[The slaughtered lamb]

Definitely well connected to Manchester and City.

Reports facts and presents rational arguments as opposed to sensational supposition. Martin Samuel has been consistent and surprisingly still has a job with the Mail which is a Rag rag.

Love his article underneath about Neville and other pundits hawking players to their former clubs. So true.

Holy crap on a cracker Batman - a hugely positive article on BBC website about turning point 10 years ago with the 1-6 at Trafford!

What will the Super League look like when it comes back?

Plans are already underway to revive the Super League after April's failure - and one potential version involves not 20 clubs but 140

theathletic.com

At the same time, there is suspicion towards Manchester City, given how quickly they pulled out. One Big Six source talks of a “massive falling out with City” after April’s events. Eyebrows were raised at some Big Six rivals last month when City’s chief executive Ferran Soriano pushed for a seat on the ECA’s executive board last month, citing his desire to restrict excessive spending.

Micah and Nedum.

One is highly intelligent, thoughtful, well spoken and had a great education.
The other says what he thinks he should say, thinks Foden should have gone out on loan, made the front page of the tabloids for a reason.

Quite right. I was a fan of both players and thought they were very decent men. Micah comes a second-best to Nedum intellectually and chooses to fill the gaps with noise, either verbal or uncontrolled laughter.

If he actually feels Baconface always treated MCFC with respect then he is more stupid than he often appears.

 

[Protein Junkie]

I'm old enough to have been around during the Mercer v Busby days. Both absolute gentlemen, they got on well and always showed great respect for each other. Both had great success without bullying, snarling, making snide comments and generally mouthing off. Despite my total enmity towards United, I didn't particularly dislike Busby, but I always despised Ferguson. A horrible, aggressive, conniving, tyrannical, devious, degenerate toss-pot and the human personification of the contents of septic tank.
As I once heard my local Indian table waiter say to a customer "May the fleas of a thousand camels infest his armpits"

Where as the Guardian no doubt hope” the fleas of a thousand armpits infest Camels”

A very pleasant read indeed.

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

Completely agree, treated us with contempt. Does Micah not remember the mocking banner, references to noisy neighbours, small club and not in my lifetime. Loved how Mancini didnt fawn over him like many other managers.

MARTIN SAMUEL: Why is Saudi cash worse than from white guys in US?

MARTIN SAMUEL: It is fine for Manchester United to use the country as a revenue stream, but not for Newcastle United, who are owned by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia.

wow, what a very interesting read, thanks for posting Prestwich. Also loved the article on Neville. He has made him look very silly with simple logic and facts.

The daily mail tweeted the article and the Rabin parody burner account has attacked it lol. I have my suspicions as to who created the account but he's too much of a shit the bed to use his own account to attack martin.
