Ha, ha. The last bastion is finally reached. I've been to Old Trafford a lot. I am a member and have been for many years. I'm not a Manc but I've supported the club since I was a boy, as my father was a United fan and watched Law and Best and the rest and fell in love with them. Now come on, tell me I can't be a proper fan and I'm a glory hunter and all the rest...

Respect. And I will gladly talk with you. Denis Law !!!!!!!


Ferguson has been a great Manager for United no doubt about that but as a man I don't think you can class him in the same bracket as Sir Matt Busby.. and come to think of it is 2 European Cups at the so-called most powerful Club in the world that great a return in 23 years..


I may be wrong here but didn't that gentleman they called Bob Paisley win 3 European Cups in just 9 years (at a time when likes of Forest, Man City, Wolves, Man United, Arsenal, Palace, Spurs were all beating Liverpool to the million pound barrier signings)..


SP you lost to Leeds United, now get over it.

Brandchester United being out of the FA cup effecting revenue for TV stations, what a shock, the arrogance shown here is amazing. The same could be said for Liverpool, and The Arsenal who also have large fan bases. By the way, did everyone notice how quickly Old Stratford emptied out in the dying 15 to 20 minutes of yesterdays game. Mind you it is a long old trek back to Hampshire and Surrey from Salford.

Is that a City pub? I was in there last year for a charity quiz. I thought I felt a bit nauseous! ;) If it's a serious invite and I wouldn't get glassed then I'd love to come, however, having spoken to the wife I think I might have childcare issues. Again, if you are serious I might be able to arrange something for the next leg.

    • I'm trying to be civil, see things from different perspectives and avoid arguments. The grey economy is cash in hand, so no tax to be paid, Chancellor loses out, we all win. Zero hrs contracts must be tough not knowing where or when the next work is coming from.  My position might not be great, but with a bit of sensible weekly shopping, stocking up on best buys etc. one survives and life ain't that bad.  
    • I'm trying to find a venue for my daughter's 18th but it's really difficult. Most venues don't want 18th birthday parties. We were looking at Brockwell Hall (The newly refurbed big ol' house in the park) but they want 4.5k for a night which has to finish at 11pm. My daughter tells me her friends don't go out till 11 which I think may be an exageration but I get her point. I'm looking for a bar/club type venue where I can have a DJ till 1/2am and that's about it. Any ideas would be appreciated.
    • My Conure just flew away outside.  She flew towards Belvoir Road.   Please call me if you see her.  She isn't tame but she is too small to survive the other birds will kill her. Please call me  07739180197. Or.  07504852207. Carolyn 
    • “Fair points, not arguing with you on them” This outbreak of civility between us is beginning to worry me ! im approaching pension age soon enough myself and im sorry to hear your position isn’t great.  But current pensions are not the result of  any 1 year government (they literally couldn’t be) but decades of priorities across multiple govts and voter priorities  21k won’t get your fat these days as a worker. Transport and other costs before they even get to accommodation. And they will work hard for that then you have the grey economy and zero hour contracts where people earn far less than that  again - your position doesn’t sound great but that’s no reason to deny a new generation  Me and jazzer at next forum drinks  https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2025/mar/28/dining-across-the-divide-i-see-the-welfare-state-as-bloated-corrupt
