The game is off

Fooking gutted. Sitting in legends with 60 international visitors. Wtf are we supposed to do? Play subbuteo?

i know we're not in the cellar now but can only suggest that you finish your meal, chat to the legends until your guests get bored then find a lap dancing bar.

I drove back from the Lakes earlier and the car was literally bouncing around the motorway, extremely scary,

It would help if you didn't get insist on one of these as a company car.

lol.

To be fair mate, I've got a new company car that is quite a heavy motor and I was quite surprised how it was getting blown about. Passing little hairdryer cars wasn't much fun.

I do! I was there that day, my mate had travelled up from London to watch it. Didn't the ball stop dead in a puddle and Vonk nip in to score with his feet for probably first and last time in his career?

Me too. It was a big fucking puddle. Think we were one up and he called it just before half time.

t 2-0

Was it no 2-0 with Vonky playing upfront? If I remember rightly the rematch was Franny Lees first game as chairman and probably the best trick I have seen at Maine Road performed by Rocky Rocastle.

Yes that's right, that Rocastle trick set up a goal for that ex-shrewbury player (Griffiths or something?)

I take it the rags are on? Fancy them to soften up The gooners tonight!

It would probably have been better for Sunderland fans to travel back after ten when it was meant to calm down a bit.

I avoided a guaranteed soaking at least. It was more dangerous for the Fulham 17.15 game when it snowed.

Jamie Jackson at The Guardian......





A tweet from GMP said: "GAME OFF - Manchester City's V Sunderland has been called off because conditions are deemed 'unsafe'".

The high wind was the main concern, with the strength of gales making walking difficult.

The police had earlier warned that people should not travel into the city if they could avoid doing so. In two tweets, GMP said: "SEVERE WEATHER WARNING - Do not come into the City Centre unless it's absolutely essential due to strong winds. Batten down the hatches Manchester. RED weather warning issued."

Before the intervention of the police, the match referee, Lee Probert, had met with the game's safety officer to discuss the conditions.

Correct decision, and much better for City.

Didn't fancy us in these conditions, suited Sunderland more.

Got a nice little game in hand on the others to put some pressure on.
