is restricted by how much external capital can be dumped into them by super-billionaires and hostile nation-states to protect market competition. Dressing up systematic sports fraud as a "Robin Hood story" is absolutely laughable. Stop parroting these desperate lies to protect a multi-billion-pound scam. What you did to the game is vile.
Pretty simple. City found guilty of trying to match the spending of the red cartel. Not only 3 clubs in English football should be able to spend what they want. Villa should be included as much as City or anyone.

The manipulation of data they tried to pull off in the UK "antisemitism" report is so forward it's almost offensive they thought people wouldn't notice. "Are you just as open to having Jewish friends as you are to have friends from other parts of British society? is NOT the same question as: "Are you comfortable spending time with people who openly support Israel?" They tried to use the answers to these two VERY different questions- the first posed in 2020 and the second one in 2026 - as "evidence" that antisemitism is on the rise in the UK. And even then they STILL had to admit that it's criticism of ISRAEL that's on the rise, NOT bias against Jewish people.

Just a thought but if a baby is born at 1.59AM tonight and its twin is born 10mins later would that make the 2nd baby older than the 1st ? 🤔🤭😬 #clocksgoback

The report explicitly acknowledges that hatred toward Jews is NOT on the rise, and that only anti-Israel sentiments are increasing. And yet they STILL published a review claiming “antisemitism” is a major problem in British schools, because "antisemitism" means "opposing Israel".
Buried on page 30 of 'Sir' David Bellend's report into antisemitism in schools in the UK it explicitly says there hasn't been a rise in antisemitism, only in anti-Israel sentiment. Astonishingly fraudulent crisis/debate, all to shield a genocidal state

I can't get over what a massive admission this is. If we lived in a world where politicians and media cared about facts, THIS would be the headline story. "ANTI-ISRAEL ATTITUDES INCREASING, ZERO INCREASE IN ANTISEMITISM." The pro-Palestine movement has been so successful in separating opposition to Israeli atrocities from hatred toward Jews that there has been zero increase in public hatred toward Jews throughout three years of genocide. That's an incredibly impressive achievement in activism and education regarding a mass atrocity we're always told is a super duper complicated issue that's almost impossible to understand. This one fact, by itself, completely destroys just about every argument the hasbarists have ever made about the pro-Palestine movement. People who've been taking a stand against the Gaza holocaust have been absolutely impeccable with their messaging, taking great care to help the public understand the distinction between the religion of Judaism and the apartheid state of Israel. If mainstream pundits and politicians actually cared about truth and morality, they would be falling all over themselves to apologize and correct the record on the narrative they've been pushing that the pro-Palestine movement is responsible for a surging epidemic of antisemitism in our society. They would be telling everyone that it turns out there is in fact no epidemic of antisemitism, and the pro-Palestine movement has conducted itself with saintly meticulousness in ensuring that hatred toward the Jewish faith gains no purchase within their ranks or their message. But mainstream pundits and politicians do not care about truth or morality. They care about promoting the interests of a genocidal apartheid state, no matter how many lies they need to tell in order to do so. This is why instead of seeing headlines about the Bell review's finding that there has been zero increase of antisemitism among British people, we've been seeing headlines falsely claiming that British schoolchildren are evil antisemitic Nazis who must be brought to heel. People who support Israel are disgusting, manipulative liars, and the western political/media class are the very worst among them.

29 students. The TOTAL number of students in the massive UK government report who said they experienced antisemitism. Israel has murdered 862 TIMES that number of Palestinian kids. With the support of the UK.
