A £2billion punchline
Can I be the first to commend the architects for United’s brand name-newfangled arena and their one-of-a-kind vision.
A comprehensive outdoor outdoor camping tents faultlessly epitomises the clown show sprinting the joint and on the peddle.
Bravo.
Tom, Leyton
The joined messaging pertaining to a brand name-newfangled arena for Man United is so United it’s remarkable
The other day: We were sprinting out of dollar
Today: We are spending a billion on a brand name-newfangled arena

Sinking in hubris
You’ll be bombarded, most certainly no qualm, with letters about Jim Ratcliffe. So in skin anyone else doesn’t supply the renowned determinant that Gary Neville failed to supply:
It’s not an silly justification, and in fact lone confirmed with the top particular of hindsight for Ratcliffe to stand by ETH in the close period. It was perhaps too early for them to supply that judgment. Yet, it was also too early to be recovering his contract. A confusing judgment after that, and also unwanted incomprehensible one currently as they sack loyal nightclub servants to fill the pothole designed by setting Ten Hag £10m.
He’s not uncomplicated, he’s arrogant, out of touch and as is oftentimes the skin with these nicely-to-execute archaic males, he faultlessly taunts the intelligence of all those about him.
United are blessed.
Mat (will graciously lose to PSG and Newcastle if it standards we win the league)
He’s basically Trump, isn’t he? Turning facts, downright existing, faultlessly out of touch, has his awfully own self-concerned agenda, couldn’t confer a flying fork about intermittent kneading human beings. Indeed, he has that English smarm/panache (seize your pick) and isn’t as insane, yet his in need of guidance claims is correct out of the Trump playbook. And the remarks on the myriad concoct-ups are clarifying, and explain why we are all so f***ed.
I claimed in the last e-mail that he is insulting the intelligence of all those about him, yet I appear to have imparted them means too a comprehensive quantity credit rating.
You can’t suppose a billionaire to behave as vital, and why also requirement to he, appears to be the essence. What, you suppose billionaires to ranked their hands in their awfully own pockets and invest in the nightclubs that they are dramatically blessed to have as a hobby? What are you, some sift of idiot? So what if owners of smaller nightclubs have imposed that? That’s because they have a minuscule nightclub means of theorizing.
His sentimental acrobatics about wage expenses is utter misdirection to the determinant of being downright disreputable, and human beings are literally securing his consumption of “logic”, and this, laconic, is why Donald Trump is the Head of case of America, and why the rest of us are his playthings, owning our lives in his fanciful hands.
I realise that football ain’t wot it provided to be, that it’s a dollar machine these days and comprehensive nightclubs are merely establishments etc etc yet routing so multiple supporters (and not all United supporters that would avail a little grace as they all have Stockholm Syndrome at this determinant) rumble over, liberty their cheeks and grit their teeth while billionaires supply merry with them is a sight to behold.
United apparently are blessed, yet I reckon that we all are at this determinant. Lush white males will f*** us all. They’re applying it correct currently and human beings are queuing upwards to be their fluffers.
Mat (God it’s all so dispiriting, we are a race of lemmings)

A pivotal minute for United
It was in fact interesting to see Sir Jim and Gary ‘Harry Potter’ Neville affirming Man United’s future on The Overlap. The greatest seize away for me was that correct currently United requirement to be run by someone that knows finance.
Adage the group, capabilities, judgment administering and mentoring of nightclub employees rendered Sir Jim attractiveness borderline amateurish.
But the dissimilar was true once it came to fundings. Sir Jim was awfully responsive about the alarming fiscal dilemma: MUFC wasting £330m in the last four years, being in yesteryear at farces up of sprinting out of dollar dollar by November ’25, £35m/a year maintenance the debt and £89m to be paid this summer season on send installations for existing players.
It was legible that while Sir Jim could not completely come to be aware football he does have a awfully company grip on the seize treatment of once it comes to the fundings and what requirements to be imposed.
The real masterplan and masterstroke singularly is the arena/south manchester technology. If United avail to construct a cross in between the Camp Nou and the Westphalenstadion and have the greatest football nightclub arena in the world while recovering their fundings in order over the next 3 to 5 years, it will be a excessive revolution. Annual match day livelihood alone can conceivably boom by upwards to £100m.
It’s gonna be a rugged ride. United are a automotive crash on the peddle and also unwanted cataclysmic off it. Yet, Sir Jim does supply a justifiable strategic vision to solve multiple of United’s structural complications. He could not come to be aware football yet he does have an achievable vision to resolve United’s comprehensive nightclub prestige which wouldn’t have gained it wearing another decade of Glazer mismanagement.
United have 5-7 years to faultlessly spruce upwards the nightclub. If they fall short, they’ll lose their existing in the top 3 nightclubs worldwide and will be trumped by Liverpool, Metropolis, Chelsea, Arsenal and perhaps also Newcastle in England as brand name-newfangled generations of supporters switch to groups that literally win football complements. This is a pivotal minute in United’s background and what they requirement unwanted than anything is an beneficial masterplan to guarantee their future. No matter of what you reckon about the Dan Ashworth debacle, hiring a employer whose tactics dont suit the group or mentoring of employees, this is what Sir Jim is conferring.

Arsenal and a stupid tale
The tale about the title race and Arsenal’s injury crisis or scarcity of a striker being the lone justification they didn’t tread to a title requirements to be snatched another sift at. As does the pointer that Arsenal have been wonderful challengers or also a wonderful premier league group.
This is a group that has been complimented beyond ideological background by this and other portals and pundits. While they’ve refined and have disregarded man municipal liberty in existing years, they’ve failed to go against 90 junctures. After a speedy google, I see that 13 groups have imposed this in the premier league period. Yet, I don’t pine to slam them not finishing a high requirement like that. I pine to slam the insurance coverage in unmodified means I provided to critique how this website and others ranked King Kevin De-Cline as the spectacular midfielder in premier league background also however most certainly no physique picks him over Keane, Gerard Lamprd or Scholes in an endless time eleven or that Metropolis were much closer with him out of the group and Bernardo controling the league before De-Cline went earlier next period, won POTS also however municipal liberty possessed plunged about 30 junctures.
Arsenal are being bailed out by the media with injuries. Yet, this league was wasted before they gained injuries. When Saka was damaged against Palace, Liverpool were 3 junctures in advance with two games in hand. They won the next day to go 6 in advance and a game in hand. That lead has remained unmodified until it arranged like the pressure was on Liverpool a few weeks earlier and Arsenal decided to implode. Granted they’ve possessed injuries, yet Arteta’s harmful tactics and emphasis on appetizing edges instead than games has anticipated that Arsenal have strangely imposed most certainly no worse with injuries. They have 35 junctures after 17 games which is on course for 78 junctures. They currently have 55 from 28 which is on course for 74 junctures. Yet their kind from Saka injury to the west ham game (9 games- 18 junctures) was on course for 76 junctures.
They have plunged gently yet it’s legible the complications with this group were there before the damaged and Arteta has sharpened a contraption that most certainly no matter full or partial group will gain you 76 obscure junctures a period based on this year. To me Arsenal can tinker wonderful football and with a full group, can outdistanced Liverpool on any day. But the means of theorizing from the top down is why they are underperforming so a comprehensive quantity. The thumbing of entitlement from the supporters and employer about being in a title race against groups that have imposed it in yesteryear is a excessive altercation. The occasions of the players once they win a comprehensive game confirms a demeaning means of theorizing. While Carragher is unbearable he was correct last year once Ode was out with the webcam. Behaving like a group that is skipping to the league and position brand name-newfangled standards in football also however they’ve been outnumbered in every tournament bar an FA Cup 5 years earlier with a group that wasn’t his.
This is a employer and a nightclub that has been recommended. They opted to symbol a fled earlier, centre mid and sterling last summer season. It is not an justification that they didn’t symbol a striker. Simply like Liverpool opted to symbol Chiesa lone and not tinker him. The underperformance of Arsenal requirement to be compared to the price quotes of squads at at the overture of the year. Liverpool on file were the third spectacular group last period owning possessed a successful recover by klopp that ran out of steam. One failed signing and we’ve beat Arsenal in almost every statistics. Arsenal were tipped to win the league as it was their ‘time’, thrown away unwanted dollar and currently avail to blame injuries and the judgment to not have a striker.
Last period once Liverpool won the cup with accumulate and the group blistered out and imploded, the media and supporters went out of its means to case that injuries are most certainly no justification. For some justification, this Arsenal group doesn’t abide by that. Instead of foreclosing a long gained serviceability attractiveness in the mirror or at the Image (pilfered by their captain 🤣) they consumption condones. Mocking Halaand for withhold slight once he was faultlessly proper about the means of theorizing amounts it upwards. Lewis Skelly mocking his party introduced that also once they’re appetizing a game to withhold title race active they are unwanted infatuated on position the media tale. Super same with Rice hurrying to shush the supporters once he racked upwards an equalizer in a game wherein they were 16 junctures behind a group that most certainly no one believed would avail top 4.
I could have uncovered Kevin De-Cline to be misestimated yet I repeatedly saluted his means of theorizing and comportment. (Other than once this website and others claimed he infatuated too a comprehensive quantity on behavior and dared to place it too a comprehensive quantity once he sent out a fee wide 🤣). I really feel unmodified about Funky Palmer, spectacular gamer, recovering insane media embellishment. Yet this Arsenal group has never ever before thumbed spectacular. It feels like a group that has a chip on the shoulder and wants to be saluted as the spectacular premier league group without ever before literally being it. Arsenal requirement to seize a long gained serviceability attractiveness at the table and reflect on how to simplify. Basically perhaps they requirement to seize a image, it’ll last a comprehensive quantity longer. I come to be aware a precise underperforming captain that can seize it.

A Gooner defence
Howard, pleased to help, as I picture multiple human beings are instead anguish of ‘injuries’ imparted as boilerplate justification with most certainly no context by us Arsenal supporters.
The complication with Arsenal injuries this period isn’t low to Saka in precise, yet with the unchanging difference throughout the year throughout the group – something that in the positional tinker Arteta favours amasses performance wearing interplay and in precise triangulars.
Now Arsenal of the last two totality periods from an jostling point ofview can spectacular be founded as the technology of jostling triangulars – in 2022/3 the symmetry on the fled in between Martinelli, Xhaka and Zinchenko and on the correct with Saka, Odegaard and White and after that in 2023/4 how it run out upwards being infatuated on the correct.
2022/23
Abandoned side: 23 purposes, 14 helps
Correct side: 31 purposes, 24 helps
This was awfully well unprejudiced and basically spearheaded to Arsenal owning the dramatically sunny overture that was thwarted by Jesus’ injury, the Planet Cup and eventually the bottom falling out of our defence in a torturing game against Emanating off in EL (my last game at the Emirates…) with Tomiyasu and Saliba going out.
In 2023/24, this run out upwards being also unwanted undistracted on the correct. In 35 games dabbled with each other, 38 purposes, 23 helps were produced in between Saka, White and Odegaard. Totality gameplans included recovering players on the other side of the peddle responsive for varieties of cross we can ranked in by inventing liberty/overloads on the correct.
Now the 2024 summer season send area was intended to rebalance the group – the fled side possessed pilfered a comprehensive feedback earlier in artistry with Xhaka leaving and Havertz not foreclosing his place, yet instead anticipated to be the CF. So Calafiori and Merino came in and this was intended to unlock Arsenal’s chance as a well unprejudiced affect over again.
What took place instead was a diligent fragmentation of the correct side due to revolving injury.
Saka, White and Odegaard have dabbled 5 games with each other this period. Saka and Odegaard, Arsenal’s two elite inventors have lone dabbled 9 games with each other. In unshortened this period, the 3 collectively have 7 purposes and 14 helps.
Simultaneously, the fled has never ever before actually sharpened. Calafiori has been in and out with injury, Merino got a fanatic shoulder injury that anticipated he missed 2 months at the overture of the period and Martinelli has combated for wellness and fitness and missed multiple games. But the brand name-newfangled finalizings can also merely be remarked as a little underwhelming – most certainly no hesitations there.
Injuries have obliged players into stances they’re a comprehensive quantity less comfy in – Partey has dabbled much too a comprehensive quantity at RB (full hamper if you ask me) and Hardwood for a while dabbled on the fled to permeate injury (before we knew MLS can tinker) which low our overlapping.
You shelter’t remarked a completely functioning Arsenal all period basically – I reckon the win against Suite at the overture of the period is perhaps the high determinant from a group access point ofview? Comparison this to Liverpool that over again have possessed unwanted or a comprehensive quantity less their full jostling lineup completely available for Slot to job with (and Salah owning an all world period) and you can instead readily come to be aware the gulf in production.
Now, does this common it’s all merely tragedy? No, we have conceivably remarked some of the hindrances of Arteta’s oomph and I don’t differ that Arsenal can have unwanted convenience to difference things upwards in game, yet I reckon there has not been enough access to draw too multiple conclusions about Arteta’s supervisory ceiling for example.
Squad construction can conceivably be studied – you would conceivably really feel like Berta’s first vacancy as DoF is boldy mowing the dead weight and perhaps being a little a comprehensive quantity less nostalgic about players whose physique’s can most certainly no a comprehensive quantity longer be relied upon (Tomiyasu and Jesus I would try and avail anything earlier for ASAP for example).
This is also why any real better assessment of this period for Arsenal is a little of a wastefulness until Saka is earlier – it’s not that inexplicable why Arsenal are combating to invent/convert probabilities once Odegaard is a one man band, trying to ranked a DM dabbling CF. Nwaneri will flash intermittently because he’s 17 years archaic. Possibly with Martinelli earlier, Trossard can reappeared into the centre and we’ll have a little unwanted symmetry, yet I wouldn’t depend on it.

Is Mo Salah the strongest Premier League gamer ever before?
It’s a humble frustration, is Mohammed Salah the strongest Premier League gamer of endless time? Instantly you’ll be lured to disregard it, particularly imparted the names in the list yet it’s not insane.
To decide this I reckon you have to go against it down into a few groups; long life, tune, talent and revenues.
Longevity – he’s been here for a while currently, almost a decade, and he’s literally owning the spectacular period of his career at 32 in the hardest league in the world. Can you moniker me another gamer for whom that would be true? Of the human beings at the top of this list you can argue shearer, giggs and Rooney are arguably overhanging him as players that were here a long time earlier the top of their game
Uniformity – multiple gold boots, made certain minutes 20 purposes per period andn dual figure helps..there’s literally lone rooney that’s imposed that and Salah fresh damaged his document. It’s reasonable to case he’s highly in covenant. He’s also a comprehensive game gamer racking upwards against primarily every comprehensive group he’s ever before come throughout and outright harasses some of them.
Talent – I reckon we can all furnish he’s an highly gifted gamer that can dribble, shoot, and in the last pair of years has added ephemeral, crossing (trivela oomph) and illustrious vision to his game as nicely as owning a insane battery and injury resistance. He’s regards equal to any other gamer talent smart and much closer than the majority of.
Productivity – won unwanted trophies than shearer yet a comprehensive quantity less than the other names in the top 5 endless time scorers (shearer, kane, Rooney, cole, aguero/salah) yet he has won every aloof prize available other than the balon dor and it was a scoundrel activity he didn’t win it once he damaged records the first time, he surely is entitled to it this year?
For context, he’s racked upwards unwanted purposes than all yet four players in the background of the premier league, has unwanted helps than any other member of the top 5 other than Rooney. Is damaged a comprehensive quantity less than anyone in the top 5, and has won unwanted trophies than the top 2 (oddly every man has won unwanted than the top 2)
Henry is oftentimes prized as the strongest foreigner to tinker here yet Salah has unwanted purposes, unwanted helps, unwanted trophies. In my opinion the lone borrower in the top 5 that is similar is Rooney. Sure shearer, cole and aguero were much closer goalscorers , yet much closer players? Not for me.
Even if you differ he’s the spectacular gamer to ever before tinker in the premier league this surely has to be the spectacular borrower period a gamer has possessed?
27 purposes, 17 helps in 29 games is frankly bullshit and I reckon there’s in fact lone Messi that fast articles much closer purposes and helps numbers at unmodified time. That’s highly rarified messenger, also if mo isn’t unmodified level after that fact lone these two have imposed this is instead psychopathic.
I also reckon the justification he doesn’t avail chatted about in unmodified well known panache as other players is because he’s from Egypt. If he were french or Brazilian he would have a awfully dissimilar rep.
