I've heard tell tent peg is buying the sheiks' old sofas, just to check if there is any money stuffed down the back of 'em....

No because it was allegedly postponed under police advice ,which very conveniently lets them off Scot free

So here is a question. When discussing how to handle a celebratory pitch invasion, is it police advice to the minimum-wage stewards and 200 police that they should hold firm against 20,000 fans? Or that they should let it happen in a controlled way with steps taken to secure players and officials?

If the latter, why the different outcome in terms of pitch invasions compared to the OT invasion?

When Sheikh Knighton Hedgefund gets them, they'll be getting new scarves out and chanting Glazers In!

This is literally the dumbest skill I've even seen a footballer do. It literally progresses nothing. All you have to do as a defender is stand still whilst he does his little turn on the catwalk then when he's turned 360 degrees just kick him anyway. Any skill which has the same end product as not doing it is just a pointless waste of £80m. He got more yellow cards than goals last year

Remember baconface telling Ronaldo off for pointless stepovers?

The sad thing is they just refuse to acknowledge they are fucking skint? They borrowed the money for transfers last summer and have outstanding transfer payments of over £400m as well??

Ye. But, but, but. Qatar are gonna come in and pay all the debts off!

The problem with the sale of the Rag's is that the moment any prospective buyer gets a sniff at the financial accounts they sh*t themselves at the eye-watering level of debt loaded onto the club.

They only have themselves to blame.

This is what I don't get.

Even these potential buyers who no doubt are using the best forensic accountants available in this multi-billion pound transaction still can't establish a clear picture of united's finances... and yet the football authorities have no concerns at all as to whether united's finances comply with FFP.

That's because the football authorities have got no interest in whether the rags comply with FFP or not.

It wasn't designed to hamper them.

This is a perfect illustration of that old adage: "one rule for us and one rule for you"

Well, for once a few of them are developing a sense of humo(u)r. As always, the funniest jokes cut closest to the truth . . .

I remember saying to a rag at work after the 6-1 annihilation.

"If it's your intention to continue supporting that club you'd better develop a sense of humour pronto"

I am happy to report he no longer follows football.

Also spotted there are only 10 on this team. Howson and his lot aren’t known for their brains, nor wit.

Might as well be Celtic
