Football: 'Tears, hugs and two icy handshakes' | News | Guardian Unlimited Football
How not to run a football club part ?. Seriously though if any more of this kind of stuff gets out into the wider world, filthy rich or not, Abramovitch is going to struggle to attract any more big names to the club.

I know all the football journalists sit in the south stand, and so are nearer the away fans than most of the rest of us that watch United, but some of the reporting was just wishful thinking, when they wrote that the Chelsea fans were singing Mourinho name throughout the game. From where i am in the north stand you can hear the away fans, and i heard more chants about Mourinho coming from United's support than the rent boys support. It must be hard to be a Chelsea fan at the moment, because if they sing too much for the special one, the filthy rich one might say sod that lot of ungrateful bastards and get rid of his toy, leaving them well and truly in the shite.

Louis Saha, the truth is out there somewhere

Let's hope we do see more of him, because we are a miles better team with him in it, than when his is sat in the stands or on the bench.

The prisoner !

Craig Murray v Usmanov
I enjoy reading Craig Murrays blog, it's brilliant for giving you a little glimpse of what is really going on the world of foreign affairs. It is coming to something when a foreign bully, thug, threatens freedom of speech in our country, Russia, Uzbekistan yes regrettably understandable, but here it should be unthinkable. But that's what happening at the moment.

 His book Murder in Samarkand is an excellent read
