The day has come and you are in a holding cell under the Colloseum, waiting to be crucified, chewed by wild animals, burnt, or any number of horrific ends.

Thankfully it will be brief, except crucifixion.

This is how Uniteds players will be feeling in the dressing room ten minutes before kick off. Fear has to be denied as Bonner has done, because its there.

Death by football is not brief, it will end though.

In May.

Meanwhile, the supporters will look on in horror, silent, bowed. They will dwindle, who wants to watch that, and pay for it. A pit of fire, flames on bare flesh, pain unending, this is Hades, not the Abbey. All orchestrated by the architect of doom.

Priti of Downing Street.
