ABU Pundits

Idiots like Redknapp shouldn't be given that kind of platform. You can't just go around putting out that kind of baseless theory.
You wouldn't get that kind of speculation being touted by pundits if any other club rotated a player.
Redknapp is a complete idiot earning thousands talking uninformed rubbish on SkySports.
Amazing how he has stayed employed for so many years.

No you wouldn't, it's just another part of the poisoned chalice that is being the United manager, unfortunately.
Doesn't help when the decision doesn't justify itself either. Garnacho had a so-so game and missed big chances. If he scores and we win then Redknapp wouldn't be able to make this as much of a talking point.
This was wrote in 2003 urging Fergie to quit. Wenger won one more league title. Fergie went on to win 6 more premier league titles.

They're always portrayed as looking like they're worth reading.Look how miserable old Matthew looks there. Could’ve at least looked like he fecking meant what he was saying
Barney Ronay looks like he's inflating a balloon whereas Jonathan Liew seems like he's the smartest guy in the ladies hairdressers.
I was going to make a thread about him being the most pessimistic cnut. I looked at his headlines and he's not so pessimistic but every 2 weeks he seems to have some kind of negative spin on something and 50 per cent of the time it's about United.

Does he still write?
A quick Google shows he was writing political stuff for The Independent up to 2019.
But he topped that 2003 article with this 2005 effort.

Brainless cnut clearly gave up on football not long after that. At least he doesn't bother hiding his biases; "It's the same in football. With the exceptions of Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley at Liverpool, it's hard to think of a great manager who has left at or near the top."
At least the industry realised this and his career went in the shitter.
Probably messages in Christmas cards.
Wait it’s dated end of Feb, so literal weeks before SAF would win the Prem againThis was wrote in 2003 urging Fergie to quit. Wenger never won another title. Fergie went on to win 5 more premier league titles.
It’s dated on my birthday! Norman is a cheeky wanker
Well spotted, that buck wrote it after United drew two matches in a row v Bolton,Man City and were 2nd in the table.
Darren Bent is right up there, shit at his job too.
Also, Wenger did go on to win another title. Invincibles.
I suppose there will be a lot of supporters complaining of the ABU mentality today when the media harps on with the Ineos dropping SAF to slash costs spin even if it isn’t true.
This is true. I think SAF probably wound up opposition fans too.
He works for Talksport. They're essentially encouraged to be ABU on there.
Most pundits are mate, United sells.
True, but pundits on other channels aren't encouraged to be as toxic towards United as Talksport. The tone on there is far worse than anything I've heard on Sky for example.
Talksport are pretty toxic tbf.
Talksport aims for the thickos and idiot football fans of this world. They know what they’re doing and do it well. Angering people who aren’t capable of seeing what they’re obviously trying to do it. It’s pure rage baiting.
He hasnt even joined yet and Souness is already putting him down. This guy so obssessed with Man Utd.

Souness is a weird fella. On one hand he loves putting us down at any given opportunity, on the other hand he'll confidently claim we're the biggest club in England (yes even bigger than his beloved Liverpool by his own admission).
Is that the podcast with Henry Winter? Thankfully he had a far more balanced and measured view on Amorim.
Saw this quote from Souness yesterday:
If Wilcox (17 year playing career, England international, PL winner, 11 years coaching/academy role at City before joining Southampton) isn't a footballing person, who is?

We're supposed to believe the man that brought on Ali Dia "gets football"?
It's a weird narrative that some of those in the media are pedalling that because we're 14th that we must have signed a load of duds in the summer. With the exception of Zirkzee who I have doubts over, I think we've signed 4 really good playersSaw this quote from Souness yesterday:

Why do Sky let Merson comment on Man Utd, he is clearly a massive ABU?
Merson talks gibberish. Sky keep him on because he's a bit of a laugh (mostly laugh at not with though). He's the class clown.
Unfortunately just caught Gabby Agbonlahor on Talksport. He was calling Amad an only okay player & nothing special, De Ligt not a very good signing, all whilst 15 minutes earlier trying to claim that his mate £100m signing Jack Grealish brings so much to City's team that the fact he hasn't scored for over a year doesn't matter.
If you jump into a pool of shit, you can't complain that it stinks.
Yeah I mean the main mistake there is thinking anyone considers Gabby Adbonlahor or talksport serious football punditry.
Its just barely comprehensible drunken pub talk, aimed at the type of people who engage in it rather than go and talk to someone less.

Pundits have written De Ligt before he even played a game
Also he didn't even play last night
Captain obvious from Morrison.
Get a manager in and get signings to suit him, and allow him a pre season to get players trained?
Or lash a tonne load of wad on players who might not even fit the new manager's system, and bring him in right in the thick of the busiest time of the season where you're basically playing or recovering, with very little time to train and learn new shapes etc.
No manager coming in was getting a pre season given that hald the squad wasn't available due to the EURO's and COPA
