So this is my last post. 55 years after my first match seeing City. 10 years a season ticket holder 1985 to 1995 until work and family took me too far away. I was there in 2012 and was there for that Tuart goal. Been to many but not all recent cup finals. I have been vocal about VAR, CAS and...

The reformed Porcupine Tree are playing Sounds of The City at Castlefield Bowl 29th June. They are just coming off their world tour. Probably most influential prog band of last 30 years and current tour is brilliant...

The greatest Punk album of all time. The best Floyd album of all time? (I think so) A lifetime of loving this album and a lifetime of hating the mix. At long last a 2018 remix release is due. A version of Dogs has been posted. Wow. What a revelation.... Many a prog album were badly produced at...

Ok. I have either dreamt this or it has been erased from history. I have a recollection of a Wembley cup final which had to be halted due to soldiers spurs having come off in the pre match festivities. I wanted to know so I could include it in a pub quiz " in which year did spurs appear in a cup...

Seen some speculation on this. Obviously our losses last year were sizable. Not sure how this will be met in future years but we had been pretty stable over several years previously. Assuming we can meet the deficit through revenue streams, what is our realistic kitty this year?? In pure...

A bit like going back out with an ex that cheated on you. Confused, feeling sick but hoping there is a future despite everything.

Not talking novelty acts like Mr Blobby. Talking about groups that based their career on piss takes. Just a few suggestions: Frank Zappa Ninja Sex Party The Darkness Groupo Sportivo Deaf School Old school stuff like the Baron Night's

Liverpool and United have brought in several loan players and free transfer players in recent seasons. In a chat with a fellow Blue we struggled to think of the last time we brought a main player in on a loan. Think Lampard and Patrick Viera were frees? Any others? And if so who has been the...

As much as we have continued to have penalty issues my frustration is as much, if not more so, when we run through 1 on 1 with just the GK to beat. Jesus and KDB have both been profligate in recent games. Sterling always cocks up. I never believe we are going to score. Struggling to remember...

Possibly the greatest musical experience was seeing Roger Waters doing Comfortably Numb at the MEN a few years ago. Most of those around me, myself included were crying and extatic. The closest thing to a religious experience I have ever had. But was it the best version ever. My view is the live...

A question. My 3 mother in law's and my own mother all had exactly the same recipe for boxing day Turkey Curry. It included coconut and pineapple. It seems like someone in the early seventies must have done this on Telly and half the nation have done it ever since. Was it Fanny or the...

2 games. 1 substitute. Having called for 5 to be allowed. What is going on? Is Pep trying to establish a settled side, giving the time on the pitch to consolidate after a very disrupted year? Is there an attempt to reduce players exposure to injury? (Seems unlikely) Is he sending out messages...

Refers to others musical tastes as shite as opposed to 'each to their own' Tends to like the following: The Smiths The Clash Americana (Country to the rest of us) later day Springsteen Elvis Codstello Velvet Underground Tends to deride: Prog Metal Classic Rock

Sometimes, like wives, best mates just don't work out. Sometimes it's something they did or sometimes it's something you did. I knew a bloke for 15 years. Moved into a flat next door. Was 13 years younger but we hit it off. Went out on the town together etc. I was even best man at his wedding...

Taylor Swift drops a secret album this morning and blows the bloody doors off! Not a fan but I need a lie down. This is another Listen Without Prejudice (George Michael) moment for me. An artist I have scant regard for produces something exceptional. I was just thinking it sounds like a Suzzane...

We are out of the FA cup. Only up side is 1 less game to play. But the EC will be gruelling and, given our draw, very difficult to win. It will take us up to the start of next season with little rest. UEFA will do all they can to stuff us anyway. It will also always have an asterisk - especially...

Approaching retirement. Never had a dog. Never really liked dogs. Wife is the same. Recently warmed to the idea. I like labs and setters, mrs. HOTM likes a bolognese (something like that) Requirements: -Doen't shed hair - Doesn't yap - hardly shits Any suggestions welcome.

Is it worth it? The car and spec I want is only available as Category N car. Price is obviously decent. Would have it checked over by AA etc but what else should i consider if going down this path? Insurance?

The antics of this bunch deserve a new thread of their own perhaps. On a day when Butt gets nicked for alleged Domestic Violence and Scholes gets charged with betting fraud. Previously we have Giggs the family man activities and Beckham trying to buy a Knighthood. That leaves Phil Neviles'...
