Without spoiling it too much.

Fergie for the way he treated Sharpe, just little things like balling him out in front of others after he has scored the winning goal just because he did a dance to celebrate.

Robbo a legend for the fact Sharpe cant say enough good about him. Plus anyone who can drink for 48 hours straight and still be the best in both training and the match is just fb.

Keano will ring his neck for being described as an alcoholic who would start fights with people who had done nothing just because he didnt like the look of them.

Keano wanted a watch so Sharpe took him to a jewellers, the jeweller produced 3 watches one that was £1100, £1800 and one that was £2000. The jeweller recommended the £1100 one, Keane said okay, the guy brought the bill out, the watch was in fact £11,000, Keano got the pish took out of him for days icon_biggrin.gif

Basically Keano was too proud to say to the jeweller 'no, that's too much' so bought it anyway, and begged Sharpey not to tell the other lads. Which of course, Sharpey did. The watch got nicked or broken pretty quickly as well iirc icon_biggrin.gif

Reet, I've been looking at accomodation for a while and we're looking at about no more than £50 for 2 nights but that all depends where you want to stay or if you are a cheapskate like me.

Train from Manchester-London is £20 return

Eurostar from London-Paris is £69 return

So all in all you're looking at about £150 for accomadation and travel.

Myself, Coldberg, Bagpuss, James07?, NickOGS20 have all said we are interested, anyone else? I know its nearly 3 months away but better to be organised, add me to MSN if you aren't on already.

BTW, going from Monday-Thursday not Tues-Thurs

Game's in Lille, though, yeah ?

saw them on ri- has to be said, those banners are abysmal but if the people who f*cked off to fc are taking their banners then whats the alternative?

the city ticker and ole banner should NEVER have been removed tbh.

i quite like what someone on there suggested as a banner:

-TO THE GLAZERS: FOREVER IN YOUR DEBT

or something along those lines. sly dig, but not heavy enough that they wouldnt allow it

"Meanwhile, the owners of the previous banners have decided to re-display four of them at Old Trafford, and they too will take their place for the derby after a well-earned date with a washing machine."

I assume if thats true Ole City will be back along with (my guess) Republic banner and Flowers of Manchester

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">JOBS GO AT UNITED

Manchester United are axing 25 jobs as a result of a major internal structural review.

The redundancies - which represent 5% of United's entire workforce - will come exclusively from administrative departments, including IT, finance and general secretarial levels.

"We have carried out a review of costs and a review of structure and we believe the new arrangement is more efficient and is a better way of meeting the company's needs going forward," said club spokesman Phil Townsend.

Although new owner Malcolm Glazer played no part in the review, or the decision, which was confirmed to staff by Red Devils chief executive David Gill on Tuesday, it is bound to be interpreted as the first sign of the American's drive for increased profits following his £790million takeover.

Gill launched the review earlier this year in an effort to bridge the £8million funding gap caused by the loss of revenue from the most recent FA Premier League TV deal, which came into force at the start of last season.

The conversion of United from PLC status back to the private ownership of the Glazer family has effectively ended the need for some positions, while Gill believes the other losses can be covered.

At this stage, the club hope all job losses will be conducted on a voluntary basis. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

It may not be on the Glazers orders, but it's probably a direct result of the debt they've landed us with.

Still, if there is genuine inefficiency there, and they can still do the job with less people, then we can't really complain about it.
