Can't go wrong with that!!

Scoring a goal and saving a penalty in the same game is enough for me!

It's OK, he can replace Sterling with Milner now.

First paid job I had was as a summer job as a Kitchen Porter (pot washer!) on army training camps. At the time, I loved it: it paid £120 a week, and you were provided with full board and lodging at the army camp for free. Looking back, it was a bit shit, as it was a 6-day week, and each day was...

That's just plain weird... Wales, 10th best team in the world?? Did I miss something? Better than Spain, Uruguay, Chile, Italy, Ivory Coast?

A colleague of mine based in Munich says that the tabloids in Germany are blaming Greece for this. Greek crisis = weak Euro = cheap deals for teams in England!

Gas, although clearly all you real men are making me wonder if I'm right. After all, cooking something over a flame caused by burning hydrocarbons really varies a lot if the hydrocarbon chains are longer. And if anyone really believes it's like using a cooker, then please show me the cooker that...

From a bar on the overnight ferry from Harwich to Hamburg when I was 14. There seemed to be no age limit as far as I could tell, once we were far enough off-shore! In terms of pubs, it was at the Shady Oak in Hazel Grove when I was 16.

In fact, the co-commentator on the BBC coverage tonight commented specifically about the phenomenally high level of fitness of the City players.

Without stating the obvious that I'm a lucky guy to have a wonderful wife and two fabulous kids, for me, the greatest thing throughout my whole life is that I was born an optimist. It's the luckiest thing about my life, as I always see the best in people, expect the best, and enjoy most things...

Haha! Not my photo, but I can honestly say that the hailstones were really this size. It sounded like our house was being bombarded with rocks!

What on earth was going on yesterday.... Was over in Manchester for work, and it was 33.5C, muggy, hot, sweaty.... got home to Northumberland yesterday evening, it was 15.5C.... and then at 1am there was huge thunder storm, and we got battered by massive hailstones!

Such a shame. Bassett looked to be having a great game otherwise, but will only be remembered for a piece of awful luck. We really had them on the rack in the second half (not sure about the first half as I fell asleep before both goals, but then got woken up at half-time when 1" hail-stones...

I was born and grew up in Hazel Grove, so County were the first games I went to on my own. I'd been going to watch City with my Dad since I was 8, but when I was 14 or 15, me and a couple of mates (one Rag, one County fan) started getting the bus into Stockport occasionally to watch them on a...

Absolutely stupendous album. I somehow got it for free - can't remember exactly how, some breakfast cereal was giving vouchers I think, and if you collected enough, you could send off for an album. I chose it just because of the "Loaded" track which I just loved, but can honestly say it was the...

We have twin girls aged 7 now, so had double terrible twos! To be honest, one was much worse than the other, but they both had their moments (and still do from time to time)! You definitely need to avoid slapping your kids. At two years old, you - as an adult - should not need to resort to...

Indeed.. I was only 8, and it was the first time I cried about football! My first game that I had ever been to had been the earlier FA Cup tie against Norwich when we hammered them 6-0!

I lived in Norwich in the mid-90s, and they had some horrendous away shirts, but finally came up trumps with a simple green shirt that I came close to buying before I left...(but decided it would make me a traitor...)

Have an open-ended bet with a mate of mine on whether an Asian or an African country will win the WC first. I'm backing Asia (I think we must've made the bet after Sun Jihai had had one of his good games!)

The thing is though, it was often very entertaining to watch De Jong, and rarely entertaining to watch Barry, even he was fundamental quite often to an entertaining win. Don't get me wrong, I completely agree with the OP, but I think this explains why it is the way it is. If you watched Barry...
