The residents of Gdansk in Poland thought they were the victims of some kind of practical joke when they ventured outside this morning.
They thought they had gone back 40 years and the dark days of communism, they'd not seen so many gaunt, frail scruffy bastards walking aimlessly around the streets clad in red and white flags whilst wearing donkey jackets and flared jeans.
They struggled with the language, what does "with a nic nac paddy wac give the dog a bone" actually mean.
This wasn't the same red army they'd seen previously walking their streets.
Realization then hit them, the history club had landed, the primarni army was in town.

The game wardens are out in Gdansk, reports of a massive herd of Zebras migrating through the town

Jetting him and his entourage there and back by private plane and his fee for playing in the charity match.

Aaah, the private plane, of course. Cheap at twice the price if you ask me.

Thankyou, it was a genuine question.

Just like Ferguson with the Glazers, they have highly selective memories when it comes to their ‘heroes’

That still leaves the better part of £75,000 unaccounted for. What on earth could be so expensive?

I seem to recall reading somewhere that there was a ball of money spent on the families of other players too.

Only this. I certainly don't remember any furore from the fans, much less the media, regarding it.

Maybe I have the same bias toward our great club as they to theirs (club that is, not great club), but I'd like to think that we, as a fanbase, would show disapproval if one of our legends had done likewise.

Evidently this sort of charitable behaviour costs a bunch of cash.

Ferguson there and front and centre still. Surely even their players must think this old fucker wont piss off
Epitomises a club unable to bring itself out of the past and into the present

For me he's pulling the strings behind the scenes, the paperboy is a front man.

Did I just hear Sammy McIlroy right there on Granada Reports?!! - "Ole is closing the gap on City"

You do realise that you can either change the channel or turn the TV off!!

I can but I found the whole thing amusing :-)
