We've not forgiven the French though, have we. That was 945 years ago. Or more recently, the Germans, and they weren't even in charge. Have the Irish forgiven us now? I doubt it. The Indians took it on the chin though, very good sports. Those Zulus had to be taught a thing or two, and the...

So... top at 5pm then.

I don't trust any username that rhymes with a failed girl band.

Difficult to tell, but Jeff always had a mophead as I recall. I did spend the first half of the article thinking I was reading about Jim. So you're probably right.

Nah, I'm only able to debunk the wilder theories. Unfortunately the wild theories are usually the funniest and I don't like being a killjoy, I just am one. Probably best I stay away

My first away game was probably the infamous "Giggs builds entire career scoring record from an own goal" derby at the swamp - I was in the Family Stand with my dad, right next to the blues.... we looked like a right rowdy rabble and the rags in the seats above the paddock seemed quite well...

I think Whitley was probably the last new City player to be older than me. Ever since him, they've just been getting younger and younger.

Train to Picc then walk or bus to EA. EDIT: sorry, it looks shit, I'm calling it CoMS. COMS! If you must drive, take a detour south round the M60 and head in via Kingsway/Longsight/Kirkmanshulme Lane or via Hyde Road. I certainly wouldn't use the bus from Urmston. It'll be pretty much gridlock...

Shit, I had no idea. Back in ten once I've found my camera.

True, but it all has a "knock on" effect (ithangyow) and Regent Road very quickly snares up to the M60/M62 junction at busy times. Plus, we're here every other week, and that was a national sporting cup final, not just a football match. There's a good reason why they've picked a day when 40K...

To be fair to the Glaswegians, the kids from towns surrounding Greater Manchester didn't treat the city centre with any more respect this summer. And they weren't out drinking all day beforehand nor justifiably rather pissed off by the manner of which Rangers' defeat was hidden from their view...

Turbo shandy?

Take your pick really, but driving clockwise around the city centre (preferably around the M60) and coming in from the east (or the north-east) should avoid most of the chaos, which will be heavily concentrated on the city centre and the south side of the ring road in particular. You can't drive...

I could. Going to the swamp is worse. Bloody hell, they're gonna let you STAND with a load of City fans to watch the derby for a fiver with (presumably) booze and food on offer for less than the nearest pubs, and you complain about it? Are you some kind of loner/saddo? OK so it's only "on...

They're the only ones who can afford to have a place big enough to house away fans. And probably the only ones the locals aren't daft enough to go in before match day.

So beautiful, that we spent many centuries stealing it for ourselves. I think a little bit of xenophobia is warranted, don't you? At least they're not bombing us. All we can throw at them is Buckfast. And again, it's the English throwing it at them that's part of the problem.

I would - always fancied a kilt. I think it's the big boots and socks and hairy legs on show that entices me. I did own a grey one from Top Man some months after the David Beckham thing in about 1998. It's arguably better than looking back through your family history to find the Scot and then...

It's not a good example of gazumping at all.

Short passes all waste a bit of time and allow other players to move into position around the pitch. It's necessary for our tactics. Hence why we tend to struggle when put under a lot of high pressure, but you can't normally keep that up for 90 minutes, hence why we keep winning.

His knee's bent, it's one leg, there's virtually no chance of serious injury with that tackle, and as it is, he just rakes Alonso's shin. It'll hurt, especially with studs showing, and it's fucking stupid, and it's a red card, but compared to Martin Taylor's "tackle" on Eduardo, it's nowt...
