sooner that magazine goes out of business the better.

Gone awful, and like you regualrly bought it week in week out.

Remember when they were giving them away for free a few years ago

I remember in the late seventies and early eighties, they gave away a series of cassettes with recommended listening on them. Fantastic compilations and a great introduction to new music.

Ok, we get the GIST ;)

Ha, you really could not make this stuff up - imagine Pep being "angry" because our new signings were so good......lol

See my post about City's very recent pre-season tour to somehere in Europe (Foden, Stones, gundo etc), still not sure if it actually happened......................... Can't find a bean about it..

I bet Phil, Stones and Gundo are grateful that there is no media circus following the EDS tour.
If there was, I bet Stone, Jackson etc. would speculate on some incident allegedly have taken place.
Appreciate that the Red Top clubs get far more media attention. However, when you read some of the puerile articles attached to these clubs, do we, as City fans, want Pep and the players to be subject to such pathetic, sycophantic "stories".
I think the obsession with MUFC, CR37 and the GPS has made them all look a "laughing stock"...

I think I've got a copy of the last ever free edition somewhere.

Not a patch on what it was in the 80/90's

It was still quite good when I was buying it around the mid 00's.

yeah I used them to scour out new bands that I may not have noticed.

Shame really nothing out there to help.

Nevermind you could have watched manure u18's play a friendly on the red button last night.

No bias here mybfriend non whatsoever

What does this even mean?

Damn an A was missed out of the sentence and you couldn't understand the post.

Ok

One of the dart ladies had the audacity to beat A man, so there will have been tears from all the misogynistic guys who think woman shouldn't play male sports.

Was it really that hard to understand, Gazza?

Yes, as it was just a road crash end to a nonsense post.

Sorry, but that piece sounds like twaddle. The NME's readership (what's left of it) is far removed from Beyonce fans. There's barely any crossover. Link?

One of the top stories on their site currently is

"Kevin Hart gifts Chris Rock a goat named Will Smith live on stage"

Did the goat slap him?

No, Sergio was in Argentina at the time

'"And for ITV and BBC, landing Rooney would be a massive coup. He is one of England's greatest ever players and remains a massive fan of the national team."

It's always been clear that articulation, succinctness and general intelligence were never a basic requirement for ex-pro media work to fall into their laps.

If he starts drink driving or wife beating he could always continue his career with Talksport, the opportunities are endless.

They did that last year or the year before, live blog and TV coverage on rags youth v Linfield or someone.
Laughable but tbf I think it was led by BBC Belfast to appease their many native plastics, rather than Coppack’s mob at Media City
The fact Stone went on their tour is a shambles though and warrants further investigation
Wouldn’t surprise me if united actually paid for them, in a vain attempt to keep themselves relevant. The likes of Jamie Jackson and James Ducker were were in Australia, for example

I think you are right.
There are plenty of Norn Iron contributors on this site to correct me if I am wrong but I think there used to be a tournament in that part of the world called, The Milk Cup (or some such thing) and United have been supporting that pretty much since its inception which could well have been in the 60s.
It was a mutually beneficial arrangement of course. The tournament got publicity and found it easier to attract teams and United got to cast the first eye over the next Best, Whiteside or er, Gillespie.
Anyway, it's become something of a tradition that United are represented in Northern Ireland during the off-season and local TV always covers it.
If BBC NI are covering the game because of lical interest, it seems a perfectly reasonable use of public money (to me, anyway) to make the game more widely available on a minor platform.

No probs, off you jog.

Rooney's a better speaker now than people give him credit for. He galvanised the fans and players at Derby
