Headline should read: âHollow Fulham-based club bending as many rules as possible while everyone acts like it is completely normal and within boundsâ
Mark Galante (@markgalante.dev) reply parent
âLet's add that to the words of wisdom.â
Mark Galante (@markgalante.dev) reply parent
You did miss Amorim questioning every decision he made in his life that got him to the point where Bruno needed to score a 96th minute penalty to get him a much-needed win.

Mark Galante (@markgalante.dev) reply parent
Fair enough on him. Those dickheads have that affect on you.
Mark Galante (@markgalante.dev) reply parent
Turns out saying âwe want this fucker out ASAPâ doesnât increase a playerâs value.
Mark Galante (@markgalante.dev) reply parent
I'm not against him staying but I'm also not going to be against it if, or more likely when, he goes this season.

How the fuck do we manage to severely expose serial winning managers from Netherlands and Portugal? The whole "Netherlands is not on the level of the Premier League" argument falls a bit flat when you look at Slot. #MUFC

Am I seeing a back four of De Ligt, Harrance, Dalot and Mount or was my 1 glass of wine too much?
Mark Galante (@markgalante.dev) reply parent
If I guess, it might be because he has practically retired and is just here to train, keep fit and only play if our other goalkeepers are unable to.
Mark Galante (@markgalante.dev)
đ” âAre you Scunthorpe in disguise?â đ” Fair fucks to Grimsby fans. #MUFC

I need a lot of convincing that Tom Heaton isnât our best goalkeeper.
Mark Galante (@markgalante.dev) reply parent
Ugarte completely overpowered in the build-up to that goal.
Mark Galante (@markgalante.dev)
When is it going to end, Robbie? #MUFC
Mark Galante (@markgalante.dev) reply parent
Heâll lose a lot of the limited credit he has if we end up losing Kobbie, especially when he appears to favour Ugarte as a suitable substitute for Casemiro.
Mark Galante (@markgalante.dev) reply parent
They look like winners?!
Mark Galante (@markgalante.dev) reply parent
Like Ed mentioned on the last @nqatpod.bsky.social pod, losing Kobbie is losing so much more than a footballer.
Mark Galante (@markgalante.dev) reply parent
No way heâs 35 and not 21.

Will it count towards PSR?
Mark Galante (@markgalante.dev) reply parent
I wouldnât say Iâm an expert but Iâve read the laws of the game and the handball rule is one of the few well-defined rules the game has.
Mark Galante (@markgalante.dev) reply parent
I certainly donât expect them to be experts in the laws of the game. They are very good at analysing players, especially those who play in their respective positions.
Mark Galante (@markgalante.dev) reply parent
Not sure I do, sadly. The laws of the game certainly disagree with you.

His body moved towards the ball. His arm was attached to the body at the time.
Mark Galante (@markgalante.dev) reply parent
Arm moving towards the ball â Arm making the body unnaturally bigger â You almost laugh at the incompetence these days, even if your football team was on the wrong end.
Mark Galante (@markgalante.dev) reply parent
An incredibly moving piece of writing. I also tend to associate periods of my life with United and other sporting events.

I remember watching United under uncle Ralf thinking âwell done, son. Youâve witnessed the worst youâll see for a long time. Itâll only get betterâ. #MUFC
Mark Galante (@markgalante.dev) reply parent
Just like our players.

Football? Never heard of him.

Itâll be interesting to see how we manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. #MUFC

Maradona good, Pele better, Harrance Maguire.

Might as well. I hear itâs lovely at this time of year.

The weird irony where South Africans generally have a tough time getting visas for the US but a South African has essentially bought the US.

Supporting a sports team is both the worst and best thing you can ever do.

Who knew that we all needed David Moyes back at Everton to get some good old-fashioned Barclays?
Mark Galante (@markgalante.dev)
United have been incredibly poor all season and there has never been a point where I thought âwe could really do with Jadon Sanchoâ.
Mark Galante (@markgalante.dev)
2025 just needs to chill the fuck out.

A quintessential South African experience is that deep feeling of regret after eating at Spur đżđŠ I highly recommend it.

I love how Xcode is just like "here's some 25GB cache fuck you". I really respect that level of chutzpah.
Mark Galante (@markgalante.dev) reply parent
Iâm really struggling to believe that these players are not able to adapt to Amorimâs system at all. We saw them perform against City. They have it in them. Itâs there. I struggle to see anything but a complete lack of professional pride.

I cannot wait for the next international break.

You asked for a win. What else do you want? A Lamborghini? Maybe ask for something more realistic: like a goal đ€·

Bluesky feels like the first time we all tried Twitter, when real people were actually behind the accounts.

Disappointing time to support Manchester United. The club had an opportunity to support equal rights for- and inclusion of- the LGBTQI+ community, but they buckled to a homophobe who is a good football player and has played for the club for less than 6 months.
