The greatest fly-on-the-wall documentary yet to be created is Roy Keane taking over as manager of Man Utd. Every last one of them - players, owners, Fergie, the lot - get absolutely eviscerated in the most spectacular fashion. Utd could pay off their debts with the PPV money.

Roy Keane was desperate to bring up the horse in today's Overlap podcast.. 😂
Don't think him and Sir Alex Ferguson will be making up anytime soon.
🐎🤯 Did you know a dispute over a RACEHORSE helped pave the way for the Glazers to buy Manchester United?
It all started with Sir Alex Ferguson and a champion racehorse called Rock of Gibraltar.
Ferguson believed he owned 50% of the horse, including its incredibly valuable stud rights, potentially worth tens of millions of pounds.
But Irish businessman John Magnier, who was also a major Manchester United shareholder, disputed his claim.
The disagreement turned into a bitter legal battle, with Magnier and fellow shareholder JP McManus putting pressure on Ferguson and demanding investigations into United's transfer dealings.
The relationship completely broke down and led to a settlement out of court and was followed by Magnier and McManus putting their shares up for sale.
In May 2005, they sold their combined 28.7% stake in Manchester United to Malcolm Glazer, giving him the controlling interest he needed to complete his takeover.
The Glazers then took control of United through a debt-funded takeover that would change the club's financial future forever.
All because of a falling-out over a horse. 🐎😳

How do you have 8 Ballon d'Ors, but when the world is asked to vote on the single most impressive, dominant, and undisputed individual win ever, they pick the guy who has 5? This is what you get when half of your awards are heavily disputed as charity handouts from FIFA.
Siuu.

Harry Kane went straight to the club to celebrate his Ballon d’Or win… see the bottles they brought out for him 😂🔥

Harry Kane going from football’s most famous trophyless player to a Ballon d’Or winner might be the greatest example of why changing employers can improve your life.

I know people are worried about fuel prices. And I get it. You get to the pump, watch the numbers climb, and wonder why it's costing so much more than it used to.
The reality is that global events are pushing up costs, and families here at home are feeling the impact.
But I won't accept that there's nothing I can do to help.
That's why from today, you'll be able to see petrol and diesel prices on Google Maps, compare nearby stations and find the cheapest option before you fill up.
It's a small change, but if there's a practical way to help people keep more money in their pocket, I'll do it.
So you’ve done absolutely nothing 😂😂😂😂
