What was the Davy Jones one?

It was in the Vardy case. The barrister referred to her losing her phone to Davy Jones locker and she replied she didn’t know who he was

Neville on a new podcast (Diary of a CEO) saying City will never be as big as utd. Don't have the history apparently.

To be fair to him (and not saying I agree with him fully) he speaks well on other stuff to do with politics, mental health, the media in this country etc.

Bit confused, did he mention which period of history ? can’t be the last ten years, as we’ve bossed that period

And in another ten years, when we’ve been top dog for 20 years, and United haven’t won a cup to piss in, can he then admit that we’re a bigger(more successful) club ?

Moving from the European champions for "slightly more money" but he can have a big payday if they get into the CL. Who dreams up this shite?

united fan Crafton does.

History as defined by a 30 year period … same as it ever was …

Don't want to be as big as 'em, I just want us to be better than 'em!

I so hope this is real

I thought the Davy Jone’s Locker one was fabulous

Taken verbatim from the trial report, the bloke is as thick as pig shit.

Got told I was a 'Bitter Bertie' last night. A colleague of a friend of mine was waxing lyrical about the old days:"Football's not the same anymore." "It's changed so much I don't recognise the game anymore." The usual self-pitying bleating that these no-marks are famous for.
I said: "No. It's still fundamentally the same game, it's just that you rags can longer outbid EVERY club in the Prem to get what you want. You can longer have referees and other officials ask 'how high?' when you tell them to jump. You can no longer rely so much on people like Howard Webb and Mark Clattenburg to get you over the line when you need a win."
And his response was, "No wonder people call you Bitter Berties."

I was hoping I would be able to have a serious conversation with the man about football. Prem league, Championship, World Cup etc, anything to do with football, but I would have had a more intellectually fulfilling conversation with a bus stop than this cretin.

I'd disagree with your point that united no longer have officials in their pocket... they still get plenty of blatantly favourable decisions and lenient treatment, the difference is these days all it really does is help them avoid complete humiliation rather than help them to gain an undeserved win.

I was discussing united elsewhere (where I too am also referred to as a "Bitter Bertie") one of the united fans there actually didn't dispute my assertion that united get favourable treatment from the officials... but he claimed united were somehow entitled to it and it was a sign of the respect and admiration that these officials held for the proud and honorable institution that is Manchester United Football Club.

Honestly the delusion, entitlement and arrogance of these people is off the scale.
