First of all, Happy New Year.
I know it's been a tough one as a United fan, perhaps the worst year we've ever witnessed supporting this club but these difficult moments are the ones that make us stronger and boy, being a fan of United will have undoubtedly given us the strength of the Hulk 😭.
As much as it hurts us to be in this situation, it won't prevent us from loving Manchester United all the same.
There have been quite a few moments that make you question why we support this club (some of those very recently 😬) but there were also moments that made you remember why United is the club for me.
Here is my best and worst moment of 2025:
Give me a follow on TikTok. 11 away from 2100 followers 🙌.
I would also want to add just something a little more personal and away from football.
This was arguably the most important year I've had in my life. It wasn't the best but nor was it the worst.
The self-growth I've had in 2025 was the greatest in all my 29 years of being alive. I have never been more consistent, disciplined and didn't have the belief I did last year in any other year of my life. The fact that I believe at all is a HUGE step because I never had any belief in myself. I was always negative and tbh, a decent part of me still is. But the fact that it isn't all of me is the difference.
And all of that is because of doing this. The blogging, the videos, the editing, the Instagram posts (whenever I do those although I should be more consistent), the sacrifice, and like I said, the discipline was next level.
Of course, we want to be better, we can be better and while I'm not where I want to be in my life (yet) doing all of this has made me realize that it can happen!
Yes, progress is so slow it feels like I'm not even moving but hell man, slow progress is still progress, you know?
And when you look back over time, you see how far you've come.
In 2025, I think I came a long way, certainly longer than any other year of my life, even if my true goals still feel impossibly out of reach.
But, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take, right?
Despite it being a pity that our club is shit, I've never been closer and more into football and United than I have been over the course of this past year.
How I watch matches is different and the understanding of the game is better.
All of this is because of doing this.
It's gotten me to put myself out there in ways I never thought of before. It's sort of taken me out of my comfort zone and even met new people even if just online. The fact that people way for me to go live on TikTok or put out a post is honestly, an incredible feeling.
All because of trying something new.
As it involves something that I love and am passionate about makes it even better.
So while 2025 might have been a bit of a disaster in terms of Man Utd, personally, it was weirdly, one of the best years of my life.
And that is something.
Thank you to everyone who's been here through the ride. I know it's a small community but you gotta start somewhere. It will also all make for a pretty awesome fucking story when we make it.
2026, let's do this 👊.
