On the Eve of the new Season...

maybe theyre making the joke that all of man u's fans live outside of the city

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.

[godsshoeshine]

oba moving would be a good sign, to be honest

i've decided to not talk about mike owen anymore

[godsshoeshine]

[vansmack]

I laughed too when I saw that on The Guardian, but I was trying to be nice to godsshoeshine in these trying times.....
