    No **** Sir Alex!!

    Talk about hypocritical. How much does SKY pour into Premier League coffers each season? And how much does Man U get?

    SKY is ruining the game in this country. And you can't complain about the money when you are using it to finance the extortionate wages in the Premier League.

    You are not allowed to say anything bad about Sky mate.
    It is a new rule that if you say any bad things , it will be used against you for ever and you will be called allsorts of things.
    Sky is apparently the best thing since sliced bread, without it England`s cricket team would be rubbish, cycling would be rubbish, Darts,F1,in fact all sports would be rubbish especially football, just ask Hemsworth-tyke how much good they have done to make England the best Cricket side!
    It has got nothing at all to do with anything else other than Sky giving money out.

    I say all this as someone without satellite tele at all.(and in a sarcastic tone of typing):frown:

    I said the same earlier. As much as I agree with him he has no right to complain about it.

    Mark, I am obviously a very bad person. A dinosaur in a technical world, a Model-T in a Ferrari world.

    SKY is probably the best thing since sliced bread and are the greatest thing for football EVER!!

    (Do you think that will make up for it?)

    That will be you, Mark, me and all the other weak minded fools who dare to think that Sky is far from being the best thing to happen to football and sport in this country.

    I imagine all the women on your course look like sexy scientists/teachers/librarians/secretaries/etc.
