From AI :)

Kevin De Bruyne's mother was born in Burundi and has also lived in the Ivory Coast. His mother, Anna, is of Flemish descent and grew up in London after her parents moved to England for work. Kevin's father, Herwig, is Belgian. The De Bruyne surname is a Dutch surname meaning "the brown one".

Who can argue with AI?

I could, but I can't be bothered :)

Another huge Simon Stone/Mark Goldbridge (who can tell the difference?!?) fanzine post on the BBC ends with this duvet covered poster pinning gibberish.

"That is the thing with Manchester United. They are big news. They generate debate. Even when they are not very good, people still talk about them."

No Simon. You talk about them and apparently we, the public, pay by the word. Let me give you two more. Fuck off.

Just get on there and remind the fuckers that they can only match Pearce’s points total if they win

He came halfway through the season, he has had plenty of time to work with the players, the theory that europe has stopped him getting though his ideas is complete and utter nonsense and is a narrative being spun by the typical rag media to appease them and take them away from the idea that he hasnt got a fucking clue.

Well, lets be honest, can you name any manager in the history of football who has turned a team around in that length of time?

It's Belgian waffle.

It was sarcasm. It has literally happened thousands of times. Even John Bond turned us round from a far worse position and next to nothing to spend. You are usually much sharper than that.

Solskjær's managerial record with Utd was 54% win percentage, Ten Hag 55%, Mourinho 58%, Van gaal 52%, Moyes 53%, Amorim has 36%!

 

[ballbag]

So we got a green light to spit water at Guardian journalists. That's pretty cool.

 

[eastmanc]

You describe Pep’s tenure at City only as OK?
Wow

As was once said "unbelievable Jeff":-)

What a fabulous stat.

Have Abu Dhabi been allowed to back the purchase of the Telegraph today? Can't make head nor tail of it? On Sly News website.


A £500m deal to end the two-year ownership impasse at the Daily Telegraph has been agreed "in principle", it has been announced.

A consortium led by US firm Redbird Capital was set to take control of Telegraph Media Group (TMG), with state-backed Abu Dhabi investment vehicle IMI among the investors.

Now do one for league games only.

His 36% must include 6/7 or more Europa games.

 

[Matt Diablo]

He has done ok

I did expect us to have 2 CL by now

He threw one away, maybe players were not available

Seriously do one plankhead
