Default Manchester United cause climate change



Oh look. We are the villains because our lads got a flight home.

There are literally figuratively zillions of flights every day, but this lazy journo decides to criticise us.

It's really taken the shine off the cup win tbf

They do have a point, but if they used almost any other club to highlight it then no one would give a shit.

Maybe it would be better to have a pop at the people responsible for scheduling a Wembley cup final for tea time on a Sunday when there is another game just three days later.

I think it's time for a Manchester United Train. Could have all the treatment, warm up/down kit etc on board. Could look something like this

They had a bitch about Liverpool taking a flight home from Newcastle last week tbf.

It’s ridiculous though, did you see the Private Jet map from after the SuperBowl?


At least the football team flights are probably carrying 50+ people.

They do have a point, but it's such a drop in the ocean it isn't even worth mentioning.

Why not target people going on holiday? Or the business flights? Or Doris down the street having her heating on full blast but her bedroom window is open?

Probably why the Qataris are so keen to buy us.

Because again, no one cares

If high profile organisations are highlighted and they change their behaviour it will filter down to everyone else.

But (this is a point I bore the missus with) it's throwing the responsibility for climate change onto us as individuals. Carbon foot print? £#%&! off

It's heavy industry and third world countries using old energy tech that are causing climate change, not david de gea having a bbq in his back garden

It disgusts me.

and targeting united when they should be targetting (say) polluters like mcdonalds (sorry ethers), well.

Puts me off the whole thing, makes me care even less, almost want to burn tyres in the back garden, with the heating on and all windows open...
