    The film part that disturbed you for life...

    The Omen for me, when I first saw it - just how it played with my mind I have to say The Blair Witch Project freaked me out too - I saw it early and before any hype was around the film and genuinely believed it was a documentary shot that way........yeah, it blew my mind for a while!!

    Things You Never See Anymore

    I started a thread on here a while back about hitchhikers........they were rife in the 70's early 80's You'd see them everywhere and they were going........everywhere!! Where have they all gone??!! Another thing you don't see anymore is kids playing conkers Or kid's playing with muck bombs...

    Gary "Mani" Mounfield RIP

    It's got subtitles, but they are easy to ignore. I watched the DVD - but it's also on Amazon Prime (may have to buy it, but it's worth it) It's now another day since his passing - I genuinely cannot stop thinking about it

    Gary "Mani" Mounfield RIP

    R.I.P Mani As others have said, he was (is) a huge part of their youth - mine too. I was 19 in 1989 and when I bought the album, put it on and the first instrument you hear is Mani's bass.......I was hooked, smitten with this band. I watched the Made Of Stone documentary again tonight......a...

    International Games | 12th - 19th November '25

    Just wanted to add how good I thought the Scotland match was last night too!! I had a spell after Euro 96 where I was quite passionate about the England team - possibly because City never gave us much to cheer about!! - but over the last decade have become more and more bored watching England...

    Players from the past that you think would have thrived under Pep

    Gaz Baz played the Fernandinho / Rodri role before we even knew Fernandinho / Rodri played "that" role. I've got an Everton supporting mate who, when they signed Barry, sent me a text saying "cheers for giving us your cast offs".......after watching him play he sent me a text that read "Cheers...

    Songs that name drop football teams in their lyrics

    Not a team, but Subbuteo gets a mention in My Perfect Cousin by The Undertones. That cheating twat Kevin flicked to kick when Feargal wasn't ready (Not the exact lyric in the song!!)

    Strictly

    Aaaaah, yeah, I didn't think of that!! A competition like this hasn't had a winner like that - yet. I don't watch it regularly, I catch bits of it here and there, so I don't know who is still in or not. As for the new presenters - You're probably not a million miles away with your prediction

    Books & Reading Thread 2025

    I've now ordered "Get It On" by John Spurling A story of football in the 70's which has very good reviews And, if anyone is interested it's currently £2.00 from Waterstones website - should cost £20.00, so it's well worth a punt at that price!!

    Utd 1 City 6 OTD 23/10/2011

    I always say this - it really doesn't get the credit it deserves. We all (rightly) marvel over Silva's pass to Edin for the sixth, but that third goal is so slick, it's unreal. That result..........wow. And, fergie was right about the swing in goals To win the league, with the last kick of...

    Why are all the coolest/most popular Manc's bands created by City fans?

    Great to see people accepting Northside as "cool as fuck".......because they are!! But, Dermo is a rag Mike Pickering is a dude, M People aren't that bad (IMO) And if we're talking bands - The Shirehorses!! Mark Radcliffe and the Hapless Boy Lard, both Blues and have never made a secret of...

    "The Firm". Football hooliganism film starring Gary Oldman. (1989)

    It's a great film - much better than the remake. I'm very happy it's on iPlayer for a while

    Oasis reunion

    Nailed it regarding Coldplay When Coldplay arrived, Oasis were pretty much checking out leaving a void. People jumped on the Coldplay bandwagon but as you say, they didn;'t have the cultural impact Oasis had. Their light shows - fairplay, but it's almost a gimmick and if bands need gimmicks...
