Newcastle, Chelsea, Bournemouth, (Bayern), Liverpool, West Ham... Manchester United has been extremely lucky in their results lately and if the luck doesn't continue for the next 5 games, ETH is in trouble.

It's gotta be Kompany who's first to go. He's so clearly out of his depth, makes the same excuses every week without ever changing his tactics. Big Sam will be there in time for new years.

for more on the United way

quote:

Manchester United are under investigation by Trafford Council after several people alleged they became unwell after being served raw chicken during an event hosted at Old Trafford.

United, who declined to comment, are also conducting an internal investigation after receiving complaints from guests who attended an event hosted at the club’s stadium in recent months. The precise nature of the event is not known.

Symptoms of food poisoning can include diarrhoea, fever, stomach cramps, nausea and vomiting. Salmonella, an infection associated with raw chicken, can result in hospitalisation. The investigations by the council and the club are expected to examine whether symptoms experienced by the guests were related to what they consumed on United’s premises, or whether other illnesses may have struck down the visitors.

United’s current food hygiene rating is listed on the government’s website as ‘5: Very Good’ — the highest grade achievable — but the incident involving raw chicken may place this rating under jeopardy. Old Trafford’s annual Food Standards Agency (FSA) inspection was scheduled for October 23 but the club’s rating has not yet been updated for the calendar year 2023.

The FSA is an independent government department that works to protect public health, with its ratings assessing the handling of food, how food is stored and prepared and the cleanliness of facilities.

Any businesses given low ratings by the local authority food safety officer must make urgent or major improvements to hygiene standards. If it is judged that there is an imminent risk to public health, when food may be unsafe to eat, part of a business could be stopped or closed down until it is safe to recommence.

United draw substantial revenue from hosting events and providing hospitality, not least on matchday, and any downgrading of the club’s food hygiene rating would be a damaging development and may mean United have to spend significantly on improving protocols.

Restoring a rating can take a lengthy period of time and could also impact the hospitality rates the club can charge.

United’s battle to protect their hygiene rating comes just as Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s major £1.3billion investment is set to be confirmed in the coming weeks.

Manchester United declined to comment on Friday evening when approached by The Athletic, while Trafford Council had not responded by the point of publication.

based on some of the kebabs I have eaten, I'm pretty sure that the threshold for a five-star FSA rating is that they can go through the walk-in (on their scheduled pre-arranged visit) and not find anything that's more than two weeks out of date or an unlabelled bag of pig kidneys

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
If they didn’t want raw chicken then maybe they shouldn’t have put Patrice Evra in charge of catering!

I am a spectacularly bad poster and everyone in the Schadenfreude thread hates my guts.
It's funny how Patrice Evra orally pleasuring raw chicken is absolutely nowhere near the worst thing a former man united player of his era has been filmed doing with their mouth

And not even on the same page of terrible things former man united players have generally done

To be fair, they saw Chelsea buy 150 players and get worse.

Therefore surely selling all your players can only make you better.
