[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Which isn’t even written by him. Conversation with his ghost writer probably went like this:

Ghost Writer: Right Wayne, paper needs 1500 words by tomorrow, what topic should we cover this week

WR: nited

GW: We can’t keep writing about them every week otherwise people might think we are some sort of marketing propaganda for them. We need to be transparent at all times.

WR: I am no trans parent

GW: I said transparent not trans, oh never mind, I need a topic to writ3 about

WR: nited

GW: How about we write about what a great team City are and all the negative press they receive is unjustified

WR nited done treble, City not great

GW: Okay, let’s write about how nited can stop them winning the treble

WR: Yeah, let’s

EXCLUSIVE: SIR ALEX FERGUSON TO OPERATE VAR AT FA CUP FINAL


In a shock move head of PGMOL Howard Webb has appointed the legendary Manchester United manager as VAR Match Commander for the FA Cup final tie with their smaller rivals City.

"When the great Sir Alex called me to offer his service how could I turn down such an opportunity" Webb said with his trademark beaming smile.

The Red Devils hope to defeat the state owned, financial fair play cheats in the first ever Manchester Derby cup final. As do the majority of the country who want to see this history laden club of England destroy their Arab owned Mancunian rivals.

Mr Webb also revealed that Gary Neville offered to officiate the game along with his brother Phil and Paul Scholes running the line with Rio Ferdinand as forth official. The former police officer turned down this request for fear of any accusations of bias towards the World's Greatest Club®

I think Rio would be running a line


Up his nose with a £10 note....allegedly

It’s tough for him. Does he toe the line or say what he thinks and get fitted up fo grooming runners. I’ll get the “Free Alan Shearer” t-shirts printed up.

Lol, 9am? What year was that? I think 11.00/11.30am is the earliest I remember. But yeah, it was always the best time of the year. What with often English teams in finals of the 3 Euro comps, you had for one month every year, glut of live footy on the tv:
Cup winners cup final
Uefa cup final
Fa Cup final
European cup final
Home internationals x3

All in what felt like the space of a month.

I remember one year, might have been 1984 Everton v Watford, the BBC was on the train with Everton and their left back John Bailey.
Then it was with the coach leaving the hotel for Wembley.

Was defo an all dayer on tv for the cup final.

Just looked that one up mate, and yep, part of the show was on the train down from Lime Street.
Mind you they also had Freddie Starr & Michael Barrymore at the two team hotels.
This was on bbc, and it started at 11am. That’s the earliest start time they’ve ever had I think.

MOTD end of season montage last night with the Manchester Orchestra playing ‘love will tear us apart’ - then right at the end as Gundo lifts the trophy they bring in the sound of the fans singing “city, tearing cockneys apart again” - loved that!
