The majority of Man City fans on my timeline seem to be of the same IQ of most Trump supporters after they lost the 2020 election. We have irrefutable evidence, we just didn’t see the point in using it…

This is our bench now… From Jaouen Pope Burn Schar Livramento Steur Joelinton Bamba Murphy Willock Toure Osula/Wissa Ramsey And people are crying because we’ve kept Willock and Murphy. For the first time in many many years we have a squad and we have options. #NUFC

I’d have preferred the adverts to be honest. #worldcup #fifaworldcup

If you play 11 men behind the ball you create an extra forward and no outlet. Why do we never ever understand that. Kane on the halfway line and he’s marked by two and they have an outlet. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. #england

I’ve been very critical of this England team, and I STILL think he got the squad wrong but bloody hell. What a performance. Brilliant.

Recently, FIFA suspended Nepal’s football federation over government interference. Several federations have faced sanctions for the same reason. Now we learn the White House made a direct call to FIFA asking Infantino to review Balogun’s red card. FIFA insists the decision was handled by an independent disciplinary panel and could not be influenced externally. But how is a direct call from a government to FIFA over a player’s suspension not, at the very least, political interference?

Football can be really simple. Get the ball, move it forward at speed. Get the ball in the box and score. It’s something that seems to have gone out of the modern game but that first England goal was a very good English goal. #worldcup #engmex

Southgate never beat the big teams was the cry of the last 8-10 years… but he overachieved as his teams constantly took apart the smaller teams. This England team, squad, set up is disjointed. Poorly selected and performed poorly.

Just watched a documentary on the Great Fire of London where a French foreigner was blamed and hanged. It’s the exact same energy as the 1923 Tokyo earthquake, where Koreans were scapegoated for the fires and violence. 🧵

Centuries change and technology evolves, but the playbook is identical. Look at the UK right now—every structural failure is blamed on foreigners. We are still running on the exact same primitive psychology.

Anthony Gordon has gone from being an ‘overpriced’ 40 million pound player to one worth 70 million plus in a short few seasons. All the pre impressive as he’s been coached by a manager that is supposed to be on a par with Steve Bruce… #nufc

The best example of the #nufc fans on here… “Howe should not be playing Pope as he won’t be first choice next season” Any ideas on who he SHOULD be playing in goal to prepare for next season?

Bored of fans trying to say we should have got a penalty for the shove on Burn. Law 12. The ball must be in play for it to be a freekick or penalty. It wasn't. So even if the ref had seen it, it would have remained a free kick.

Ball deflects off players arm to hit a Newcastle arm Penalty. Ball floats over the box and hits an outstretched psg arm… clearly no handball. Utter joke #nufc

We’ve had some very good midfielders in my life time but I can’t think of a better midfield than we currently have. Tonali, Bruno and Joelinton are a dream. I can’t understand how any manager thought a midfield two would match or better them. #MUNNEW #nufc

Two thoughts on the transfer window… 1) we didn’t want the absolute panic selling that we had to endure in June to happen again. 2) We’re banking on city winning their court case against the premier league and it being proven to be in breach of British law. And we go mad in jan

Obviously I have absolutely no clue as to what happened but this feels better than we f’d up

Why are we defending a corner in the 5th minute with everyone back? Where’s the outlet? It’s just inviting pressure.
