Uniteds buying power has been based for decades on their support and not the backing of some Russian crook..

that sounds like a bit of jealousy to me .United have been playing the money game long before chavski and all the rest and now they are giving united some opposition they whinge about it .I think that is a little slanderous in regards to our beloved mr abramovich.

Sorry but United's buying power has been based more on exploiting 1956 and bandwagon jumpers who jet, car and bus into Manchester from all over the UK and parts further to grab a bit of reflected glory. That's without forgetting what Roy memorably dismissed as the 'prawn sandwich brigade' (forgetting it was they who paid his inflated salary). Not a Red Devil lover!

Just wondered if one of your clever giys and gals has maybe found a clip of the commercial (YouTube?)? Would love to listen to it.

I remember commenting on this ad when it was first mentioned at BEP - in a cricket thread, IIRC.

I found it offensive then, and I find it offensive now. It's childish and crass; it doesn't even pretend to be satirical. It's just plain bloody rude.

Now these, on the other hand...

No she didn't.

Lara Bingle's biography can be found here. References to emigration (whether to the UK or anywhere else) are notable by absence. According to recent reports, she lives in Tamworth (NSW).

While she has certainly visited the UK (promoting the Aussie tourism campaign which made her a household name; see here) she definitely hasn't emigrated.

Better luck next time, Pom.

I sincerely hope you vent some jealousy, sorry criticism at Liverpool when they get bought out by an Arab crook!

At least get the bloody year right.. Munich air crash was 1958. As for bandwagon jumpers I think Chelski's average attendance 10 years ago was about 13,000 so that's one mighty big bandwagon they must have down at the Bridge.

Mentioning Liverpool and crook in the same sentence could get you accused of stereotyping.

Liverpool are a busted flush... not worth a mention anymore.. their best days are long gone.
