@Gary James has posted on here before that, back in the mid-1990s, he was looking for a publisher for what was effectively a proposed City version of Fever Pitch, and received an offer conditional on him focusing the text on the hapless Blues forever flailing in the shadow of their mighty red neighbours. He refused but Shindler didn't, the resulting book being published a year or two later.

I believe that Shindler's book shifted well over 100,000 copies, making it comfortably the biggest selling City book (if you can class it as that) of the lot.

Interesting, I didn't know any of that.

At the time I felt it was a decent read, probably due to the lack of alternatives and being glad to read anything about City. However, with how things have played out over the last 20 years, I'm sure reading it now would seem very different. I imagine he'd come across as a right sad dickhead.

Marcus Rashford, Harry Styles, and more turned into Beano cartoons for 85th anniversary

United player illustrated as strong, pushing away little City.

Am I reading too much into it? Or another example of the bastards being out to get us?!

Where's that from as its been doctored. The only complaint with the real version is Fish Fingers is bigger than Phil. (And before someone jumps down my throat, I'm not complaining)

Edit: I can see its the Manc. Have they altered it ?

They didn't specify that when tickets went on sale or that there would be another match the following day featuring United v Real Madrid.
Many of the 600 billion fans less than impressed.

60 is the minimum requirement for a junior FOC, the likes of @oakiecokie are our senior FOC brethren having reached the grand old age of 70! (I’m in the middle btw, nearer 70 than 60 come my next birthday, fooking scary).

Jan 1st hammond and I`ll be at the grand old age (not) of 73. Fucking scary where the times gone mate. Still the old Guinness on a Friday night with the "domino boys" keeps me going. HIC !!

At least we’ve got there pal, I’m sick to death of getting the black tie out, seems to happen at least twice a year! Lost some really good friends over the past few years and two of my best pals are living with cancer, both Blues who are 64 and 55 but really live life to the best, they’re an absolute inspiration, been friends with the 64 year old since the age of 11, Mrs H in jest calls them my “gay mates” as I love them so much!

Thanks mate.
I think over the past few years I`ve simmered down a bit with some of my content on this Forum and I hardly ever get a warning nowadays. ;)
However that doesn`t stop me from having a go at some the rubbish I do read on here and yes we all have a right to a view ... but some are just way,way over the top.
I lead a very happy life thanks to a wonderful family and an even better wife of 48 years who`s a true gem.

Yep, that’s brilliant, think we all become a bit more calm as we get older, Mrs H has been with me for 40 years, unfortunately not blessed with children (long story) but we’ve had a great life, I’d only swap her for a box at City!!

38 years for me and Mrs B has blown hot and cold in our relationship over the years. The cold is out now coz the ice cubes play havoc with her dentures.
