United Thread 2014/15 (continued)

[Mayor West]

I see that one of the specialised subjects on tonight's Mastermind on BBC2 is "Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson". I often watch it, having appeared on it, but I shan't be doing so tonight. I just hope (s)he doesn't win.

I look forward to a specialised subject "Manchester United under David Moyes", or "....under Louis van Gaal".

Wouldn't you just love to be the person setting the questions?

''Which team smashed 6 past United at OT in 2011?''
''The Maine Road Massacre was dubbed after which game against City?''
''How much did Fergie pay for Veron?''
''Which keeper left the reds and Fergie resigned him for 5m and never played him?''
'''Never in my life time'' was a line quoted by Fergie referring to what?''

Who was the keeper?

If they don't have the highest score when the two minutes is up will they get additional time?

Is it The Tactical Turtle or the Tactical Turtle ?

It is questions like this that fill my waking hour.

Not an expert but seem to think it depends. Is his nickname "Tactical Turtle" (TT) which means it would be "the Tactical Turtle", or is his nickname "The Tactical Turtle" (TTT) in which it would be "The Tactical Turtle" grammatically.

Presuming his nickname is TT as most use it on here then the grammatically correct way is "the Tactical Turtle"

You Sir are a gentleman, unlike crazy G who is just a slanderous ruffian.

Missed the "n" out before the "k".

Glad to help with the obvious spelling error.

You Sir, unlike Mr Damocles are a ruffian of the worst sort.

Sad as it was to watch Charles Kennedy's pissed performance on Question Time, he was still 100% more sensible and coherent than the turtle tosser.

Or perhaps:
Which well known United figure was well known for entering toilets in Cheshire hotel bars with a mirror in his top pocket?
