I would expect that was true. About 25 years ago our postcode area up here was enlarged. We live in a respectable village out in the sticks but the postcode number changed to the same as a rather 'rough' estate 5 miles away. That year our House Insurance premium almost doubled. When I rang the...

Shearer on MOTD : Trent this, Trent that, etc etc. Such an overrated full back who can't defend to save his life, had a shit game and yet constantly referred to by his first name. Why does he get regularly seem to get this privilege ? Why not call him by his surname like everyone else ?

As I recall it was a frequent event when the attendance was announced. It was certainly a regular topic of conversation in the pub after the match.

That was a classic fiddle. We wouldn't have fitted another 800 in Maine Road that day, let alone 8,000. It was like sardines in the Kippax.

If ever there was a fact which confirms that FFP is a nonsense, then this is it. It doesn't really protect anyone but the jealous few who came up with the idea of safeguarding their own interests.

Yep, as I said, bent as a nine bob note.

Agreed. Feckin annoying isn't it ? Seems to be happening more and more nowadays.

To anyone who thinks we believe City are victims of a witch hunt by UEFA and now the PL, I would ask one question. How come our debt free and profitable football club is again being charged for irregularities whilst another PL Club close by which is almost £1 billion in debt doesn't get a second...

Yeah, bit of a daft remark wasn't it ? I've lost count of the number of 'turn up & win' games that I've seen City lose over the years. No way will Pep be anything but completely prepared for this. Whether or not he has a team selection brain fart is of course another matter.

I really hope you get into the CL. Not least because it will no doubt mean you will have taken points off both Arse and rags in the process. :-)

Not too much of a downside really, as they'll probably spend the minimum they can get away with. All those failed shopping malls won't pay for themselves. It'll still be a shithole - you can bet on that.

There must be many of us who have suspected all long that this is a charade by the Glazers in order to meet their own ends. I would be amazed if they sell the club, and let's all hope they don't. :-)

Ha ha. Trouble with that suggestion is at Wembley beer prices it would be £500 to get in !

Just waiting for Bingo to make his usual stupid statement. Something along the lines of "we want as many people as possible to go to Manchester that day anyway, with or without a ticket. It's only a short journey down the East Lancs and the city is big enough to fit all of them in" etc etc.

I was lucky enough to see Bobby & Beaky play together for City, but too young then to have seen Roy Paul. Bobby in a City Shirt was one of my earliest football memories and he was exceptional. I also saw him play for Oldham several times at the end of his career in the 4th Division. He didnt...

You are not alone. We have more than one weak bladder on our regular match bus. We used to get as far as Bolton Services but those days are gone. We only just make it to Forton nowadays. Its worse when we have a 1730 kick off - more time in the pub pre-journey !

It's the usual case of not giving a shit about match going fans. Here we are 3 days after the SF's were decided and still no confirmation of KO times. Literally tens of thousands of people still unable to make travel plans and when they do those travelling by train will find it expensive as well...

Plus Barry Stobart.

Now that Adebayor has announced his retirement, surely it's time for a replay of THAT goal at the Etihad ? :-)

We will. RM/Chelsea were drawn first.
