Jermaine the Legend scoring at the Beckford End
Following the success of the Bremner Square project at Elland Road, and with a further “Centenary Square” in the offing, there are now audacious plans for a similar development outside the Beckford End at Old Trafford, home of Manchester’s lesser football club.
It’s anticipated that there will be keen interest among Leeds fans in purchasing stones to be laid in the shadow of the Beckford End. The granite squares will feature the LUFC club crest, with a variety of inscriptions available, including the iconic “January the 3rd, remember the date“. It is even suggested that a statue will be commissioned as the central feature of Beckford Square, based on a famous picture of the United striker celebrating his legendary winner, with a disconsolate Gary Neville in the background.
A Leeds spokesperson commented: “We feel that, as we’re running out of space for commemorative squares at Elland Road, it’s time to look further afield and fully exploit the commercial potential of these tribute features because, as we all know, there are Leeds fans everywhere. Old Trafford is a big site with not a vast amount going on so, if this Beckford Square project goes as well as we expect, we may consider a further project in the area known locally, as well as in Torquay, Milton Keynes, Singapore and other such hotbeds of Man U support, as the Forecourt. This would provisionally be named “Last Champions Square“. We’re all quite excited by these innovative ideas”.
It is confidently predicted that, by the year 2050, most of the north of England will be paved in Leeds United commemorative granite stones, realising profits for the club well into the tens of billions of pounds. At this point a takeover bid for Paris Saint-Germain could well be on the cards, with PSG henceforth known as “le petit frère de Leeds United“.

This is my most pathetic troll, ladies and gentlemen, he labours under the delusion that he’s got admin powers at News Now and that he’s continually “getting me banned”. I usually bin his rubbish, but I thought I’d show you some of the dross I get from this sad individual who gets really rattled whenever I have a go at his beloved man u. Last time, I emailed him to see if he fancies a chat, needless to say, the coward gave no reply. Equally needless to say, all of my posts appear on News Now despite this clown’s delusions of importance.
James Willoughby aka Paul – a certifiable wimp and coward, and most definitely a suitable case for treatment 🤣

Hi Rob,
I must apologise for not contributing to the banter on the last few posts, seething as I am over our constant capitulations over the last few weeks of the season…That said, things could be far worse ; I could have suffered that most notorious of hereditary diseases, being born with the congenital defect that is a ManU fan.
My neice has recently become engaged to a scum fan and it was my grave task to inform her that making this most embarrassing of mistakes does not actually make her a Fiancée, but a full-time Carer!! Needless to say, there are many conversations currently taking place in our household with the words “honour” and “killing”…

Talking of Pogba? Pogba is a rich man’s Carlton Palmer, who wasn’t fit to wear David batty’s boots. Batty would have Pogba in his pocket, with him being subbed off, every game just like Paul Ince was .

I still think that some of the volition for HS2 is so Scum fans can get from the capital to Manchester and back more quickly especially as a new Old Trafford wasn’t built near the M25. If the powers that be really wanted this project to benefit the country as a whole why didn’t they start building it in the north?

Very good and a real rib tickler….the imagination ran riot, just the thought of the comments on those stones had me in stitches. It’ll be worth buying another stone just to remind the scum who really is THE top team.
I will be watching at lunch time today and I am happy to part with the cash but how am I going to survive with that monstrosity of club branding waving about in my line of vision…..even King Richard the 3rd did not have to suffer that injustice and torture.
