Ha ha I remember speaking to this guy at Wealdstone before the 2013 cup final.
He was getting mobbed then too by pissed up blues.
Iirc he told me he was from Irlam

Everyone great in the world is from irlam :)

Jessie 'the Kid' Lingard has stated a wish to transfer to West Ham to try to win silverware before his long career as a child star comes to an end. He said that United's ambitions do not match his own.

Even their potential outgoings are described as "stars" in the media. Last week a team were linked with United star Jesse Shingard.

Any player leaving us is usually referred to as a City flop.
Quite a contrast...

We know that – it doesn't matter who posted it, it's disgraceful... but the press are loving it as it's distracted everyone from a woeful performance and result.
A more cynical person may even suggest these posts could be 'planted' on social media for just such a reason.

As well as that, if it happened at an unfavoured club, they wouldn't omit that the source was from within their own fanbase as they have so far. They'd use it in the headline and centre the story around it.

Not on the bulletin just before 0900 either.
Here is the News. There is none - due to unforeseen circumstances.

No sign of any goal highlights on 'NWest Tonight' either.. just the Everton and Burnley games.. Mind, they were probably short of time for the sports bulletin given that it was on with barely 10-12 minutes of the programme left.. But I was so looking forward to seeing their first class performance in once again scaling the summit of the Premier League.. there had been such excitement created by the build up to this much anticipated event yesterday.. heads should roll for such an omission..

BT trolling Ferdinand...

BBC described Di Maria as "former United playmaker" the other day.

The only play he made was for the exit door.

In a battle of United vs Liverpool who would the media favour? Or is it dependent on circumstances? Or would it be some favour United and others Liverpool?

The actual frame they used when drawing the lines was also mostly in WBA's favour too as it was when the ball was leaving Cancelo's foot for the pass to Bernie

I thought quite a few of our players were looking to other clubs (usually with 'istree) "to end their Etihad nightmare".
