AND WHILE WE'RE AT IT...: Norvell's big beef is the way the BBC covered the Glazer story - he (wrongly, actually) suggests that coverage "...continues to portray the takeover as an effort by a rogue financier with a funny beard and no heart, who wants to "take Manchester away from the people and into the hands of market forces." Never mind that Man U has been a public company for 14 years and, as one of the most valuable sports brands in the world, market forces are as much part of the team as red face paint and the smell of stale lager."

Meanwhile, there's this page of a popular newspaper, which depicts Glazer as a rogue financier with a funny beard who wants to take Manchester away from the people and into the hands of market forces. Who could take such a lefty view as that? Erm... that would be Fox News' sister paper, the Sun.
