Woooaah!!!
We're killing Swansea 2-0!
All we need to do is beat Sunderland 17-0 at their place and we're champions again!
Proof that you can't buy a premiership title!
Hard luck City!

(If united can knock off another 8 goals, beefy, they would only have to win by 7 or so at Sunderland !)I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

Having spent the weekend in a hotel at Worsley, Salford, I was somewhat surprised to bump into the entire West Brom team, walking into the same hotel. Almost as soon as I thought "the new England manager must be here", he passed me, looking extremely cheerful and relaxed. Soon afterwards, he was being mobbed for autographs. He dealt with this is a most friendly and courteous manner.

Let's hear what Kenny has to say about the 100's of Liverpool fans booing the National Anthem.
Liverpool and Celtic fans have been copying each other and singing the same songs for half a century now, but this is one loutish practice football in England can well do without, imo.
Sadly, as all football clubs well know, it is well-nigh impossible to stop this sort of ill-mannered, disrespectful behaviour by some (mostly drunken) fans.

I want to respond to Scotty's post in detail .....but better kept for a more political thread , I think .
Suffice to say, I have noticed at a couple of big games that really quite large numbers of fans don't sing the National Anthem. Perhaps the words are not to everyone's taste .
(that is not to defend booing, or disrepectifying!! ).I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

Oh don't worry - I boo the National Anthem too! Every bloody time I hear that dreadful, self-serving dirge.
Oh, er, vive la republique, or something.
Roy Hodgson seems a nice chap, seems to have had something to do with Liverpool once...
Marina Hyde in The Guardian on the appointment of Roy Hodgson:
"It says that the Wembley Blazers have finally realised the utter absurdity of offering the likes of Pep Guardiola "the chance" to manage England. Above all, it is a decision that goes gently into the good night of managed decline."Last edited by jayne lee wilson; 06-05-12, 18:03.

From France and Pretender
Great Britain defend her,
Foes let them fall;
From foreign slavery,
Priests and their knavery,
And Popish Reverie,
God save us all.
Why can't people write great lyrics like that any more?
I blame texting.
