Would you believe it, Manchester United have announced its latest sponsorship deal with Chevrolet.
This is great news as we can now expect to see the players to drive Chevrolet Sparks, Cruzes, not the mention the classic Matiz and Tacuma.
This weeks Snetterton debate asks forum members to post when they see a Manchester United player behind the wheel of this brand of car instead of those usual budget brands which only have two seats and unnecessarily wide wheels.

Having spent two weeks watching real athletes, anything Premiership related disgusts me at the moment. It'll pass though...
I want to see Ferguson driving a Sonic with Rooney in a child seat in the back.

I watched one of our players dive and fake an injury when he wasn't touched in the last match and I couldn't help think how it was no different to the badminton players, cheating is cheating.
As for cars give them all Vettes with the TC wired to off should thin out some of the overpaid brats quick enough.
This forum is dead, don't bother...

I wouldn't go that far. What they got up to was an inevitable consequence of the idiotic method of knockout/progression that the BWF settled on and were warned months ago would happen, and continued to be warned right up to match before theirs were to commence. It was made worse because of the dumbed down scoring system that was adopted in 2005.
Sure they were punished, but for providing spectators poor value for money and for embarrassing the BWF, essentially, not for cheating.
Edit: I should have added, a more appropriate comparisson to football would be with, say, England playing out a 0 - 0 draw to finish second in their group so that, in the next round, they get to play Poland who managed to finish top of their group instead of Germany who are the stronger side, but stumbled and so finishing second too. That kind of scenario plays out at least once in every major championship.
If I knew what I was getting into, I wouldn't have done it...and I would have been wrong.

^ Not to mention that all the players involved got thrown out of the games for what they did whereas the cheating in football is considered a sort of gamesmanship. Considered acceptable. Also, in football the crowd will cheer their man on for his actions yet the crowd at the badminton booed the players. No, not even remotely the same. Football doesn't know the meaning of the word 'sportsmanship'.
You know, I do believe that is a 'pec'...

Most of them would have been booing the players, many not...I know of more than a few there that were giving it to the BWF for the utter cock-up that led to that emabarassment.
I've decided Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock should become an Olympic sport. Straight forward, best of five, unambiguous, fast moving, and anyone (with hands and full digital movement) can do it.

I'm an avid fan of Stoke City, so generally oppositions' injuries are not faked...

Presumably if I see a Manchester United player in a Spark, he will have been made to drive it for missing a penalty or something similar?

Sorry, but that's just a smoke screen to make MORE money at the expense of making the real fans of Football, not just using the best team going to make money.It is all tinsle and window dressing, so everyone gets a free car and perks etc,that's small change to the glazier brothers,it's a sad state of affairs that a sport only exists if there's money to be made from it, are the fans getting value for there season tickets?,and another thing,when will Scottish football be the same?(no jokes please, i know them all)
