PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[johnnytapia]

It seems Eccles we are "wrong uns" despite being match goers for a combined 130 years plus
You are right how times change.
Wrong uns indeed.

You can swap your United stories when you’re next together.

You’re out of order mate, back then it was commonplace to support one team but go to both. There wasn’t the animosity like there is now.

Bollocks.

Bollocks.

Like you I don't remember that at all, memories can play tricks on us but I do definitely remember what I remember.

Maybe some people did go to both grounds regularly but I don't know anyone who did and was a City supporter.

I don't know for certain but I certainly think most of those who returned home in 1945 had seen quite enough shit and violence to last them a lifetime. Equally, many might have enjoyed 90 minutes of screaming at a bag of leather - no matter who was kicking it - rather more than say, sitting at home, nursing memories. Also, because of their horrific shared experienceof war and loss, hostilities between rival fans simply couldn't have been the same.

I'm not for one minute taking away from your own lived experience. You saw what you saw and I believe you but...if my guess is right, it'd then be probable that some of that generation were still going to both grounds on alternate weekends during the 60s.

The thing us, the older generation can often be kind of invisible to youngsters. Equally, they probably had no interest in engaging with the generation that invented teen angst (not that that isn't a real thing but well, after what they'd seen in their formative years...).
Perhaps it's possible that they were all around you but - through no fault of your own other than your youth - they simply weren't on your radar?

My grandad fought against Rommel. And he (my grandad) fucking hated United.

This Exi stant is literally the biggest chancer on X. All for traction. He is a bullshitter 100%.
I messaged him to see if he kmew.a really close friend of mine who worked on M.E.N . He didnt reply. Captain bullshit.

Don't get it. Why would he know someone at M.E.N? He might be a chancer but your explanation doesn't add up

Well I definitely didn’t know you in those days! ;-) Of course it could just be that I am older than you. ;-)

Other than watching City the only other time I have been to the Swamp was in 1966 to watch a World Cup game, Bulgaria v fuck knows and it only cost me something like £1.50 to get in.

I still support City and Manchester United.

Wants moving to Off Topic

Yep I’m coming off it until something breaks Which may be tomorrow or Monday after the cup game but probably Friday or summat

 

[Winchester]

I hear this and think of you

I hear people talking non sense and think of u dear boy

 

[plattlanebenches]

Bollocks.

No it’s not bollocks. Up until mid/ late 60’s it was not unusual to go and watch both teams whilst supporting city. Same as united fans would go to Maine road.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Just had Canadian bacon on a bread.

Is that a euphemism?

 

[dronefromsector7G]

Just had Canadian bacon on a bread.

With a nice glass of crisp cold lager beer?

You know it.

On a bread what? You can't finish the sentence like that. It's not as if bread descriptions can prove divisive on here or anything.

It's called Labbatt 50 ;)
