Haha. 

I read Fever Pitch again last month as I couldn't find my copy of Among the Thugs.

I send a morning email to my brother in law exchanging United rumors (of course this year we spend most of the time figuring out who qualifies as home grown and who's under 21 before January).

I have yet to hide WFD, ManU and others in Facebook as there's no fear of a midday spoiler.

Oh yeah, and it's pea soup fog outside my office.

Sir Alex says Cleverly is not going out on loan.  Sorry about that tease.

Aren't we getting arrogant?  How quickly we forget that staying up should be this year's goal.

And that was the ugliest goal I've seen Chicharito score, but the kid's clearly got a gift.  And the crowd LOVES him.

no, arrogance would be between a cleverly loan and an arfa loan with a buy option taking cleverly with a buy option. hughton has to get value period

martin oneill resigned. my guess is they're selling milner and he doesn't get to spend it all. sound familiar?

Nicky Shorey is out too (West Brom).  That would have angered me as much as Milner.  Right on the doorstep too....

Maybe Ashley Young then?  I just don't think Milner's impending exit is enough (and it's been coming for a while so why now?).

Either way, they were so close to making that leap.  Sad.

Manchester United sign £7.4m Portuguese striker Bebe

Don't know much about him, but if Quieroz likes him, I'm game.  He recommended Ronaldo, you know...

I laughed at this too:
