Today, we all witnessed the fall of Manchester United. They didn't just drop a few rungs but came crashing down from a great height and now lie terminally wounded, covered in dust and embarrassed before the entire world.
In twenty years, people all over will remember where they were when an Empire finally came to an end. I was in the kitchen making a cheese and brown sauce sandwich.
Long live Manchester City

Hardly the fall of an empire, don't be silly.

When Rome fell, there were small pockets of resistance. That is to be expected. Even Gadaffi had a couple of die hard supporters with him in that sewerage pipe.
Strangely, I was eating a cheese sandwich when that news broke. But no brown sauce.

I thought J H Baggie just irritated our board with his irritating bile. The bloke's a small club buffoon.

Very dangerous to write United off ever. Its been Blackburn, Newcastle, Arsenal , Chelsea and now City and every time United have got stronger and marched on.

15 years ago this week we were twonked 5-1 by Newcastle. There was a geordie on here celebrating the anniversary the other day.
I reminded him that we also went down 6-3 at Southampton the same month.
I also reminded him we won the title that season

Yes, I am known to do the odd bit of wumming. This, though, is a serious article.
I'm sure that when one of Gadaffi's henchmen - who was the class clown, so to speak - said:
"Boss! Boss! There's an American Drone over yonder - our Kingdom is about to topple"
That the Colonel laughed heartily and said:
"Now now Akhbar, I know you are a bit of a wum but that's stretching things too far. Have a cheese sandwich."
We all know what happened next.
