I wonder what "skill set" they're referring too given several managers can't seem to find a way to suit it.

Exactly. Still young.

I think the one I use is called Bypass Paywalls Clean

Yeah it just runs a script through the web browser preventing the pop up asking you to pay for it. Will work for every publication that tries to do that.

Yep bang on. The guy is a grifter first and foremost. Spreading the lie was just another grift, he raised so much god damn money long passed when he could even try to litigate anything related. Kushner got bailed out of that 5th avenue? the iconic street I believe in NY where he was losing a fortune on a development project and all of sudden the Saudi's bought it out for well above market price. This is all along the timeline of when MBS assassinated the journalist in the Saudi consolate in Istanbul. Trump was one of the few that wouldnt connect MBS to that despite the mountain of evidence and even the CIA statements/conclusions and even his fellow republicans back then. Trumps first visit was also to the Saudi's as president if I recall.

I'm convinced the guy only cares about two things: his own ego and his bank balance. Him being president allowed him to funnel a lot of money into his hotels and golf courses (especially as he'd force the Secret Service security detail into staying at those hotels/golf course resorts - and he golfed fucking constantly). Once he was no longer president, he couldn't just funnel US treasury money into his bank balance. I don't think it's really coincidental that Jared Kushner got $2b from Saudis for an unspecified investment - I think they've been doing illegal deals.

The player power at United is just so toxic. The people are morons, so they won't do this, but they should be doing it to protect their investment in the club so they can keep leaching money through dividends... because it seems obvious (and they should know this as the owners of Tampa Bay's NFL team) - but being good and winning will make them make more money than being mediocre. Perhaps they were so simple, they thought signing Cristiano Ronaldo would be the same as signing Tom Brady with Tampa Bay... but it shows a critical lack of understanding of the numerous problems United have on the pitch and in the dressing room. But what they've really got to do is clear out a shitload of these dickhead players that think that because they're at Manchester United it means they're world class so they don't have to up their game. And that because they're "world class" in their minds, they think they know better than their manager. Your skipper with the massive slab for a head saying things like "I must be good, because I am picked every week" despite playing like shit and United suffering for it (regardless of any international goals against sides like the absolutely massive footballing powerhouse of San Marino) just sort of exemplifies what is wrong with the players at the club. That's the captain not taking responsibility for his own bad performances or for his team constantly underperforming. No fan wants to see that - they want to see their captain be a link between the fans and the players, someone who can be honest enough to say "I'm not having the best season, my teammates aren't having the best season... but we're stopping at nothing to try to right the ship." You know... a leader in the dressing room... a captain. And if that's the guy who's meant to be the squad's leader... I think it's safe to say that the club is full of players with an attitude that think they deserve success and think they don't actually have to work for it. Ego and entitlement only get you so far when you're trying to compete against sides that have the talent and desire to be truly competitive. And sure, those clubs definitely have players with massive egos as well... but at least they back up their ridiculous egos by having the talent and desire to show they're amongst the best in the country and the continent. What the fuck have these United players done in the past few seasons to back up these egos? The only one I can really think of is Ronaldo winning stuff at Real Madrid and Juve... and tbh, that's not just down to Ronaldo. He thinks he might be too good to not be playing in Europe... but he's part of that squad that failed to qualify for the CL.

How many managers have these cunts thrown under a bus? But yeah, nobody can manage their ‘skill set’. The only skill they have is managing to act like professional footballers whilst being utterly fucking wank.

Always mate, always. Was at the first fight, was something special. Hoping AJ can become a 3x Champ here, Usyk is P4P number one for me, so going to be some ask.

Wow that happened pretty quickly, if true. The ego of these players is remarkable. It takes some gall being way understands for multiple seasons and then telling the manager "nah we don't want to learn your new tactics, we think you should do things the way our last permanent manager that got sacked did things." Take the time to learn the fucking new system and learn how to adapt rather than just give up immediately.

I think it's a mix of modern tactics sort of leaving the position he's best in behind & him not really adapting. And being lazy in training means managers think he doesn't take his career seriously - and it's not like it looks like he's worked particularly hard at finding a way to make a role for himself at a club outside of playing the role he's best in. The laziness isn't going to fly with a lot of managers in this era of football if you want to compete at the top end of the league and in Europe, nor is being unable or unwilling to adapt to new roles to allow for the manager to make a system that gets the best out of more players. He's a good example of why talent alone doesn't necessarily mean you'll be a good player. You need the right attitude to go with that talent.

In one ear, out the other.

Mourinho and Ole emphasized a counter attacking game. These players have been far too comfortable playing a protective game vs taking the initiative/front foot, particularly in big matches. I did say that United need to stick with ten Hag, but the biggest worry is his naivety of the Premier League.

If you’re Alli, surely this is the moment where you think “fuck me, I need to sort my life out” and get focused back on football. If he ends up at Besiktas, his career is done.

SLS rocket with Orion spacecraft has succesfully arrived to the launch pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center ahead of the first Artemis-I mission launch attempt. We have three potential launch windows as of now: August 29, 14:33 CET September 2, 18:48 CET September 5, 23:12 CET So it's less than 12 days to go to the first launch opportunity! So excited about it; I want everything to go well so that we get to see people back to the Moon as soon as possible!

When PSG suggest a player is too hard work it's a pretty big red flag.

I see it as a good thing.

Very old fashioned. Typical baby boomer question.

I dunno, it is an odd idea to think about one night stands and failed relationships. That doesn't sound very fulfilling

For anyone interested, Hayes lays out in order all of the timeslines and excuses attempted to be rolled out by the retrumplicans and the little man himself surrounding the docs and the Mar a Lago search. Stops just shy of the 9 min mark and then continues into other stuff. One of the better layouts Ive seen of events anyways.

On a serious note though - pretty shit question to ask someone isn’t it?

We’ve pulled the Rabiot deal. His mum was demanding 375k a week on parity with De Gea ffs. Get in the sea you silly old cunt.

Said it couple of years ago but apart from Glazers, one of the biggest cancers of the club are the ex-United players (yes, most of them were great players for the club) that are working on TV nowadays.

Neville in the press saying that if United sell Ronaldo, they could finish in the bottom half. I think it's a load of shite to be honest. Of course he'll bang in hat-tricks whenever Man Utd dominate a game but you can't avoid building the team around him if you're going to play him and it won't work for them. This whole transfer saga over the summer and the constant drama with him storming off the pitch when they lose, refusing to clap the away end, arguing with the bench, etc., which has already reared it's head at Brentford, it's all a bit toxic. The guy can't help making himself the story and as long as he's around I don't see Man Utd being able to focus on their priorities. Ten Hag genuinely should just say to him, if you're not committed to this football club then you can train on your own and find yourself a move. I saw a report today that Ten Hag actually wasn't arsed if Ronaldo left and it was Joel Glazer who has been fighting to keep him. I don't know if it's true but it wouldn't surprise me.

I’ll send you back to England in a pine box ya dopey eyed cunt
