"pretentious? moi?"

I remember doing a journalism course a while ago when we lectured endlessly about the BBC operating on the basis of total impartiality. Lawro's always been the embodiment of that for me. Twat.

My brother supports them, he's pretty level-headed and knowledgeable about football. Said both goals were essentially ridiculous, one a fluke the other a woeful decision, and a point was a fair result considering how we played for most of the game and then defended. Although he did add that United were shite this year.

More acceptable would probably be players having their usual squad numbers but all with the name Speed. Not a huge fan of that idea though Yer it's slightly American. I dunno I just loved the guy, want to see something beyond the normal for him.

Too much to have all players wearing a commemorative 11 SPEED on their shirts for the day? FIFA would probably not allow it anyway.

That's if it's due to mental health reasons. It would be good to leave coloured placards on seats that when held up form '11 SPEED' across a black and white background.

Not at all. We just all want an explanation for this unfathomable mess. It's the front runner at the minute in terms of speculation.

I've quoted myself because I'm shit at computers but you get my point like.

Nah it wasn't last minute, 60-70 iirc. But we completely dicked on them all game. Uriah Rennie sent Shearer off for fuck all. I remember speed having a stormer of a game, along with Bellamy. that almost broke the london hoodoo didnt it? they equalise in the last minute?

I finally burst into tears on the youtube tribute for the goal he scored away to Charlton. I remember sitting in the home stand completely forgetting I was totally alone and screamed "Speeeeeeedo". When they equalised I had a whole section chanting "You're not singing any more" at me, what a total knob. What a finish it was.

Just watched that youtube tribute. By fuck could he head the ball.

One phrase to sum it all up: Sad Mackem Bastard.

You know who our current number 11 is? Peter Lovenkrands. http://www.subsidesports.com/uk/catalog/category/view/sid/1568/ They stock the lettering style used from 1997 to 2007. I might email them and see if they'll put 'Speed 11' on my 97-99 home shirt if I send it to them. Could you let me know if they'll be willing to do that?

Sorry didn't post. Said I might buy that and wear at the Chelsea game. My way of saying thanks for memories and service.

Think I'm gonna get that and wear it at the Chelsea game. One way to say thanks for the memories, effort and class. Best i can find http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Welsh-Football-legend-Gary-Speed-Black-T-Shirt-Supporting-Ty-Hafan-/320802439512?pt=UK_Men_s_T_Shirts&hash=item4ab150c158 There is a few on this website, expensive but good quality http://www.classicfootballshirts.co.uk/specials/names-numbers/1997-99-newcastle-l-s-home-shirt-speed-11-xl.html

Remember when I was buying our home kit 2003-2005, the one with blue northern rock. Couldn't decide between Woodgate and Speed, went with Woodgate. Fucking gutted now. Wonder if there's any where I can get an old Speed jersey to commemorate...

I loved the fact that, no matter what, during his 6 years here you always knew No.11 was going to be in the line-up. A shining example of what it should mean to be a professional sportsman in age of pretenders, phonies, throwaway tossers and morons. Simply one of the best midfields, nay, players, to ever pull on the black and white. Goodbye Speedo.

I hope you don't mind but I'm pinching that for my facebook status. Great quote. Like a scarlet walrus.

It is ... just past the weird Triangular pub Yup right where I live then.

Hmmm didn't post. If that main road is Trafford Road I live right off it.

If the main road you speak of is Trafford Road, then yeh I live right off it. Do you live on those streets next to that bastarding DVLA place I spent an hour in last week? No idea. Basically, where the river is nearest to the ground I'm just there. On that note, does anyone know where the away fans are out boozing tonight? Better join in The DVLA place is in the tower block on the main road ... you wait for an hour and then they take £2000 quid from you in about 20 seconds. And give you a parking ticket.

I live about 200 yards from Old Trafford. Gone for a run around the block in my full Toon kit. Total and utter lol.

Looks like he may need a rest to me anyway.

The city is ours, the city is ours.... FUCK MANCHESTER, THE CITY IS OURS!
