I would be terrified if he "faced" me.

Unless he "faced" me with one of his funny faces.

So many to choose from!!

 

[mat]

Looks like they have a Bailly and Lindelof centre back pairing to look forward to for a few weeks.

Ha.

But Phil is fit again?

I think we should offer him a way out so he ends his career on a high as a thank you for everything he's done.

I'm afraid the mental gymnastics required to resolve this particular conundrum are way above my limited capabilities............

One of their partners is Gulf Oil.

Shush now @SPIDERBOY , that's different and you know it............. ;-)

To be fair it is different
Gulf oil is American, not like that dirty middle Eastern oil

 

[Bonzo Nododo]

Is there a difference ??

Many of his faces are very scary, scare me anyway.

Spoilt for choice one might not say.

Duncan Jones is the new Phil Edwards

Ah yes The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, great work and his brother Victor who could forget him what a great razor that was.

And of course his cousin Will K Hayyam,member of a popular beat combo and T.V. talent-show judge.

The phantom face puller of old Trafford Town stalks the mean streets of Alderley by night.

Great idea. We do need a concierge for the teams Halloween party later this month.

The closest I got was..

“Phil Jones is another in a long line of fuc#ing shite rags who were once touted as the soon to be best in the world”

But that's because you didn't choose your team based entirely on who was most likely to win everything. If you do that sort of thing, it can feel pretty pointless when they stop winning.

This is exactly the point I've been making for years.

I lived in London in the early to mid nineties and I couldn't believe the amount of cockney rags I came across. Recognising my accent the first thing they asked me was: "do you support Younited?" "No. I'm from Manchester, so obviously I support Manchester City" came my reply.

The real question is: "why do you support them when you've got so many local teams to choose from?"

I kid you not the most common reply I got was: "Well cos dare the best ain't de"

I always asked them the same question: "what are you going to do when they're no longer the best?"

Following their obligatory look of bewilderment that etched their southern faces the retort was often: "well; spose I'll find meself anover club then ain't it"

For years I've had my suspicions that the majority of rag fans were cut from the same cloth as those shallow cockney supporters I encountered. I also suspected that once the rags were no longer top dogs in the premier league there would be a mass exodus of support from the club.

What baffles me is despite the rags being bang average for the past eight years they still manage to attract a significant fan base.

Haha, the M.E.N. managed it in a two page bastard spread when he signed. ;-)

That is where the media comes into play, the rags and the media/sky created these rags and the rag fans , it's hilarious to watch it all.
