That was the bad weather weekend wasn't it? Strangely, it didn't snow in Manchester again after November.

Just noticed that. Fair play, David.

It was never a red in a million years. Really don't see what the fuss is all about.

Does this man have no shame in the lies he tells? Sir Bobby wrote in his book that Shepherd sold him behind his back against Sir Bobby and Speeds wishes and replaced him with Nicky Butt after Fred refused to pay £3m for Carrick. Lying c***. Eh? Where's the lie?

Will someone please email them the correct spelling of our club captain's name? Fucking idiots.

You'd think so, given that all the nondescript Asians on my FB were celebrating a 3-0 win.

Best referee in the league.

Some of the things said about MJ on here were disgraceful, frankly.

Given that it was paid for, yes.

It certainly meant something to me, I was there.

shearers debut. Charity Shield.

More or less, but I substitute cocoa butter for anti-aging eye balm.

Don't look old enough to have seen Speed play but fair play to them! They both look older than me and I barely missed a game Speed played for us from start to finish.

That's irrelevant. We have to create more than one good chance for him in 3 games if we're going to be successful.

But he didn't. With Best in the team he'd probably have been on the end of more than one good chance.

They've started up front together 3 times now and they've haven't shown any signs of developing a good partnership to me, and the lack of goals with them both in those roles speaks volumes. Nowt at Blackburn, nowt at City, and a lucky penalty at OT. If we're going to play Ben Arfa up there we need someone to turn lose balls into possession, and that isn't Ba, never will be. Conversely, you simply can't drop Ba because he's the only natural goalscorer we have, apart from arguably Best. Ba also needs someone to play higher up the park than him to thrive as a goalscorer. Keep perpetuating this 4-4-1-1 nonsense but it'll eventually cost us if we stick with it for too long. Square pegs don't fit in round holes.

I remember Bobby saying 'you couldn't meet a better person' in his book, like.

Corrupt.

I turned on TalkSport and heard 'the loss of Gary Speed' followed by a 2-minute tribute by Ewan Roberts. Was clinging onto the hope that he'd resigned from the Wales job till I decided just to pull over and check Sky News on my iPhone. Just about sunk into the steering wheel when I saw the top headline.

that almost broke the london hoodoo didnt it? they equalise in the last minute? That was the 2-2 in 98-99. Daft lad's on about the 1-1 from 01-02. it would have broken the hoodoo wouldn't it? Yes. We did it about a month or so later at Highbury. Speed played an absolute blinder that night too. Remember following the Highbury game via Teletext. What a game it was. I was there. Probably the best away game I'd ever been to until we travelled to Rotterdam a year later.

I think the last time I saw such a comical goal was Luque's in the 1-4.

On this day only I'll refrain from saying what I'd like to happen if Owen and Lawrenson ever shared a means of transport.

I'm going to cry like a baby when this sinks in. Still hasn't.
