I genuinely thought he was dead!

I’ve watched the first 5 episodes now and really enjoyed it. But one thing strikes me - I’m glad I’ve got the subtitles on because I can barely understand a word Pep says, especially when he’s doing his intense half time talk, speaking really quickly. I’m thinking to myself, surely some of these...

Yeah - it’s usually just the knuckle draggers with fragile egos who need to prove how hard they are. It’s a bit pathetic really. Obviously the guy’s a fool for thinking he could celebrate in the home end but I doubt it warranted getting battered. Reminds me of the Liverpool match earlier in the...

Good point. My main objection is that, while I do find the pat downs etc over the top - if you’re going to have these kind of security checks then you need to make sure you have the right processes and sufficient staffing in place to manage the number of people in a reasonable time. But if...

Is it me or are the queues at the M1 turnstiles (for South Stand top tier) getting worse? It’s always been bad here as the huge number of fans on the top tier have to be funnelled through a handful of turnstiles but it seems to have got even worse recently. Partly I think this is down to over...

Keep up - it’s the Strictly final mate. Gotta make sure we’re back in time to see Ellie’s pasodoble!

Agree. I mean it’s a nice gesture and everything but it just looks a bit….well, shit really. It should have the club badge or city of Manchester crest, instead we get this “wacky” font that looks dead tacky. It looks like something from my kid’s Beano comic

I think you're referring to his Guardian colleague (and boyhod pal) Simon Hattenstone.

Do Platt and Kiddo (or any of the other coaches for that matter) get a medal? To be honest I'd much rather see these two with a medal than someone like Hargreaves (no offence to him) or some of the other fringe players. Their reaction on Sunday was brilliant, clearly it means the world to them...

Those who have argued that Labour have bankrupted the country seem to have conveniently forgotten that prior to the recession the Tories were committed to matching Labour's spending plans. Anyone that thinks that the economy wouldn't have suffered under a Conservative government is living in a...

There's so much i'll informed drivel about the 'cushy' public sector on this thread that i barely no where to begin. "Gold plated" pensions for instance. Did you know the average pension for civil servants outside of the top whitehall positions is £4,200. Book me a retirement villa in the...

That's the Garricks head in Flixton. What an absolute toilet. These two look pretty typical of the knuckle draggers you get in there.

What's tragic is that you feel the need to hurl insults at people who are rightly worried about the prospect of losing their jobs or having their pay cut.

Christ no! I'm at a wedding on the day of the Saturday semi final. The only way i'll get to go is if we get the Sunday slot on account of us still being in the europa league.

Just thought i'd revive this thread and encourage anyone who can to make the effort to get to the protest on the 26th. I'll be there with hopefully a large contingent of PCS members. It's so important that this march is well attended and that we show this Con-Dem government that we wont stand...
