Got back last night from a weekend in Mcr and 'that game'. General consensus from Utd fans was that the scousers have probably done us a favour in the long run, we were starting to look complacement, especially against Inter.

It's funny being away and coming back to see all the comments, especially the anti-Utd ones. Ratty's right, it goes with the territory, and long may it continue. What amazes me though is so called fans who trash Utd first before praising their own team. I'm not going to waste my time responding to the Munich poster, other than to say big respect to the posters who trashed him..(tu) It is indeed a beautiful Spring day, top of the league by 4 points with a game in hand, and Fulham lined up next...

Form says beat Real Madrid then... put United back in their box. Villa have buckled under the pressure, as I predicted last month, on Sunday they also need a result so could be a very entertaining match at Anfield.


As for 'wake up call' to United ... I think more like wake up call to the opposition who they will play. Liverpool didn't reach the same levels as against Real Madrid but they were still strong enough to neutralise United's midfield and thus cut off the supply line upfront.


I wonder if Wenger feels like a dumb arse for saying United were untouchable!?

Great w/e of sporting action, Liverpool were a joy to watch Arsenal back on form. England smashing France was tops as I work with 2 french guys. Now West Ham have paid off Sheff Utd ?15-?25 mio if we win tonight thats 42 points and safe.Happy me Irons.

I think I might have touched a few raw nerves there...

It is strange how there appear to be two different versions as to how much WHU are paying Sheffield United. Most papers say ?15 million, paid over five years. However both the Times & Observer say ?10 million now, and ?15 million over five years. The settlement details are supposed to be confidential, so it looks like two separate leaks. Goodness knows which, if any, is accurate.


Edited to add that Yorkshire Post changed the figure to ?25 million from ?15 million too at 11.30am...hmmm

I watched a bit of the game last night and felt bad that quids gave up an evening to go and see it



then I read about Warnock and couldn't believe it. Then I thought, no I CAN believe it


So then I watched Stewart Lee's new show on BB2 and all was ok again.

Disgusted with myself for losing, albeit "small" on that West Ham/WBA game last night as I was certain it would be very low-scoring.

West Ham's makeshift front 3 can't possibly cut it and I was so angry with going with WBA as they were handed the match ona plate and were so lacking in confidence and frankly, useless that they could not take advantage of a side who could have played all night and not scored.


What a contrast to the wondrous West Ham/WBA game I went to with Hursty/Peters/Mooreo and Astle/Bomber Brown for The Albion...6/1 and it could have been 11/3....modern football, eh?

According to various reports, Fergie refused to speak with Sky before and after the game on Saturday as he believes they are responsible for the scheduling of the game which meant Pool had one more day to prepare for the game. Is this a little like the time he blamed the colour of the away kit for the mancxs being on the wrong end of a hiding against Southampton some years back.I think he also forgot to mention the fact that there was a Y in the day, which went against them. JEEZ!!!!! And I thought Le Prof griping about Sunderlands performance against us smacked of sour grapes!!!!

    • For the past 15 years, I’ve been subjected to persistent passive-aggressive bullying and harassment by my upstairs neighbours. Their behaviour has included tampering with my plants, opening bin bags and questioning me about their contents, and interfering with misdelivered post — some of which appeared to have been opened. There has also been consistent noise disruption, like loud door banging and deliberately dropping heavy objects. They often laugh or stare at me when I’m in the garden, creating a constant sense of intimidation. Much of their conduct is subtle and hard to prove, often falling into a grey area that could easily be dismissed as paranoia, which makes it even more distressing. In the early years, I sometimes responded, but I realised this only seemed to encourage them. Since then, I’ve tried to remain calm and avoid confrontation — but unfortunately, this seems to have escalated things. After the recent death of a close family member, they left a condolence note, which at first seemed kind — but it came with a request to cut back my laurel bush, which I maintain for privacy, as I often feel watched in my own garden. The timing and nature of the request felt inappropriate. Still, I arranged for a gardening service and slightly reduced the laurel, though likely not as much as they wanted. Shortly after, one neighbour commented on how lovely one of my potted plants looked — which struck me as unusual, since we’ve barely spoken in years. Just days later, they told me the same plant looked like it was dying and asked if they should water it. Soon after, it rapidly turned yellow, brittle, and died — in a way that looked clearly unnatural. From photos, it appears the plant was poisoned, likely with a chemical weed killer. Access to that area is restricted — it’s behind a locked front gate monitored by a Smart CCTV camera. No one else had access, and it would be very difficult for someone to climb over the wall unnoticed. Given the timing and condition of the plant, I strongly suspect it was deliberately poisoned. I brought this up in a chat with my next-door neighbours, and they revealed they’d lost three trees along the same fence line over the past few months. One of them had previously been asked for access to cut back those very trees. One of the affected trees was a mature silver birch, whose sudden death should leave chemical evidence if tested. I’ve reported the incident to the Environment Agency and requested soil testing to check for toxins. The police have also been notified. I’ve installed another CCTV camera for additional monitoring. I’m not looking for confrontation — I just want to live peacefully and without further interference. But their behaviour continues to feel calculated and harassing. Has anyone experienced anything similar? What steps would you recommend next? I feel at a loss as to how to protect my space and sanity.
