Someone just remind me again ... what did Manchester United win this year? 
The Milton Keynes mob are on 5Live at the moment screaming about City ruining football with the news that they have signed the young German international breaking this afternoon. What they conveniently choose to forget is Trafford Utd have paid £30mil for a central defender nearly 8 years ago and have paid out the same amount for a non striker since that date. Choosing to forget this when you've gone skint is akin the actions of a cry baby bastherd and is something new football watchers will simply have to get thier head around cause i'm afraid lickle City do not shine shoes n'more and if the German defender rattles cages then there's a lot further bad news to arrive very shortly.
The scenario is intresting for clubs wishing to do business with City, apparently they don't share this 'ruining football' line of thinking from the armchair supporting department, for they know well that any figures agreed upon will be all monies, nothing deferred, up front paid out (unique to City)...which very obviously gives them great leverage in a league working on a deferred payments policy and allows them to instantly purchase goods to the value of three times the agreed amount. For these clubs City are not ruining football, they are the saviours . All that said i hear most City fans are actually very grateful to Trafford for selling them Tevez for £25mil, makes you wonder if Alex would swop him back for Berbaflop (£31mil).

I had to go to a product roadshow at Old Trafford. Great! I thought I have never been there before. I was quite looking forward to it all.
Well, I arrived and went to ogle the pitch and imagine my disappointment! No wickets, no pitch that suits pace/swing bowling on the first 3 days and thend takes spin after that.
"What? They play football as well? You learn something every day!"
