My Ledley King Testimonial programme arrived today, sent to me by Cliff & Joan Jones. There are three autographs inside it but I have no idea who they are so will have to work that out, as well as Cliff autographing it himself. They also sent me a postcard pic of Cliff, also autographed, one of their match tickets from Executive Box 39, a ribboned ID card for The Centenary Lounge and the King of he Lane guest list with all the players' names on it. I will really treasure these items: I only expected a programme and wasn't sure if they would be able to get any autographs.

They are off on hols today so I'm really pleased they managed to post it before they went globe-trotting.

I may scan the programme page if I can't work out who signed it as someone on SC may know the signatures.

Is that the...???

Seen your posted pic, so I guess it is!

Well we're not talking about a children's party here, we're talking about the beautiful game. I'm just confused why Webb thought he had the right to all of a sudden have a kick around, I'm sure it was not planned that way. And how did it come to be that a fan would become the linesman? I was left a little confused. I'm not a kill joy I swear, I just like order to things.

Yup. Both sides definitely used more than 3 subs each as well. Barely recognisable as a football match.

Actually, I don't give a damn about the subs. That is conducive to the occasion for the obvious reason that more people can make an appearance and also because I think subs shouldn't be restricted in the FIFA rules.

Good point, sorry

I also think it's disgusting that this game was played the day after our last match of the season. There was simply no time for our first-team to recover, which gave Ledley's XI a clear advantage. Plus at one point I'm pretty sure Kaboul and Dawson deliberately gave away a penalty. I hope FIFA will be investigating this blatant act of match-fixing immediately.

The whole match should be replayed, and all the money raised returned to the fans.

And Webb should give his Man Utd shirt back to Fergie.

You're just going way too far.
