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. ;-)

    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
