Fair play to the prat. Having live guests and live audiences (ala Top Gear) is a good business move for the channel.
beware, caf hates his gutsWhat's the Caf's opinion on Goldbridge? Do we like him?
I heard of him a long time ago, but never had time to listen to him, but I've watched him a few times recently and he's pretty decent to listen to while doing other things.
Was he on the Caf or what?
I watched bit of his stuff when Ragnick came in, at the start of that when he was talking about the whole reset thing, it made sense but, quickly lost any interest what he had to rant about.What's the Caf's opinion on Goldbridge? Do we like him?

No. He was an ex-copper who supported Nottingham Forest, who saw a gab in the market and ran with it.Was he on the Caf or what?
I know absolutely nothing about him whatsoever, except for the fact that the Caf fecking despises him.What's the Caf's opinion on Goldbridge? Do we like him?

Erm, what?Fair play to him, top man.
I like him. Just my opinion.Erm, what?
hmmmFair play to him, top man.
Yeah not sure about that - a lot of people like him.beware, caf hates his guts
No pedophile or rape jokes before anyone thinks of posting any. Shouldn't have to say this but I know what some are likeShould we create a kids section where the lads who likes this kind of stuff can hang out?
It's a fair point. I would say, however, that the positive he brings is that he's the most influential and far-reaching fan channel by far, of any club, and therefore his strong anti-Glazer views are extremely valuable.He can be entertaining at time but all in all, he's a net negative to the club in my opinion. While a lot of people just watch him for a laugh, he also has too much influence on the most toxic section of the online fan base. For example, I remember this last season:
In my opinion, without him driving an army of toxic online fans to demand Carrick and McKenna's heads immediately after Ole's sacking (#CarrickOut was trending on Twitter before even his first game in charge!), the likes of Scholes and Keane wouldn't have felt to need to overcompensate for their Ole bias by saying Carrick and co should be embarrassed for staying etc. And at least one of them could have stayed to help Rangnick rather leaving him with MLS coaches, which may have given us a few extra points last season.
One bitter prick made this claim years ago and now Goldbridge has to spend his life defending it. I wish people weren't so weak minded and could think for themselves.No. He was an ex-copper who supported Nottingham Forest, who saw a gab in the market and ran with it.
This. He is very negative towards the club and has his own agendas. He also loves and supports Ronaldo, I watched Ben Foster's youtube channel and I saw a clip of him singing Viva Ronaldo after Ronaldo's interview.He can be entertaining at time but all in all, he's a net negative to the club in my opinion.

I'm not sure if you noticed, but the state of the club has been pretty fecking negative for a decade. Do you expect him to celebrate all our trophies, celebrate signing the top players in the world, gush over our owners, praise our highly skilled managers like Ole, fanboy over Fred and McTominey. I'm not sure what positives you expect him to be talking about 3 hours a day, 7 days a week. He's been quite positive since we hired Ten Hag, even when his fans trash players like Maguire he'll criticize them, and then look for a positve in the player to turn the comment around.He can be entertaining at time but all in all, he's a net negative to the club in my opinion.

It is a complete grift, but the Forest stuff is probably as you say.Do people genuinely believe that he's not a United fan and that it's 100% an act and a grift?
I'm as sceptical as anyone but this feels like a reach to me. I can certainly believe he supported Forest as a kid, but also United. That sort of thing is really common, team allegiances can be malleable until getting into teenage years. If there's evidence he was a rock solid Forest-only supporter until starting the United Stand then I'll stand corrected.
He wasn't a Forrest fan, but at the end of the day, who cares if he was? You English have too many rules to being a fan, you're either born a fan of a club, or you'll never be a proper one... that's not how life works. At the end of the day he's clearly a United fan now, he's clearly very knowledgeable about United, and he's clearly very knowledgeable about football.Do people genuinely believe that he's not a United fan and that it's 100% an act and a grift?

He does say on a video of his, i forget where, that as a child he was Notts County i believe, as he is from the areaDo people genuinely believe that he's not a United fan and that it's 100% an act and a grift?

F2 freestylers ? If it's them, they don't work together anymoreI know this seems weird coming from someone who spends a stupid amount of time on this place but I’m always amazed that anyone would waste even a few minutes listening to some randomer on YouTube shitting on and on about Manchester United. Complete mystery to me. And yes, I’m old but no, I don’t generally look down on YouTubers. Some of them produce great content. I could happily watch someone like Chris MD or those other two lads who were quality footballers (blanking on their name, something like Y2K?) kicking a ball around but watching someone talk bollox about football? Feck that.
Yeah, them. They were great. Could really twat a football.F2 freestylers ? If it's them, they don't work together anymore
In terms of techniques, they really did produce some amazing videos. Billy Wingrove has a monster of a left footYeah, them. They were great. Could really twat a football.
Its the truth. Mark Goldbridge isnt his real name. His name is Brent Di Cesare, a financial fraud investigator from Nottingham. Not hard to research that. In the MAGA/gift youtube era, this isnt uncommon.One bitter prick made this claim years ago and now Goldbridge has to spend his life defending it. I wish people weren't so weak minded and could think for themselves.
