What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 602 & BENKYO RADIO 602

What a piss-poor performance by Manchester United against Brentford. It’s okay because the last time I was humiliated, I rebuilt myself to the point where now I’m an advisor from which 17 different American Intelligence Agencies fight about (except DIA, I hate those guys, they keep kidnapping every tech recruiter who wants to hire me, which is against the law). You want to humiliate the Red Devils? You want them to be last on the EPL table? Okay. Just don’t complain when we are out to destroy the competition for the rest of the season. If the Glazers do not sell the club to new buyers as soon as possible, I’m afraid Alex Ferguson will have a heart attack. Don’t jeopardize the most important club in the history of the English Premier League. The manager Erik ten Hag must resolve the situation immediately, or it’s time for an emergency meeting and bring Zinedine Zidane as Coach. Let’s not forget that ETH won six trophies as Ajax in the Eredivisie.

Until Next Time!
