I'd imagine United had something to do with it

I was bemoaning the pressure they put on 90 Minutes magazine to stop mocking United which led to the publication closing down. I really wouldn't be surprised if United requested a 'cease and desist' although I suppose BBC and Sky may have trotted out the 'think of the children' rhetoric without sinister interventions from 'Sir' Alex Ferguson and co.

Remember Fantasy Football League doing a take-off with Statto drop-kicking a heckler, brilliant.

I haven't got a mark back for the Frankfurt School yet, not looking forward to it to be honest. Getting stuck into my dissertation now, far more fun!
