Orwell died 70 years ago today. Here’s my piece for Penguin Books UK on the enduring greatness of Nineteen Eighty-Four penguin.co.uk/articles/2019/…

Here’s the most likely scenario, working backwards from the thing that is most import to the Glazers - the semi-annual dividend. United will not make next season's Champs League. If this was actually important to the club, there would have been investment in the summer 1/

Revealing piece on the Glazers’ other little project. Which seems to be going ever so well.

Piece on #MUFC’s bleak defeat to Burnley, at a bleak Old Trafford last night. For @alIaboutunited. allaboutunited.co.uk/united-no-long…

It doesn’t matter how low United fall, Alex Ferguson still ruined your childhood and you’re never getting it back.

Most of us accept that dominating doesn’t last forever. But there’s a difference here. Our club is being bled dry. It’s not just a period of transition for United. It’s managed decline. And it’s the hopelessness that hurts. allaboutunited.co.uk/united-no-long…

Last shout for this, which I wrote after #MUFC’s defeat to Burnley. We can take not winning football matches, but we’ve spent six and a half years watching our club slip away before our eyes. That’s what hurts. For @alIaboutunited. allaboutunited.co.uk/united-no-long…

Why anyone would believe a word the club says anymore is beyond me. I wrote about Ed Woodward’s record when it comes to telling the truth a few weeks ago, for @alIaboutunited, and Chris is right, this stinks of the same old bullshit. allaboutunited.co.uk/the-ed-woodwar…

*Sánchez’s first interview back at United* Sánchez: I actually hate dogs. I’m more of a cat guy. Us all: Damn.

Happens all the time. Media accounts tweet the lines they know will be incendiary and cause a pile-on when read in isolation, without the slightest bit of context. Which means more of those sweet sweet clicks and retweets.

Surgeon 1: “Is that a kidney?” Surgeon 2: “Looks a bit like one.” Surgeon 1: “Good enough. Whip it out.”

Woodward mused.

“We wanted to send him a message,” said Sun source, Jed Goodward, to a Sun reporter who just happened to be stationed outside Ed Woodward’s home, while a passing Sun photographer took some snaps.

Weird this. I thought Ole didn’t get angry and was too nice to manage United. It’s almost as if we know absolutely nothing about what he’s like behind the scenes.

Woodward’ll be telling Ole to start him four times then put him on the bench and bring him on after a minute for evermore then.

I wrote about #MUFC hiring Neil Ashton to do some spin doctoring. For @alIaboutunited. allaboutunited.co.uk/ashton-united-…
