Just thought I’d drop this in here. Feb 2019

Manchester United is delighted to announce that Phil Jones has signed a new contract, which will keep him at the club until June 2023, with the option to extend for a further year.
Phil Jones said:

“I am delighted to have signed a new contract. Manchester United has been a big part of my life for eight years and I love everything about this club.
"I am excited about the challenges that lie ahead of us as we prepare for a very busy period in the season. I would like to thank Ole and the coaching staff for their continued support in my development.”

if he hangs for a while maybe he will get a testimonial

Is he asleep - there have been two managers (sic) since Ole

I would like to thank Ole and the coaching staff for their continued support in my development.”

The reason being, fill in the missing letters Y-n-s.

Punning aside, given that there is a bit of fisticuffs going on between ukraine and an aggressor Russia… and the said aggressor has 1.5k ‘observer’ troops in the breakaway region of Transnistria in Moldova, propping up the unrecognised separatist regime, whilst sitting on ukraines western border… you would have thought some of the high and mighty ‘sportswashing’ journalists might have made anything more about how can United be playing a team from there, given the circumstances, or why uefa hasn’t thrown Sheriff Tiraspol out, or at least forced them to play in a neutral country…

Or maybe it’s just me

Systemic Cityism at play.

Fortunately his 'limited one trick' is scoring goals

Imagine if your goalkeeper's one-trick was saving every ball that came at him...

Thurssssssday nights, are eurooooooopa nights. Europa on thurssssssday nigggggghts!

They still got that hilariously over the top trying-too-hard ad this year, with the big hair rock band and 1980s squiggly neon graphics?

8 articles in the sun newspaper after last night's win against Sheriff lol

1 for West Ham after they also won away from home.

Ronaldo Is back after scoring a penalty and Sancho is an hero.

Heard Utd referred to a being "Still the talent factory it ever was"....Now that sentence is possibly factually correct due to the opaqueness of the English language...However I think it was meant as a compliment.

I'm struggling to think of who was the last true talent to come through the system and be sold for top dollar.

There could well be a blindingly obvious one that my hatred of the Tw@s wont let me remember

They've sang about killing a Glazer haven't they?

Yes they’ve changed the words to “City’s Gonna Die”, and sing;
“They’re gonna die
They’re gonna die
Oh the Glazers are gonna die
How we’ll kill them I don’t know
Chop me up from head to toe
All I know’s the Glazers are gonna die”

Boooo I want our happy ditty back.

In all seriousness, sing about anything iffy at almost any club and it's all over the press, I don't just mean us, Campbell Arse/Spurs being an example.

This lot go/went on about stabbing and killing City fans with knife crime rife and now their owner and nothing is ever said.
