In 2005, when very powerful people at Manchester United and equally powerful people governing the English and European game said and did fuck all to stop Malcolm Glazer plunging our beloved football club into perilous …

There are United players past and present for whom I have zero or close to zero affection. Some are obvious – I think of Neil Webb skulking off against Forest as the world caved in …

Another day and yet another quote from Mr David (Debt is the Road to Ruin) Gill regarding the Glazers ownership of United, this time he’s been praising how they played so outstandingly on the pitch and helped us to another league title last season, ok, so maybe not those exact words, but near enough.

Hard-hitting, direct action group MUST have responded to the news Wayne Rooney is set to leave Manchester United.

If anyone was wondering whether the green and gold campaign could continue after so many people renewed their season tickets and bought their new AON shirts, then fear not cos those crackpot militants of MUST are reading the riot act once again (ps legal person – that is not a suggestion that anyone should perform any acts of violence). Here’s what they’re telling their 9,000,000 partizan members:

During a trip past Old Trafford this weekend I saw a sticker that said something like: ‘United needs you. Starve the Glazers, don’t renew’.

We’ve not had many cut and paste jobs from the Guardian recently so, let’s restore normal order. It appears that particular paper believes that the Red Knights’ plan to ride in and rescue Manchester United …

Interesting article from The Times today. Interesting because it seems to suggest that some Reds are worried about “militant” United fans resorting to direct action, which would definitely not include the sending of an email …

There has been a fair amount of criticism on here of the Green and Gold campaign. Here’s my take.

Wresting Manchester United FC from the clutches of the Glazers is a tall enough order. Doing so in a way which leaves supporters with a proper say in how their club is run may seem well-nigh impossible. But it surely, surely has to be attempted. It’s not only the best chance since the take-over, it’s the last chance. It has to be tried.

For those nodding in agreement or shaking in disagreement, i should point out that the sleep- deprived Rob Smyth that you hear here in the same podcast said that Chelsea would beat Inter Milan 3-0 …

According to today’s Guardian, Manchester United, a team managed by a man who apparently thinks it is OK for you to wear green and gold so long as that is as far as your protest goes, have put …

For those who took a more critical view of Beckham’s green-and-yellow scarf wearing display, MUST’s triumphant proclamations of what they described as their new hero taking a stand alongside them against the evil Glazers came …

Bones
True to the words of Sean Bones, vice Chair or summat of MUST, speaking on Five-Live last night, Japanese investment bank Nomura are to advise the cringeily-named Red Knights as they bid to seize Manchester …

Controversial Manchester United owners the Glaziers are to boldly ditch the club’s traditional red and white colours for the green and gold currently being sported by the very fans that are opposing them.

I have heard it described as “inspired”, “tokenism”, “genius” and “the latest fashion item which means very little in the grand scheme of things”.
