If he was a shop steward, he's the type who would have all the workers out on strike freezing their bollocks off on the picket lines while he's sat at home quaffing champagne with his wages paid.

I remember a few suddenly resigning from the union & accepting senior management positions after being rewarded for rolling over in negotiations.

Sly Sports placed ratboy into the elevated position he now enjoys. This giant broadcasting company gave him a platform from which he could verbally condemn the Glazers, pass judgment on the numerous rag managers that come and go, and incite hatred and violence from the zebra-clad morons that frequent the swamp. In effect, Sly gave this jumped-up little shop steward a power equal to that of a Downing Street cabinet - and still some people subscribe to them.

I saw Neville.on his own,black suit,Euston Station London.one mid week day.. circa 2000 I'd been down there for some Law exams.i passed by him in the crowd.dont think anyone else had spotted him.

It was just before it was to be announced he would be the BBC star footy pundit...
I distinctly remember him having a real smug look on his face..

Looking back, ..I would say...he had just signed the BBC contract that day.There was no other reason for the bury born utd fullback to be suited and booted in London midweek...

BBC started the path,Sky elevated him to a different level...but I imagine the .plan ,at the time, was for him to be waxing lyrical about Manchester utd and how great they are ..blah.

Things turned out rather differently...

Forgive me …….

Sorry @cheekybids. I didn't even know you'd quoted the time. Just thought I'd be helpful to the other punters. I'll make sure I read it properly next time. It's been a bad week, two TVs blowing up, then yesterday, then other half's steering rack going tit's up when she picked me up from the match.

I’ve just heard the rags' anthem on Boom Radio:

My God, is this a Wind-Up or a Sweet Dream?

My God, is this a Wind-Up or a Sweet Dream?

A dose of reality for the rag twats; they’re all Thick As A Brick.

Big congratulations to Mr ten bob, the clocks have gone back, he's still in situ. Next target is visit to Manchester on 15 December. Might just be wanting his P45 after that .....

Revenge for the Cup final defeat is paramount.

I hope we humiliate and annihilate the rag bastards.

Does anyone ever quaff a drink that isn't champagne? I've never heard of anyone quaffing orange juice or water?
