Hi! I'm the new Head of Communications @bsky.app.
I've been watching the open social web evolve over the past couple of years. Bluesky represents what I believe the future of the internet should look like: built on principles that put people first.
Tea leaves
Hard to build any rhythm with those gaps and then when you have 2 in a week they all look knackered and the subs (๐คฎ) are diabolical in their drop off level.
Again it's not an 'excuse' as they've been terrible for weeks but you'd hope and assume it would be a benefit but it's not always the case.
Not being in any other competitions is messing with us considerably.
It's obviously a benefit 'in some ways' but it's pretty obvious now that they're not used to playing 2 in a week, and then they swing to the other extreme of 1 game every couple of weeks or so.
This doesn't excuse anything at all, but at the same time it's absolutely disgusting.
I'd rather have a one legged Maz on the pitch than Malacia, how is this joker still at the club?
Personal news update: I'm delighted to announce that as of today, I am an actual Bluesky employee! I'll be working to welcome indie media and local govt to Bskyโand supporting those already here.
I'll always want to hear your thoughts on how we can make Bsky the sort of social media we all want!
I think I want this more than anything this season. It would be absolutely incredible were it to happen

Again, it's fair
I mainly remember the stretch where he changed the formation and we looked and performed much better and then changed it back and we drew against Wolves and Leeds. Then obviously this Carrick situation (where we've not played well in the last games tbf). Feelings over facts I guess
That's fair, it's probably more weird that Amorim stuck with a formation that wasn't working and distorted the team to play in a way that didn't work for them and the squad we have but I'll take my Amorim agenda elsewhere
I've completely blanked last season out of my mind tbh so fair enough on that
I think he'll continue to develop and will be a good rotation piece for us moving forward and depending on the opposition
At 21, he's an amazing rotation option that has the potential, depending on his developing physical attributes, to probably be one of the better midfielders in the world.
Amorim never played him (weird) and Carrick's using him maybe a tad too much (lack of options).
He has room and time to develop
Manchester United move up to third in the Premier League for the first time since May 2023.
They move above Unai Emeryโs Aston Villa in a switch few would have deemed likely when Michael Carrick took over...
I think he'll play a lot tbh. No updates on Maguire staying, De Ligt and Martinez are quite injury prone. So that really leaves Yoro and Heaven as dependable CBs. Think there will be lots of games to go around and some managing of minutes.
No chance if we get Champions League, there will be lots of chances for games next season. Need a much bigger squad, and he's one of our best young players.
Has to be Arsenal, I wish it wasn't so but it really does have to be ha
Manchester United fans unveiled a pro-immigration banner during Sundayโs fixture against Crystal Palace in response to comments from minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

Maxence Lacroix put Palace ahead, but his red card and penalty concession allowed the hosts to turn it around.
United move up to third, and have avoided defeat in all five league games in which they've trailed in 2026.

It's kinda hilarious that the only game we didn't win was the one that would have got that lad his haircut ๐คฃ
Sesko is mint, what a header!
He has to move Cunha more centrally. After about 60 (with Palace hopefully tiring), I'd take off Kobbie or Casemiro, drop Bruno deeper and play Amad, Cunha, Mbeumo behind Sesko.
Gonna have to go for it at some point.
We might be losing our title at this rate ๐คฆ horrible first half. Everything trying to go through the middle, they need to try and exploit the width a little bit more.
Agreed they've all been terrible but he's made at least 3 passes that have missed their man, just basic things
Ahh it's a Dalot disaster class type of day, perfect

The squad?
They're all as putrid as the next one.
Can we please just burn it all to the ground?
