Pogba: he's burnt his bridges and if United fans welcome him next season they are deluded and taken in by club hype. No player has ever annoyed me more. He epitomises all that is wrong with modern game

United on slippery path banning various journalists. Can't cope with scrutiny or is it truth that hurts? Fergie did it once for a week but not on this scale. EtH surely must have been badly advised. Why don't all journos walk out to show solidarity

Re United in pink: what a load of nostalgic nonsense linking it with MEN football pink. The very sad reason that paper folded was because of Sky insisting matches kick off at other than 3pm on Saturdays. That's something I know ALL about!

Why don't City and/or other Premier League clubs stay at home rather than go on pointless overseas trips that in City's case has caused embarrassment. With all money they have could play friendlies with strugglingclubs such as Bolton or Bury. That would be a PR success
