The thing that shines through is the passion Man U and Liverpool have for remaining the big boys but in an even more screwed up way, not the passion they have for the football pyramid. The way Parry talks about them is the way tories say they care about poor people and the north

Feel like for the last fifteen years football has been going more and more in the wrong direction. The business element of it has created a chasm between fans and clubs that is slowly being recognised by more and more fans. I’m pretty much done as it stands and I don’t really see a way back, especially with proposals like those above. I’m lucky that I love most sports apart from rugby so I can substitute other sports for it. Would love to get excited about football again but that’s not possible with Ashley and I doubt it would be possible under different owners now either

Looking forward to when Mike Dean fucks off but no doubt we’ll have to suffer him making it all about him when he becomes a referee commentator

On twitch? Have I missed something, have they been showing any other PL games?

Wait is Sir Ricky Sbragia still active on there? I thought he’d stopped posting. Probably one of my favourite accounts ever, the Ken M of football forums

Hahahahaha, not a fan of him as a player, not a fan of him as a person. Should never ever have had a career in top flight football

What a nob, bigging up a no-deal brexit? He’s lived abroad as well, I thought that might have broadened his outlook. I don’t mind him holding those beliefs but it’s a bit much bigging them up

Rafa please, or Poch but he ain’t coming

Absolutely fucking sick of those articles

Pretty torn, went for Barca

Any way we could organise for Coronavirus to do a takeover of Ashley?

He’s the football equivalent of a Trump or Joris Bohnson. Absolutely stacked to the rafters full of shit

Watching him fail is one of the only things I enjoy about football these days

I think Edwards might be losing his mind, his tweets are becoming more deranged as the days go by

At least Benitez (who I liked on the level of Keegan and Bobby, Hughton gets an honourable mention) had an identity and was clearly building that identity and team every game. We are aimless nowadays

Pochettino is probably one of the best without a chequebook and Tottenham binned him, idiots

Rafa forced him, Perez, Rondon and Ronaldo out of the club. Also turned down signing Maguire and TAA. Also told the club to increase ticket prices to piss the fans off. Bruce was against all of this. I heard that Rafa wanted to personally kill some of our academy products, especially the local lads. Rumour has it he tried to throw Longstaff’s brother off a cliff. Bruce had to step in to save him, Newcastle hero that man, bleeds black and white

Hope one of his horses absolutely decks him

Hugely satisfying. Wonder if it was Christmas Tree, that guy was equally insufferable

Hear hear. Shame we don’t have Dave ruling with an iron fist anymore

The handball rule had gotten worse for years but it’s only with VAR that it’s truly started ruining matches on a daily basis. How a team can get such a huge advantage as a penalty from something that’s completely innocuous most of the time is a joke

He owns a big high street business in the UK, not like one of those foreign owners you see so much of nowadays. He’s one of our own. He’s also a horrific human being towards his staff. I think those are all valuable attributes in Britain 2019, at least to the PFM lads

Embarrassing listening to him bleat on. Just do your job and get us relegated

No goals in this side, finishing 5th that season was propelled by absurd goal scoring efforts that defied belief. We played fucking shit despite finishing 5th. We will be one of the lowest scoring teams in the league this season

I believe Rafa entirely. Ashley’s an absolute shyster who will try any trick in the book to fuck other people over. Rafa is a gent who is absolutely obsessed with football and getting the absolute best results for whichever team he works for. He deserves to be paid handsomely for being an incredible ambassador, professional and brilliant manager. Ashley deserves to have his head shoved in a toilet filled with shit on an hourly basis
