Did Fat Frank's diary have an in-depth description of that night in Cyprus where he had a little too much fun with his buddies Kieron Dyer and monsieur Rio Ferdinand? I believe a beer bottle was involved as well...

Didn't he cheat on his wife whilst in Vegas during pre-season? I'm sure I read in one of the noble broadsheets (oh alright, one of the filthy tabloids) about his "tearful confession". It never fails to amaze me how a strong dislike for Frank Lampard can bring rich and poor, black and white, insurgents and soldiers together as one. Its sorta beautiful.

I admire Ashley Cole for not crashing his car when his agent phoned him to say that Arsenal were offering him 55k a week. Surely they were taking the piss!?!

He is special. He has the ability to bring England together as one.

...against him

I felt sick in the stomach back when they were suggesting him as a Barcelona player...

I felt sick when they suggested he was Gerrard's equal :x

So, has anyone contemplated how much more crap Chelski will be once Drogba leaves during the summer.

Who would want to waste their effort thinking about Chelsea?

Well, if it involves them becoming crap, I actually quite enjoy it.

This is great:

21 reasons to love Sir Alex Ferguson

1. Banging on about how his "greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their f***ing perch", which wasn't much of a challenge when you consider George Graham and Arsenal had already done it.

2. Claiming Juan Sebastian Veron, who once played an amazing defence-splitting pass at home against Everton when United were 3-0 up, was a "f***ing great player".

3. Completely destabilising, then breaking up altogether United's best-ever midfield - Giggs, Scholes, Keane, Beckham - with the aforementioned "f***ing great player".

4. Stopping just short of making jokes about tanks with reverse gears when suggesting that "when an Italian tells me it's pasta on the plate I check under the sauce to make sure". What next? Blacking up for laughs?

5. Not liking Arsene Wenger because the Arsenal manager seemingly prefers to go straight home after work, rather than sitting in Fergie's poky office watching the United manager suck down bottle after bottle of Special Grape Drink.

6. Not talking to the state broadcaster on principle, but being quite happy to use television money to prise players away from other clubs.

7. Banging on about how great Manchester United fans are, but not communicating with them via the state broadcaster.

8. Banging on about how great Manchester United fans are - "It is a great thing about football, what the supporters can do" - then suggesting fans and founders of FC United of Manchester are "a bit sad" and "a mob".

9. Banging on about socialism and picking up a CBE.

10. Banging on about socialism and accepting a knighthood.

11. Banging on about socialism and driving around in his sponsored Audi like a corporate shill.

12. Telling the Audi Channel how good Audis are while driving around in his sponsored Audi like a corporate shill.

13. Getting off with speeding up the hard shoulder of a motorway because he was manager of Manch ... hold on ... because he had some rusty water on the boil.

14. Denouncing celebrity culture yet hiring celebrity motoring lawyer Nick 'Mr Loophole' Freeman to present the aforementioned rusty water defence.

15. Displaying genuine blustering outrage when accusing Liverpool of tapping up Gabriel Heinze, yet not being averse to a spot of contract chicanery himself: two words here, and one of them is Jaap.

16. Whining on about timekeeping whenever United concede a late goal (ie any goal scored after the 65-minute mark).

17. After years of losing with a stunning lack of grace and dignity, perfecting the art of drawing with a stunning lack of grace and dignity, such as last weekend's only-audible-to-dogs irrational whine about referees, fans and security staff.

18. Having a big purple head that resembles a roasted aubergine.

19. Accusing Uefa of fixing the Big Cup draw so United always face the likes of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and AC Milan, when in reality they're always grouped with Lille, Pope's O'Rangers and Basingstoke Town.

20. Working in an era where his side are practically guaranteed qualification for Big Cup every single year, without having to win the league first, yet only reaching one Big Cup final. A record which, for the purposes of ranking Sir Alex in the overall scheme of things, should be juxtaposed with those of commoners like Bob Paisley and Brian Clough.

21. Kicking a boot in David Beckham's face. Actually, Fergie's great, isn't he?

His son being a crooked agent is one thing but that one of the transfers under so much scrutiny involved getting rid of Massimo Taibi makes it even better. Crooked son + comedy keeper = no Ferguson on Match of the Day for three years. God bless capitali...er, I mean socialism.

Hahaha nice list Herve where'd you find it?

^Thanks Herve

And Fred, you'll be glad to hear that Rafa has given the A-OK for Villa to sign Carson permanently. I suspect he won't come cheap though.

£10 million, right? May seem high to some but Randy has deep pockets and we haven't had a good keeper since the heyday of Bosnich.

I suspect it will be in the £8-10m region but with the right guidance and a couple more seasons of experience, I think Scotty can become one of the top keepers in the game. He certainly has potential

who's plannin' to buy iker casillas,and how much is the said record fee?

:shock:

As much as I hate panucci, well done

AC suckiness has gotten to the point that I've started to feel bad for them..actually.. NOT.

Why do the footballing Gods hate me? Belgium lost. Scotland lost. Russia lost. Three games I would have loved see go the other way.
