Wikipedia - "The term first appeared in the 1930s. Sports reporters of the era used separate pieces of paper to record the different statistical details of a game. If one team did not allow a goal, then that team's "details of goals conceded" page would appear blank, leaving a clean sheet."

Win against Hull on Saturday and I think Spurs on the 16th Dec will be a six pointer game, which could make a lot of difference either way and we still have a game in hand !

Sorry mate, no I'm not-newbie as of yesterday. Only been in the area since September-True Blue through n through and a Manc exile.

Not one for being nasty to other team supporters but like banter- friendly like. Ever been to the Swamp BTW ? ;-p

Darren Fletcher, 'I don?t want to sound big headed, but I?ve never come up against anyone who has torn me to shreds. The only time that has happened has been in training against Roy Keane and Paul Scholes.' .... 'I have to train with Scholesy every day so I know how good he is. I can?t get near him.' .... hmmm yes the same Scholes the much maligned Lucas kept robbing of the ball last month at Anfield.

Darren Fletcher, what a world class talent he is, up there with likes of Veron and Djemba Djemba, so crap they named him twice.

Hahaha - I wonder if Scholes is being tee'd up for Footballer of the Year, with Fletcher getting the PFA joke award. If Scholes and Fletcher played for any other Club they'd get 2 yellow cards each every game before half time.

Now I wonder what would have happened if I had said that?

I'd have rolled my eyes and ignored it just as I have matthew.


Seriously, people might want to check scholes silverware before calling him crap. Yep he's a little physical and dirty, but we can't scream at divers and soft referees that's it a contact sport then complain about those midfielders who get stuck in.

Plus in all these years he's by and large kept his mouth and flies shut and let his football do the talking, a lesson many could learn.


I'm sure he's indifferent as to whether we like him, but I for one admire him.

What Mockney said.


Scholes is a class player and the only thing that gets him in trouble is the fact that he can't tackle to save his life. Hence the occasional booking or sending off for a poorly timed tackle that occasionally makes him look like a dirty player.

He's not a diver or a cheat and he doesn't have his head in the clouds like a lot of footballers these days. He quietely goes about his business on the field of play. So tackling apart, a model professional and as good a role model for young players as Ryan Giggs.

      Cat Flap

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.

      Looking for good wifi suggestions please!

      By Alec1 · Posted

      With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.

      Should facial recognition be mandatory for retail outlets?

      I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.

      Really like living in a country where big brother is  looking at you -, not that it is likely to happen in UK but crime should have stricter consequences.. not just put into jail which I gather is where more bad habits are learnt.
