Still brings a tear to my eye.

I'm with you, mate. As we all are.

I was unlucky enough to be on the tram from Altrincham en route to Didsbury last night as they were all leaving the swamp. Awful. They were all pretty subdued and discussing Ronaldo, how some booed him and where he would end up. It was such a relief to get off the tram away from the scum.

I hope you thoroughly decontaminated before you entered your house?

As soon as I got to the pub. It was only two stops from Old Trafford to Cornbrook, then I had to endure them getting on the next tram at Trafford bar until I got off at Didsbury village. It felt like a lifetime.

Tbh I find it hilarious listening to them on the tram in recent seasons

Did that tw@t ever get sanctioned for smashing that kids mobile phone, or was it brushed under the carpet?

The kid and more so mummy were bought off but why the P.L. didn't act... oh wait.

Still waiting for the A. Madrid score.

I think Simon was still having a massage in Thailand at the end of his round the world jolly. Sorry I meant work trip. He's made up for it with a full match report on yesterday's game on the BBC Sport Website

How is that in ffp pay wages for a player who plays for another club ?

Or is the 11million straight into de jong bank account and he let's barca of for paying him.

Seems abit dodgy to me.

It all gets ironed out over time under FFP. There is no hiding the cost.

If Rags pay Barca the cash equivalent tio his owed wages then it would go down as part of the fee, but fees are spread out over the course of the contract anyway.

So; this Garnacho kid. Is he the next Macheda, Januzaj or Greenw Rashford then, or what?

He's pretty good, and he's only got a year left on his contract. He'd be smart to just sit tight until next summer and escape that mess.

Fair do's, the media seem to say its 480k a week. I thought that was after tax but perhaps not.
Even so, its still 2 mil a month. He is not fit enough to start next week and I would guess, will not start a match in August as the sulks and tantrums will only get worse.
They are desperate to keep him - he is desperate to leave (but nobody wants him)
2 million pounds a week.

Old Trafford has gone to town

I think you will find it was David Essex who sang those words.
