Rats At The Swamp?

Thought this was pretty funny. I bet it's already been posted though hasn't it?

Football conspiracy theorists have long been able to smell a rat in even the most minor of incidents on the pitch, but those at Old Trafford might have more grounds than most after health inspectors reported the presence of rodents at the stadium.
An inspection of Manchester United's stadium revealed "mouse activity" which the club were advised to monitor, alongside a broken tap and flaking pipework. In response to the report, available through a Freedom of Information request, Manchester United said they had a "robust pest control system".
Meanwhile Reading risked getting entangled in a mess after food inspectors found cobwebs and dead insects in a drinks area.
The inspectors uncovered a host dubious hygiene practises in a number of other Premier League grounds, with Swansea criticised for serving pink chicken, leaving open a packet of ham in a kitchen and letting pate go off.
Chelsea were warned about a serious contravention of hygiene laws when they nearly served out of date "cooked turkey saddles". Poor labelling of meat pies earned the Stamford Bridge club a further reprimand, though a later inspection noted that their hygiene standards had improved to become generally excellent.
Fulham were ticked off about bread rolls being left under a wash basin, a rusty pair of scissors and a hole in the wall that might give access to pests. Southampton and Stoke City were told to tidy up, and Aston Villa, Wigan, QPR and West Ham were all also guilty of minor infringements.
But for the league's cleanest clubs, look no further than Manchester City, Liverpool, Everton, Arsenal, Tottenham, Newcastle and Sunderland. All of the above – generally rivals on the pitch – were equals in the keeping things tidy department.

A mate of mine does occasional work at the swamp as a favour and was in the stadium one evening on a none match day. The floodlights were turned on and he says the pitch was crawling with mice all scattering together due to the lights coming on. I guess any patch of grass will attract rodents and once in the stadium they are hard to control. Nice to hear we are clean though.....

Grossly unfair and shows more rags corruption.
Definitive proof that Taggart has a never ending supply of rats and vermin to pick his team from whilst other clubs are stuck with their announced official 25 man squads.
Bastards....But info I will have a ton of fun with....come here yer rag infested bastards.

Not surprised.
I went past there on a bicycle, by the side of the canal, a few years ago, & I saw the biggest fucking rat I've ever seen in my life or on film or anything. It was so fucking big, it didn't give a shit when I was hurtling toward it; didn't even look at me, just casually slobbed accross the towpath toward the canal (& its home on the other side). No doubt been stuffing its fat face with prawn sandwiches in the exec lounges on a daily basis. It was probably Neville's other sister.
Had it stopped, there would be no way I would have caried on pedalling towards it.

Apparently he's been saying that they're not thinking about us. Nice to know and I look forward to some day in the future when the newspapers don't carry a piece about us by one or other degenerate associated with that shithole of a club....

@ PD Of course the rags aren't thinking about us, we sit 7pts behind them,why would they? They are far too worried about their true rivals Liverpool who are only 24pts behind them. That shows real ambition.
I suppose the rags players are under orders from Taggart not to think about us...a dressing room full of sobbing players is the last thing he wants...Aguerooooooooooooooooo!.....:-)

So turd on a stick says they are not thinking of us , meanwhile he has an interview talking about us.

I just assumed it had to be a typo but couldn't figure it out. Remarkable really.

Priceless comment, John.
You've got the enviable skill of saying the right thing at exactly the right moment - especially from a City fan's perspective.
Can't stop chuckling at all the thoughts it evokes; nice one all round, old chum.

Not last night there wasn't. And strangely, the official attendance appears to have been mislaid as I couldn't see it anywhere today.
