Patrick Dorgu smiles and side-eyes the camera after scoring a screamer to put Man Utd 2-1 up at the Emirates.
Ed Miliband is floored.

BBC live text asks: Who will take over from Amorim?” Underneath is a picture of Xavi looking a bit like Matt LeBlanc.
Nah I wouldn’t go for Matt LeBlanc, he got turned into a bit of a joke figure by that Irish Da meme. You need someone with stature. #ThisIsManchesterUnitedWereTalkingAbout
Craig Levein and Amy Irons smile at the launch of the Sacked In The Morning podcast.
Ruben Amorim do you want picking up in the morning pal #SackedInTheMorning #ThisIsManchesterUnitedWereTalkingAbout
Sky Sports graphic about Man Utd: “When Leading at Half-Time at Old Trafford League since May 1984 Games 393 Wins 359 Draws 34 Defeats 0”.
When it was 3-2 they flashed up this graphic, and sorry but how? *How*?
Like I know they had a pretty good manager for a while, but… *HOW*??? #ThisIsManchesterUnitedWereTalkingAbout

Casemiro belly-to-back suplexing some Chelsea guy (while simultaneously tripping him up), then looking shocked when he gets a second yellow lol. #ThisIsManchesterUnitedWereTalkingAbout
BBC Sport headline: “Man Utd announce record revenue despite on-field struggles”.
*shakes fist* Gaaaargh, they can’t keep getting away with this!
(The Boris Johnson of football, falling upwards until the end of time.) #ThisIsManchesterUnitedWereTalkingAbout
BBC Sport graphic showing that Man Utd’s win percentage gradually dropped under Erik ten Hag, and has continued to fall at an identical pace under Ruben Amorim.
Man Utd finally confirming their status as the Rangers of England (which, ironically, Rangers have always wanted to be). #CarabaoCup #ChampionsLeague #Rengers #ThisIsManchesterUnitedWereTalkingAbout
Ed Miliband looks up.
FlashScore: Grimsby Town 1-0 Man Utd in the EFL Cup.
Ed Miliband looks shocked.
FlashScore: Man Utd are 15th in the Premier League (where they finished last season), after losing their first game 1-0 at home to Arsenal.
Maybe they’re just stuck there forever. 😯 #ThisIsManchesterUnitedWereTalkingAbout
PREVIOUS TRAFFORD!!!?! 😆🥹🤔🫤 #ThisIsManchesterUnitedWereTalkingAbout
Actually feel so sorry for Man Utd now that I’m willing this move to go through.
It’s like at the end of a Disney film where the baddie is captured and looks all sad, and I’m like, “Don’t kill them! Just some jail time. Let them regain a bit of dignity here.” #ThisIsManchesterUnitedWereTalkingAbout
This is like when Boris Johnson turned up at the Jubilee and got booed by Monarchists. Should be the safest of safe crowds. Rock bottom approaching. #ThisIsManchesterUnitedWereTalkingAbout
A botched painting of Christ.
The same botched painting of Christ.
Happy #EuropaLeagueFinal Day!😃😩 #AngeBall #WellLookMate #ThisIsManchesterUnitedWereTalkingAbout
Sorry typo, I meant Man Utd / Spurs. #ThisIsManchesterUnitedWereTalkingAbout #AngeBall
Ed Miliband looks.
FlashScore: five goals in extra time. Fergie Time. Obscene. Europa League.
Ed Miliband is shocked.
Extra-time haters in the mud. #EuropaLeague #ThisIsManchesterUnitedWereTalkingAbout
Will Self and Marc Francois square going each other during yet another fun Brexit debate.
Sure why not lol, let’s have Man Utd vs. Spurs in the #EuropaLeague Final. The greatest ugly match in history. Two clubs on their knees accidentally ending up in a glamour match. #AngeBall #ThisIsManchesterUnitedWereTalkingAbout
One of a long line of signs (white text on red background) in the Man Utd megastore at Old Trafford reads: “WHAT DO YOU GET IN RETURN? WHAT’S ON OFFER?’ IT’S MANCHESTER UNITED. WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT?”
NevilleSpeak is now so ingrained in the DNA of the club that it’s started to creep into random signs in the shop. #ThisIsManchesterUnitedWereTalkingAbout
The Sir Alex Ferguson Stand, with a statue of the man himself underneath the sign.
The iconic United Trinity statue of George Best, Denis Law and Sir Bobby Charlton, three of the greatest footballers of all time, who were the usual front three as Man Utd became the first English club (and second British club) to win the European Cup in 1968. Law, the only Scot ever to win the Ballon D’Or, was the last of the three to pass away this January.
A tribute to Sir Matt Busby, who survived the Munich air disaster of 1958 and rebuilt the club to win the European Cup 10 years later.
Old Trafford still looks amazing from the outside, but there are many complaints about conditions within the stadium, so Tory Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants to built a new £2bn stadium that looks a bit like a circus with gigantic needles.
This is Manchester United we’re visiting here! #ThisIsManchesterUnitedWereTalkingAbout
Screenshot of me continuing a conversation with ‘Ecosia AI chat’ (not an AI fan but I figure Ecosia’s version must be at least semi-ethical). I was asking if Gary Neville had ever uttered the words, “This is Manchester United we’re talking about here!”, or if it was an example of the Mandela Effect. “When did it happen though?” “Gary Neville made the statement “This is Manchester United we’re talking about here” during a commentary for Sky Sports on December 26, 2015, after Manchester United lost 2-0 to Stoke City. His comment reflected the frustrations of fans and the high expectations associated with the club's history. This moment has since been referenced frequently in discussions about Manchester United's performance and identity.”
Here’s one that only you (or @bryansgunn.bsky.social) could ever answer: has Gary Neville ever actually uttered the iconic phrase #ThisIsManchesterUnitedWereTalkingAbout?
I even had a rare dive into Ecosia AI (for my sins) and they claim he said it on Boxing Day 2015, but I can’t find a clip of it.
BBC: Man Utd defeat Rangers 2-1 after an utterly ridiculous game of football. United scored in the 52nd minute after a comical own goal from Rangers keeper Jack Butland, who punched the ball into his own net from a corner. However, a blunder from #Slabhead Harry Maguire in the 88th minute gifted Cyriel Dessers an equaliser. Utd then won it in the 92nd minute with a Bruno Fernandes strike, for a laugh.
Well I was hoping for something funny, but this surpassed it. Discourse for everyone. Super Scoreboard could be six hours tomorrow and I wouldn’t complain. #Rengers #ThisIsManchesterUnitedWereTalkingAbout
Somebody looking grossed out by something.
But a second later, they look intrigued and quite happy about the same thing.
Switched on 5 Live, commentator is screaming:
“-the much maligned Antony! And how he needed that-“
Assumed the abuser had scored. 😒
“-to go in, but he’s put it wide from two yards!” 🥳

Somebody looking grossed out by something, but then a second later looking intrigued.
The first half of Arsenal / Man Utd vs. The second half. #FACup #ThisIsManchesterUnitedWereTalkingAbout
Oh wait are we actually doing this? 🤯 #ThisIsManchesterUnitedWereTalkingAbout
FlashScore: Manchester United have slid to 14th(!) in the Premier League on Boxing Day after a 2-0 defeat at Wolves. Leicester are in the relegation zone but are only eight points behind Utd with a game in hand, and Utd’s next three games are Newcastle, Liverpool and Arsenal.
Right, hear me out, but if they just kept losing some of that lot would start to overtake them eh. I mean it’s solid maths, can’t argue with that Jeff. #ThisIsManchesterUnitedWereTalkingAbout
Celtic 3-3 Rangers after extra time in the League Cup final. Celtic win 5-4 on penalties.
“Man City” 1-2 Man Utd, after a dramatic late collapse from the team hit with #115Charges for breaking every law in the sport.
Southampton 0-5 Tottenham at half time.
Ed Miliband stunned by all of this.
They won’t write a book about today, because you don’t write books about single days. But if they did, I’d buy it. #Shellick #Rengers #115Charges #ThisIsManchesterUnitedWereTalkingAbout #AngeBall #WellLookMate
