Actually, Old Trafford is in Trafford and not greater Manchester, so they are taking a poke at the local Man U fans too.  I laughed, Fergie did not.

Obefemi asked to be sold to Wolfsburg. 

And Owen has 4 goals this this offseason already.

Iranian businessman Sirous Mahjoob on Thursday confirmed that he is in the final stages of negotiations to buy English football club Newcastle United.

and yet google had never heard of this guy with a name that looks suspiciously close to "serious manboobs"

i might cry before the season starts



Hmmm, maybe there is one Iranian who likes the British.  I would have thought not.

Tevez had to go to make room on the bench for Mikey Owen….replace one bench warmer for another seems like logic to me. Besides Mikey's goals scored to time played ratio has already put the ugly money grabbing argie to shame, and United will miss him like a dose of the shits . Shitty of Middle Eastlands just have United envy. Unfortunately no amount of cash can replace history, glory and  years and years of success…………just ask chelski. We'll miss Ronaldo for a few games till we find our feet, watch Rooney start knocking em in for fun as long as he's played in the center.


FYI - Guess who is now a certified ref with USSF? Yep? I wanted to find out what it was like on the other end of a redcard for a change!!!
