Cut n paste sorry for the formattingThe Official MUFC Maths Workbook, which covers sums for practising Key Stage Two maths for 7-11 year olds. This has been introduced as part of the Government's maths campaign. 1. Roy is 78 yards away from the referee at Old Trafford and David is 65 yards away. If Roy can run at 21mph and David can run at 16mph, who willbe sticking their vein-bulging forehead into the hapless whistler's face first, assuming Roy does not stop to stamp on an opponent on his way? 2. If one minute of time is taken up in a game for substitutions and one minute for injuries, how much injury time will be added on by the referee if Man Utd are losing at home? 3. Ryan is a Welshman. Express, as a percentage, the number of internationals he has missed on a Wednesday evening compared to the miraculous recoveries he made for the following Saturday. 4. Manchester United are one of the giants of world club football. How many more European Cup Finals have they appeared in than Steaua Bucharest? (For one extra mark; How many more than Reims?) 5. Phil has 30 international caps. If you take away the number of appearances when he was the only adult male in England who could just about kick the ball with his left foot, how many are left? 6. You are the referee at Old Trafford. How near to a visiting defender does a tumbling United forward have to be to earn a penalty if he goes down in the box? (Note; Round your answers down to the nearest 20 metres.) 7. Mark "The Red" lives in Guildford. How much does it cost for him and his two sons to travel to the Theatre of Silence every other weekend, including limited edition matchday programme, a few drinks and prawn sandwiches all round? How much could he save per week if he watched his local team instead? (Note; round your answers down to the nearest thousand pounds). 8. Alex had a hotel room booked in Glasgow for the Champions League Final. How much money will he lose when cancelling his reservation?

Its not that i personally have anything againt man u but:
Q: What has Old Trafford on a Saturday afternoon at 4.45pm got in common with Wormwood Scrubs? A: They are both full of cockneys trying to get out.
Q: How many Manchester Utd. fans does it take to change a light bulb? A: Three. One to change the bulb, one to buy the "1999 light bulb changing" commemorative T-shirt and video, and one to drive the other two back to Torquay.
A Man Utd fan dies on match day and goes to heaven in his Man Utd shirt. He knocks on the pearly gates and out walks St Peter with a Leeds scarf. "Hello mate" says St Peter, "I'm sorry, no Man Utd fans in heaven". "WHAT?" exclaims the man, astonished. "You heard, no Man Utd fans." "But, but, but, I've been a good man", replies the Man Utd supporter. "Oh really", says St Peter "What have you done, then?" "Well" said the guy, "Three weeks before I died, I gave 10 pounds to the starving children in Africa". "Oh" says St Peter "anything else?" "Well, 2 weeks before I died I also gave 10 pounds to the homeless" "Hmmm. Anything else?" "Yeah. A week before I died I gave 10 pounds to the Albanian orphans." "Okay", said St. Peter, "You wait here a minute while I have a word with the Boss." Ten minutes pass before St. Peter returns. He looks the bloke in the eye and says, "I've had a word with God and he agrees with me. Here's your thirty quid back, now f*ck off"
Q: What do you have when 100 Manchester United Fans are buried up to their neck in sand? A: Not enough sand.
Q: What's the difference between a dead dog in the road and a dead Manchester United Fan in the road? A: There are skid marks in front of the dog.
Q: What is the difference between a Manchester United Fan and a trampoline? A: You take off your shoes to jump on a trampoline!
A Scouse van driver used to amuse himself by running over every Manchester United fan he would see strutting down the side of the road in their ubiquitous red colours. He would swerve to hit them and there would be a loud "THUMP" and then he would swerve back on the road. One day, as the driver was driving along, he saw a priest hitchhiking. He thought he would do a good turn and pulled the van over. He asked the Priest "where are you going, Father?" "I'm going to say mass at St. Joseph's church, about 2 miles down the road" replied the priest. "No problem Father! I'll give you a lift,climb in!" The happy priest climbed into the passenger seat and the van continued down the road. Suddenly the driver saw a Manchester United fan walking down the road and instinctively swerved to hit him. But, just in time, he remembered the bloody priest, so at the last minute he swerved back to the road, narrowly missing the ba*tard. However even though he was certain he missed the glory-hunting sh*te, he still heard a loud "THUD". Not understanding where the noise came from, he glanced in his mirrors and when he didn't see anything he turned to the priest and said "I'm sorry Father, I almost hit that Manchester United fan" "That's okay" replied the priest. "I got the f*cker with the door!"
