Oh heckle meckle, I'd want to see our lads but not give money to that lot. I will petition against them getting any money from tax payers. There was me thinking my demonstrating days were long gone!! Mind you I'd only sign the petition probably not demonstrate.

I reckon back in the day you were outside Maine Road shouting "What do we want? Swales Out! When do we want it? Now!"

;-)

 

[Indaparkside]

Take me home
To Maine road
To the place
Us old cunts belong
Seeing sumerbee bell and lee
It will always be home to me

As many have said we are at Wembley a hell of a lot these days and it's only a just over a couple of months since we were last there. Our abject performance that day and the fact we normally go in half baked in the charity shield and lose had many thinking it wasn't worth the time and expense. Luckily our recent success means we now sell out for such games as the tourists take up the slack.

When we weren't very good a trip to Wembley was just a dream we were never going to live. That's why even a third tier play off final we took 46,000 and could have doubled it if allowed. That was old school Blues back then as well, no tourists.

Saturday was the future and it's what the club appear to want. Maybe if the tourists become regulars their passion may increase, who knows?

Half the fuckers near us weren’t supporting City one shit stain was crying when we won the penalty shoot out, so I’m extremely doubtful they’re the future of our club.:-(

In Cornwall at present caught the last 20 mins and pens, and it struck me the many thousands of tourists in our end. Seemed to be a real apathy for this game, celebrations very muted when we won the shootout. It said it all about the interest in this game when only 2 members of our supporters branch out of 130 wanted a ticket

Without those tourists we would have had thousands of empty seats so better than that!

Aren't the three promoted teams always the favourites to go down? Rarely happens though.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Just seen this. Good pic. Maybe you should put the lad on every post-match thread (when City win)?
It'd take the place of the famous "God wills it!" that was popular a while ago.

I’ll see what I can do, though, the photography will all be on this missus and he can be a wee bashful lad when the camera is pointed in his direction.

Whe we put that rumoured bid in...was that...yet another pogba/ronaldo baited hook?

 

[Franny 1234]

I sing a slightly different version

Fuck off home United scum
To the place you belong
Kent and Sussex
Surry, London
United scum fuck off home

Am liking that version Ed

A Night At The Opera is my absolute favourite album.

And while I think side two of A Day At The Races is the best of all, it’s let down by side one, Tie Your Mother Down, excepted.

I would agree about A Day at the Races side two. Mind you, Queen's best side two came on News of the World imo; except for the awful Get Down Make Love. The four after were some of their best work ever. Again, imo of course.

I think Get Down Make Love is great.

In fact, I think the whole album is great, especially Sheer Heart Attack, though I’m not a big fan of Spread Your Wings.

Seem to remember we had a version of Country Road when they nicked it mocking them, it is a Fulham song not a United one, something like this:

Country road take them home to the places they belong back to Essex Kent and Surrey, Country road take them home,
There from Ireland Wales and Scotland, Norway Denmark and Sweden too, there not Mancs there all liars Country road take them home.

Dunno about that, only Country Road me knows was sang by a lad from Macclesfield

 

[lasereyes]

The best version of Country Rd I heard was Swinton Rugby at Wigan.
Take me home to Station Rd.
A lament to a much loved lost ground which could be sung by City. Stoke, Wigan Rugby , West Ham and many more.

It's highly appropriate that their song is about the furthest thing from Manchester you can imagine. West Virginia, Shenandoah River. Bunch of fucking weirdos

 

[BongoBlue]

Best song in that album is the great "It's Late" with its changes of mood and tempo. Superb.

Is that why he moved to Monaco?

Apparently he no longer wears his rolex when strolling round his gated community or visiting a Michelin rated restaurant. It's really tough having barrow loads of money.

It's a tough life. If only there was more policing, maybe he should think about paying his taxes?

 

[Bowyers Sausages]

He did.

Good job too! I missed that. ITV seemed to focus on Bernardo's nudge.
