Also seems to have forgotten about the Gallas challenge on Davies the other month, quite conviently.

While all other football managers point out any previous misdemeanors by their players when commenting on something that happens to one of theirs?

A couple of questions for United fans:

Why use blue and yellow balloons for your 'green and gold' campaign?

Do you not think the "green and gold" campaign is rather lame? After all, wearing a Norwich scarf (while underneath your jackets you are sporting a red replica shirt) and then handing £40 to the Smurfs is not a 'protest' with any substance, is it?

Out of interest, what happens to the money raised by those selling the yellow and green merchandise? Were those involved in starting the campaign, also selling the merchandise?

If I worked at Man Utd I'd just ask Nike to design a yellow and green away kit again for next season.

I've not seen the tackle/challene; was it worse than Gallas' the other week against Bolton (I think)?

Quite similar in that it was the unfortunate consequence of one player just beating another in a 50/50 situation.

Of course Owen Coyle wasn't castigated by anyone for calling that tackle an "assault".

Think the idea is that it was a start (or re-start after 5 years of nothing)
MUST ([urlhttp://www.joinmust.org/][/url]) have been saying they are selling the scarves at cost however I don't think that can be said for other vendors of G&G scarves around Old Trafford

Hopefully those that have bought them will further their protests by not giving any more money to the gnomes

there was a snide doing the rounds a couple of weeks ago that was supposedly the green and gold away kit for next year.

Then again, justice wasn't served for Coyle, Gallas only got a yellow and I'm pretty sure Arsenal scored from the resulting tackle. If Gallas got the deserved red and Arsenal didn't score as a result of the tackle, Coyle's words may well have been different.

good to see the 'one trick pony' pick up MOM in the cup final yesterday, terrible purchase as mentioned.

If you buy the scarfs directly from MUST you get them at cost price £3.50 iirc The street vendors are making a killing though at £7 a chuck
