To be fair to Anna, I think she was playing with Sandperson there.


I used to go all the time when I lived in Liverpool, but I haven't been to Anfield for years, was going to go up to The Fulham match, but couldn't in the end (and am quite pleased I missed it really). I do want to go to a game soon, mainly because Anfield won't be there much longer, but to be honest, I prefer watching matches in the pub, simply because I have rubbish eyesight, and can follow it better.


I went to see Charlton a month or 2 ago, and it was the first match I'd seen in a couple of years. Sat there just thinking why have I wasted ?20 for this, I can't see who is who from here, and I'm cold, and the beer is in plastic glasses.


As I say, I will try and get to a game soon, probably with our very own Annasfild, but even if I could see perfectly, I think I'd chose to spend my money on other things (not that I'd have the money to go all the time anyway).


Each to their own though I say!

Thanks Keef, I wasn't trying to be all high and mighty (so cheers for that too MP :-S).


It was by no means aimed as a nasty dig or pop at anyone and as I'm sure you'll be aware there is always plenty of banter between United and Liverpool fans. The first question that is usually asked is "have you even ever been to Anfield/OT?" delete as apt'.


What's the stat'? __% of Man United supporters have never even been to Manchester......

I'm sure it was all meant in the best possible taste. I find that pretty much where ever I go in the world I see just as many Liverpool and Chelsea fans as United. It's like the old cliche about United changing their kits more often than other teams it's a nice myth that rival fans liked to use as a wind-up.

I still don't know which paragons of virtue you follow...Obviously Fergie makes no sense. I mean nine Scottish trophies, 15 English trophies (not including the 8 Community Shields and 7 European Cups of varying types means he is an idiot. All I can say is give me Fergies and loveable ways over your manager any day. So come on, give us all a laugh, who do you follow?


Oh, and by-the-way, we still won the league for the 10th time in the 95-96 season, grey kit or not.

UGH!

Ince sacked. No big surprise, but a shame. How will we ever get new talented managers in the top flight if they are just sacked, and we go back to the same old tired names like Big Sam, and Graeme Souness!?!? What has the latter ever done in management that is impressive?


At least Big Sam kept Bolton up for a long time, and made them in to a tough (if boring) team.


I'm not the biggest fan of Ince, but he should have been given time, and a bit of money.

Shame for Ince but at least he has a track record behind him at Macclesfield and MK Dons, so should be back in management sooner rather than later. Unlike Roy Keane of course who had no track record and so decided to bail out from Sunderland before his reputation was dented beyond repair.


I just hope Ince does not sink to the same level as likes of Big Sam and pimps himself around ITV, Setanta and Sky until some dopey Chairman thinks he talks a good game.

I don't know why who I support has any relevance, as in regard Manchester United all I have said is what I'd expect from any fair minded United fan. Now I know Sandperson can't be openly negative on this forum against his once proud club but I am sure down at Fans HQ in Surrey he will agree with my every word ;-)

To be fair if you go week in week out, home and away and live hundreds of miles from your home ground, and spend thousands doing it, it does give you the right to banter at those that don't go, irrespective of circumstances.


Regarding todays news, couldn't happen to a nicer bloke in Ince, by most accounts. ;-)

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
