While the blue half of Manchester is hardly my favourite aCDJ, I think your comment is a bit unfair on City. United were worse than woeful, and again, I think Fergie underestimated the opposition. City have much the stronger chance of going through, not that I'll be supporting them mind!

i retract nothing i watched the whole 90 and City were deservedly beaten .... and both gave very passable imitations of Chelsea!

in the interview I heard before the game fergie was saying how good Bilbao were........perhaps united were too respectful ?!Originally posted by Auferstehen2 View Post
or perhaps they need a couple of extra world class players these days. (unlike all those other teams that don't need a couple of extra world class players !!).I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

Thank you for your comments teamsaint, but I think you are being too kind. If only it were that easy. Make no mistake. Bilbao are a VERY good team, and they really did make United look second rate. I fear for our progress in the second leg, unless United, all of a sudden, remember who they are. I don't think there's any question that there will be a vast improvement in their game, but equally, Bilbao at home, with their supporters behind them? I can't see them losing by two goals.
Best wishes,

There isn't a blue half and a red half in Manchester. There's only one professional club in Manchester and they wear blue. The other team referred to is not a Manchester club. Trafford is not part of the city of Manchester, and never has been.Originally posted by Auferstehen2 View PostComment

I fly to Manchester on average twice a month to see my team play. Consistently, to get the "vibes" of the city, I ask about this. The cabbies always say to me, "This is an old one. Do Chelsea play at Chelsea, cos actually they're in Fulham?" This is, and always has been, a silly line EA.
No, Manchester United is not in Manchester, but it is in Greater Manchester.
Good enough for you?
Incidentally, even blue taxi drivers confess that while Old Trafford can be filled ten times for each game, Eastlands would be hard pushed to fill it twice. So there.

so, in an attempt to be all serious, what about these two club cities ? How intense are the rivalries, and how do the cities divideOriginally posted by Eine Alpensinfonie View Post
Rivalries between cities that are close by seem to be particularly intense, (and nasty). Saints/poopey is a vicious spiteful rivalry, and I get the impression that norwich/ipswich may be similar. Forest/derby certainly seems nasty.
How about the two club cities?
Bristol Rovers/city seems to be less antagonistic.The support, from what I can tell splits very roughly north and east for rovers, south and west for city. Also city seem to attract a slightly more affluent support. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Sheffield. How does the city divide? the rivalry seems very intense (of the "I would rather sit at hillsborough and watch the grass grow than watch Sheff utd type), but does it spill over into aggression?
Dundee . How does that work?
Forest/county seems fairly genteel compared to the Forest/Derby rivalry. Do county draw support from a particular area?
Oh and quiz question. Which is Britains smallest town with 3 Professional teams ?

He is going to be some player for sure, fantasy football indeed.Originally posted by scottycelt View PostThe boy Messi would certainly be handy to have on the bench at Firhill ... wonder if he'd be tempted to swap Barcelona for Glasgow ... ?
Incidentally my wife just said to me "I'm sick of you, all you ever talk about is football,football,football.I'm leaving you"
Then she said "I've met someone else.He's handsome, rich, younger than you,treats me like a queen and he loves me."
So I said "which team does he support?"Comment

Don't stand for any nonsense, Rob ...

Surpised how well you're taking that obvious goal that crossed the line by a couple of feet, Parry 1912.
