Much Going On

To begin with, some apologies may be due for the paucity of blog updates, but especially with the home renovation (finally) kicking into higher gear, there's much to stay on top of. There's also been the BPL restarting for Manchester Team Red (i.e. "Man Red", for game franchises unfortunate enough not to obtain the proper naming rights)... which has seen them lose 1-2 to my second club Brighton & Hove Albion (who ain't bad nowadays, actually) in the opener... before getting pummelled 0-4 by Brentford in a match I was unfortunate enough to stay up for. Worse, they mostly deserved it.

That has had the supporters even more up in arms against United's unloved Yank owners, whose habit of siphoning profits out of the club (on top of loading it with debt for the takeover) had long annoyed the fanbase. It wasn't as bad when United were still winning titles, but with Russian oligarchs and Abu Dhabi oil sheikhs bankrolling the Team Blues, United have never quite been in the mix since Ferguson retired nine years ago. And, to really rub it in, the Other Team Red From Merseyside have also had a renaissance of sorts... but eh, 2-1 out of nowhere after a threatened fan uprising. The Brentford disgrace also seems to have precipitated the club signing possibly the best defensive mid in the world too, so maybe the players had it planned all along?



Another reno sneak peek - that's some tight coupling between the political and manufacturing industries there!
