@bazmufc_ He’s been released, wrote a book about it all and we’re still singing “now he’s…”

@JoshBirch92 What relevance does him writing a book have 🤣

About time we stopped singing this shit. The bloke has been out years and since wrote a book. Time to move on

So this is where they’ve all ended up. About time United stopped worrying about fans sorting their family/mates out and deal with this shit!

For anyone wondering how the fight against football ticket touting was going. #chelsea #mufc

I think the booing culture at football grounds shows us just how many tourists are now in our football stadiums.

Where have all the Chelsea tickets gone? No one has any. Away end will be full on influencers no doubt

Not sure what will be the straw that breaks the camels back for me regarding giving up watching live professional football but ticket pricing, pathetic club rules, poor officiating & the forever changing timetables of matches are already giving me cause for second thoughts tbh

Can swap a Sunderland for Chelsea if anyone knows of one. *not selling the Sunderland otherwise*

As someone on Spirit of Shankly pointed out, this is just the original concept for the Premier League being delivered. The vision was to move football up a couple of social classes, which to me means price out the less wealthy and encourage a "better" class of clientele with more disposable income. They focused only on the vast riches the PL would bring and they were right. However that model only works long term with regeneration of new fans. It works if you are never gonna get relegated because the group of die hards whose loyalty and love for the club could not be quantified on a balance sheet, have already left and they are now doing something else with their match days. Most of them likely realise that it's quite useful getting the time back and similar to when you break up with an ex, there is rarely any going back. Without the diehards, who indoctrinated the next generation into being obsessed with the team, where does the next generation of fans come from? Good luck convincing a young person to spend what little they have left after paying their rent and other increasing costs, to allocate a big chunk of what's left for an overpriced season ticket. Not happening, football is not high on the importance scale when you can watch every game on telly. As for the "better" clientele they attracted, they will abandon ship as quickly as they arrived come any form of hard times. What the clubs are doing right now with ticket price rises is simply ensuring that they have no loyal die hard fanbase left in 10-15 years. These changes will be forever. No more capacity crowds for just playing in the PL, owners will be forced to try and actually win stuff. If they don't, goodbye fans. If they do, those fans will demand they do it again. I'm from an era that did not place expectation on clubs, we just handed over our money and went to football, because that is the way it was. I'm still clinging on but with next year being my 50th watching West Ham and having been banned this season for breaching health and safety, I'm pretty sure it will be my last one. Unless the owners who fucked my club up completely, finally get the message and fuck off back to their mansions. The people who own clubs know the square root of fuck all about the generations of fans who helped build that club to be the thing it was before they demolished everything they inherited. They do not comprehend love or loyalty because in their world, those things are cash transactions. Football as we knew it is on life support, but the owners won't realise until one day they look around that vast stadium and see a handful of fans watching the latest pile of average they decided to serve up. #BSOUT

@FirenzePhoenix If that’s a red card the game is dead. End of.

Why on earth would you pull a players hair? Definite red card for strange behaviour.

The whole idea of being a football fan was to not to draw attention to yourself. Modern football is plagued with these attention seeking 🛎️🔚s 🚮

For years I’ve been able to balance working abroad and being a United season ticket holder but thanks to the late move to Monday nights I’ll definitely be missing the Leeds game and I’m fairly likely to miss the Brentford game too. There’s probably hundreds, if not thousands affected by these stupid decisions where match going fans are once again screwed over. Football is nothing without fans. @SkySports @premierleague you’re a shower of cunts.

Virgil van Dijk is the most overrated CB in modern history. I've been beating the drum on this for years & it continues proven correct with each mistake for to a goal & poor performance. Responsible for all four goals yet again today. Reputation doesn't stack up against reality.

Which is absolutely fine Just means that based on that threshold they got the Maguire one wrong, Evanilson should have been booked for diving & Harry should have stayed on the pitch Can’t have it both ways you daft cunts

Has ANYONE got Chelsea away? Something well bent going on here.

United away end seems like a proper one today, some old school songs being sung

@TraMufc Superb work 👏

50 new flags out tomorrow, if you have one near your pick it up and get stuck in. Brilliant work by the usual suspects doing all the hard work getting them out today 👏👏

Any last minute spares? One short

@superTekka Another brain dead account on X looking for clickbait. Shock

asides goals, Mbeumo offers almost nothing upfront.

@WilloMCI 115 charges...

Manchester City already equalised this achievement by winning the treble themselves. Not to mention, we added to this by winning the UEFA Super Cup AND the Club World Cup that year. Then after this, one of our players went on to win a Ballon d'Or. Furthermore, we were also the first EVER and still the ONLY club to gain 100 points in a season, win a domestic quadruple AND win four in a row. Oh and by the way... this was all in under a decade. I very much think that your "soulful and purposeful" treble has indeed... been topped.
