What I don't get is how some folk seem to confuse "passion" and " a screaming torrent of obscenity" as the same thing and claim that you can't have one without the other. Show me a grown man who can't express his opinion in public without relying exclusively on graphic sexual imagery and I'll...

Took my 9 year old yesterday, two big lads sat down next to us, clearly had had a few pre match, I knew what was coming. First excuse, both stood up, red faced and started to yell something appropriately industrial then the 1 bloke notice my kid sat next to him and dialled it back, nudged his...

There's a myth that David Conn is a good journalist. I will confess that I haven't personally fact checked every article he ever wrote but the articles he has written about subjects with which I am familiar are consistently inaccurate and naive. They appear to be articles written by a somewhat...

David We know you read this forum, so here goes. I know you are only a sports rather than a real journalist but you are supposed to be the "brainy one".(However low that bar maybe in the Guardian Sports Department) When even the headline for your story contains two fundamental errors you need...

anyone who thinks top 4 is nailed on is unduly optimistic, anyone who thinks we are going to win the league is on something that probably requires a prescription. Since we scraped to the title on goal difference in the 94th minute of the last game we have lost Tevez Balotelli Johnson De Jong...

Dont need Garcia and Barry against a team paying 9-0-1 Get the Headin Gecko on for one of 'em.

Micky Robinson, in one post game interview said of Deyna "There were 21 of us players out there playing like radio 1, Kazi, he plays like radio 4" Never knew what he meant which is probably why it stuck with me.

Sources inside the club suggest that the club doctor has left. Sources outside the club (and inside our "news"paper) suggest that this is another chance to rehash any old bullshit we can think of from the last 12 months, stir in a new turd or two such as referring to Mancinis problems with...

It's the great unspoken truth. I'm sure his perspective is rooted in his Spanish experience where no one even denies it. Here I think it's driven also by the media and Sergio's proximity O'Telly. Take Shrek, granny shagging, public urinating, cheating on his pregnant wife, swearing into...

We are playing shit: We are undefeated. Played two of the Sky 4, got Stoke away out of the way. We are picking the wrong players: See above We are playing the wrong formation: See above The players don't know their roles: What? They forgot them over the summer? Bollox. We are getting away with...

Peter Crouch. Forward for the Harlem Globe Potters.

You're confusing a fans loyalty to a player versus to the club. Fans are loyal to the club, they can turn on individual players or, more often, a manager but they do it within the larger framework of a perceived loyalty to the club itself. The average modern footballer is loyal only to his own...

Manchester United’s manager said, "We invest in young players. That is what we are good at – we're not like other clubs who can spend fortunes on proven goods. We know that City are going to spend fortunes, pay stupid money, pay silly salaries and all that. We can't do anything about that. We...

That's brilliant reporting. There are 659,000,000 rags. According to that table 8.6% of United fans live locally which is about 57,000,000 people. 55% of Manchester is red therefore the population of Manchester has to be 100,000,000 people for those numbers to add up. No wonder you can't...

When I was a kid, early 70s, my Dad had seats in the North Stand. I reckon it was 2 years of going to every home game before I actually saw a goal coz everyone would stand up whenever we went forward. Now I take my kid (7 yrs old) and although I understand, it does irritate that he can never see...
