I see that Shaunie is on ITV tonight in a programme called "Cooking with the Stars". A trashy programme, but it'll be interesting to see how he looks these days. I didn't know he was a would-be chef.

I'm going for Francis lee. None of the present squad qualify, although KDB when younger scored a few crackers. Yaya perhaps?

Th death the other day of the singer Jack Jones at 88 reminded me of one of his hits, "Wives and Lovers", which was written for him by the estimable team of Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Some of the lyrics are just a tad sexist..... "Hey, little girl, comb your hair, fix your make-up Soon he...

Not that I am a big tennis fan, but I thought Jack Draper did well in the US tournament recently. Then I read that he is an avid Manchester United fan. So I looked him up and found he was born in Sutton and was brought up and educated in the London area. Well, quelle surprise. How can he have...

Tommy Banks, a Bolton legend. A real hard man at left back. Beleved to be the oldest England footballer. (I wonder who is now?) Apparently turned down Busby. The swamp was too far from Farnworth. The salt of the earth. I wonder how many people on here saw him?

I don't know if this is the right thread, but I've just been looking at the Home forum on here, then history/players/ A-Z subsection, letter A, and I can find no mention of Julian Alvarez. Is this deliberate or just an oversight? Ric?

There is a strong probability that the the three teams who came up into the PL will go straight back down. Is this a pattern to be repeated? If, as seems likely, Leicester, Leeds & Ipswich come up, how will they fare? Somehow, I fancy that at least two of them will stay up, or even do moderately...

I have. If you ask me any date in 1947, I can tell you instantly on what day of the week it fell. (The trouble is, not many people ask me that) I can also recite from memory all 18 verses of "Albert and the Lion", where a little lad gets devoured by a creature in Blackpool zoo.

I have an unusual skill that is quite useless. If you give me any date in 1947 I can tell ypou instantly which day of the week it fell on. The trouble is, no one ever asks me a date in 1947. I can also recite from memoey all 18 verses of "Albert and the Lion". Should I get a life?

I mean at home, not down the pub. Something poncey, like wine or Pimms No !? I always have a good ale. This year I shall be having some Titanic Plum Porter. It complments the festive bird. And please don't say "That should go down well". I've heard the Titanic jokes.

Do they? I don't know, as I haven't seen all the CL games. But I'd like to know what Bluemooners think.

Over the last ten PL seasons, City have been top scorers for nine of those seasons. Now (although I admit there.s a long way to go) we are lying sixth in terms of goals scored. We used to be scoring goals for fun, but now it seems they are hard to come by. One goal in the last two away defeats...

Whatever forum I go on, it takes ages to move from one thread or post to another. If I want to click on a thread, it tkes the best part of a miute to wait for it to come up, then when I want to go on to the next page, or the previous one, It takes ages again to move on, It is not my laptop, as...

A couple of facts about City since World WarTwo are worthy of mote. Can anyone supply the answers? - City played the same opponents twice at Maine Rd in the same calendar year (two different seasons), the two games yielding an incredible 19 (nineteen) goals in total. Who were our opponents? -...

Some people come out with irritating words or phrases. I recently heard someone come out with the verb "to disincentivise". I think he meant "to discourage" or perhaps"dishearten" or even "put off".

I love seeing clips of old music-hall acts - not that they are all necessarily brilliant, but there's something that I like about them. Nostalgia perhaps.... Ny favoutite acr is Wilson, Keppel and Betty, a trio who performed throughout the 1930s to the 1960s. They did basically the same axct...

I've had a couple of PMs re my query about firesticks. I would like to acknowledge them or reply but it says "Plaese do not reply to this message -use Bluemoon Forum". How do I reply using the public forum? Just post an acknowledgment mentioning the posters by name? Seems a bit public for a...

I was just idly thinking of those who played for us and the rags. The first most notable chap was of course the great Billy Meredith. But of those since WW2, I came up with: D Law B Kidd J Gidman A Kanchelskis S McIlroy P Schmeichel P Beardsley (just one League Cup match for Utd) P Barnes W(yn)...

I am having trouble typing a double letter - so if I want to type "football" in a post it comes out as "fotbal" - I therefore have to go back and insert the missing letters laboriously. How can I restore the ability to type double letters?Is it a Windows 10 problem or what? Thanks

Every time I open Bluemoon, whichever forum it is, a large video ad pops up on the right and blockks half of the posts, making them inreadable, until I press the X button to delete it, which is a nuisance when I chnge threads and it pops up again. I understand the need for ads down the side, but...
