what the papers say

I think I spotted this in a local paper........

Manchester United fans, Mr & Mrs Hunter of Basildon in Essex wish to announce the birth of their new baby boy, Glory.

Villa so Boring

As one of the many Manchester United fans living in the midlands, I feel I must comment on the recent Old Trafford game with Villa.

Contrary to Leon Hickman's "Mean Villa deny United" (Mail, January 15, 1996), it should have read "Frightened Villa bore United and their fans to death".

Whenever Manchester United come down here it's a super game almost without exception and if Villa win like on opening day this year the plaudits are there in abundance.

Saturday's Villa performance was disgraceful. People wonder why there are so many Brummie Reds but is it any wonder when your premier team serve up rubbish like that.
