Moyes 'rejected' Fergie advice
David Moyes rejected Sir Alex Ferguson's advice to retain his Manchester United backroom team, according to Eric Steele.
Former United goalkeeping coach Steele was axed by Moyes in the close season, along with assistant manager Mike Phelan and first-team coach Rene Meulensteen.
Moyes chose to bring Chris Woods, Steve Round and Jimmy Lumsden with him from Everton, whilst also appointing former United and Toffees midfielder Phil Neville in his first full-time coaching role.
United's 2-1 home defeat by West Brom on Saturday means the club has now made its worst start to a league season for 24 years.
With the pressure already on Moyes right from the start of his Old Trafford reign, Steele has now revealed how the summers changes were handled.
"He spoke to me, Mick and Rene," Steele is quoted as telling fanzine United We Stand. "I told him I thought it was a brave decision.
"He listened to the manager's advice, but he wanted to be his own man."

Love the look of that stuff.
Is the place worth a visit? Nice surroundings, or just a place that churns out pottery?

It makes me laugh seeing all the "Safety First" messages in great big huge letters on something being built right next to a dangerous wreck.

Not quite, pie-eater!

A former women's prison in South Africa which once held Winnie Mandela is now home to a 12m-deep screaming vagina.
Visitors are invited to walk through the artwork, by 30-year-old artist Reshma Chhiba, in a reaction against the former symbol of oppression.
As they do, the scarlet walls ring out with screams and laughter. The "yoni" - the Sanskrit word for vulva, or vagina - is skirted by acrylic wool imitation pubic hair over a tongue-like sponge walkway.
Chhiba said: "It's a screaming vagina within a space that once contained women and stifled women. It's revolting against this space... mocking this space, by laughing at it."
The prison, in the central Johannesburg area of Braamfontein, dates back to 1892, and its Womens' Prison held Winnie Madikizela-Mandela in 1958, when she was imprisoned for protesting against apartheid segregation, and again in 1976.
The artist said the work also opposes deeply entrenched patriarchal systems, and taboos around the vagina.

Weren't 'the kids' the ones that showed the best performances in pre-season if I remember correctly?

That particular weather lady does sound a bit like the Mars Attacks aliens when she says "konban wa".

You're very likely right.
We aren't concentrating enough.

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned it but the AKB-48 janken taikai is on LIVE now.
It's very exciting.

About bloody time that it's getting there if you ask me!

Sadly this thread is suitable for today.

Was there a date for that? Perhaps when the new phones launch.
Will be interesting to see if the many people who moved from docomo will go back.

That's due in a few months apparently.

As some of you may know, Michael Le Vell - an actor on UK soap Coronation Street - was accused of child rape and has now been found not guilty.
Throughout all of this trial, he has been on the front page of the tabloids and other info about his private life, infidelities, alcoholism, etc have been plastered everywhere.
Meanwhile, the accuser has remained and will remain totally anonymous.
I just can't see how that is fair.
