Haha. I stopped watching when the rags were winning at half time and didn't check in on the game after. A brief glance this morning at the BBC news and apparently it's an "old trafford classic' and a ' throwback to utd's past' and a 'mesmerising classic '. I assumed the rags had grabbed a lucky...

I don't generally spend a lot of time checking out opposition players during games. But he really stood out with his skill and control. He definitely wouldn't be out of place in our team. I doubt whether Everton would want to sell.

We've had a lot of opportunities to score going begging in the last few games. A lot of hitting the post, or defenders getting a foot in. Would be nice to get a lucky deflection, a cutback going to a City player in the box for a change, or a free header actually hitting the back of the net. I'd...

Bedsits .. they were pretty common in the 70s. Fist mate of mine moved out of his family home to a bedsit in Clyde Road.. It was a bit of a shithole. There was loads of them in West Didsbury.

I'm enjoying Cherki

The current Slow horses isn't as good as previous series but is still better than a lot of in my view. I find it pretty funny in places (the paint tin and consequences made me laugh out loud). I like the main characters and their interactions, really enjoyable for me.

One of my favourite players. I think back to a great memory of us beating the rags 4-0, him playing really well and scoring (Marred by the terrible injury to Colin Bell, although obviously I didn't realise how bad that would be at the time). Just looked it up was an evening league cup game...

I had to move from my section of the East stand when it became some kind of premium seat with a bar attached. I had first choice in the new allocation of seats for the next season. I lost a few pals from the old Kippax days. Not good. Got a good seat at the front of the tier. Made some good new...

Nice one Savinho.. get your confidence up, lets see the best of you..

Disappointed as their goal was so late. I think we've been fine today and the last three games. We were always going to tire and require personnel changes after the effort put in recently. I would have taken this result at the start but wanted the three points into injury time. Three hard...

This is the kind of footy that the moaning old gits I know were asking for last season. I miss the control we used to have most of the time in the previous seasons. I'm kicking every ball and heading every header here at home now watching it. It will be amazing if we win. I dislike Arsenal for...

Here's a couple of pics I took down Victory street on matchday. The Osborne House was my pub of choice for a couple of pints of Hyde's before the game.

Anything posted on Twitter / x or any social media immediately has negative / insulting comments posted underneath. And they're so extreme. You can predict it. I don't know why any football team, player, celebrity or politician bothers. I guess they don't look at the replies. The more extreme...

He played really well in the last part of the season to be fair.

Reijnders is class. This is what happens when we use the space created by them having to attack and leave spaces at the back. Last year we were really ponderous coming out of defense and letting them settle into shape.
