So the Toffees got chewed over and thoughtfully played their number 3 and Scottish goalie to help us on our way to a vital three points and break Chelski hearts. Now, apparently, the Premier League will "
probe Howard loan deal"
to find out why United's ex-'keeper didn't play....
I'm sure it's only me, but I swear Jose must have enjoyed watching Columbo as a young boy growing up in Portugal....
It's been a bit like that this season for United fans with Jose always on our tail even if at times appearing to stumble along before catching up with us right at the end.
Now, with Chelsea back to full strength,
United slipping up at home to Middlesbrough and with
half their squad injured it looks like
United's next manager could be on course for
a unique Quadruple after all.
United's
fixtures on the run in to the season end begin to look really tough, now:

UEFA Champions League
Man Utd v AC Milan, 19:45
After the highs of recent weeks' peformances it looks like our form and that of Ronaldo's is dipping. Knowing United, anything can happen, but we look like shipping goals.
Saturday, 28 April 2007
Barclays Premiership
Everton v
Man Utd, 12:45
The Toffees are usually a soft touch and let us have their last three points as we chew them over and spit them out. Added to that is the potential
�1.65M transfer bonus they stand to receive if Waynus helps us to triumph in League, Cup and Europe this season....

UEFA Champions League
AC Milan v
Man Utd, 19:45
A lot will depend, obviously, on the result from the first leg.....
Saturday, 05 May 2007
Barclays Premiership
Man City v
Man Utd, 12:45
A lot will depend, obviously, on what's been happening in the League and Euro....

FGW Alert: Tue 20/6/2006
Full advertised service
Nat Rail: 08457484950
On arrival at the station I'm advised that my train is cancelled due to 'technical difficulties'. WTF does that mean?
How hard is it to send a text message advising your customers (I pay ?157.50 pcm) for this 'service' (the train not the text) of the actual, truthful state of the service?
I could have had an extra half an hour in bed or at home, or I could have taken the bus and tube option. Now I will be crammed on to the next train, which will have no extra capacity to accommodate us. Two trains in one. Wow! That's cost efficient!
Maybe next month I will just neglect to pay for my ticket claiming that I had 'technical difficulties' (I forget? It was too hot? Wrong kind of leaves on my broadband line?) and see what happens....

SocietyGuardian.co.uk | Public manager | Leading questions:
What are the main challenges to employing disabled people? Deep-rooted assumptions that disabled people are unemployable. Yet we have four government ministers who have a disability: David Blunkett, Gordon Brown, Jack Straw and John Prescott.
As usually happens, I found this while looking for something else.
Now, I think we all know what David Blunkett's disability is. Gordon Brown obviously has a chip on his shoulder about not being PM (really, he is
blind in his left eye), which must be quite disabling at times. Jack Straw has some kind of speech impediment, I suppose (oops! wrong again,
Jack Straw suffers from tinnitus).
But John Prescott? What could it possibly be? (
Foot-in-mouth syndrome or
oral dyslexia, for starters...)
