    New football terminology is stupid

    My French teacher taught us to know the order in which pronouns are used by recalling the traditional 5-3-2 plus goalkeeper line-up, thus: me te se nous vous le la les lui leur y. (No room for "en" in this scheme as substitutes weren't invented yet in the 1960s. Guess "en"...

    Things you will NEVER lose interest in

    Two very good 'uns but have to add cats, steam trains, bacon butties and Holland's steak puddings (though they're not to be had over here.)

    How far did you walk to school ?

    Junior school was a five minute walk down the hill. Then came the 11 plus and getting into the grammar school a mile or so away. Walked that too every day but it meant going past the secondary modern most of the lads from the juniors had gone to and having to put up with their taunts about going...

    Things you have lost interest in over the years.

    Rugby League. Played and watched it as a kid. Now, apart from the fact that it's virtually unknown over here, the sport has changed too much for my liking. Used to be a winter sport, not any more, matches end up with scores like basketball and the players are super-fit international athletes who...

    Newcastle United (H) | FA Cup | Post Match Thread

    Watched it with an old Spurs mate in a bar showing City's game and his lot's loss to Fulham. City controlled things so well that Newcastle weren't able to offer much. But Haaland's getting fouled, grabbed, kicked every week now. He looks knackered & frustrated and as my Spurs mate said "right...

    FA Cup Games | Quarter-Finals | 16/17 Mar '24

    This is the Wolves side that's going to take points off l'pool at Anfield in the last game of the season with the title on the line?

    Does anyone else feel like this?

    Don't know this lass Sabrina but from a long time ago there was a song "When Sabrina is under the bridges with you/There'll be no room for the boats to get through."

    Liverpool (A) - Sun 10th Mar, 15:45 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

    If/when City win this I will be more confident - and in a curious way the two things feel connected - about Biden beating Trump in November.

    Liverpool (A) - Sun 10th Mar, 15:45 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

    Someone on this site once used the term "Mordor" (from Lord of the Rings) to describe Man U & the inhabitants of O.T. but it truly applies better to l'pool and their deluded cult followers at the wrong end of the East Lancs. So Smaug, Sauron and the rest will take the field on Sunday, backed by...

    Trouble in the North Stand second tier vs United

    Nice take on WSS, Ms, S., but by implication does this mean that it's ok for a loyal Sky Blue lad or lass to fall for one of the raggy lot over at O.T. ?

    Trouble in the North Stand second tier vs United

    Took my American missus then girlfriend to a City match at Chelsea in the '80s and went in the "posh" seats for safety, or so we thought. Right after kick-off City almost scored and I jumped up, as you do. Next minute a middle-aged Chelsea Neanderthal with a National Front tattoo lurched along...

    Not bloody scored yet? FFS. Title's gone. Wait - this is the match thread, right?

    United (H) | PL | Sun 3rd March, 15:30 | Pre-Match Thread

    Back from church. Bright sunny Sunday morning. Two well done bacon butties on thick white bread coming up, Daddies sauce, pot of tea. City to win 4-0.

    KDB to Haaland for the first. KDB to Haaland again for the second One of Eddie's long passes straight to Haaland for the third. That makes a nice roast. Phil Foden to add the gravy. Then play keep-ball in the second half.

    Chris Sutton on BBC predicts City 6-1. I'll have what he's having.

    United (H) | PL | Sun 3rd March, 15:30 | Pre-Match Thread

    They were lucky in the Cup final not to be four down inside 20 minutes. Dias put a header just past the post soon after Gundogan scored, then Haaland missed two chances. So City by 4 or 5 on Sunday. Confident of that. (mostly.)

    whole spelling is wrong and fewer letters will do.

    FA Cup QF Draw | Newcastle (H) | Sat 16 Mar 17:30

    Has to be l'pool at home. Only City will stop them winning the Cup and I don't want to see them at Wembley with the Scouse hordes jibbing in and booing the national anthem. Beat them at home and send them back down the East Lancs.
