The Spoiler

A third Premiership international player slags off conditions in England


The hand that feeds get chomped on once again

Earlier this week Manchester United’s Nemanja Vidic decided to share his less than flattering comments about the quality of life in Manchester, with particular reference to his fondness for the timetables at Piccadilly station, and the way they so beautifully illustrate the multitude of opportunities to leave the city.

‘The climate here is something special! You get only a brief glimpse of sunlight before it’s all cloudy again. The winters are mild but in summer the temperatures seldom go higher than 20 degrees Celsius. And it rains, rains, rains!
