IF the post was being misdelivered,you have to be a serious dumb f**k postie...... or a united fan.

Vieira said he and other City players and staff living nearby in the millionaires’ row were often forced to deliver each other’s post because of Royal Mail mix-ups.

He said: “We have lived there for around two years and we’ve had things go to the wrong address three or four times.

“Often the neighbours would have to bring round my mail. I had Adam Johnson, David Platt, (Sergio) Aguero and (Emmanuel) Adebayor all living next door and we all had similar problems.

3 or 4 times in 2 years. Hardly "often" is it?

Perhaps "Very occasionally the neighbours have had to bring round my mail" would be more accurate though admittedly not helping him make his case so flamboyantly.

Bugger the problems with his post.
More startling is the revelation that Adam Johnson,David Platt, Sergio Aguero and Emmanuel Adebayor all lived together next door.
And they say homosexuality isn't rife in football.

"Working for Manchester City we have a department which if we have any problems, they deal with that situation."

... reckon they ought to get ALL their mail delivered to work as it seems that most of them are totally incapable of dealing with "situations" that us downtrodden members of society (i.e. those earning slightly less than £75k per week) take in our stride because we don't have 'departments' to deal with them.

Wonder if there is a "backside wiping" sub-department ...

Luckily the Final Notice seemed to be delivered ok.

The title of the thread is wrong now - it should read Patrick Vieira 0 Royal Mail 1 - the referee didn't believe him and he got done.

But a court rejected his defence and he was banned for six months and fined £1,000. The punishment was suspended after he lodged an appeal.
