“Gracious Ferguson” was the popular verdict on Saturday after Sir Alex conceded that United were “beaten by the better team” at Upton Park. But did anyone detect shades of the famous 1992 tantrum when Fergie famously described the effort the Hammers put into beating United as “obscene”? “Most teams are motivated against us anyway… ” “I suppose it was their biggest game of the season.” Surely it’s not squeaky bum time already?  Read More →

Handsome new addition to Merse’s fledgling lingo: “Pizarro’s tried to be greedy and he’s done the Sunday roast.

After leaving in seven at Goodison, the Black Cats record signing suffered the ultimate sanction at Keano’s hands: “Craig Gordon has been fingered and dropped.” Harsh but fair. And Jim had his own cruel verdict for Kenwyn Jones and his clumsy brand of profligacy: “Ahh, denied by the upright. Or maybe he denied himself.” Perched as he undoubtedly was in a Montrose broom cupboard, there was a suspicion Jim had the old gramophone going in...  Read More »
