There's nothing better than waking up in the morning to the joyful sounds of Spring...the lesser spotted Bitter Blue aka Bertie, with it's cheeky little Citeh! Citeh! mating call...it's a feisty little blighter, very territorial and doesn't get along with the neighbouring birds...once thought to be close to extinction, it's numbers are increasing and can now be seen quite regularly coming out of the woodwork...

[Mick Mac]

RD - at least you do not have Atila's endless jibes to put up with - Its generally much nicer on this thread now.

[Sandperson]

Hurrah! Well said MM.

We'll take on all comers Ruffers. You've got to beat the best to be the best, someday you might get the chance...;-)

plenty of these though!

GO ON YOU RED DEVILS

[titch juicy]

what happened to atila?

[Sandperson]

I heard it was Mossad.

[Narnia]

Was he Hun, Drawn and Quartered?

[Ladymuck]

Atila can be quite funny though...as can Hatche... erm...Jimmy Two Times. In fact I think the pair of them are quite hilarious and misunderstood a lot of the time. But then, having (I am persistently told) a very strange sense of humour myself, who the hell am I to comment - eh?

Bye the way, nice to see another Man. U supporter today (hello Red Devil). Is that a grand total of 3 Man. U supporters on this thread now? (Excluding closet supporters of course)?

I'm afraid that, in one part of your post at least, you are misguided LM.

[Narnia]

I agree with Sandperson. If you had received unwanted PM's you would think differently. I'm no closet MU supporter LM I just don't advertise it all the time!

[Ladymuck]

Oh dear...

Well I suppose that has told me then:(

[Jah Lush]

LM. You've not been on this thread until recently so you would not have seen the constant abuse and aggressive tone that Atila adopted on here. Good riddance to him.

[jimmy two times]

Messi was absolutely superb last night. He's unplayable at the moment.

[Jah Lush]

Oh yeah! Fantastic. I can't see anyone beating Barca at the moment and they still have Xavi to come back into the team. They've got to be a good bet for retaining the Champions League/European Cup. A joy to watch.

You are right Jah.

I have to say...this isn't the most welcoming of threads though - generally. It should be a nice friendly thread and included in that should be plenty of friendly piss-taking about each other's teams...all part of the fun I would have thought. Certainly, whenever I have piss-taked (piss-took?) I have meant it in jest. But then one man's joke is another man's abuse and vice versa...oh Lord I'm wittering on...I'll just go away...

Absolutely. Supporting a team with no serious history of achievement in 135 years, I have always assumed that this was the whole point of football.

Maybe the occasional serious point being thrown in just to keep the thread on track.

[SeanMacGabhann]

It does smell a bit of old pants and curly-wurly's doesn't it?

Some of the cast-list on here seem fine on other threads but it all gets a bit Just-William (on a good day) and Lord of the Flies (on a bad day)

Seems to have quietened down of late tho

Anyway - Arsenal for the double

I'm curious...who is your team?

That's because Atila's gone. He was just one big wind up merchant from start to finish. I'm sure there were a lot of us who did find it very hard to ignore his constant baiting and the result was it turned into a school playground with him playing the part of Biffa Bacon. I sincerely hope he won't be back.

[Narnia]

I wasn't having a pop at you LM by saying I don't advertise my support of MU all the time.Your response suggests to me that you thought I was. I wasn't, honest!
