Taking to Twitter, Nairobi County Environment Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria did not hold back as he associated football misery with peace and quieter streets. “With Man United on this losing streak, I can confirm that Noise Pollution Levels will be at record lows this season. Finally, some peace and quiet in the streets. Furaha tele!” he joked, inserting a laughing emoji for emphasis.
The post did not take long to attract attention, especially from supporters of other teams who were more than happy to quote him. For them, the misfortunes of the Red Devils mean fewer heated debates, less bragging on matchdays, and “record low” levels of noise.
But United fans were not taking it lying down. Some fired back in the comments, defending their club and promising a comeback. Others laughed along, admitting the defeat has made them unusually quiet this season.
