People being annoyed about xenophobic remarks are pathetic?It's pathetic.

Woody needs to throw us a bone soon, a horde of unsatisfied muppets can turn toxic and vigilant real fast.This thread made me crawl down a twitter rabbit hole of butt-hurt United fans piling on journos who dare to tweet anything negative about one of our transfer sagas. The absolute state of them.
Luckhurst getting roasted isn't because of one transfer story. He's constantly sneered at supporters and took himself far too importantly and today's rubbish was the tipping point.This thread made me crawl down a twitter rabbit hole of butt-hurt United fans piling on journos who dare to tweet anything negative about one of our transfer sagas. The absolute state of them.
Or you can find out why people are angry but yeah "shock horror, the absolute state of them"This thread made me crawl down a twitter rabbit hole of butt-hurt United fans piling on journos who dare to tweet anything negative about one of our transfer sagas. The absolute state of them.
not quite...while some melts misunderstood the re-tweets he did from some abhorrent people. The main crux of it was the fact he has a number of tweets where he calls someone an "idiot Asian fan" and other tweets where he says "suspicious tourists" sitting in the front row of some game or some shite
they think is infra-red as you can look back and confirm for yourself is going out of his way to avoid the obvious
It's the mentality of people that feel the need to trawl back through hundreds of previous tweets to look for a way to get him back for damping down the hysteria about a hypothetical transfer that blows my mind. Get a life.Or you can find out why people are angry but yeah "shock horror, the absolute state of them"
Yeah thats the real issue here not the xenophobic remarks for which people are actually annoyed about.It's the mentality of people that feel the need to trawl back through hundreds of tweets to look for a way to get him back for damping down the hysteria about a hypothetical transfer that blows my mind. Get a life.
The guy insulted United fans today saying we're fanboys who run on foreign media to believe them. Has nothing related to his previous tweets.It's the mentality of people that feel the need to trawl back through hundreds of tweets to look for a way to get him back for damping down the hysteria about a hypothetical transfer that blows my mind.

Complete coincidence this blew up the same day he said that stuff about Fabinho not coming?Yeah thats the real issue here not the xenophobic remarks for which people are actually annoyed about.
Not really but you are assuming that everyone went through his past tweets. The anger of the majority is based on his xenophobic remarks or do you think every one went through his past tweets? Its like complaining about somebody trying to solve a 20/30 year old case and bring the criminal to justice (extreme analogy but you get the point).Complete coincidence this blew up the same day he said that stuff about Fabinho not coming?
Amazing. He went back through 5 years of teeets. Dedicated.
You clearly didn't read his main article today.Complete coincidence this blew up the same day he said that stuff about Fabinho not coming?
The below is taken from MEN just now:
The Fabinho situation explained
Twice this week the Monaco midfielder has spoken about the possibility of joining United, calling it ‘tempting’ and even being asked about his squad number on Brazilian television.
It’s a desperate tactic but it excites the online community. Fabinho is particularly popular among United fanboys who want the club to sign him as their defensive midfielder. He is ranking high on Google Trends and would be a quality addition and he’s also capable of playing at right-back, which would ease the workload on Antonio Valencia. Fabinho also briefly played for Mourinho at Real Madrid.
Unfortunately, the reality is United will not pursue a deal for Fabinho, which the M.E.N. reported earlier this month. Mourinho drew up a list of possible defensive midfield options months ago and Fabinho wasn’t on it.
Some fanboys are unhappy about that and are trying to make it happen, citing certain sections of the foreign media.
Here’s a pertinent question: If United had submitted an offer for Fabinho (they haven’t), why would Fabinho talk as if Monaco hadn’t received one? Answer: Because Monaco haven’t received one.
What’s mad is, in modern football, some fanboys don’t just cheer on players but they also cheer on ‘transfer gurus’ transfer ‘specialists’.
The likelihood is intermediaries and agents are fabricating or exaggerating interest to smoke out an actual bidder.
You have to say the manner in which the article was written was unusual for a professional journalist. fanboy this, believe the foreign media yeah? that... It might be the absolute contempt dripping from his pen (a keyboard really) that has broken the camel's back.Complete coincidence this blew up the same day he said that stuff about Fabinho not coming?
Chat shit, get banged (much later).Amazing. He went back through 5 years of teeets. Dedicated.
It's their way. Just this season to Andre Gray after he scored a few goals against Liverpool, people trawled through his account and found those sexist/racist posts.Chat shit, get banged (much later).
What transfer story has he spoilt?Sounds like a sound lad tbf. The hatred because he spoiled a transfer story. Idiots.
Can you give me a tl;dr of what he did?How anyone can actually look at this situation and defend him is beyond me. His attitude is appalling.
Interesting. You're smart guy but you still deliberately, or by a coincidence, put your bet on the wrong horse.This thread made me crawl down a twitter rabbit hole of butt-hurt United fans piling on journos who dare to tweet anything negative about one of our transfer sagas. The absolute state of them.
If you think someone had to physically click and read 5 years of tweets to get to that then I would like to introduce you to a little something called the "search feature" it will change your life...Amazing. He went back through 5 years of teeets. Dedicated.

How? Stuck in a classroom for a course of mind training? How would we know the kind of result you believe this education should result in had been achieved? Attach probes to his head and watch the incremental correction occurring in real time on a brain scanning device? At what point would you be happy that he now thought in the way you believe he should think? Give me some idea of the criteria and the method of measurement.What's the context of the first tweet? I think he may have been defending Evra there rather than anything abusive.
But I've seen some of his other tweets that have been dragged out, I think he should be educated rather than sacked. He comes across more as ignorant than malicious.
Not necessarily, all you have to do is search the persons username @_ _ _ _ and then a key word. You can pull up everything they tweeted using that word rather than going back through years of tweets.Amazing. He went back through 5 years of teeets. Dedicated.
Calm down, I'm no expert in the field, I basically meant someone should have a word with him about the way he expresses himself. Similar to the media training that footballers are given.How?

He just gets off on being argumentative.Interesting. You're smart guy but you still deliberately, or by a coincidence, put your bet on the wrong horse.
I'm all fairness, only a few people in this thread have called for him to be sacked as far as I can see?Seriously? This a bloke that has grafted to work for a newspaper and some no mark is openly discussing his livelihood on an internet forum. It's easy to forget that people like Sam Luckhurst are actually fairly low paid and actually have bills to pay and mouths to feed. Believe it or not, he is a real person.
There are seriously deranged and damaged individuals that post on this forum. Like, seriously weird adult men.
Yes off course...He just gets off on being argumentative.
Your opinion is that because he's low paid he can write whatever xenophobic shite he wants?Seriously?

He actually did not say that about all United fans.The guy insulted United fans today saying we're fanboys who run on foreign media to believe them. Has nothing related to his previous tweets.
I don't think you know the main topic.
Nail on head.That's why his wanky tweets have been unconvered yes. The unsavoury content of those tweets are what people are pissed off with.
