Fergies Former Players as Managers
at 17:21 23 Nov 2012

Been a lot on SSN today what with the statue unveiling and the fact we'll have had 26 managers in the time he's been at Manure.

I've been thinking have any of his former United players turned managers actually been as good as their hype or do they only get high profile jobs based on the fact they "might" have learnt something under him. I'm talking about Hughes, Bruce, Keane, Ince and to a lesser extent Robson. Without checking the web I think only Bruce is currently a manager. I can't think of any other league club in the last 26 years to produce so many managers. And with a lot of talk recently that a good option would have been to get Solskjaer and/or Neville will they be any different if they entered managing in England?

Beer at stadiums
at 12:08 17 Aug 2012

Hi all,

Been a lurker for many a year and have finally decided to take the plunge into the world of forums. For those interested I'm 25, studying Geology at uni and sit in South Africa Rd.

What bugs me is the crap beer they serve in the stadium. I remember being able to get a pint of Tetleys (I think?) in the old season ticket bar which wasn't bad and in the platinum bar I could get a small bottle of ale before the game but now I settle for cider poured from a pump labeled Carlsberg. Admittedly I only have to fork out 80p with the vouchers but I'd really like to see one of these premium European lagers served behind the counters.

I've noticed, mainly in post match interviews, that lots of Premier League teams have "beer partners". Mainly far eastern ones such as Chang (Everton) and Singha (Man U and Chelsea) and we have sodding Carlsberg. I did hope a few years back with all the rumours of the Kingfisher Stadium naming that we would get Kingfisher beer which I think isn't half bad, especially with a curry.

So my question to any seasoned travelling fan is:
Do any of the stadiums of the above mentioned teams sell the beer of their sponsoring partner, and does any non rugby stadium in the country sell a decent pint?

And my cheese changes week by week but I'll go for halloumi, even though I don't think of it as a cheese.
