I'm having a good day too Annasfield! BTW Jamie looked very tasty doing the commentary today on Sky Sports. Hope you have a good evening and watch out for your knee!

[SimonM]

Watching that game on SkySports I can hardly believe I forecast a 0-3 score....Ferguson conceded his team were rubbish but still could not resist his little dig at the referee...

Yeah.......you are delirious........what league are Leeds in this year? What was the score in the other 5 minutes! Maybe you only play 85 mins in the lower leagues and I presume you can't afford 11 players.

[david_carnell]

Wo-there. I was only poking fun at SimonM - something I do often and he does back in good spirits. I have no idea what your problem is but to answer your questions:

League One. Why? Do we have to play my team's better than yours again? I'll probably lose.

0-0 then we had a man sent off in the 9th minute before going on to win. Do you see why that's a good result?

The rest of your sentence makes little sense - are you a Man Utd fan by any chance? In which case I now realise why.

[SimonM]

You forgot that (1) Derby's 1st goal was an own goal "scored" by Matt Kilgallon & (2) their second,winning goal was scored by Rob Hulse! (his first for Derby, first since coming back from that dreadful injury he suffered at Chelsea). I watched the game on Sky and we were pretty awful - thank goodness Beatty is back ...So enjoy your *good* weekend >:D

David: I don't think I'll be alone whrn I say that I realise that your comments were said tongue-in-cheek(like the ones you made to me,in fact:X) but some others just don't "get it".

ONE DAY MY FRIEND..the WALL will rise from the ashes and RULE THE WORLD!

Oh dear..........I don't 'get it'. I get it enough to know 'scum' is a word that implies ignorence. 'People eh'........is that the best defence you can come up with for someone who thinks it's okay to refer to certain other people as scum.............aren't you a person? If so 'tongue in cheek' deserves better than the use of such a crass word. Still if you are happy in your club of those who do 'get it' have fun and enjoy your blinkered vision!

Oh very well, if it's that vernacular that bothered you so....

...my apologies. I won't do it again.

Leeds fan who also supports Sutton Utd, Wasps RFC, Surrey CCC, England and the Lions - see, we do have something in common!

Hi! Dec! This is Ant from London Suburbs.

I was only defending me old mucker and M8 Davy! He can be misunderstood at times but he means well..Honest Guv!:)-D

He's a proper person-one of yer own..Yougetme Bruv?

[????]

Declan= newbiefootball fun. hatred is the best part of supporting your team...

[SimonM]

Erm...if you support a football club then you kind of expect insults to be thrown at you from supporters of other clubs. It's all part of the fun at most levels.... And he was calling Merde Utd "scum" not their supporters, which to any right-thinking football fan is no more than restrained fair comment...

And heaven knows Leeds supporters get little enough pleasure in life these days....B)

[Annasfield]

I reckon I'd be bitter if my team played like that yesterday too. ;-)

Quite correct on all counts. Ta, Simon.

Darling Declan

Long time, no sparring. David really is a lovely chap, you just haven't been introduced properly:

Declan, may I present David who has an interesting line in tweeds.

David, this is Declan who as a Lions supporter, is a man of unparalleled taste.

[????]

Just 'cos you beat Leicster you're all getting uppity

[Sandperson]

Come on, David's dirty Leeds and he can't help that! (This is tongue in cheek but I also do think Leeds are dirty).

I notice Anna didn't come to your defense Declan despite being offended by a 'tongue in cheek' bin dippers reference only a few weeks ago. Liverpool fans have short memories (except when it comes to European cup wins.)

Shame about the result on saturday, we were poor but you have to let them one in every five or six just give them hope. ;-)

[Annasfield]

My goodness that was a game and a half on Saturday. I have never known Anfield like it. Was a fantastic game to be at and I was thoroughly impressed with our performance. Can't wait to get back up there for the Stoke game.

Sunday's Chelsea v United game will be interesting. No Vidic, no Terry. Will Ronaldo be back?

On a separate note, I see that AIG are struggling financially. What's the likelihood of Man United playing with a patch on the front of their shirts in the coming weeks?

[Sandperson]

I expect we will just merge with City and be done with it.:))

[Annasfield]

Then you really would be Manchester "United"

Thank you PGC but you may have got the wrong end of the stick regarding my affection for the Lions. The one's I like only play every 4 years, almost always abroad and they rarely win!

Ah well, a girl can dream!

Good luck to all the british teams kicking off the champs league this week! Hopefully see you in the knock out stages.
