Alex Scott ... Might have been having elocution lessons!

They're clearly not workin'.

We had decades of being liked. Now we’re successful. You can’t have both.

My thoughts exactly. In the WWF/WWE wrestling (Hulk Hogan etc) they put the 'belts' on the wrestlers that can 'draw' money. Now to 'draw' money you need a lot of interest in whether the belt holder wins or loses, you need back stories contrived or otherwise, you need rivalries, contrived or otherwise. So, many people watch United to win but probably many, many more watch them in the hope they lose. The bottom line is United 'draw' money and therefore the media (all businesses) love them. I think we are getting there in that if you do not watch us out of love or admiration then many, many are now watching us to lose. We are a 'draw', I think. Embrace the hate!

Bit late to this …. But am I right in thinking Sam Lee was offering straighteners with blues on the way to the match yesterday ???

Hilarious

She’s pretty inoffensive but very bland and I can’t see the continued desire to shoehorn people into presenting and appearing on football shows purely because of their gender. It’s well meaning I’m sure

You are more tolerant than I am.
I find being spoken down to and told things as fact, when they clearly are not, very offensive. Perhaps I need to chill and allow dumbed down mediocrity to wash over me.

I love old style wrestling and wrestlers. Most of them, because of the lifestyle, 300 'fights' in 365 days in 300 different towns were absolute headcases and reading about them and their escapades is really funny. Nowadays, the wrestlers are relying too much on gymnastics and stunts rather than creating a persona that the crowd can buy into. Done well, wrestling is great theatre.

Sam Lee was on the train down today from Piccadilly

Anyone there will know the delays that happened

Anyway, a blue simply said to Lee you should be a bit more careful with what you write

Lee straight away called the blue a dick

Well it went downhill from there

Lee called another blue a bottler because he did not want a fight on the train.

Embarrassing by Lee

Ooooh.

Any footage? Plod might well be interested if he was offering people out. As might whoever regulates his “profession”.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Imagine offering someone a fight on a train, over football?

Well there’s someone we’ll never see or hear from again.

City's away support has been nothing short of phenomenal. Brilliant effort from them all in virtually every single match. Now if they could just set fire to our arses at home!

They seem to use F routinely when either T or TH is required. I've heard it a great deal when I phone call centres/ customer service places based in the South East/London/ Hertfordshire area. So wrong on every level.

The 80’s can show a lot to people. We aren’t in that era now. Imagine the footage available now of that incident between these two now going viral? Embarrassing for everyone, sometimes life changing.

 

[Blue Mist]

No doubt that will upset ... some City fans. ;)

Well I for one loved it. Our shirt numbers for a start.
