They certainly did, as did Manchester United. They were held for long periods of the game by the resolute Romanians. The clash is nicely poised between the blue and red sections of Manchester this coming weekend.

Atticus, highly controversial subject. Basically, the club WANTS singing/chants (friendly ones obviously) however if you dare stand up you get ejected. How can you sing with joy sat down? (Not that we've had much joyous singing until recently and even then it's a bit nervous !)

Good wins for Chelsea and Arsenal this evening, and both top their groups. I hope you're not a betting man red devil.

Really ?


McNamara's Band (note correct spelling) is also the club song for Tottenham Hotspur F.C. a Premier League Football Club in North London. The connection to the club may be that the song was written in Barnet, also North London and not far from the Spurs Ground. Spurs is the well known nickname for Tottenham Hotspur. The song was adopted by Spurs long before popular legend has adoption after Northern Irish international Danny Blanchflower joined the club in 1954. Whilst the song was used at this time and underwent something of a revival during the Glory Glory years of the early 1960s, its use at White Hart Lane predates either. The song is still played to this very day as the players return to the pitch after half time at White Hart Lane.

      Miliband plots 15pc net zero tax on gas bills

      This link.provides the full.articke using an archive site  https://archive.is/J8DvF The summary is that the taxes on electricity could be removed but an equivalent levy would then be added to gas to encourage people tonusevheat pumps.  Not convinced it would stay like that but it isn't quite as sensational as the headlines

      No, you didn’t write the article. But unless you’re a Telegraph subscriber, you haven’t read the article either. Have you read it? The psychopath Telegraph lives behind a (rubber) paywall but using this kind of sensationalist, accusatory headline gets it traction on social media. The headline becomes more important than the article; many will see it and some will take it as a statement of fact. And it will be shown on endless “let’s take a look at the papers” segments on TV and radio for 12 hours or more in every news day. And so, a tiny number of reactionary, right wing hacks has a vastly disproportionate influence on the popular conversation despite the papers they work for being bought by almost nobody these days.
