I know its old but this makes me smile when things arent going the way you want:
Manchester United supporters could be forgiven for displaying mild signs of shell shock this morning. If waking up to discover you were the second richest club in Manchester wasn't bad enough, now they might have to think twice before hopping in their car.
That's because Noel Gallagher, the Oasis musician and diehard Manchester City supporter, has fuelled the rivalry between the city's biggest football clubs by saying that every gallon of petrol United's fans use goes directly into Mark Hughes's transfer kitty.
The football world remains in shock following Monday's announcement at Eastlands that the ruling family of Abu Dhabi, the oil-rich Gulf state, are preparing to buy out Thaksin Shinawatra, the former Prime Minister of Thailand.
The £34.2 million capture of Robinho from Real Madrid plus a bid for Dimitar Berbatov, which forced United to up their offer to Tottenham Hotspur, further signalled City's intent to overtake United as the biggest club in the world.
