I notice that Patrick Barclay's daily column in the Evening Standard has turned into an almost daily Fergie bashing exercise. He gets a full page instead of just a narrow column, now and he makes sure there is a dig at something Fergie has said or done.

I wonder if he and Fergie have had a few spats in the past?

I feel Arsene and Arsenal are too nice and clean perhaps. Whilst it's admirable, it does cost us. It explains why muscles injuries take at least double as long to heal at Arsenal. It explains why players like Clichy and Gibbs never seem(ed) to man up.
I'm sure steroids and HGH are used plentifully in professional football, and not just at the top.
Blood doping, certainly in Spain and Italy. I wouldn't trust Germans either.

just a few weeks after leaving Man U for Lazio. Neg will probably know how long it can stay in the system for.

It was a round the same time as the Davids and Guardiola positives in Italy, when the crazy Italians suddenly decided to have a flurry of proper testing.

This contrast in attitudes between Sir Alex at the theater of dreams on the subject of drugs and corruption in football - against that of Wenger's , shows Kroneke's view on United to be rather flawed.
Who can forget Rio doing a runner from their training ground when the drug testers came to call that time.
There have been allegations of match officials bribed or coerced to act in United's favor for years in matches at OT.
Riley was one example - he brought our unbeaten run to an end with a dodgy penalty awarded to Roooney, and also let Horsehead and others , kick our players all over the park in that crucial what would have been 50 unbeaten game.

There has been some concerns though that prolonged use of creatin,a energy replacement drug, can produce long-term adverse side effects.

in Ra'Ra's at the Angel during GG's time.
The stuff that Wenger gave him was like a sherbet by comparison :-)

tbf to the drugs, I doubt they had much to knacker.

God I love Merse but he's on the shy side of special.
