Ugarte & the over rated Mainoo in centre mid are a disaster!

Bring back MacFred!!

Cannot find it now.

It is. The editor has stretched the skin and blurred the grassy area around him. His naval area is also the same size as a washing machine door window.

IF the picture I saw earlier was 100% genuine then he is still carrying some flab but nowhere near to this extent. For a professional athlete it was still a cause for concern.

I think we need to keep an eye on this referee (Thomas Bramall). I’ve only watched two halves of football in this tournament and he has given two of the softest penalties I’ve ever seen to the scum.

Ask Villa about him , cost them CL football after a dreadful one sided display at Waterworld in the last game of the season, disallowing a Villa goal for god knows what

That certainly looks like the one I saw but the one I saw could also have been slightly altered. Doesn't look quite as flabby.

"There is another pot to add to the Bangkok Century Cup, Snapdragon Cup and Defining Education Challenge Cup for Manchester United: the Premier League Summer Series trophy."



Doesn't get much better than this eh?

This is at odds with the statement from the rags that Barcelona would pay all of of Fish Fingers £350k a week.

Someone is lying.

They are not paying all his wages. I was at a wedding at the weekend and was told by a reliable source that it's 60/40. Unfortunately I didn't ask in who's favour.

He's not actually that fat.

It's just that the waistband on his shorts are too tight. ;-)

Mbueno been smashing too many Kinder Buenos over the summer.

He and Fatty Shaw will soon become best mates.

This is true and I can confirm that this very thing has happened to every single pair of strides that I own.

Sworn enemies more like when the sausage rolls and pies are brought in.

The sad bastards.

They really are fucked.

If I'm on the rag board and I read that pathetic attempt at a powder-puff piece; I'm clearing my desk and shaking my head as I'm leaving the building.

This is the crux of the debate around the rags being too big to be relegated.

People assume that the size of the club is synonymous with success. When pundits and commentators (there are no journalists anymore) use that tired worn-out rhetoric that Manchesniteh are too big a club to be relegated.

They are confusing the commercial revenues they bring in with success on the pitch. The two are exclusive.

The rags are experiencing an existential crisis which goes far beyond football. They are heading towards a lack of identity which is creating a void on and off the pitch and many of their fans (the ones who know the difference between football and hockey) are becoming disenfranchised.

This won't make that much of a difference initially, regarding their income streams. However, once the name of their club becomes more synonymous with the New York Stock Exchange than it does football, then even those fans (associates) who have never seen a football pitch will eventually lose interest.

They said that Manchester City was too big to go down in 1996, but we did.
