Drunk and disorderly is one thing. Chinning a pleb is usually admissible if you are a superstar footballer. But resisting …

• Part 1: Arsenal to Manchester City Manchester United – Shaun O’Donnell – Observer reader 6/10 This was always going to be a transition season regardless of us being champions. Moyes knew the lack of quality in midfield needed addressing but left it until the last day of the transfer window and bought a player who he played further up the pitch.

If only injury had kept him on the side lines, we might have come away…
