Big in Japan but this Club Cup is a farce

YOU know, it’s all too easy for cynics to mock this World Club Cup.

Fun, too. It couldn’t be more of a Mickey Mouse cup if it had big black ears for handles and was regularly seen out and about with Minnie. (She being the metaphorical Carling Cup, presumably)

Still, Fergie now has his cut out ‘n’ keep excuse card ready: any 2009 shortfall will be blamed on Japan, dodgy sushi and Sepp Blatter. Treble sakis all round!
