Football

Just read in the German media, that Man City were trying to buy up land for their new mega training centre, including land belonging to a Utd fan.

He refused £1M, and when they went to the council, he split the land into 5000 parts, sold each for £250 (I assume to other united fans), so not only has he made even more money, but now they have to negotiate with 5000 owners.

No idea how true it is (the German media isn't always the most reliable), but if so that's very funny.

@andyp: I have Dickie Davis on speed-dial.

Isn't he dead?

Nearly.

I'm only watching it if there's teletext.

Anyone got Elton Welsby's agent's number? I need a big name before I pitch this to Sky.

Alan Partridge was described as "the thinking man's Elton Welsby".

@Damo: Videprinter.

Fulham results in the 80s were only allowed on after the watershed..

Was that before or after The Water Margin?

It is a great idea Andy.

you are aware of LiverpoolFC tv right?

Or the History channel as we call it round here.

I never go to the official Liverpool site as it is so biased. It only ever focuses on the positive and puts a spin on everything. They act as though we are still winning the league year in year out >>>>>>>>>>
I prefer a more realistic approach to journalism

Like The Sun?

Yeah or The Mail.

Stinger...

Can we draw a line in the sand and say "no more talk about Liverpool and their glorious past"? And also "no more talk about Liverpool". I've been here two weeks and it's all you've fucking talked about.

Welcome to the football thread.

Where is our illustrious leader these days?
