I think the unfortunate, uncomfortable truth is that genuine alcoholics can't just have the odd one or two and be in control of it. And if you set out to try and do that, then the inevitable outcome will sooner or later be another three or four day bender that started with the intention of just having one or two and being in control of it. Complete abstinence has to be the goal. Even that comes with no guarantees, but it's at least an acceptance of the reality of the situation. Apologies if I sound like a pontificating cunt, but there you go.

Alan Brazil's up in arms, but I suspect that's cos it's interfering with his beer money.

Facu Cold Medina.

If you're talking about Ferguson, he's already been sacked. His ambassadorial role comes to an end at the end of this season. Another of Big Jim's cost cutting initiatives.

There's a charity called the Association of Former Manchester United Players that looks after players from previous eras who don't have the sort of money the modern players get. They haven't received their last two quarterly payments from the club (it usually pays 4 x £10k per year), and when they've got in touch they've been told the club is ending its association with the charity. They reckon they might fold now. Ratcliffe is an absolute scumbag. I bet this isn't the only community related thing he's pulling funding for. They deserve fuck all success under this bloke.

They haven't got a load of PSR headroom, I don't think. The Man United journos at the Athletic were talking about them being quite tight up against it now after putting all their eggs in the Dutch Genius's basket. They've got saleable assets though. If they got rid of Rashford for decent money, that would be all profit.

Possibly. But we wouldn't have seen it this season. Howe trusts Murphy and the kid is raw as fuck so would be unlikely to have seen much game time at all. £30m for a lad that was a totally unknown quantity in the PL was good business for us.

We got £30m based on potential alone too. If Brighton tried to flog him at the end of this season, I'm not sure they could get £30m for him.

Promising youngster that may or may not make it at the top level at all, never mind at the level we want to be at. It'll be a shame if he ends up that good, but it's overwhelmingly likely that he won't.

Posts in the key of wykiki: The media darlings are being held 0-0 at home to Brentford. That's Lineker's weekend fucked.

Aye don't have another one today, and I think it was Meenzer suggested a group last time. Look them up. This will be much easier with other people that understand what you're going through.

Watched this poor cunts video when we battered them last season, so the algorithm has served up a repeat. He seems a canny kid tbf, pretty balanced about them and us, not like the knobs on that forum. I wouldn't be watching if we hadn't clouted them again though.

This is canny.

The way people went on about him 6 month ago, you would have been mistaken for thinking he was the next Jack Clarke. He's decent for his age, and is currently horribly exposed playing at a club with that profile and in that much bother. There's another 10 PL clubs he'd have a better chance of building a career at, which is a pretty sad indictment of the current state of that lot. I just think on NYE everybody should raise a glass to Jim Ratcliffe, Dave Brailsford, and the sadly departed Eric Ten Hag for the entertainment they've provided in the last 12 months, and the entertainment they're sure to continue providing in 2025.

Apparently Emery was ranting on in the tunnel and Tindall, fucking knowing how annoying it would be, just kept shushing him. That's what kicked it all off cos a load of their players reacted. Lovely stuff. That's according to Hope's YouTube patter.

Yeah but only one of us thinks it's their job to audit and log every post on here, so YOU get to FUCK OFF.

The easy ride Amorim is getting btw. I actually think he does need time cos they're a bit of a mess, but compare their plight to when Howe turned up here, and it's a million miles apart. They shouldn't have lost 4 of his first 5 PL games but they have, and because the club has so many media mates it's basically just fine.

Didn't realise this was the picture on Tindall's hoodie until just now:

Shearer and Joe Hart. All three said he was very unlucky to get a red. All three completely wrong.

MOTD reckoned Duran was unlucky cos once he's turned his ankle all bets are off and the only sensible place for him to put his right foot was all up the back of Schar. Obviously horseshit. He looks like he's got a bit of a hair trigger, and I suspect this won't be the last time we see him get in bother.

Lived in Helensbrugh, unless he's moved. Looked a lush place btw, right next to Loch Lomond.
