Sunderland fans did us proud that day. Top drawer shithousery from them.

Haha that twat with the hat with Busby on his back.

The sweaty tramp in the green tracksuit top offering out the home fans

Lots of Easter eggs in that video.

It won't challenge the Arsenal crowd clip as the best ever, but rewatching it can bring a new nugget of previously unseen misery on every viewing ;)

Trafford Council has published its draft 15-year framework for 215 acres encompassing the football stadium, Imperial War Museum North, and Victoria Warehouse – a vision that includes up to 5,000 homes and a new primary school.



The local authority worked alongside Peel, Salford City Council, and Manchester United on the draft Trafford Wharfside Development Framework, which will be discussed at an executive committee meeting on 26 February.

This seems sacrilegious, but I'd put nothing past the rag cu*ts

Jim has a track record of not paying a penny for stadiums, and tax-funded stadiums are the working model for the US. Can imagine there is a bigger play that's going to come into daylight, one that's been worked on behind the scenes and has been fundamental to Jim's investment here.

Classic big ask move - started a week ago with 'Wembley of the North' leveling up funding which the whole nation tells you to get fucked on, now reality is it'll be the local governments helping fund a new stadium and its development. Still equally egregious.

Scruffy Jim has bought voting shares that mean nothing when he can be outvoted by the lovely Glazers, also if it all goes tits up (And it will) he gets the blame and gets pelters.

It's going to be an interesting few years watching them fail and fail again.

Access to funding will be interesting. The Glazers still hold the purse strings and, if he wants to invest he either has to beg them for money, borrow or put his own money in. Let's see what happens the first time he says he wants half a billion to invest.

The Glazres took, what?, £10m a year out. They have agreed to forgo dividends for three years. I assume he will be allowed to spend that much. Will buy half a fullback.
Mind you, Jim didn’t become mega rich without knowing a trick or two. Watch this space.

Here we see the difference between the two clubs on infrastructure building. North stand expansion, new arena, training ground, half of Ancoats all ploughed on with and no begging bowls out to get it done. Whilst with their new part owner they have to come up with Wembley of the North bollocks and a request for money off the tax payer.
