[East Level 2]

A note of caution to everyone writing the rags off, after the sick swan they came back to only lose the league on goal difference. They probably had s better team then and certainly a much better manager, but one bad result settles nothing, just makes the scousers giddy. Don't think the champions of England or the champions of Europe played this weekend, barely mentioned.

I get the feeling the 2011-12 title race might have been over with a game or two to spare had Carlos Tevez not spent 5 months on the golf course following his bust up with Bobby Manc in Munich.

As surely as night follows day after a ragga loss the good old bbc do a huge positive Simon Stone rag piece. They are, wait for it, going to develop the ground and make it into an 80,000 stadium.
At the end of a very lengthy pr piece there is the line there is no date when work will start........ and yes I am sure this was all mentioned months ago but dint let that stop the beeb

will they be locking the poor fckers in.

I'm confused.

Has Ashton run out of places to send St Marcus or no almost slanderous stories about City or our players to distract from this humiliation?

Keep plodding along quietly picking up wins and they will have to start acknowledging us.

The story is five years old and still hasn't got a timescale. Just the usual PR guff. It would have been a front page lead for the Fantasy Island Gazette.

Man United consider expanding Old Trafford capacity to 88,000

Manchester United are considering increasing the capacity of Old Trafford to 80,000 with the option to then add another 8,000 seats should they wish. It has been a decade since Old Trafford last underwent expansion, when the club increased the number of seats from 68,000 to 76,000 in a...

Hence why I don’t read newspapers. They are full of sh*t with Journalists stealing a living. If only the vast majority of people realised and accepted that and stopped buying newspapers.

The vast majority don’t buy newspapers.

That story has been rehashed in the Daily United twice in the last Week and a half. If the Daily United can’t make up an article about United, Ole, or the United players, they will dig up anything about United and make an article out of it, just to keep United relevant and the clicks coming in.

True. But.

Sadly the Daily United occupy the top 2 spots by a mile.

Just seen the BBC's Simon Stone on the local news and he was indistinguishable from the rrags on Harpurhey market they were interviewing. Never realised he was that rough looking. Came across as your usual deluded red fan. How on earth does he get to put questions to Pep for the BBC?

Andy fucking Mitten on the Monday night club. Little fanzine weasel.

Scumbag of all scumbags

Newcastle/Sunderland and Portsmouth/Southampton fans might disagree

Also Seagles vs Eagulls

BBC News have a story on a Saudi dissident calling their leader a psychopath. They managed to shoehorn a Newcastle reference into it.

Welcome to our world Barcodes.

Tonights running order on the Daily United online.

The Daily United has wheeled their big guns out. Samuel, Ladyman, and Herbert. A real journalistic old boys club.

Ladyman has decided to pick the United team to face Spurs on Saturday for Ole.

As you can see, the articles combined have generated millions of comments and shares.

Don't worry, City get a mention as well.

Glazer neglect says Herbert once again living up to his name. Neglecting them by lavishing billions on them.

Hate the way he and other idiots use Liverpool as an example of a brilliantly run club in contrast to Utd. In the last decade Utd have won more trophies.

I suppose if he is using liverpool as an example of how a club about to enter administration a little over a decade ago, begged and received state aid from a government owned bank, and then were sold for a low price to American owners who will make a sizeable profit if/when they are sold (well over a billion profit, not to mention the PL money they mostly pocket each season), then I suppose they are a success story for American venture capitalism.
