Are all Sky pundits members of EDL?
Most of them are thick, middle-aged Brits from working class backgrounds so it's hardly a surprise. Your average bloke in the pub who reads The Sun probably thinks Ray and Merse are spot on.

Wilkins is also one of those, 'You weren't a footballer, so you know nothing' brigade. That has cropped up a lot in his broadcasts.
A few months ago he was being a total knob (in an argument with an equally obnoxious knob from the gutter press) about Neymar's freekick being a goalkeeping error, telling the journalist that he didn't understand because he'd never played the game. Ray seemed blissfully unaware of the fact that toddling around the centre circle like he'd cacked himself for 90 minutes hardly made him much of an authority on goalkeeping at the highest level either.

I remember that. As I said in a previous post he is patronising. He knows everything and you know nothing. He never used to be this bad. I always used to like him. Maybe booze and bitterness.

Isn't he the official photographer or something? So guess we are going to sign Victor today!!
No he's not. He's a freelance photographer that has done work for United, and also a big United fan.

Wish this would hurry up so I can transfer him over on FIFA.

So what is involved in a medical, does anyone know?
Here is a nice article - https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/whats-medical-how-pass-one-and-why-some-players-dont

Test 1: Heart and health
A club medical includes cardiac screening with an ECG, echo monitor and heart health history questionnaire; these may also feature blood tests and a fitness check. The club doctor may include a urine test to detect proteins or ketones that indicate health issues such as diabetes.

Test 2: Musculoskeletal stability
The physio team's in-depth look at possible weak spots like the lower lumbar (back) and pelvic region – areas where hamstring and adductor problems can originate from. They may also check for any defects in function or muscle tightness when performing straightforward moves by using drills such as squats, hop tests and lunges.

Test 3: Isokinetic issues
Focusing on muscles and movements (like the quads and hamstrings, for example), the physios can work out the ratios between the two muscle groups as they work together and identify weaknesses which may predispose injury or have developed post-injury. Knee flexion and extension drills are among those used to check the player’s movement.

Test 4: Deep scanning
In the event of a history of problems, the medical team will have a hospital on standby for a magnetic resonance or ultrasound scan. Scanning units can be used to assess the majority of muscles and joints in the human skeleton.

Test 5: Body fat score
Clubs may use Bioelectrical Impedance technology – a body fat monitor that sends an electrical signal through the body to measure lean tissue and fat. Most professional players are expected to be around the 10% body fat mark. Fat callipers are still used in many instances for reliability, as long as the same examiner is involved in any re-testing.

Test 6: Ergometric sprint test
Does what it says on the tin – measures a player’s speed over a set distance. A result of sub-three seconds for the 20m sprint test would be expected for outfield players in the Championship.

No he's not. He's a freelance photographer that has done work for United, and also a big United fan.
Yes, he is also quite connected but only shares "breaking" stuff soon before it happens

"When United buy a Chev the price always start with a 3. Why don't we buy a proven British cart with British horses instead?"
