Can't help being a bit bitter (as it were) about the first goal coming from that corner when I think City got a bit disorganised as Barry ended up taking it, concentration didn't look like it was there anyway.


And much as I'd love to ban the lot of 'em that'd be a bit much. Track record though isn't there? Not least from last time we were there and in the opposite corner as Tevez left pitch (with Garrido iirc). Fancy us for the FA Cup now though!

I agree with you Sandperson- the majority are there for the football not the violence. Last night there were 100+ MC fans and about 10 MU in the pub (Only 1 MU was a Manc compared to ALL MC having Manc parentage/birth but I digress) There were only 2 idiots there last night, unfortunately Blues and they were asked to leave very quickly. Shame it was ANOTHER 91st min goal ;-P

Come on Dunne, avenge your old club !

It was a good game and as I was reading somewhere today, it's a compliment to City how seriously this tie was taken by United. I was disgusted with the coin and bottle throwing. Suprisingly there was one idiot in the pub I was in and he was United so it shows it takes all sorts. At least that winner was a bit closer to full time than the league game!

Sorry SP but Fergie said 2 days before Leeds he would take the FA Cup serious but fieled kids against us as it was a second rate trophy- he has lost so much face with his huge turnaround as he knows it's the only chance of silverware- not bitter as such, but some ref desicions were poor to say the least. Anyway, we have the FA Cup to go concentrate on now, you can have your second rate tin cup !

I'm not moaning about that though (him lining up a full team), take it as compliment to us. He even sacrificed Rio (who could/should have got a card for the arm on Tevez but that's another story.)

I'm quite sanguine about this. We've waited a long, long time. I'm enjoying the journey.

Monkeyheid is mad to get rid of MacDonald. He is your best striker and I for one, will be glad to see him gone. The amount of chances your front two of Samaras and Costa-Fortune have missed in your last couple of games has been comical. MacDonald would have scored many of them.

Can only assume that Tony and him have had a falling out.

Him leaving will only assist us in our quest for title number 53.

BR, I'm not so sure it's our only chance of silverware but I do think as a manager you would have done the same. The result against Leeds meant that priorities changed, I would have thought being flexible and being willing to change your initial plans were good traits in a mamnger in business or sport.

Fergie would have always put a strong team out regardless of FA Cup results. Fergie is not Wenger; local rivalries rankle - remember how Fergie ranted last season over some trivial hand gesture by Benitez. This was also the reason he played a strong team (Rooney, Berbatov, Giggs, Valencia et al) against Leeds when in previous years against similar FA Cup opponents it has almost been a youth team.

Very true Matt. Although the FA cup team is usually stronger than the League Cup team. We got a scare last season from Liverpool and we've had a couple of big rivalry matches this year with Leeds and City (now that City are upping their game) and it's highlighted how important these types of matches can be.

Jah you are right about Gudjohnsson to Spurs. I always rated him at Chelsea. Not sure how he's done since then. He was a Barcelona and then onto Monaco. He did have a serious gambling problem. Not sure what it will mean for Keane as he seems a similar player?

With former Chelsea and Barcelona forward Eidur Gudjohnsen arriving on loan from Monaco on Thursday, the Ireland captain?s club future is increasingly uncertain and the Daily Mail reports today that he has been offered to both Spurs? London rivals West Ham United and Old Firm giants Celtic.


Both West Ham and Celtic are in the market for another striker before Monday?s transfer deadline but Keane?s salary at White Hart Lane is expected to be a major obstacle to any proposed move.


It is increasingly likely, then, that Keane may be allowed to leave on loan, with Spurs compelled to pay a large part of his wages for the duration of any deal.

      Love Dulwich Restaurant

      The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly

      But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
