No matter from what point of the compass you view United.....they are a sorry mess.

Indeed, and imo it could not happen to a better club.

Why? And who the fudge are these faceless panels that undermine the referees and everyones common sense and opinion, except Jay Bothroyd, but he's a mouth breather that nobody takes seriously. It's shocking!
"Previous clean disciplinary record"? WTF? So if you haven't had a red card before, you can get away with everything? Absolute gonads! He should have been given a straight red previously!

I know it's only football and fans will believe anything but I just don't believe anything I read now due to AI.

Villa are suing Carragher for unacceptable comments. And reading the Villa fans online they seem to think this is a perfectly normal and sane thing to do. Having had a few good seasons in a row have very much gone to their heads. Just imagine if Spurs decided to sue for the absolute nonsense that gets spouted about us constantly,

Their line is ‘if opinion formers on podcasts start talking Villa down, potential signings and sponsors will start to believe it too. It’s reputational damage.’

Maybe I’m naive and this is just the new world we live in, but I’m thankful our club never acted in such a blatantly tinpot way. It actually reinforced Carragher’s point, because an actual big club would never even think to do this.

That's the whole idea. You're just supposed to follow your tribe blindly and only believe bad stuff about the OTHERS.

This is a really worrying development for me. Carragher expressed an opinion and had his tongue in his cheek expressing it. If things like that are subject to legal action, that's going to kill punditry. They'll all just give the same bland answers as players and managers do post match.

This will probably go nowhere but it's stress that pundits don't really need - being threatened with legal action in the media by football clubs for expressing an opinion.

Pretty disgusting behaviour from Villa in my opinion and your point about it reinforcing Carragher's point is well made.

It's one of the most pathetic things I've heard in recent times. An absolute embarrassment, no matter how silly Carragher's (or any other pundit's) comments may be.
