We'll never die, we'll never die. We'll never die, we'll never die. We'll keep the red flag flying high, 'Cause Man United will never die.

United's flag is deepest red, It shrouded all our Munich dead. Before their limbs grew stiff & cold, Their heart blood dyed it's every fold. Then raise United's banner high, Beneath it's shade we'll live & die. So keep the faith & never fear, We'll keep the red flag flying here.

I'm like Elvis, in that it's 2.20am and I'm eating a hotdog between two slices of bread.

They fixed it! Still has some issues with CBs but the pace is fixed.

Sometimes it's hard not to think the world would be better if it was just full on Lord of the Rings.

You can't enjoy a single moment in a game anymore. Nobody can sprint. CBs have no awareness, forwards always run the opposite way you want them to, they slow right down if you're approaching the goals and lose the ball almost every time. There's so much wrong with it.

I absolutely hate what EA have done to FC25. It's not far from being unplayable. Won my last two games and still switched it off because of how it plays. It's so bad.

Duncan Edwards. Manchester United. 1956.

Going on up to the spirit in the sky, It’s where I’m gonna go when I die. When I die and they lay me to rest, I’m gonna go on the piss with Georgie Best.

I dare not begin that sentence, never mind finish it.

Most kids of my generation at one point thought Arsenal Football Club was named after Arsène Wenger. Like..it was HIS club.

Looks like i'm loosin mates, there's a lot of hostility near my gates, We used to fight with kids from other estates, Now 8 millimetres settle debates.

Not trying to blow my own trumpet. Not one bit, I'd rather beat my own drum kit.

I miss you.

Can't decide if the game is shite or if I'm shite but something in this scenario is shite for sure.

I don't know why I have social media anymore.

I'm the Owen Hart of phone charging.

Whatever burns, burns eternally. So take me in turns, internally.

Managed to keep my phone on 10% the past couple of hours. I'm a top class Technician.

January, man. What even is it?

Anyone play FC 25? 😂 PSN: Kunnter69
