Subject: - Old Trafford by Pat Jennings
I had to take my lad to a kids party on Saturday in Sale and couldn't
resist popping down the road to see what was going off.
The building work has now got into full swing and the forecourt is now
completely encircled with a big RED wooden fence. Two huge meccano type
steel structures are being assembled on the car park on the other side
of the new road that goes round the forecourt.
Despite all the work the place was heaving with fans, it 'almost' looked
like a matchday.
I went in the Megastore to buy the Treble video (cheaper than in the
shops) and when we finally got to the checkout to pay, there was a power
cut and everything went off. We stood around for 10 minutes
(contemplating doing a runner with our wares) and they eventually told
everyone to go to one till back in the main store bit. Each queue was
now about 10 deep and I realised, as they all legged it towards this one
till, that I would be at the back!! However, the nice girl on the till,
must've fancied me or something ;-))) and took all my stuff with her and
did me first (thank you).
The power was still off when we left, I wonder if it was the same
builder who cut the wires before the 'ammers game? Maybe it's some sad
scouser (well some of them must have jobs) whose trying to sabotage the
rebuilding work.....

Subject: Palmeiras players attack opponent - hilarious
Football - Edilson's antics are too much for Brazil - The Corinthians
striker Edilson was dropped from Brazil's Copa America squad yesterday for
juggling with the ball while play was in progress during Sunday's Paulista
Championship final against Palmeiras. His antics incensed the Palmeiras
players so much that three of them attacked him, a pitched battle ensued
and the match was abandoned. Edilson performed his party piece after
scoring the goal which levelled the match 2-2 in the second leg, giving
Corinthians an unassailable 5-2 aggregate lead with 15 minutes left.
Edilson received a pass in midfield, juggled with the ball and rolled it
down his back. The Palmeiras left-back Junior steamed into Edilson, who was
then attacked by striker Paulo Nunes and the team captain Zinho. After
briefly retaliating he fled to the dressing-room. The Brazil coach,
Wanderley Luxemburgo, who had ended 28-year-old Edilson's four-year exile
from the national team, held him responsible for the scenes and dropped him
for the Copa America, which begins in Paraguay later this month. The
Palmeiras coach, Luis Felipe Scolari, known as Big Phil, later became
involved in a row with Edilson during a television discussion.

Subject: United in fixtures farce
By Ivan Ewtale
Tuesday, June 22, 1999
The desperation behind England's bid for the 2006 World Cup reached almost
farcical levels last night with the revelation that Manchester United will be able
to dictate their own fixture list next season.
United's participation in the inaugural World Club Championship is seen by the
Government as crucial to their hopes of receiving FIFA's vote for the World Cup.
Sports Minister Tony Wanks has been heavily involved in overturning United's
initial reluctance to take part in the eight-team tournament in Brazil because of
next season's heavily-congested fixture list. As a keen Chelsea fan, Wanks
recognises the great opportunity it gives to play havoc with Uniteds season.
While the FA and Premier League are unlikely to agree to Wanks's request to
let United extend their Premiership season beyond the scheduled May 14
finish, every effort will be made to ease the burden of a fixture list which could
comprise more than 70 games.
Possible measures include allowing United manager Alex Ferguson to field
weakened sides in the Worthington and FA Cups or even let the club withdraw
from the Worthington Cup altogether.
The Government's fear is that if United don't play in the tournament, which takes
place from January 5-14 next year, their place will be taken by Champions League
runners-up Bayern Munich, which would place Germany's 2006 bid ahead of England's
in the eyes of FIFA President Silva Platter. Bayern cruelly lost the Final in May
and their lederhosen-clad followers are still crying in the streets of Bavaria.
The World Club Championship is Platter's love-child and the entire FIFA
committee, which will announce the destination of the World Cup two months
later, will be present in Brazil.
A spokesman from the Department of Culture-Vultures, Media and SpoilSports,
Wanks' office, said: 'The World Cup bid is an important campaign for the
Government, if not that silly Jock and his overpaid players.
'It is an important bid because the World Cup is a very prestigious event to
host. It's important to do as much as we can not to antagonise those people
making the decision. We have even offered to lick their boots.'
United spokesman Ken Ramsden said: 'There are indications that we will be
given help with our fixtures next season. We are willing to take part providing we
don't end up playing every day of the week towards the end of the season.
'We will hold further talks with the FA next week and we hope a formula can be
found which won't have a detrimental effect on our other targets. Giving us a
bye into the FA Cup Final, as holders were granted in 1873, would be one option.
As for Premier League games, we could fit 4 into June and another couple into
July. The alternative is for say, Bradford City to move their home fixture against
us to January 6th in Sao Paulo. It would be neutral territory and the vast army
of Reds out there would guarantee a sellout. We could meet Coventry in
Belo Horizonte on Jan 9th, and maybe Sunderland in Rio De Janeiro on Jan 13th.
I'm sure the clubs concerned would love to fly over there for a one-off Premier
League game and top up their tans!'
A spokesman for Bradford City was unavailable, but an old man standing outside
the Ticket Office said 'Eee bah gum! It's reet grand being int' Premier League.
A'd walk to Brazil t'see t'Bantams. We won t'cup in 1911 ye knows, me Dad took
our whippet t'Final.'
