I really fucking hate Fernandes, Garnacho not too far behind, Antony close as well, Martinez right up there. That team is full of horrible dislikeable cunts!
I honestly find them (players and fans alike) more dislikeable now than back when they were dominant and winning everything.

The fans are just as arrogant as ever with zero humility and the players are even more dirty, snide, entitled and disrespectful now than they were under the Pisscan.
 
I see Sky are still showing the most overrated goal of the season on their "Anything you want..." promo montage.

The commercial itself as a whole don't interest me in wanting to subscribe.
 
How many players were actually sent off retrospectively.
I only remember Aguero.
That reeked of corruption.
There was that red for Torsten Frings at the 2006 world cup after Germany and Argentina players got into a "melee".

Still, that's only because the Italians were being arseholes insisting on it when they were not even involved, as a RAI TV camera picked it up and sent it to FIFA.

Has anyone mentioned SWPs retrospective 3 match ban after t Stoke away against Delap which was sponsored by a obsessed MSM campaign
 
Loads of plays have got retrospective bans though. It doesn’t tend to happen now VAR is in place though.

They were common before it though.
Yes but they were players who were not carded during a game but retrospectively given a red. I was referring to players who were given a yellow that was later upgraded to a red after the game. It only happened once and commentators have frequently pointed out, before and since, that this can never happen under PL/FA rules. How many times has a player received a yellow only for commentators to say "He's a lucky boy"?
 
Remember this one (the first on the video) - the David Gill briefed officials retrospectively decided that it was just a coming together;-

 
The media will put their spin on things when it comes to the Rags to make them happy.

Ragcliffe owns 25% of the football club, Apparently he's in charge of the "football side of things"...Yet he wants taxpayers to buy him a new stadium.

The Glazers are still top dogs at the shithole as they are the majority stakeholders.

Only time will tell if the scruffy fucker will put his own money where his mouth is.

The thing is: I cant see how he puts his own money in other than as another loan. Can you imagine how that would go down?

He can't buy more shares, the money would just go to the people selling again. I suppose the PLC could issue more shares to Ratcliffe, but that dilutes the existing shareholders and would be difficult I imagine. He could invest in the UK football company, but I guess that would also involve complex shareholder agreements in the US?

I suppose he could finance, build and own a new stadium himself and rent it to the club. But again, how would that go down?

It's looking like more and more loans is the most likely ....
 
Fucking hell you do like to labour a point don't you? What does a takeover mean to you? Here's one of the many definitions out there. They all basically say the same thing.

" A takeover occurs when one company makes a successful bid to assume control of or acquire another."

The media are constantly saying he's taken over Manchester United. He hasn't. Whatever role he has in the club is irrelevant, he hasn't acquired it or taken it over. If they said he's taken over the footballing side of the club that's probably correct but it's a different thing altogether than what they're implying.

I wonder what actual legal basis there is to him "taking over the football side". There must be something contracted or the Glazers could just remove that "right" as they still have their 75%.
