They've humbugged us, and they've caught us pretty flat-footed. I hope I'm wrong and we weren't naive enough to trust them and believe them whilst they've been blowing smoke up our arse for the last year or so.
"Humbugged us"? Is this some sort of North Manchester working-class expression as I'm regrettably unfamiliar with it?

I was paraphrasing, it's what Wellington said when the Tipu sultan stole a march on him.

Very common term in North Manc amongst the natives, everyone says it.

"Humbugged by god, the blighter has humbugged me!"

So, all things considered, does this increase or decrease my chances of shagging Natalie Sawyer?
I'd say they were about the same, mate.

I was afraid you'd say that.
That micro penis comment hit home harder than a Kolarov volley.

We obviously can't say 'fuck off' to UEFA, unfortunately as much as I've personally found it somewhat under whelming, we need the Champions League more than it needs us. Obviously we don't need it for the money, we've got loads of that, but we need it to attract the right players and for the prestige.
So somehow we've got to work out an acceptable solution to this mess and that's probably going to mean accepting something that we all believe is unjust, biting our tongue, and moving on. The big problem we seem to have is lack of support for our cause. We have no allies, PSG appear to think they can rely on Platini to sort them out and the 'big boys' all want to see us hammered. Our own media, with the exception of Martin Samuel, is backing the opposition preferring to report the UEFA propaganda rather than actually act like real journalists and investigate the regulations fully.
If I'm honest, I'm pissed off like I can't begin to describe, albeit not surprised. Let's hope this serves as motivation to to the players tomorrow night and not the opposite.
We've begun to get a lot more support in the media recently, I think it's starting to sink in with a lot of people how ridiculous these regulations really are. Could be something to do with Liverpool being due to fail them next year as well tbf.

No, it's the same as sandbagging. But we're nowhere near a beach, and close to a sweet shop.

Hope this helps.

Is anyone surprised? This is a photo of UEFA's licensing Committee

And look who is front left centre, Chairman of the UEFA Licensing Committee - David Gill, former CEO of Manchester United.

Top left is Walter White!

Next to Michael Stipe?
Is that a cross-dressing lesbian in the red tie?

moreso the papers.

Ah, the dreaded meejer.
I'm with the programme now.
Tin foil hat donned - by the way, don't you think it's weird how the twin towers fell like that?

no, I just find it peculiar that despite knowing it was going to be the end of the week they've held onto this little gem which I suspect they were only going to use to put the pressure on or try and destabilise us in the title race, and take the heat off Liverpool, the only reason this is out today imo and not on thursday/friday is because Liverpool fucked up last night, cue first thing the next morning, without a UEFA statement, this comes out.

Yes, the timing of this is no coincidence on UEFA's or the media's part.
