Aye. Dab hand at the last minute scrounge over the years!

Re the sky fixtures.

I'd be very wary of those: I think sky issued a wrning today that bogus lists wre in circulation on t'internets

Re the US
What's all this about footy being a girly game over in the states, then. Nowt wrong with girls playing the game, IMHO

Anyway, aren't two of their big four essentially rounders and netball?

Was about to post that Brazil are trouncing Argentina (well they still are, really), but Argentina have just scored to bring it back to 4-1.

Brazil are outstanding!

There's a leak in the roof in one corner of the pitch and it's absolutely bucketing down through it. The Argies have just taken a corner from there. Dunno if he really wanted to.

Btw, this new offside ruling is complete toss

What's new about it ??

The one where they don't flag until the player touches the ball?

The linesman (ok, assistant referee) doesn't put his flag up until the player (even if he's 5 yards or more offside) has touched the ball. So he can run after a ball for 50 yards, chased by a defender, trap the ball and then finally find out that he was in fact offside

Such tender, heartrending scenes at Old Trafford, yesterday ("Die, Glazer, Die!").

What exactly is the problem, anyway? Utd has been a PLC for over ten years, now. This time last year, a very rich bloke owned the club. Now, a different very rich bloke owns the club. Am I missing something?

Bet it was an interesting tour, though.

"And this is the trophy cabinet, Mr Glazer..."
"Gotcha. So where the holy living frick are the gosh-damned *trophies*?"
"Umm... Another corn dog?"

I was a bit surprised by the turnout to be honest.

Allegedly 300 fans for a club that draws 60,000 at OT?? I don't think they'll have any chance of 'suffocating the Galzer brand' with those sort of numbers.

But, yeah, the writing was on the wall ten years ago.

And the reasoning that this is better than what we had before is?? Sounds seriously mad to me!

They were of course, the actual Mancunian contingent of those 60,000.

I suppose it's a bit like some tinpot politician from South-east asia offering to buy Liverpool. The only thing they'd have in common is the language

I wasn't going to say that. Seriously

But really, where is everyone??

Yer on top form today, f0zz, lad

To be honest there were rumblings but there was absolutely no sign that there were going to be protests. The closest we got to that was when we sold Ian Rush to Juve and, ironically, earlier this year when discontent with the board looked like it was going to reach meltdown.

Come on, f0zz. Take the day off and get down there! Wave yer Battle Field 2 around so we can recognise you

Seriously, though. What *is* the problem? Is it because he's American and the Mancs think he doesn't, like, understand football? Is it because he's gonna put ticket prices up - which would surely have gone up, anyway?
