The Daily Fail: Wednesday

Time to introduce a new semi-regular feature, titled "the Daily Fail." I unofficially started doing it earlier this week, but now it's time to make it official, or at least slightly more official.

Basic idea is covering the bad or just plain amusing headlines and articles in the footy press. Kind of like what the BBC does each morning, only much less comprehensive and with far more fail.

This morning's entry comes from Sky Sports. Your headline:

Double injury blow for United


Please make it Rooney and Ronaldo, please make it Rooney and Ronaldo, please make it Rooney and Ronaldo, please make it Rooney and Ronaldo, etc etc.

Nope!! Ha ha Sky Sports tricked you! Turns out it's just Neville and O'Shea. But, Sky Sports, tell us how exactly is it a "blow" when the two players in fact blow??


(More of these daily fails are to come as often as I can find them, which is where I need your help! If you spot anything craptastic out there in the football press, be sure to drop me a line -- unprofessionalfoul [at] gmail [dot] com.)

Maybe I'm a horrible person, but I think of a John O'Shea injury as a gift from the sports Gods.
