#superinjunction

I guess it was only a matter of time before an actual newspaper did this:

I wonder if this means that - given that it's been all over the internet for the last couple of weeks - they're now confident of not being prosecuted?

So it was Neil Lennon?
Mike Brown: "Round 12: T N R S A E I G U

C1: SIGNATURE (18) ["9; not written down"]
C2: SEATING (7)
Score: 108–16 (max 113)

Another niner for Adam and yet another century. Well done, that man."

Awesome. There was a great BBC article yesterday where they had a screenshot of a tweet naming the Mystery Person, and they'd had to black out the name (obviously) but they'd also blacked out #superinjunction, as if that's the only way to search for a specific tweet. I actually hadn't been paying this story any attention until then, so didn't know it was, but after that I googled the bts of the tweet you could see and hey pesto. Awesomely rediculous shit.

It'll be interesting to see how Sky handle the Man Utd - Blackpool game this afternoon (with regard to the crowd sound). There's definitely going to be some interesting Giggs-centric chanting and songs going on, I reckon.

This lends credibility to the Richard Keyes 'tarmacking' allegations.

Even the English papers are finding a way round injunctions by publishing articles that contain nothing except clues....

This was published way back on 10th May long before the Twitter avalanche.

Not to mention Saturday's

"Ryan Giggs’ wife Stacey Cooke is normally an invisible WAG. But this week an ultra-slim Stacey turned up at the Manchester United player-of-the-year awards in a staggeringly sexy frock, showing that she’s every bit the equal of those stylish WAGs Abbey Clancy and Coleen Rooney.
Ryan’s a lucky chap indeed, so couldn’t he have tried a bit harder with that smile? I, for one, would love to read more about what a happy couple they make."

Is it now illegal to say anything private about anyone now? It would be if they had a superinjunction, and someone telling you there was one would breach it, so you have to assume they do.

My question of who's the other footballer was serious - does no one know?

Unless there's been another new one, it's Kevin Nolan.

My money was on Nobby Stiles. This answers your question and maybe some others.

Also this is useful for keeping up with these things.

Cheers chap! I heard on the grapevine you've got terrible knobby styles. You should injunct it.
