Mr. Glazer is buying more and more shares in Manchester United plunging them into greater and greater debts, now estimated at over £500million! As I said earlier it couldn’t happen to a nicer club.

It comes to no surprise that every football fan who doesn’t support those dirty reds is loving it and there are loads of funnies doing the rounds on the internet. I’ve compiled a collection of some of the best ones, including some I’ve made here. Feel free to post links to that page on scum message boards, let’s remind them of the debt, you know they would do the same to us! :o)

Apologies in advance for this blog entry it’s shit… literally

This morning I woke up to find that some bird has emptied the contents of its bowels all over one of my sloping bedroom windows, there is loads of the stuff! It’s like an Ostrich had been on the roof!


Cock-A-Doodle-Poo

It’s totally disgusting and the problem with sloping Velux windows is that they are very hard to wash. I’m just going to have to wait for a shower to come down and wash it all away. Until then I’m condemned to stare at white bird shit complete with the contents of its last meal whenever I look out the window.

Another thing about bird shit is why is it nearly always white with black bits in it? Unless you have some strange medical reason you wouldn’t expect to white shit in the bottom of the toilet bowl after taking a dump.

You also don’t see dogs spraying sticky white shit up against walls… you see them laying their filthy eggs in street corners and old ladies picking it up in plastic bags, probably to take home for tea to ‘Boil in the bag’.


‘Boil in a Bag’. The favoured meal of old ladies who own dogs

So, why is it just birds with the strange coloured poo?

I came home from work this evening to learn the hilarious news that American business tycoon Malcolm Glazer now owns a massive stake in Manchester United. He only needs a few more percentage of shares to take full control of the whole club and at the moment it looks like he will achieve this.


“Shall we sell, shall we sell, shall we sell a share to you?”

Man Utd fans strongly oppose a takeover my Malcolm Glazer as he will be borrow hundred of millions of pounds to make the purchase, therefore instantly plunging the club into immense debt. The debt will be so great it will make Leeds United’s previous financial woes look like a small credit card bill.

The other concern of supporters is that Glazer (like most Man Utd fans) has never been to watch a game live and lives miles away from Manchester. They have also questioned his motives and how he will recover the debts – most definitely though charging the fans more money for tickets, merchandise and shirts.

A far greater fear for the fans is that the debt will never will be recovered and the club will be plunged into financial meltdown.


What a shame…

I know I have mocked other clubs in the past for losing games and their off the field problems but I would not wish what Leeds United had to go through upon anybody… except Manchester United.

Every Scum fan I know has mocked Leeds, even the official Man Utd website displayed an image of a wiltering white rose when Leeds were relegated. This time it certainly proves “what goes around comes around”.

Those Sky+ boxes really are so badly manufactured! I had my original box replaced last November and this weekend the replacement had it. It is well outside the warranty period, 6 months in fact and I knew all to well that I may have to pay a fee for a Sky engineer to replace it.

The thing I resent about this is that I know of many people whose boxes have failed, this is a known problem. I am sure if I were to get a replacement that would eventually fail and subsequently the box after that would do the same. Obviously there is some manufacturing issue somewhere.

Another issue is during the warranty period on no occasion was I offered the chance to purchase an extended guarantee, even though I requested information on one!

Anyway, to cut a long story short this evening I rung Sky. I was told by the operator that indeed I would have to call an engineer out at a cost of £65. I was not happy and asked to speak to his supervisor. She didn’t offer much joy either so I said that I would like to cancel my subscription.

I was transferred again to the Cancellations Department who practically begged me to stay with Sky and asked if there was anything they could do to make me happy. They more or less offered to kiss my arse and lick my shoes clean. They agreed to send an engineer out free of charge. I’m happy, they’re happy, everybody’s happy.

Just goes to show he who moans longest and shouts loudest wins!


This cardboard box is more use than my broken Sky+ box

Last night on Sky I watched the Man United – Chelsea game. Chelsea won the game 3-1 and really demonstrated that they are the top dogs of football (although Arsenal who beat Everton 7-0 this evening may well disagree!).

The thing I noticed was that when the game ended Old Trafford almost completely emptied of ManU fans. This was the last home game of the season for Manchester United!

Every team in every club across the country performs a ‘lap of honour’ for the fans at their final home game and the fans applaud their players for their work across the last 9 months.


Alex Ferguson dropped one of these last night after the game.
It was heard throughout Old Trafford

All those ManU fans who left are just so ungrateful and fickle. There must have been 30,000 Leeds fans who stayed at Elland Road on Sunday and they had to endure a really torrid season. This really shows who the real fans are!

I’m having to be on my guard at the moment. I have heard reports from many people that there are many large spiders about this month and inside houses. One person said they lifted up an item of clothing to find two of the buggers on his hand. Had that happened to me I would have died!

Whoever made up the saying “Spiders are more scared of you than you are of them” is a liar. If that were the case every time a spider saw me it would run away leaving a trail of spider poo behind it!


The only spider picture I could find that didn’t scare me

Lastly, I’m going on holiday in August! The plan is for me and a friend to go up near Birmingham, rent a barge or a week and travel up the canals along ‘The Black Country Ring’.


The boat I get will be bigger, in water and not have a giant dog hanging out the window

Sounds a very enjoyable experience, I’ve never done this before but my friend has so hopefully the boat won’t end up crashing into any icebergs and going the way of The Titanic. I’ll have to get myself a captains cap to wear and practice my sea talk “Take her to Wolverhampton Mr. Murdoch, lets stretch her legs”.

I went up again to Leeds for the weekend, was a busy two days and am quite tired now.

Leeds played Rotherham on the last game of the 2004/5 Season. The game was slow and Leeds frustrated all their fans by hitting the post more times then I can remember.

Seeing as there was nothing to play for and the opposition was certainly nothing to write home about the atmosphere and attendance was superb. Chants in honour of Leeds United and legend Lucus Radebe rung throughout Elland Road

“Radebe, Radebe, Radebe, Radebe, Radebe, Radebe, Radebe, Radebeeeeeee … LU-CUS!!!!”

Great weekend, will miss Leeds over the next few months until August when they return. Next season super striker Rob Hulse will be in the squad. He has been on loan for the last three months but was bought by Leeds today. It certainly makes a change from selling players!

I’m sure there’s a lot more I can cover today but I am knackered this evening.

I’ll have a think tomorrow and aim to blog then. In the meantime have a look at these pictures taken from the journey up to Leeds and from the game itself. Sorry about the poor quality on some (taken with my mobile phone) and the lack of thumbnails on pages, again too tired to be sorting that!
