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.


Tick tock..

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.

    • 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!
