@amitburman @AdamSalkie Not to forget the ‘poetry’, ‘fun’ and ‘entertainment’ that was so assured after beating the mighty Wolves last week.

@AdamSalkie What happened to football with a smile?

I suppose City’s first half performance is why no “expert” has tipped us for the league… #MCITOT

@AdamSalkie @amitburman As I said…….

@adamross100 @amitburman Some footballers just have it. And are a pleasure to watch. You know immediately when you see them. We may win nothing - and frankly I’m not bothered. We’re gonna have some fun and entertainment again.

I’ve watched the goals again and again from today’s match at Wolves. I bang on about football with a smile. We’ve got so many players now who understand this concept. None more so than Tijjani. Just watch him play the game. It’s beautiful; it’s poetry. I could watch him all day 🩵

@SergeMUFC Went to game. Some decent attacking moments, dominated possession but didnt really look like scoring without striker on pitch. Most ‘pre-season’ game so far with little intensity, and opposition/ref who stopped play every 2 minutes with an injury or foul. So no real rhythm.

How did we play? #MUFC

@AdamSalkie @amitburman @Peterdennehy67 Yet still I guarantee that more fans will go watch the pre season tour in US than any of Citeh’s CWC games.

@adamross100 @amitburman @Peterdennehy67 You will have to guess . United are nowhere near these events. The club and your stadium are of no interest when the big tournaments come knocking.

If Liverpool and Manchester United were in the Club World Championship it would be the best, most innovative idea for a tournament ever, and a joy and pleasure to watch…

@AdamSalkie @amitburman @Peterdennehy67 all-time attendance record for any ⚽️ match in the U.S. 🇺🇸 When 109,318 fans showed up to watch Man United in Michigan in 2014…… so I suspect if Utd were playing in Club World Cup the stadium would actually be full…….

@amitburman @Peterdennehy67 Former players and sycophants infiltrating the media, and dictating the narrative would have us believe thus…

@AdamSalkie @amitburman @RedAntLFC So you are saying you absolutely object to a team winning a cup and being rewarded with a penalty place in a better cup…… but are fine with a team failing in a competition and being given another chance in a different one????

@amitburman @adamross100 @RedAntLFC Sevilla couldn’t have done so this year. They were relegated from the Champions League into Europa League. Another reason the Europa League is even easier this year.

The penalty for failing to qualify for Europe’s top football competition is entry into a second-tier tournament. The reward for winning that second-tier tournament? A place in Europe’s top football competition.

@amitburman @AdamSalkie @RedAntLFC Or even Frankfurt the year before when they finished 11th in Germany. Make sure you check for posts about that also.

@AdamSalkie @adamross100 @RedAntLFC Ok so am assuming you also made this point when Sevilla won the EL in 2023 after finishing 12th in La Liga. I’ll just search your feed.

@AdamSalkie @RedAntLFC @amitburman Hahaha. Only sensitivity I have is to the absurdity of your agenda. A place in CL incentivises clubs in the competition just like a place in Europe for Caribao winner. It makes total sense and always has done.

@adamross100 @RedAntLFC @amitburman No problem if United or Spurs won the FA Cup in them playing in second tier European competition - or when Wigan did the same. You’re struggling to see the difference here. Perhaps it’s your sensitivity, rather than any perceived bitterness?

@AdamSalkie @RedAntLFC Yet you have no issues with a team from League 1 potentially winning the Carabao cup and getting into Europe?? Strange how winners of Europa have always gone into CL yet only become a problem when Utd have a chance of winning. Hmmmmm. Agenda??

@RedAntLFC @adamross100 Another great point 👍

@AdamSalkie To be fair….. that kit they wore tonight is such an abomination I suspect they would be quite happy not to pull it on again…..

There would be several players in our squad, Blues, who wouldn’t be putting a shirt on for me again. Defeats are acceptable; lacking fight, passion and interest never are.

@AdamSalkie @ErlingHaaland What a load of twaddle. CR7 left as best player in world to join his boyhood club where he would be their star player. EH boyhood club is Leeds and he wouldn’t even get in the Madrid team. 10yr contract is insanity for any player - especially a 24 yo who if anything is regressing

When Cristiano Ronaldo was 24 years old, he left United to go to a bigger club. @ErlingHaaland is 24 years old. The difference.

@AdamSalkie @amitburman There are many ‘Utd fans’ who follow Salford as they are unable to get tickets to actual Utd matches so watch an alternative local team……. Not an issue for City fans who have no problems getting tickets.

@amitburman @adamross100 Oh. And lots of “United fans” turned up for the very bitter reasons that you choose to ignore yesterday. They were the ones who were humiliated. Oh, the the bantz!

There’s a beautiful irony in a team part-owned by former Manchester United Academy graduates being dismantled by Manchester City’s Academy graduates. It’s come full circle.

@AdamSalkie @amitburman Not really. I honestly could not care less about Salford, who they play or how they get on…… so certainly don’t see any irony. And the only embarrassment should be City fans getting excited about a team including some kids (note still a number of first team) beating a L2 side

For two of the brightest guys I know, you make excellent comedians. You’re fully aware, though understandably embarrassed, by the obvious irony of yesterday. The only crumb of hope left, as City have usurped United (and ooh yes, it stings), is the endless talk and hypothetical hope that a court case might eventually go the way that the established, entitled bitters desire.

@amitburman @AdamSalkie Maybe he means the irony of a team threatened by relegation for severe breaches of the rules, comfortably beating one of the teams who could soon become their local derby???

@AdamSalkie What’s the irony?

@AdamSalkie Well when you get relegated to league 2 at least you know the football will be happier. #115

That was football with a smile 👏 👏 👏 #MCISAL #FACup

@AdamSalkie Plus fact that he is a forward/goalscorer immediately inflates value.

@AdamSalkie I think value is a relative term based on 5 parameters….. 1. performance, 2. potential, 3. perception, 4. demand, and 5. the need to sell. Rashford struggles with 1 but seems to be high in others.

IF player and club feel that a move is best for Grealish (and I’d be sad), why not swap him for Bruno Guimarães?
