I can forgive almost anything.
But to spell “Thanks” as “Thanx” ……. :shock: :shock: :shock:

A famous ex manager once said football is “more important than life or death”.
And he was joking – although it’s now quoted everywhere as though he meant it. He was joking to the Press.
Yes, it’s the ‘greed league’, much overhyped, and overrated. But we’re here. And here on our own merit. Long may it continue.
One banner in the Hull end I liked on Saturday.
“City for Life – not just for the Premiership”
My major complaint about Gomez is that he’s a bit light-weight – doesn’t go in for challenges – knocked off the ball easily.
Get some lobby down him over Summer and he’ll be fine. ;)
According to Wikipedia, what else beggars belief is that FC Nantes parted with a (rumoured) 3m Euros for him in 2006.And he’s 6’5 apparently. Looks about 5’9 tops to me.
Is this the worst case of a some ordinary bod charading as a pro footballer since Julius Aghahowa darkened our doorstep?
I read that as you saying he was 65 :lol:
Maybe explains a lot.
She’s probably had enough of the sexual harassment Dave’s been giving her.Don’t be surprised if the replacement is a hot Swedish model bought of the internet.
Sven was at the game yesterday :D
When you’ve been with your partner for more than 5 years, is it normal for them to want you dead most days, or is that just me ?I think it’s just you.
Others want us dead every day.
I was born & raised a United fan (I had a season ticket, so did my dad & so did his dad). In 1987 I went to watch a few Latics games & caught the bug
When my dad said he’d no longer pay the increased ST prices at Old Trafford I started to watch Latics full time instead.
I’ve followed Latics home & away for 20 years now in all 4 division & if you cut me open I’d bleed blue & white.
BUT
if Latics can’t win somet, my Man United upbringing makes me want them to win it instead. In games between the 2 sides I want Latics to winI don’t have more than one club, nor do I give my heart & soul to another club as you put it but some things aren’t that easy to shake off completely. To me its no different than someone saying they hate United & want em to win nowt – Latics have no rivalry with United so where does that come from?
I’ve told my tale before but I was born in Liverpool (well, Everton actually, but you can’t have everything), raised a Red, complete with Kop season ticket.
However in 1976 we moved out to Garswood, and I watched fewer and fewer games at Anfield until whole seasons went by without a game.
When my son started taking an interest in football I couldn’t take him on the Kop, so we went to watch our local team, Latics. We went more and more often, until they became 100% my team. A sort of reverse “glory-hunting” I suppose – going from supporting European Champions to a team at the bottom of the Fourth Division.
Latics’ universe and Liverpool’s were never supposed to cross of course, but as they did it was very very very clear to me that I felt nothing at all for Liverpol. The Liverpool I supported in the 60s and 70s were nothing like what now exists. And when in our first season in the Premiership I was interviewed by Sky Sports TV outside the Anfield Road End in blue and white colours, then the path was set.
So yes you can change allegiance. But to me the team I used to support has vanished off the Earth. I now support MY team, and will continue to do so whatever happens.
The only slight difference I have with TL is that I really don’t care at all whether Liverpool win anything or not, and frankly whether United or Chelsea win is nothing to me either. My season is complete that we have stayed up.
Just seen on front of paper too.
I’ll be a bit sorry about that. She at least was with the club all the way up the leagues, and knows what it means to the ordinary supporter to be where we are.
Bring in a new-style Chief Executive who will see us (the fans) as a commodity for a world-wide brand name, and I think we’ll be worse off.
I think we should be grateful to Brenda for all she’s done.
… and of course tomorrow is Star Wars Day.
May the fourth be with you.
I’ve already got me coat on…….
