An ‘easy’ start but jury remains out on Owen

IRREFUTABLE proof that I am getting both old and sad: more than once, whilst watching Sunday’s rather tedious 90 minutes, I found myself slyly turning on an earpiece-tranny combo to hear what Alan Green was blathering on about on the BBC’s commentary.

I’ll be toting a thermos and a tartan lap-shawl at this rate. Old Radio-Face never lets you down; within 10 minutes of kick-off, he was absurdly alleging that United had been given easy early fixtures “yet again” and invited listeners to draw the conclusion that the whole matter was a standard MUFC/PL fix.

Yes, and aliens killed JFK, didn’t they Alan?
