I feel for you Grazyg, but where did you live on match days and did Ryan Giggs ever try to have sex with you.

Take me home country road must give you nightmares.

The bogs at the back of the Kippax (dry-ish and had their own heady aroma) and No, a bit too young for me.
"Take me home" was by one of my wife's favourite artists - the Milky Bar Kid. A good singer but lousy pilot. (RIP)

Let me tell you a story.

The funniest incident I remember from Max was on Mike Yarwood's This Is Your Life.

Jimmy Tarbuck had just been banned from driving for being over the limit, and he’d already been introduced, and after paying his little tribute to Mike, and had sat down, when Bygraves came on.

As he was giving his little speech, he looked at Tarbuck, and said, as if he’d just noticed him, "Hello, Jim, can I have a lift home".

Ronaldo playing like most of us thought he would in a team not good enough to feed him chances and a generally faster tougher league. He is 37 sure but 99% of his game was always running onto balls that saw defenders out of shape scrabling to get back. As soon as that setup is not there he can't adapt at all because he doesn't have the skills for it. Link up play? minimal, back to defender holding the ball to bring others in? never seen it. Vision and top level passing? never seen it, tight space passing and control? never seen it.

I can't think of any other aspect of the game he is above average in. His free kick ability being lauded has always confused me to, he is not very good at them.

Personally i think he was very fortunate to have a team of allstars literally set up to feed him chances during his time at Real. Utd used to be a counter team which lent its self very nicely to Ronaldo's very specific attributes.

I hope he stays until his contract expires and probably will, no top team is buying him now so he can forget cl next year, at least at a team with a shout of winning. I still think talk of him coming here was nonsense in order to force utd's hand into a panic signing. He is the antithesis of a Pep player, i raised eyebrows but accepted Pep knows what he is doing but it always felt strange and i am more convinced than ever his agent was just using our name to get his aging client one last big money move.

GARY NEVILLE says he knows who is behind dressing room leaks at Old Trafford - and finds it "disgusting."

So it's not just the stand roof that's leaking? The place must be in imminent danger of falling down. Only a question of which collapses first - the team or the stadium.
 
The Rags are a bunch of entitled twats, Why are they getting on Ragneck back for him saying "Fourth is best they can hope for". He's just going honest it's the highest they can achieve. Do they want him to say "We are going to catch City". Fucking idiots.

The players know he's not going to be in charge in three months time and they can down tools.

It's fucking hilarious looking at the mess they are in, Roll on March 6th give these fuckers a proper doing.
