truth behind the Rangers fans and the Manchester riots
Thursday 15 May - Manchester, near England
107,239 hungover Rangers' supporters (and an exiled Scotsman who drove up from Coventry) firmly blamed Great Manchester Police for last night's scenes of fighting, violent disorder and urinating in the street.
One fan, Jimmy 'Och Aye Jimmy' McTavish from Glasgow, claimed:
'Everyone was having a great time in Piccadilly Gardens, sunbathing, drinking and joking around with the police.
At 19:35, everyone went to the toilet, big Gordon put the kettle on, Doug popped out for popcorn and we all sat down to enjoy Rangers' biggest game in 36 years on the big screen.
Then, without any warning, the police switched channels to 'Coronation Street'. That's when it all kicked off.'

so farewell then, Sven Goran Eriksson
I have to say I am a little surprised at this breaking news. Still, I guess Eriksson will draw another excessive compensation package while he seeks alternative employment.
In my view, buying all those expensive foreigners, beating United twice and finishing mid-table was a creditable first season.
Mind you, I always had niggling reservations about Mr. Shinawatra.
So, who's next for the job at Manchester City - Jose Mourinho ?
