Funny that United fans still wheel out the old "Gerrard stayed at Liverpool because he was threatened" stuff (which Gerrard has denied)
Rio Ferdinand has spoken about his brush with Manchester United's famed negotiating team (http://m.gmgrd.co.uk/res/2.$plit/C_71_article_1346235_image_list_image_list_item_0_image.jpg?22%2F10%2F2010%2008%3A00%3A31%3A731:
), who were also involved in Wayne Rooney's contract negotiations in 2010.
The team, who wore special negotiation hats (http://6ljc2013.bowlingparkprimary.net/files/2012/11/balaclava.jpg ) to the official club meeting outside Rooney's house, are famed for their subtle powers of persuasion (http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Football/Pix/pictures/2010/10/22/1287746259810/Anti-Wayne-Rooney-Grafift-001.jpg ) and it seems Ferdinand and Rooney couldn't help but be charmed by the smooth-talking gentlemen.

I'd love to have a jro day on here but as Jav says, we'd look like prats. Not enough people would know what we were on about.

The one star article campaign was good. Think Milky won it. The idea was to write as bland and boring an article as possible and attract as many one stars as poss. My first round article was a resounding success. I went for the "who do you think will replace Fergie?" classic.

For me the rick roll assault was very funny.
The crisp thing gas stood the test of time however.
