    90k sounds a lot considering the FA appears to have said the club did not act dishonestly. I've no idea what it's about except that footballers' agents seem to have joined bankers, estate agents and politicians as leading contenders for a modern version of Dante's Inferno :evil::evil::evil:

    "...In all three cases the suspended part of their respective bans will be enforced unless there is a further breach of the FA's agent regulations or Fifa's regulations on working with intermediaries..." (my italics)

    Huh?

    What a nasty, distasteful way of gaining publicity.


    Especially as she was more or less fully clothed......:emoticon-0120-doh:

    I bet Welbeck didn't get a better pass than that when playing for Man U.

    Seemed to enjoy scoring the winner as well.

    Big pressure on Van Gaal now for a top 4 finish.

    I've just seen this on BBC website. The look of astonishment on Rooney's face when Michael Oliver gives Januzaj a yellow card and Not a penalty. For far too long they have been gifted decisions at Old Trafford!

    Yes Michael Oliver was 100% correct in his decision.

    Oh I agree OFH, it's just that Man Ure had Howard Webb for so long, they can't believe they are not getting any more favours!

    I wouldn't normally wish ill of anyone, but I will make an exception for this odious little man. And can we have Diego Fabbrini back?

    I thought the ref had a fantastic game last night. Many decisions, most right - especially the red card.

    If a player had grabbed my shirt from behind as in that incident it would be a straight red from me, not a second yellow. Surprised Fellaini stayed on the pitch and I think Bellerin was subbed in the nick of time! Bellerin did well considering his very early caution. A cracking match and, to be fair, Oliver played his part too. Not perfect, but got most of it right.
