Sir Alex has a long-held reputation for suffering no fools and making his voice heard. However, this time his tongue has gotten him into serious trouble, invoking a lifetime “no-touch-line” ban for all gentlemen clubs forming part of the Foxy-entertainment Association (FA). Why, you may ask? The following may shock you.

Following a fine season for both club and country, timid boyish French national goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has caught the attention of some of the world’s top clubs, and Scottish indiepop band Belle & Sebastian. Whether making heart-stopping saves, squinting wistfully up the field at the other, more popular players or clutching the ball to him like Aloysius, Lloris is a man in demand.

The Capello reign of England has been characterised by one theme: discipline. From intense training sessions to WAG and cell phone bans, the Italian has instilled a meritocratic selection regime fueled by the foot soldier’s mentality. Which makes the recent untrue rumour of his prank on Michael Owen all the more shocking.
Owen has been Capello’s bogeyman, his mercurial form for Manchester United eliciting calls for selection and rejection, sometimes in the same day. Yet a telephone call by the Italian a few months ago set in chain a prank crueller than the injury inducing fate of the striker’s blotted career.

Following a successful recent loan spell, Gianfranco Zola is looking to make Snow a permanent signing. “Snow’s contribution to the Wolves game was the best striking performance of our season” said the increasingly haunted spectre of a once hirsute Shire horse.
Harry Redknapp has signed some gritted dripping Slush, and despite its lack of consistency and rapidly depreciating ability, awarded it a contract of £80,000 a week.

The Owen signing threw Red Devils fans for a loop this summer, and the obvious question surfaced: why? Why on God’s green Earth did Sir Alex sign him? Was this the shrewdest of business deals? Is Owen intended to be this season’s Henrik Larsson? Or did Sir Alex merely wish to rub salt in the Scousers’ wounds? To uncover Sir Alex’s motivation, we must look no further than United’s forgotten midfield fulcrum: Owen Hargreaves.

Sir Alex Ferguson today insisted that Manchester United were not facing any financial hardship, whilst inexplicably wearing a barrel. Speaking at the launch of Manchester United’s 2009-10 away kit – “Skins” – the manager sought to calm Manchester United supporters worried about a lack of transfer activity so far during the off season.
“There are some amazing numbers being talked about, not all of them realistic”, the rubicund Scotsman gurgled. ” Sure we could go about, spending our money, chasing the fleeting promise of glory like a grubby ten pound note in the wind. Just out of reach, DAMMIT. But that would be irresponsible.
Are you….are you going to finish that soup?”
