Just a bit of fun for the pre-derby nerves.....

An iconic Manchester pub, knocked down accidentally in the 80s.

The word was it wasnt 'accidently'. The brewery (Whitbreads?) wanted it down but the council had it as a listed building so were against it or something. So it was knocked down during the night 'accidentally'.
p.s. used to drink in Tommys before it became famous for knickers, in the fact that it was a favourite watering hole for all the acts who appeared at the Palace theatre and the like. Many photos adorned the walls of the acts who drank there. Bit like the Press club now i suppose.

Pretty sure Tommy Ducks was a Greenall Whitley pub

In Fifa 10 and Fifa 11, when Tevez gets the ball, the announcers always say "Tevez, with that bulldog-like approach..."

I like Ham & Pineapple

I only just realised that. I always thought it was because Hamman has a pineapple shaped head

My birth was the reason my City supporting family missed our biggest ever victory.

Amazing how you can watch something from over 20 years ago and it all comes flooding back.

Truly awful beer though. Absolutely shocking.
