In this wholly representative sample of first 2 or 3 games (for some), as it stands the table shows the North London duo are1st & 2nd, four London clubs in top 5, five in top 8, six in top ten.
 
I think Ferguson tracked what his players were doing in their social lives.
I think that because he ****ing told them:

https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/man-utd-alex-ferguson-spies-26008606

None of those "spies" ever saw Giggs doing anything wrong? Yeah, alright...
There's that well-trodden story of Bacon Face storming out of a formal dinner because he got wind of Giggs attending a party shortly after he broke into the first team, then showing up on the doorstep and not just ordering Giggs out, but shutting the party down while also giving everyone a clip around the ear on their way out

Or "assault" as it's known these days...

Poch’s name is doing the rounds on Twitter, seemingly because Villa fans are already panicking with Gerrard, lol.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we see Poch back in the Prem before the season’s done though. Villa, Leicester and Everton would all likely jump for him if things don’t improve.

The rate it's going, if Everton get any of our ex-managers it'd likely be Sherwood...

I’d actually have Sherwood back working with our youths again if he were ever interested. Can’t hack the top level management stuff but he done well working with and bringing through young players.
 
Final one. It ain’t overly great but you get a few smiles out of it from our perspective.

The IMDB episode ratings show that the final episode is the best in the series. -8.9/10
I can confirm that it’s definitely the best. In fact, the second half of the episode is probably the best finale of any tv series ever <laugh>
 
Brazillian players who are the wrong side of 30 have a certain reputation regarding fitness. Once he's played in the World Cup and is 31, will he want to flog himself around the pitch in the PL, rescuing some of United's less committed players?

United are paying top money for him and to him. I have my doubts as to whether he'll prove to be worth it, no matter what has gone before.
Pushing problems down the road. May well be a good option for this season, and therefore worth the cost. But in a couple of seasons you might have an older player that no longer justifies their place that you still have to fork out hundreds of thousands per week that you can't play and can't sell.
