  4. Local Mancs

    Played five-a-side last night and watched Derby v Man Yoo in the bar afterwards. After the end of the game some bloke in a Man Yoo shirt came in from his five-a-side match and ask the score. '1-0 to Derby' I said. 'It's pathetic' he replied. To which I said, 'I know, especially when...

    Good Golly, It's Jolly From The Wally With The Brolly

    Home is where the points are. After two successive defeats on the road, Manchester City returned to form at The Eastlands, picking up a much needed 3-2 victory over FC Twente, but they were really made to work for it by Steve McClaren's new team. England, under the former Middlesbrough...

    Rangers Fans and embarrassment to Scottish football

    What a shame, one of the screen in Manchester city centre had a fault a turned off two minutes before kick off, and so the Rangers fans went mental. Attacking police and the like.

    Lee Trundle is overweight

    Lee Trundle is overweight, he has a double chin and if he entered the 100m sprint against a tortoise, an elderly shirehorse and a small brick, no-one could guarantee him a place on the podium. He has also just put Bristol City one game away from a place in the Premier League with a strike that...

  17. Tilson Out !!

    Glad to see a decent manager at the Hall - nothing like a close up on BOOT-it Boothroyd to show us how football should be played - BOOT-it and win the throw in and then scrap for the corner - class tactics from the man who shook the Prem-****e. And seriously when is Tilson going to learn how...
