In Rob Hutchison‘s latest set of one-word verdicts, after the 2-0 defeat at Old Trafford, he deviates from custom and practice. Instead of a single word and mark per player, he offers a 13-word sentence (14 if you include FFS), presented as – you guessed – one word per player. Plus the mark, a depressing mix of 4s and 5s. Their star? Januzaj surely … Roger East? Off to the Northern League . . .

Defoe – 5 The

We got it Salut. Just taking some blogging license or whatever it’s called.
For those who didn’t get it, despite the odd clue in the introduction, Rob’s one-worders read as follows when laid end to end: “It’s bad enough going to Old Trafford without hitting the self destruct button FFS.”
Larsson is worth more than 4 Rob. Come on!
You gave Gomez 5 and they were a crap band.
Gomez = Trafford?
I’m puzzled Rob.
More Rusholme, I’d have thought but certainly no “Rusholme Ruffian.” Wasn’t that The Jones’s?
No maybe not.
Graham = Button (certainly not one of Cadbury’s).
Does he have 4 on there as well Nic?
What do you expect from someone who has his own name tattooed at the base of his back! FFS!
Fletcher 4 FFS sums up he’s season sadly !
