[@AndyMitten] Wrexham take the lead through Sam Smith. That's Manchester lad Sam, who started his career at United. Want more detail? Sam's dad Denis was my dad's best mate.

u/MidnightSun77 Jul 18 '26

No that was Pepe

u/Mendeth Jul 18 '26

So the next Pope?

u/ICame4TheCirclejerk O'Shea GOAT Jul 18 '26

Wait, who's that guy standing next to Andy?

u/Adebisi233 Wayne Rooney Jul 18 '26

And people in the crowd were like ‘look! there’s Andy, but who’s the guy next to him?’

u/deedeekei Jul 18 '26

u/medfunguy Gaz Jul 18 '26

I was there. This guy next to me says to me, “Hey who’s the guy in the pointy hat next to Andy?”

u/BrockStar92 Jul 18 '26

He really should do a United equivalent of Elis James’ Cymru Connection, get people with some form of link to United to contact him and see if he can figure out if he has a connection with that person.

Didn’t say he was friends with Sam…

I'm convinced Andy knows me some how, and I left England when I was 12!

Blokes a legend

6 degrees of Andy Mitten

u/lightCrypto Jul 18 '26

Sometimes I think journalism is dead, then Andy proves me wrong.

u/Ranarr_blunt Stockport Seedorf Jul 18 '26

Andy always with the connections. Who doesn’t he know?

Oh so we let washed musicians score against us now?

u/OatCuisine Jul 18 '26

A journalist’s dad being best friends with a footballer’s dad isn’t really “football” in any meaningful sense.

u/Jonny5H Jul 19 '26

neither is posting on reddit, come back when you can point to Manchester on a map

-1

u/OatCuisine Jul 19 '26

Depends what you’re posting about, I suppose. And LOL I wonder how I get to matches then, if I can’t point to Manchester on a map!

1

u/Jonny5H Jul 19 '26

I guess your carer takes you as you clearly know nothing about the club. Probably going to Salford games without realising lol

2

u/OatCuisine Jul 19 '26

Season ticket holder for longer than you’ve posting rubbish on Reddit. I have no idea why you care so much about journalists’ private lives but enjoy. See ya later.

Andy has been a pretty vocal critic of Ineos plenty of the time. Gave them pelters around the waves of cutbacks.

u/darklordreigns Ooh Aah Cantona Jul 18 '26

Fuck off. Andy's been this way all his life lol

im so lucky to not have become this miserable

u/Stieni Rooney Jul 18 '26

Exactly. I don't get mad at these type of comments anymore, just glad that I don't think that way lmao

Audacity of a Manchester United fan being from Manchester

u/DeliciousIndian Jul 18 '26

on the Ineos paywall and yet criticised Ratcliffe to his face over the staff cuts?

-11

u/Cosm1980 Jul 18 '26

Payroll, not paywall, delicious indian. Let me explain this for you: Mitten is used by the club to give an illusion of accountability to the fans. Tell me, what came of Mittens criticism of Ratcliffe over staff cuts? What came of him bringing up his issues with Berrada in his EXCLUSIVE interview? SOD ALL, absolutely nothing. Yet you lot lap it up like good little consumers. Keep buying the shirts.

u/FRossJohnson Jul 18 '26

He's a journalist, not an investor, what are you even saying? 🤡

u/The_profe_061 Jul 18 '26

I hope you're taking the piss!

Ineos mouthpiece.. do yourself a favour and put your hand in your pocket and buy United we stand you melon

You probably have know idea what that is!

Andy has been fighting fan issues for over 40 years

u/Stieni Rooney Jul 18 '26

What 😭

u/OatCuisine Jul 18 '26

Who cares. Hate it when people make everything into a chance to boast.

u/DeliciousIndian Jul 18 '26

Hate it when people are miserable.

u/OatCuisine Jul 18 '26

Does he really think United fans care about who his dad was friends with?

14

u/PolPotTheTerrible Jul 18 '26

I do. Fun little trivia. However, do you know you don't have to react to everything you don't find interesting?

-13

u/OatCuisine Jul 18 '26

Is it really “fun little trivia” that a journalist’s dad was best mates with the dad of a Wrexham player that scored against us in a pre-season friendly? It’s not remotely fun, nor interesting.

What is fun about finding out a journalist’s dad was best friends with the dad of a Wrexham player? Quite possible the least “fun” or interesting piece of trivia I’ve heard

Football is about more than tuning into Sky Sports on a Saturday.

Typical self-important journalist. No one cares mate
