‘I’m going with United and Bursaspor’

Manchester United 1/5 – I won’t dwell here, I’m sure you’re all well aware of them.

Key man: Wayne Rooney – Little point saying anything here, really. Needs to get …

The Mascherano to Barcelona soap opera is starting to get really old now. It’s like another Ken Barlow infidelity story, yeah he’s old and cheating on his wife but who gives a shit?

It’s over a week since I wrote that the monster Masch would be going to Barcelona and the clubs in question are starting to make me look stupid. I can’t …
