    Man Utd

    If it wasn't difficult enough being a Man Utd fan these days, being sued by them for merely publishing a list of corp clients is yet another stab in the back.

    Having to pretend you have to respect a red-nosed bully, who thinks he's too high and mighty to speak to the BBC, following an entirely accurate portrayal of his dodgy son should give some indication of the kind of organisation they support.

    I sincerely hope they see the light soon. Stop buying from companies that shit all over you.

    Just send in Wayne Rooney

    Given him an air rifle and provided he doesn't manage to shoot himself (which way round do you hold these things?) I'm sure he could make the guy "see sense". We know that millionaire footballers can shoot people with none of the nasty legal consequences reserved for ordinary people, so what have they got to loose - unless he misses, of course?

      Erm ... I think you may mean Ashley Cole, not Wayne Rooney!

        I'm not the slightest bit interested in football.

        And even I know that Cole doesn't play for Manchester United.

      Wayne Rooney?

      To do what exactly, shag the supporters Granny or to scream abuse in his face without any risk of punishment? That's more Rooney's style... leave the shooting to Ashley.

    So what MUFC corporate sponsors are saying is..

    ..that they are ashamed to be associated with MUFC. This headline could do more damage than good.

    As for the muppets who attack these companies, don't they realise that lots of companies have boxes at multiple clubs. That company where they just put the windows in probably has a box at their club too - how does the company know which box is causing the grief? They don't so they pull all support and the muppet's' clubs lose money too - MUPPETS!

    Hell, it's Friday, so I shall say it again - MUPPETS

    If you take security very seriously

    You stop it getting nicked in the first place you twunts. Not Streisanding (Yes I am inventing a new verb; Don't worry, I am British and therefore have the right) the material after the fact.

    the red news site appears to be taken off line not just the list of corp. clients but the entire site.
