  1. Amazing how many pundits fell for this, it wasn't just Phil "The stupider Neville brother " Yeah, they knock it around quite well. They take the game to the opposition. In the first half dozen games of the season maybe. Since then, not so much ..
  2. https://sport.bt.com/football/brothers-in-football-the-story-o... Just watched this documentary on BT about Corinthian Casuals and their part in the formation of the Brazilian giants Corinthians. Can't recommend it enough, lovely heartwarming stuff.

    Spot on Elfster. The game is nothing without partisan fans. Dull as ditchwater.

  7. There we gan. Clear pen and he gives a goal kick.
  8. Ref only lives 6 miles from Old Trafford. nee way? Gods honest truth. Outrageous that Taylor is allowed to ref our games in Manchester. He's gonna give them something important to let them back in the game, isn't he?

  10. I was told this a long time ago. A game of cards for forfeits, Ashley had the choice of us or Derby. If this was true and he just bought us on a whim, then why didn't he sell when the Mansours were interested?
  11. Is the truth. Imagine if the Mansours had bought us and we'd had all that success in the last few years. Don't think you'd see all those empty seats in a champions league game at St James's. Spare seats galore against Feyenoord, Kiev and Leverkusen last time out. So you didn't read the second sentence of my post then? I think he was backing up your point. ..really? Certainly didn't read that way to me. Fair enough if so. I was at all of those games by the way, and at that point we were just making up the numbers, the odd great result notwithstanding, a lot of those games were (paradoxically given our present situation) somewhat boring. Imagine being in city's position- the best results and the best football you've ever seen from your team. And still you don't sell all your tickets.

  14. That's one of the best posts I've ever seen on here. I was around in the 80s and although McKeag and co were dinosaurs, they all wanted success for the club ; Ashley couldn't give two fucks whether we're top or bottom, as long as SD is getting it's advertising exposure.

    I wonder if its the same knacker that does all these arse licking " in peace" posts or is it a makem cottage industry?
  16. Can't believe no one has looked into this before - our throw ins are a good example, they've been a disgrace for years, constantly surrendering possession even though we usually take the safe "slow it down and throw it backwards into our own half" option.
  17. Idiot reporter on Sky has just claimed that "Premier League quality" had just won the game for our u23s. Sterry is the only one I can think of who's played in the top flight.
  18. Which *IS* the worst decision of all time. Everything else is a matter of opinion, a horrendous error or a genuine mistake. Ours was a referee who either didn't know the rules or bent refereeing, couldn't have been anything else. How more of a song and dance wasn't made about it was astonishing. Watch that Partick Thistle one. I reckon we have a new winner tbh. Naa, that's a horrendous error. Disgraceful refereeing mind you, and the linesman should have had a good enough view to overrule. But ours was sheer pig-headed fuckery - when a referee is shown the rule on an I pad and STILL thinks he's right, then he's either bent or not fit to referee.
