24 - FC United / Benitez makes stupid comparison / Alderley Edgers whingeing
Today's entry is radio ga-ga. Stay tuned....
Now, let's try again, shall we? What is the Google Toolbar, ladies and gentlemen? Altogether now - CUNT!
I must admit that when the idea of FC United was concieved, I saw it as nothing more than a knee-jerk reaction to the Glazer takeover that people would get bored with after a few matches, and that I would much rather see people's energies poured into saving Manchester United. I've changed my mind now for reasons that this article on FC United covers.
Not only is it an excellent article about the club but it's a real insight to the passion and drive that is beyond so very many small football clubs, that don't turn over a huge profit or ever come close to winning anything. Run off the back of simply a love for the game. Plus, when a club becomes as big as United, I think it's healthy that there is an alternative for people.
I'd personally love to see an FC United game one day although I hear it's almost as difficult to get into one of their matches these days due to popularity as it is to get into the Old Trafford based lot's.

Rafael Benitez is the new Jose Mourinho, but unfortunately (or thankfully, depending on what trait you're looking at) for him the 'talking complete bollocks' factor is the only thing they have in common. Yes, we might be on the same level if we resume playing a stupid, nonsensical formation and playing players out of position. But if not, then it's not even close.
This would be my combined XI for the two teams:-
Van Der Sar; Neville, Carragher, Ferdinand, Heinze; Ronaldo, Gerrard, Keane, Giggs; Rooney, Van Nistelrooy
And I don't think you'd find many Liverpool fans who would seriously argue this point. Indeed, there might even be a question mark over Carragher's place, but he just sneaks past Mickael Silvestre. If I were a Liverpool fan, I'd have been horrified by the summer signings and their D-list in nature. Bolo Zenden. Fucking hell. I'd much prefer to have no signings than him.

Football players annoy some people in Cheshire SHOCK! Let me tell you about people from north Cheshire - they're always complaining about something. If it isn't people from Stockport complaining about having a unique postcode or people from Hale complaining about people saying they're from Altrincham, it's residents of Alderley Edge complaining about football players moving into the area.
These people are complete idiots. These people like to whinge on about United players moving into the area and spoiling the beauty of the town, seemingly completely ignorant of the FUCKING GREAT BIG SATELLITE DISH that sits nearby at Jodrell Bank. Just you watch though - if Wayne and Coleen put up a Sky Digital dish, I'll be able to hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth from down here in Surrey. Cretins.
I'm off to contemplate an attempt at passing Jodrell Bank into popular culture as rhyming slang for 'wank'. Back tomorrow, ta.
