Maly Wilson said:Hate the guy, but love the fact that it was one of my family members who arrested him on his tax evasion in the 80's. Great collar for a blue dibble.
And I am told his chips are shite and over-priced as well.Montgomery Burns said:Was he asked why he thought 'United didn't deserve the sending off'.
I'd be interested in hearing his justification!

Lou Macari, the former manager of Swindon Town, told a court last year that ex gratia payments to players and staff were widespread. Cash was frequently paid tax-free, he claimed.

Quite interesting given the recent allegations about certain referees being in the pay of far eastern betting syndicates. Money talks, as always.
