Why would a Man U player be going to the Ballon d’Or presentation?

Weird some of the choices we were subjected to. In our second year we were offered the choice of Tech Drawing or Spanish which, even to a 12 year old, seemed a strange pairing. I went for Tech Drawing but, because I’d somehow managed to make it into the top 10 in French, was told emphatically...

Good that it works for you (and I’m sure others) just not sure you should have to pay £150 for the privilege. Hopefully when the capacity increases the club will retain the % of season ticket holders to capacity and allow those that want to take up a regular season ticket.

Thanks for the info. The club seem obsessed with no shows (14 is the average attendance for season ticket holders apparently). Looks like they’re working on the premise that if you’re paying a premium for the opportunity to purchase 3 weeks in advance you’ll definitely turn up. It’s not a great...

I thought Flexi Gold season card holders received a discount on their match tickets which would, over 19 matches, equate to the cost of a season ticket?

He’ll soon get a feel for how it’s gone down when he gets back home and checks his windows!

Can't see them all standing and clapping Khaldoon in ... that prick Lewis from Arsenal will probably flounce out again!

Yep, easy to see from that why some people are calling it a draw :)

Since retirement I spend far more time walking than driving. People seem to be unable, or unwilling, to put everything on hold and just concentrate on their driving. The number of drivers I see talking on their phones or, probably worse, looking downward presumably texting is staggering. We’ve...

I’m guessing we’re one of the other two!!

To be fair I have Harris’s alter ego Magic Twat to thank for finally making me see the futility of spending time blocking the idiots or, even worse, engaging with them.

Which is one of the reasons I ditched Twitter. The level of stupidity is only slightly lower than the level of hate and abuse people post. When you find yourself getting sucked into engaging with these morons it’s time to pack it in.

I don’t know, you youngsters … I went there in 1970. One of the Lancashire players used to coach the kids there, Peter Lever was our year and I think David Hughes did the year after. I think it’s a car park for Christie’s these days.

Met a few of the old timers through golf and they’re generally decent blokes. Dennis is an absolute gentleman, as was Tony Dunne and Sandy Busby. Paddy Roache was good company, David Herd was a bit away with the fairies to be honest but still ok. Couldn’t take to David Sadler and, you’ll never...

Sadly can’t complain about any of today’s bookings. Weak dive, bad foul and a cynical pull back from Stones. Could maybe argue he was slightly lenient towards some of Brentford’s tackles but generally I thought he was ok.

Ouch!!

Thought Oliver backed himself into a corner by booking De Bruyne for what was both his first offence and fairly innocuous. Once he’d set that benchmark he then ended up booking 5 players in a match with only 13 fouls and hardly a bad tackle in there.

Strangely, when we went to meet Zikos we were looking after a neighbours Westie. Dear old Ralphie was 15 and deaf as a post. When he died his owners got a rescue from Romania and they’ve had lots of issues with aggressive behaviour. Fair play to them, they’ve stuck with her (which I’m not sure I...

We looked at quite a few places, from South Wales to Staffordshire and of course Dogs Trust in Denton. The ones further afield made it impossible to visit regularly and build a relationship. Locally the dogs that were available seemed to fit into one or two breeds. Rightly or wrongly we got the...

We got our rescue dog from Greece 6 years ago, he was about 4 years old then, been on the streets and had no medical history which meant insurance quotes were out of our price bracket. Touch wood he’s been pretty much issue free but, like most people, I’m not sure how we’d cope financially with...
