The greatest irony of their demise is that it has been caused by the pisscan - on and off the pitch.

On the pitch he left a side in decline and single handedly forced the club to accept Moyes, in whom he thought he saw a manager in his own image - the fucking arrogance of the man.

Off the field he dropped the biggest bollock of all when he fell out with Magnier and McManus which led to them selling their shareholding to the Glazers.

I despise the bloke as a man, forget the fact he managed those pricks, so that this is his real legacy is just perfect, fucking perfect.

The caff awakens....


Went to sleep thinking Mourinho was all but done and now wake up to a nightmare that Giggs might get the job!!!!!!!

If Giggs is appointed then I'm done..

I honestly dont think the rags will be much better than this year even with Mourinho at the helm. Unless they put in another 200 million (but without championsl league it will be the same average players they have been buying for way too much money), I really think they will strugle greatly and could see Mourinho sacked again within 2 years

After what happened at Chelsea who would want to play for the twat, he is going to have a tough time recruiting IMHO ;)

I would be nervous if they were to appoint Mo now as there is no doubt that they would get an immediate short-term up-swing in form. With us in the state of torpor that we seem to be experiencing, that 6 point gap feels a little vulnerable. Beyond this season though, Mo @ the rags is an absolute dream in terms of sealing their final denouement.

I'm questioning whether 'final denouement' is tautological. I'm open to persuasion......

Tautological it is GDM.

Open to debate, is he over emphasising the end? I'm not sure.

It was the anniversary of the Munich air tragedy a couple of weeks ago and, among all the tributes, perhaps you missed the way Phil Jones marked the occasion, by posting the iconic photograph of the Busby Babes on his Twitter account and, for reasons probably known only to him, emblazoning the picture with his own promotional branding. “Never forget,” Jones solemnly noted above the lineup of Duncan Edwards, Tommy Taylor and all the rest, decorated with the logon details for @PhilJones4 as well as instructions for his Facebook, where to see his Instagram pictures, his Weibo micro-blogging account for fans in China, and topped off with his signature, PJ4, in the top corner. “Never forget” – and click here if you want to see a photo of Phil stroking his pug dogs on an expensive-looking sofa.

Anyone surprised? No, me either.

It's certainly a tautology but I now find myself questioning whether questioning is a gerund...

I'm not entirely sure. A play divided into two parts, could have a denouement to its first act. That wouldn't serve as finality to the whole piece, but rather that portion of it.

I would say 'questioning' is a gerund, but that doesn't militate against its validity in the context of the post.
