Ahh.. was just gently teasing the manu fan

Ol Red Face must have been having a larf with the media last night when he was talking about teams crowding the referee to get players sent off.. Pot, black, kettle, boil???

Thought it highly amusing how he told the media before the game that Robben wasn't a threat. Kiss of death.

Nothing like a taste of your own medicine! Two in a week in fact with Drogba's offside goal.

Ah diddums.

It's a big weekend in the UKB race for 3rd and 4th!

Richie Crouch · April 10, 2010, 10:08:46 am

I've pretty much given up on 1st now. Was stuck in font with no internet for the weekend before last, so couldn't make any changes. Bit of a mountain to claw back now!

Hoping Fat Frank gets injured asap

Race for 3rd looks like it could be nice and competitive though

Useless cunt. We're fucked now.

How did this horrible man end up with a knighthood??

GraemeA · April 11, 2010, 06:35:58 pm

Ah, the magic of the Cup.

Big up Pompey

What a great day of football. Utd draw... Liverpool draw... Spuds have to play 12O minutes and have Palacios on a Red before Arsenal on Wednesday. City have scored 14 goals in 3 games and Gareth Barry ruled our midfield after getting loads of stick earlier in the season for leaving Villa and not joining Uselesspool all the 'He's only joining for the money, as if City will be playing in the CL over Liverpool or Villa' pundits can go fuck themselves. Forza Mancini & Forza City. Bring on Utd on Saturday....

He donated lots of money to Labour, how else do you think he got one?

(and yes it's true he's a very big donor)

And he does lots of work for charity.

But he is still a complete and utter whinging twat.

It's actually even closer than it looks as (with four games still to play this week) I'm actually on 31 (with Torres not playing so auto sub / captain change) which makes me and FD exactly level on 1704.

8 of my players are yet to play this week too. Need some big performances!

Jose's a knocking...

He's the only manager I can think of with an ego so large it wouldnt be overshadowed by what Ferguson had done... Either that or Phil Brown

Jaspersharpe · April 13, 2010, 11:03:37 am

Can't see him taking the job especially while the club is in such a perilous financial state. When Fergie goes it could all come crashing down (as Deloitte mentioned in the damning financial report) and Mourinho's too clever to get involved in that.

Mind you, most United fans seem happy to conveniently forget that it's Redface's fault (through his childishness and greed in the Rock of Gibraltar fiasco) that the Glazers got their hands on the club in the first place.

In other news. Ah, poor Cristiano......

Article about the offside rule....?

....bear with me, it's really interesting!

nai · April 13, 2010, 01:47:36 pm

Blimey that was a grind but yes it got there in the end.

Shirley Jose's a certainty for the utd job? I know he doesn't play the right kind of football but he's the only manager out there who's had success in both the Premier and Champions Leagues. The stakes are too high for utd to appoint a manager like SAF fresh from Aberdeen again, with potential, might work out, aren't they?
