Can I recommend that you change your profile so that you call the south stand the platt lane stand.

No you cant pauldominic. I'm refering to where I used to sit in the cheap seats of the North Stand and where I sit/ stand now, in the cheap seats of the South Stand. I do know the names and positions of the stands at both Maine Road RIP and The Etihad. I also know where Preston is. Do they have a team?

LOL, nice one

The controversy about the "ghoulish" portrayal of the decline of Surly Alex Ferguscum has now involved the Prime Minister.

David Cameron has said he wishes the film had been made "another day".

The prime minister said the portrayal of the manager by Meryl Streep was "a fantastic piece of acting", but questioned the timing of the film.

He told the BBC it was "more about ageing and elements of dementia rather than about an amazing manager".

Former Conservative minister Lord Hurd has called the film "ghoulish", but its director has defended her work.

The film is set in the present - when the bacon-faced old cheat is portrayed as mentally and physically frail - but contains flashbacks to is heyday.

'Staggering acting'

Asked about it on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Cameron said: "It's a fantastic piece of acting by Meryl Streep, but you can't help wondering, why do we have to have this film right now.

"It is a film much more about ageing and elements of dementia rather than about an amazing manager.

"My sense was a great piece of acting, a staggering piece of acting, but a film I wish they could have made another day."

Great read. Thanks OP. Like people've said; He might be a twat, but he definitely isn't blind.

Still, I don't know if it's just me, but the 1st page of this forum has way too many "Fergie this" and "Rags that" in the thread titles.

I'm clearly a bit wet behind the ears when it comes to football forums, but I have to say; T'is a bit weird.

I, for one, hear enough about the bast**ds in the mainstream media without coming on here and having to avoid all this red attention. I guess it's unavoidable with them being a title rivals and derby rivals too. Still, it's quite annoying, now that we're good enough for 'Man U at Home' not to be our biggest game of the season.

Ferguson: City are not going away

Sir Alex Ferguson has warned Manchester United's fans they will have to get used to scrapping for honours with their "noisy neighbours".

Ferguson famously used that description to assess Manchester City two years ago, at the start of their £1billion quest to reach the top.

The summit is now in reach, certainly in England given City are three points clear of United in the Premier League and are favourites to advance from an eagerly-anticipated FA Cup third round tie at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

It is the third time the two clubs have met in cup combat in the past three seasons.

United emerged triumphant in a thrilling two-legged Carling Cup semi-final in 2010, only for City to gain revenge at the same stage of the FA Cup last season.

"The way we, and our supporters, should look at it is that we may as well get used to it because they are not going to go away," the United boss told Inside United.

"We played them in a semi-final last year and the year before, we're both in the Europa League this year and now we are facing them in the FA Cup.

"So we have to get used to the fact that City are going to be challenging for competitions along with us.

"There's every chance we're going to meet at some point - maybe not every year but on average it's going to be pretty regular.

"It's a hard FA Cup draw for us, but it will be hard for them too."

United will be attempting to avoid equalling an unwanted 11-year-old record.

Not since the end of the 2000-01 campaign, when the Premier League had already been won, have Manchester United lost three successive games.

Yet that is the fate that awaits at City if Ferguson cannot cajole a better performance out of his injury-hit team than they produced at Newcastle on Wednesday.

"It is obviously a big game against City in the FA Cup," said Ryan Giggs.

"The atmosphere will be good, we'll take a load of fans there and hopefully we can get back to winning ways." Ferguson's continued insistence he does not require at least one addition to his squad during this month's transfer window is baffling considering how tough United are finding things at present.

And victory this weekend against opponents who recorded a scarcely believable 6-1 win at Old Trafford on their last meeting and have now opened up a three-point lead in the Premier League following their dismantling of Liverpool on Tuesday, will be extremely tough.

Sorry if already covered.

I can almost hear his monotonous, stupid voice saying that in my head.

Well maybe it's just because I'm saying something you don't like, or maybe rags do say this, and if they do, then for once they're right about something.

I'm a blue. Have been for 17 of my 25 years. I can't stand United, and not just on-pitch. I hate everything the club, their fans and that twat of a manager stands for. But if Rags complain that all we talk about is them, then they have a point.

My and my best mate are regularly telling off our other blue-friends for harping on about Utd all the time. United this. United that. Who gives a flying one!? Manchester City is what it's about.

If, by saying that, I'm sounding like a rag, then let it be so :p

forget fergie, forget the press. lets just get our heads down, keep quiet and concentrate on winning every match we play in.

Exactly
