Remember that fat guy from Full time devils used to slag him off and now his channel dwarves his. Fair play to him even if he is a Ronaldo stan.
The biggest problem with Howson is that he isn't half (or 1/10th) as knowledgeable/ tactically astute as he thinks he is.Stephen howson provide far more depth then him but jeez the guy love the sound of his voice.
That idea that you have to be from a city to be a proper fan of their club in 2022 is ridiculous. There is only one club in the world that can make such a claim, Athletic Biboa, because all their players are from there, so there is at least consistency in the position. But if you want Dutch, Spanish, Argetine, Brazilian, etc, etc, players at your club to improve your team then you get foreign fans.I dont often watch his videos but when i do its the same as here on the caf. Some things i agree with, some things i dont agree with. Although i have read more ridiculous stuff on here than he has ever said during one of this videos i watched. He usually comes across decent in the Ben Foster podcasts if i listen to one of those.
He is just a Manchester United fan though, dont really get why people get so annoyed at his opinions. His opinion isnt worth more than your opinion, my opinion or an ex player their (usually ridiculous) opinion.
Seems like a smart guy though, earns a living by talking about football. Has a business around talking about football without being an ex-player. Thats not bad at all.
Ridiculous that he cant be a real Manchester United fan because he isnt from Manchester though. Most Manchester United fans arent from Manchester... but someone who from Nottingham who has succes while being a fan cant be a real fan?
I don't know whether to find the people that blabber on about "Forest fan" funny or sad. Goldshite is waaaaaaaay too knowledge on United to not have been a lifelong fan.Think he’s done a blinding job and is very entertaining to watch. Good lad and hope he does very well.
Bitter old blokes can’t stand that he thought of it before they did but hey ho.
Definitely not a forest fan.
Much better than Paddock.
Howson isn't even from Manchester, he's from Wigan.People think Howson is a 'proper fan' because he's from Manchester. Just glossing over the fact that he scammed foreign United fans on their visits to Old Trafford. I'd consider a fan from Nottingham that doesn't scam foreign fans as more of a proper fan than any scumbag like Howson.
Thanks for your comment, Mark.
He grew up in and around Droylsden, to be fair. Not that it matters. But I can watch him...I dont find him has insufferable as Goldbridge.Howson isn't even from Manchester, he's from Wigan.
Which is why his insults towards Mark/Brent seem ironic as hell.
As people have already pointed out, MU have fans worldwide, claiming he's not a fan because he's from Nottingham is no different then not being a fan because he's from Wigan.
He knows absolutely nothing about football but his opinions become mainstream because of his platformWhat'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?
The Caf pretends to despise him yet they quote him practically word for word because most people here are a bunch of muppetsI know absolutely nothing about him whatsoever, except for the fact that the Caf fecking despises him.
I think @SadlerMUFC has a soft spot for him, though.
Yeah, but you got to admire how hard he is working and that he is managing to make it work as an entrepreneur in a field like this.The Caf pretends to despise him yet they quote him practically word for word because most people here are a bunch of muppets
Has this ever been proven?No. He was an ex-copper who supported Nottingham Forest, who saw a gab in the market and ran with it.
Your Goldbridge paranoia is one of the more amusing recurring themes on the Caf.The Caf pretends to despise him yet they quote him practically word for word because most people here are a bunch of muppets
And your obsession with me is getting downright frightening. Please stop stalking me...Your Goldbridge paranoia is one of the more amusing recurring themes on the Caf.
I have a love/hate relationship with the United Stand. I enjoy watching and respect people like Adam, Ricky and Beth (can't stand the mouth breather Irish guy). My biggest problem is that in my opinion Goldbridge abuses his power as an influencer. He states his opinions as facts knowing that there are way too many muppets out there who can't think for themself. Next thing you know, his opinions become facts. I see it every day. When he has an agenda for or against someone, he goes out of his way to slide in little one liners to make sure this is getting cemented in the muppets tiny little minds...Yeah, but you got to admire how hard he is working and that he is managing to make it work as an entrepreneur in a field like this.
I am sure he has had his detours over the years, but the little while I’ve followed him, he has basically not had any opinions. Like he likes ETH, but at worst, I recon everyone agree that he at least should be given a shot. But besides that he isn’t exactly opiniated.
In that sense, he has definitely a stabilizing factor — which this organization really needs. Like you see sooo many tilting during every game. Take Elanga for example. He is a kid — who definitely has his warts — but that comes in when needed and does a perfectly OK job. No reason whatsoever to freak out if a club has a kid like him come in and play 15 games during a season. Can he become something more? We will see in 3-4 years time. Right now he isn’t there.
Even if players don’t directly come into contact with everything of what is said in social media — it sippers out. Support Elanga, it is what it is. No reason to freak out about it. Many things a lot worse going on at this club than one kid who besides fumbling the ball a few times per game playing a little here and there, and working his rear of every time he is on the field.
In this perspective, someone like Goldbridge setting the tone is really important. Like sure, he should probably be on loan, but it is what it is, it’s not the kids fault, and he isn’t as bad as some are saying.
Right?
he himself admitted to liking either them or notts county as a youngster. So yes, by his own admission, he was a fan of one of those 2 first. Its on one of those livestream things he does where he just has a chat with his audience.Has this ever been proven?
Nice deflectionAnd your obsession with me is getting downright frightening. Please stop stalking me...
