It’s not often that Stretford-End.com is honoured with the privilege of announcing breaking news regarding the world’s biggest club, but we did just that on Sunday when I announced through the website and my twitter feed that we had WORLD exclusive pictures of the new Manchester United shirts for next season. Another blog website published our pictures and one of their readers sent in a picture of their own which had the shirts and socks.

Sir Alex has come in for criticsm for voicing his opinion about the physical condition of Alan Wiley. Clearly an attempt to deflect the heat from his side following a poor display but the media backlash which is trying to get Fergie charged with all sorts is bordering on the rabid.

A “journalist” for Football365, Sarah Winterburn, opines that Fergie’s comments were worthy of comparison to Adebayor’s recent antics against Arsenal. He should be fast-tracked to punishment. He should not allowed to explain those comments. Really? Were the comments really that bad? Let’s examine them.
