You may be the best player these islands have ever produced, but when you do your Sky Sports punditry...seethe...
Don't know if anyone else was watching Sky, but George Best was getting right on my wick. Of course he's biased and disinterested in the opposition at the best of times, but today he took the biccy. He kept playing down the game, saying it was pretty poor (just spoke to my old man who said we were better than v. Leeds); referring to 'United' without seeming to register there were two Uniteds on the pitch; and when the equaliser went in he was in mid-report...'they've equalised' he said, deadpan, as if saying he was off for a nap or something.
At least Taggart and Thicko gave us some credit for the result.

Look in future why not refer to the toon as: Newcastle 'THE REAL AND ORIGINAL' United, or something. I'm sure if it caught on the feckin media would stop giving them the name 'United' as copyright.

It pisses me off too, by the way.

I mean when you say the word Newcastle and then follow the word United, you atomatically think of Newton healthers, in red tops, with cockney accents. It's a trick, I tell ya, a trick to give Newton more publicity without even think about it. I mean how many Uniteds are there?

Scunthorpe United(thinking sub-conciously of newton health) Newcastle United(sub-consious sponsor, Newton Heath) Manchester United(sub-consious sponsor Newton Heath, and Bez off Happy mondays) Leeds United(sub-consious sponsor Newton Heath)

No wonder they get a load of 'cant make up our minds cockney supporters' the daft gits think that the 'self proclaimed biggest club' in the world actually sponsor about a dozen football club or something.

The daft prawn munchers sure do feel like they are on some sort of a power quest, just by saying they follow, and have shares in 'United.'

His views have tended to be more jaundiced these days...ahem :-) I think playing for 'United' and his liver packing in has left him insane. Was listening to him on Sky too and cudnt believe the way he was talking.

LR, comps. of the season, etc.

Whilst I was in the Maldives last week I photographed a 'local' wearing a Manure top, whilst feeding a manta ray , I'll send it to your MUFC email address when I find the time. I should / could post in on here but I'm too fik to do so.

As usual the Maldivian didn't know where Manchester was, a good photo nevertheless!
