Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.
Had a couple of good texts today:
What's had 34 MOT's but never turned a wheel?
City's open top bus.

Breaking News: Man City are considering a new sponsorship deal with Viagra... For those times when you wait years for a semi, only to lose it right at the end!
Hahaha. I got sent another:
Man City's game will now have to be shown on the XXX Channel because watching 11 arseholes get pounded for 90 minutes is just to explicit for normal TV. 
Fantastic result last night, we were by far the better team although with Tevez and the pace of Bellamy they were always dangerous on the break. Rooney's ball into Giggs for the first goal was just breathtaking and it was fitting that he got the winner in injury time (by the way, fantastic keeping on that by Given
). It's a shame about the coin/bottle throwing and there's not really any excuse for it but Bellamy invites this kind of stuff on himself with his attitude and I can't say I'm surprised. It's a bit like rotten tomatoes being thrown on stage at actors in the theatre in the old days I suppose, apart from it hurts more!
Good of him to milk it as well, I dont think the natural reaction is to lie down on the floor right infront of the crowd who've just thrown a coin at him is it? Cock. How he went both legs without getting booked is a fucking joke.
Re: Rio. It's crap but he had it coming. One thing that annoys me and I think needs changing is the system. In everyday criminal law, you are charged with something, then taken to court and you have a chance to have your say, justify/deny what you did and explain your actions. Only after hearing this, is it the length of your sentence decided (if any, you could be found not guilty).
In football however, it's a bit differnet. Having seen replays the FA decides what Rio did was violent conduct. So they charge him with it. Fair enough. So then Rio has a choice of accepting the charge with automatic 3 match ban, OR
if he dares, denying the charge which 9/10 results in an extended ban. How exactly is this fair?
The Michael Turner incident was worse than this. He got sent off for elbowing, which from looking at the replays appeared accidental. He appeals and his 3 match ban for violent conduct is extended for the 'frivolous' appeal.
It's fucked up.
