Good morning and eyes down for a full house.
I quite like the phrase, you couldn’t make it up. But this morning’s Sunday Mirror headline is more proof were it ever needed that in actual fact, you can. According to the Mirror’s Paul Smith discreet enquiries made by the Etihad mob about the boy Bale were greeted with a blunt price tag of £150M.
Let me just say, even running this two bob operation I get people telling me ‘stuff’ on a regular basis. Sometimes it pans out, sometimes it does not. That’s show business. But I do try and at least give each piece of information some degree of analysis. £150m? The Mirror need to make it a sackable offence in 2012 to upload articles from public houses.
Today is incredibly exciting. Of course we play every cad at least twice a season, but never before in living memory has the outcome stood to influence our fight for the title. There, I said it.
What will we get this afternoon? Invisible cards in hues of red and yellow from Bobby Manc? If he pulls this stunt today I sincerely hope he’s told to naff off to the stands for his trouble. It’s not jealously, Bob, you’re just behaving like a tart.
Our lot know what’s required. Or at least I hope to God they do. A terrifying article in the Telegraph where the Welsh wizard reiterates his cunning plan to not play on the wing more and more.
Oh yes. And if TK Maxx sold people, they’d sell Shaun Custis.
BIOYMCC!
Scotty Parker is a warrior. Lets hope he keeps that challenge at the back of his mind. There’s always next season.
I’ve always been on the side of the Brian Clough school of thinking with regards to the match officials, but what happened today (yes, you Mr Webb), the Stoke game and the other ‘offside’ goals scored by Barndoor is really starting to leave a sour taste in my mouth.
I’m not a conspiracy theorist nutjob, but this is starting to get ridiculous.
I’d like to see an alternative league table, with all the big refereeing errors put right, we’d be at the top.
jeff winter used to have one on his page, not sure if its still going
Not sure what I want from this game now. Is there anyway both teams can finish with no points??
Desperately want to see Utd win now. Not because it means Arsenal lose, not because it goes a long way towards securing Champs League football for next year — but because I simply can’t bear the thought of that team in Shite Blue winning the league.
The Arab Mancs are, by some distance, the worst thing to happen to football in this country during my lifetime.
I absolutely agree. I am praying United take the title from them, and I can’t, before this season, have ever imagined that could happen.
webb was waiting to change the game and he did.BALLOCKSTELLI should have been off he was already on a yella. coward webb gives a pen when he leaves his leg tangled up with Legknee. but his sly wink to Milner after the whistle went says it all. A perfect storm for cheats.
Did anybody else notice that Webb was standing 5 feet from Balotelli looking straight at him when the stamping occurred?
I couldn’t agree with you more about him waiting for that. There is no way we get the same penalty called in our behalf in the same situation.
