RE the click bait, they're there to make money too, without these things they don't make as much and can't put out as much content.
Yea feck them, Robbie from AFTV came out in Flex defense after aswell. They really think they represent journalism, when you compare proper journalists with them, they are embarassment for the proffesion.wow I had no idea, amazing. I like to see the established cast of journalists getting their feathered ruffled honestly.
Mckola is the only one I can stand for a reasonable amount of time. Howson's grown on me slightly, but veers into thuggishness far to often. Also; if you're going to present yourself as the main man on a big fan channel, at least try and pronounce the manager's name near correctly. Yer man and his super hard clicky 'K' is like nails on a chalkboard every single time.... Also i like Mckola but Howson is next level obnoxious...
Rants is truly unbearable. The way he talks with his slang which amazingly seems like he's trying to talk like that, rather than it being natural. How people take him seriously ill never know, he sounds like he has an IQ of about 5.I give his shows 6/10. He’s better than Rants, who can truly put people off watching the channel.
P.S. Anyone else know about ‘Goldbridge’s’ Italian heritage? His real name is Brent d’Cesare. He revealed it on True Geordie’s KickOff show
5 is generous. Agree with the slang thing as well, at least Troopz sounds natural with his ‘blud’ and ‘fam’. Sounds far more educated than Rants too.Rants is truly unbearable.

I enjoy the show but Goldbridge can really drive me crazy sometimes. He is always moaning about people having an agenda yet he has the biggest agenda of them all and is constantly pushing his opinion as fact. And the worst part is, I am constantly reading people quoting him word for word and pretending it's their opinion. As an influencer he really does abuse his "power". Flex is great though. Has his opinions about different things but doesn't push an agenda on anyone. I also like Ricky. I don't agree with all the stuff he says, but I get where he's coming from. Beth just repeats whatever Mark says and if she wasn't pretty I doubt she would be on the show. I like Adam but he seems to be off the show now, and Said seems to be gone now too...

I don't think any of this is an act. "Mark Goldbridge" maybe a character as it's not his real name, but he is expressing his real opinion. If not, then give this man an OscarI don't watch, but have seen clips of Goldbridge and found him quite funny and entertaining. That was on the premise that he's playing a character. At least I hope he is.
As such if I started to watch I suppose I'd think it was all part of the character. Mind you I suppose things get blurry, where his own personality comes through too, and perhaps you think that's what is happening the times he talks about agenda/talks like his opinion is fact. There's always a bit of someone's real personality in every character they portray.
From the outside and my idea of what he's like, him being conceited and thinking his own opinions are great would fit in with how I see the character he is portraying. In my mind he's kind of supposed to be an annoying tosser who has forthright and bad opinions, and then you get to laugh at him when he's wrong as he makes excuses as to why he isn't actually wrong. Thought it was part of the show, hard to tell though I suppose.
I think he's just being stubborn in his thoughts about Bruno. I also don't think he wants him benched. He just doesn't want to give him the credit he deserves. But when Ricky says 4-4-2 he really means 4-2-3-1 and is usually saying Bruno in the #10. He just wants the wingers to help out more defensively and act more as wide midfielders than forwards. I get where he's coming from and I see why he likes James. He works his ass off. I don't get his obsession with Mata though. Against a low block Mata would be one of the first names on my team sheet. But those games are few and far between...Adam & Saeed have moved over to Rants channel. Seems to be the place where all former United Stand crew go.
Goldbridge is a bit annoying. Flex is a good straight man type & KG is very funny. Ricky is a character but he’d be a horribly boring manager. Guy wants Dan James to start every game & Bruno benched.
I dunno, I’ve heard him say a number of times that he wants to see Van De Beek play 10 & “2 of Matic, McTominay & Fred have to play” so that sounds to me like he wants Bruno benched.I think he's just being stubborn in his thoughts about Bruno.

Wow, that's not goodI only watch Goldbridge. Well I listen to him in the back ground when doing some work online. Some stuff that he says is quite good and he has humour. So i'll give him credit. If Beth comes on I'll have a letch at her Who wouldn't. Flex can sod off. I really can't stand him and finally........................................Ricky . Why, Why, Why have they got him on!
If you want to know what Ricky is as a United fan then take a look here.

A great game is to drink every time he insults our players then blames the fanbase for being toxic and not getting behind the players when we win 2 in a rowA great drinking game would be to have a drink every time Goldbridge says "agenda" and two drinks every time he says, "the reality is". You wouldn't make it a quarter hour. LOL!
He hates McTominay and Maguire. Then says get behind the players? I mean there is a reason why McFred start in big games.A great game is to drink every time he insults our players then blames the fanbase for being toxic and not getting behind the players when we win 2 in a row
Also Pogba etc have plenty of the ball in big games, its why Bruno gave it away so much to begin with so blaming McFred for not supplying the attackers is ridiculous.He hates McTominay and Maguire. Then says get behind the players? I mean there is a reason why McFred start in big games.
We all want to play attacking football, but we also have to be solid at the back. In every big game Ole has got a result, he has played 2 DM's, so why is he going to change?
I don't value his opinion much, but to be fair he repeats over and over he rates Maguire just doesn't think Lindelof and Maguire are a good CB partnershipHe hates McTominay and Maguire. Then says get behind the players? I mean there is a reason why McFred start in big games.

Exactly. Why did their attackers struggle? we had 2 players in there to cover spaces, hassle opponents.Also Pogba etc have plenty of the ball in big games, its why Bruno gave it away so much to begin with so blaming McFred for not supplying the attackers is ridiculous.
I cant stand hindsight punditry like that. Thiago had all of the ball for them and their attackers were still starved of chances, his theories literally fall down with examples from the same game
That would put you in the hospital even faster than the Rashy offside drinking game.A great drinking game would be to have a drink every time Goldbridge says "agenda" and two drinks every time he says, "the reality is". You wouldn't make it a quarter hour. LOL!
He has the odd cracking reaction like that tonight ha."Martin Atkinson...about as much use as a hairbrush to Bruce Willis" I love Goldbridge

The worst part about Goldbridge is that he expresses his opinions as facts and then he abuses his "influencer role" by saying the same things over and over again. Next thing you know you have a bunch of United supporters repeating the same crap he spews. I absolutely hate how he complains about people having agendas yet he has the biggest agenda of them all. For Maguire or McTominay to get a 6/10 they have to put in an 8/10 performance, while Martial, Shaw and De Gea only need to put in 5/10 to get 7/10. Of course he will say that the player ratings are accurate because they are voted by UnitedStand fans, but they only tally all the votes after Mark has had a good 10-15 minutes to influence how they are going to vote. And the worst part is, as much as I hate him, I watch him every dayThat would put you in the hospital even faster than the Rashy offside drinking game.
Goldbridge loves accusing others of having agendas while clearly having several agendas of his own. Shaw & Bruno can do no wrong, Maguire & McT can do no right.
Flex & KG is the best show on the channel. Light hearted, chilled & more banter than presenting opinion as fact, which Mark is guilty of.
Yep! Criminal how few subscribers those lads have. Howson is very very genuine. Best is when he appears on the post match drunk.Much prefer Howson and the Stretford Paddock lot tbh. It at least seems genuine with them.
The folks at Stretford Paddock are pretty funny tbh. I like their Premier League Pi*stake. Their humour is more natural and less affected - a la Goldbridge.he has sense of banter unlike the guys on FullTimeDevils
God, I watched the first 2 minute of that video, it's so cringe and I had to stop, not sure where the natural humour, may be just not my thing. I'm not big fans of Goldbridge either, I don't even watch him anymore so may be I didn't watch his shit one but my early impression watching him during the lockdown, he wasn't so bad, not my liking to watch but he's not bad.Yep!

Both Rants and Saeed are broadcasting their own youtube chanel, iirc starting this season.I seen it tweeted recently that United Stand coverage is far less negative and agenda driven since Rants and the Saeed was removed, is that true?
Then good auld Rick, consistency with controversial comments. Amazing how so many don't realise he's playing a gimmick routine.
