'Drones and fans dropping substances on the pitch'
Us old uns will remember a song we used to sing.....
'If I had the wings of a sparrow
And I had the arse of of a crow
I'd fly over Old Trafford tomorrow
And shit on the bugers below.

All together now....
Shit on, shit on, shit on the bugers below, below.

I'm here all week folks.

Was that you that shit into Ashley Young's gob?

Perhaps they’re all barred by Uber and had to wait for the bus.

We don’t have vulgar things like busses or pavements in leafy Cheshire. We don’t want to encourage peasants to visit.

 

[halfmist]

Posh ****.

Posh, no, Rich, yes.

Is that a warehouse

No.

It’s a shithouse!

A so called Dutch football expert on slysoprts news just said the rags have great centre half's.

I thought I was still pissed from last night.
But no after rewinding it he definitely just said it.

One of them cost £80 million, dontchaknow. And worth every last penny of it for entertainment value, if you ask me.

Where the fuck was this pub? Either the CEO lives nowhere near the club or their fans don't (although we knew this).

'We didn't travel an hour and half drive to ask him about transfers'. Really so what did you travel for, ask him about season ticket renewals, the resurfacing of the local roads or when is the date for Magliars trial? Utter joke

He doesn’t actually live near the Pub, he lives nearer to Chester so
unlikely to be his Local. Kept the Riff Raff as far away as possible from his home and neighbours.

Louis van gaal told Jurrien Timber not to join the rags the deal has fell through fuckin comedy Gold

Butthead’s getting his revenge.

I’m guessing Lingard was one of the leaks but who was the other one?

 

[its grim up north]

Richard Arnold. The other one.

The Real one.

Just browsing the newspaper's "transfer rumours" to find out what is ( supposed ) to be happening at City : actually, not a lot - just Cucurella and Phillips. However, over there in Stretford it's a different story !

Darwin Nunez £111M "have submitted a bid to sign"
Frankie de Jong £70M "has cleared out his locker / 4/1 ON to come to OT"
Tyrell Malacia £16M "trying to sign"
Raphina £47M "have outbid Barcelona"
Brennan Johnson £40M "exploring"
Antony £32M "their bid turned down"
Denzel Danilies £21M "in a race to sign"
Vitinha £34M "favourites to sign"
Jude Bellingham £78M "RM have competition from MU"
Danny Ings £18M "linked with"
Vinicius Jnr £90M "enquired about"
Christopher Nkunku £100M "interested"
Tammi Abraham £45M "looking to bring back to England"
Jurrien Timber £32M "have made a move for"
David Raum £34M "joined the race for"
Daniel Bachmann £4M "considering a move for" ( from Watford )

You Could Not Make It Up !.... could you ! ( Wait a Minute ? )

Apologies to those whom I've omitted ( they must be gutted ) . WOW ! that's over a Billion Pounds-Worth of talent destined for the Theatre of Despair. Seems those season tickets aren't selling as well as they might and the OT faithful need assurances that the dross they had to endure last season will be replaced by something more attractive. For what it's worth - my money is on the little known Daniel Bachmann. Anyway, the rag's top man ( Richard Arnold ) assures their fans that "money is no object" which might explain ManUre's collapsing share price.

I'm sure David Gill will have reassured his beloved football club that his ( "get City" ) FFP rules will not apply to ManUre ( no conflict of interest there ? )

They are like the way Barcelona now conducts its transfers. Go in for 50 players in the hope a few will take the money and join you. But it also shows the Media have no clue, they make things up for clicks
