Martin Samuel

Love or loathe the rotund writer you've got to admire his opening line today

"Football, it would seem, is a simple game: 22 players kick a ball around for 90 minutes, after which Manchester United stick it right up Manchester City. "

Manchester City are closing all the time, but it will be a long time before they assemble a group with this resolve. Even in times of trouble, United have unique reserves of character, a mental strength that is unsurpassed in the modern game.

Didn't he write one the day before too about how ciy aer totally classless?

More or less exact same line used in the Guardian by Daniel Taylor

Plagiarised from the old adage about Germans winning on penalties.

The fat bearded @#%&!.

At least Taylor was decent enough to attribute the quote, unlike that fat knownowt plagerist @#%&!

He's often accused of being shamelessly pro United

I think Taylor is actually a Forest fan. He does have a go at us sometimes, but is nowhere near as bad as certain others imvho view.

He's anything but, to be honest.



Wrote a terrific, insightful - and fair- account of Fergie in his book This Is The One.

the most alarming thing re daniel taylor is that the gruniad have got the work experience lad writing for them.

Didn't samuel say last week that it would be good for football if our debts ruined the club?

He's got a point.

It will take the fall of a truly big club (like us or the scousers) before anything is done about club ownership.

He didn't even mean that or at least I didn't get that far. What I read he said that it would be good because it would give other teams a chance at winning the league.
