--------------------------------- [35] United, Top of the League --------------------------------- Posted Friday, November 30, 2001 by redend: Deloitte & Touche yesterday released their latest list of the world's richest clubs, based on figures from the 1999-2000 season. No surprise that United are top of the league - with Madrid close behind. Position Club Turnover (£m) 1 Manchester Utd 117.0 2 Real Madrid 103.7 3 Bayern Munich 91.6 4 AC Milan 89.7 5 Juventus 88.4 6 Lazio 79.4 7 Chelsea 76.7 8 Barcelona 75.2 9 Internazionale 68.9 10 Roma 64.1 11 Arsenal 61.3 12 Borussia Dortmund 59.5 13 Leeds United 57.1 14 Fiorentina 54.2 15 Rangers 51.7 16 Marseille 49.9 17 Tottenham 48.0 18 Parma 47.5 19 Liverpool 46.4 20 Newcastle United 45.1 --------------------------------- [34] And there's more ... --------------------------------- Posted Friday, November 30, 2001 by redend: http://www.sportingodds.co.uk/adserver/scripts/ict.dll?click?rnews0 Sporting Odds have gone mad now after we asked for the first goalscorer odds. Total goals and scorecasts too. Total Goals 0 or 1 9/4 2 or 3 4/5 4 or more 5/2 RHT: More than 4 is worth a punt at 5/2 isn't it? Scorecasts - first goalscorer combined with correct score - look interesting too. RHT: Becks to score first goal and United to win 3-2 is tempting at 150/1.

Us v the rest is how its always been, how we like it, how we have put silverware in the cabinet and why so many others are sick with jealousy. So we need total support from now until we say our farewells to Fergie at Hampden (hopefully). And if any Red near you steps out of line its your duty to politely explain to them that what the lads need is total support - nothing more or less. And if that doesn't work - we wouldn't suggest you slap them - no, a swift kick in the bollocks (or near offer) is the best way to get the point over. Over the last decade it would be easy to slip into the idea that its all about winning trophies - and ONLY about winning trophies. But its not. That is the definition of a gloy hunter. Its about being a Red and sticking together through thick & thin. Otherwise we'd never have been the best supported team in the league when we dropped into the old 2nd Division. So its time to close ranks and support the lads whatever happens. And if trophies fall in our lap at the end of the season then it will be all the sweeter. And that's the way it should be. And finally - having read story [5] below - in response to the knobs who came up with the first letters of the teams we've lost to this season making out Blanc's name. Well here's a message for them to work out - and the same goes for all the others who've been having a pop lately. Fulham United Chelsea Kingstonian Olympiakos Fulham Fulham Arsenal Newcastle Derby Derby Inter Everton Yeovil Olympiakos United Sunderland Arsenal Derby Arsenal Blackburn United Chelsea United Newcastle Tottenham Sunderland OK? Feel better.
