something to read and enjoy in these troubled times

Tired, worn Old Trafford a symbol of Manchester United's faded grandeur

Stadium was once a jewel but now it needs an urgent upgrade as Tottenham and others lead the way

And of course, the Glasers are going to finance that.

Has the been a Manchester derby just recently

Not for over a 100 or so years !

I think they were banking on England getting the world cup, and the 'free' money being spent on making their stadium fit for purpose (again).

It should seem fanciful that a future England world cup bid would include united as one of the stadiums, given the facilities already available in Manchester (at no additional 'free' cost) - but I fear Gill would be able to pull some strings and get Trafford it's long overdue and desperate upgrade, at the expense of others. History repeats, they cheats.

Sorry you are wrong. It hasn't always been unconcerned about debt. When it was first devised that was it's prime target, it was then that the history boys stepped in and told them to rewrite it.

So, never implemented :-)

Yep. I was about to edit my post and put a smile in case you thought I was having a go.

Just noticed that they aren't playing this round of the cup. They must have taken a strategic view and have tried to conserve their energy to face City in the derby.

To be fair, Sunday's their Cup Final! ;-)))

City seem to play a cup final 55+ times a season and keeping winning a majority of those. Even winning a half is an achievement for a few teams. Ole made his entire career on these cup finals. Arteta is doing the same.

Ole had a weirdly good record in derbies, particularly at our place.

They did have pace that made their bus-parking effective. Even Dan James looked above average as a Swansea and a United player. Ronnie has bluntd this. Kicking him and Fernandes early on once or twice will probably seal the game.

I think I might be asking a few of the rags at work who they are playing in the Cup tomorrow.
