Great stuff!

This excerpt from the Guardian live coverage made me laugh:

We will see a lot of that this season, I suspect, because Rooney is surrounded by clowns, jokers and John O'Shea, who defies description, and he is going to get extremely frustrated.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has pleaded for Burnley manager Owen Coyle to be given time as the Clarets adjust to their first ever season in the Premier League.

After losing their opening fixture at Stoke, the Clarets are facing up to a nightmare run of matches, starting with the visit of Manchester United to Turf Moor on Wednesday night.

"I hope he has got an understanding chairman," said Ferguson.

"We live in a results industry. No matter what we think is fair or how difficult we think it is to get into the Premier League, some directors don't think that way.

"Their decisions are results-fuelled also by the local press perhaps or the local butcher. If they go into the butcher's and someone says 'Your team had a bad result on Saturday' they panic.

"Every manager is under the same pressure.

"It doesn't matter what you have spent, if they are not staying in that Premier League, they are getting the Dan Mack. It's a horrible part of their life."

It was a key contribution so I'll raise it to Key lime
