Crivens, they play Spurs, Chelsea and City all away in their next four matches.

Looks like it's not just the Chelsea strip, but anything Adidas considers "premium". Although how much 'customer service' you need to buy a football shirt, I dunno.

Yep, that too.

Well if they listen to them and it's not a pointless exercise, they won't allow it.

I think the 5-1 fried a circuit in his brain. Think he'd made some post the day before the match which was extremely quotable with hindsight and after having that nonchalantly waved in his face a few times he snapped.

You fucking what? Are we talking about the same flare throwing, bus bricking, pitch invading, coin chucking, keeper punching rabid apes?

Aye. Guess he says end of season rather than the last game specifically, so might not be as narrow as it seems. You'd get canny odds for 9 goals though.

To be fair, Short is getting it in the neck on RTG recently.

I can see where this comes from, but it's a bit of a continuation of the old "Fergie's lost his rag and said something stupid, but as he's infallible it must be 'mind games'" stuff

Chronicle have just posted a story using last week's French TV quote "Newcastle star Yohan Cabaye opens up about transfer window rumours" http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-star-yohan-cabaye-opens-6385570

And there won't be goals in Manchester this Christmas time The greatest gift they'll get this year is ninth...

I once ate 12 pints of Fosters and was unwell the next day.

Haven't checked the accuracy of this, but...

There's such a sense of entitlements amongst their fanbase, which isn't surprising really considering an entire generation of Man U fans have never known anything but an unbroken stream of success and trophies under Ferguson (indeed in many cases that's why they're Man U fans in the first place). Now to be a Man U manager you have to match those expectations while going up against the likes of Man City and Chelsea without the advantage of being Alex Ferguson.
