Who the fuck is Alice?

Do you mean:
Alice, Alice, who the fuck is Alice?
We should give her her own song.

Absolutely right and in the last part of last season and now this, it seems to me he is making more important saves

I agree, he has stepped up shot saving. Was brilliant in the CL final.
And that dink/chip into midfield is just superb.

I don’t know why this win felt so good compared to many others and despite the fact that City were clear favo(u)rites. I think the comments by that prick what’s his name talking about no City shirts in Manchester had something to do with it. First of all, who the fuck are you? And second, I can tell you where there are more City shirts than Utd shirts — in Old Trafford at about minute 82, woman.

Every Derby they wheel someone out to say so like that, it’s a sign of weakness and fear, they know they can’t do the talking on the pitch

Did anyone count the passes for our goal?

Sir Bobby will always be England's greatest. Shame Denis's health means he couldn't attend. As a kid I saw all those older legends in their prime. And what about Buzzer - he looks to be still capable of launching a football.

In the 60s/early 70s - our players and theirs used to socialise together after games. Treasure them.

There used to be an annual City v United golf match, and a few times a cricket match.

The cricket matches were at Lacashire's ground. They were good fun as City had some players who could play. They ended when rag fans invaded the pitch when the rag's bowlers were being tonked for boundaries ball after ball. Don't remember precisely but think Frannie was the main culprit. Lancashire wouldn't allow another game on their Old Trafford ground after the invasion.

Yes, Franny was decent and the Nevilles could play. I think Phil had an offer from Lancs to join their youth side.
There were a few players in the old days who played football and cricket professionally: Compton, Sidebottom, Neal, Balderstone, Andy Goram, and more. Memory tells me that Compton scored for Arsenal and played county cricket for Middlesex on the same day.
No longer, sadly.

Best Keeper in the world at this time, that was a huge save in the first half and his distribution transforms us as a team.
