I'll always defend the blues as they've always been Manchester's poor relations (and frankly everything about Man U sickens me), but they're slippery as fuck on attendances and always have been. You couldn't have a conversation with them when I was growing up without them claiming "you can add another 10,000 on each of our home attendances because Peter Swales stops them (the turnstile staff) clocking the Kippax after a certain point so he can fiddle the tax"

True dat. Historically I've always heard figures of "16,000" from the blues. Or hysterically I should say.

Imagining a photoshopped crowd pic of that, padded out with Sgt Peppers cover extras to swell the numbers.

Is Piers Morgan in actual danger or is that likely to blow over? Saw summat the other day. Wishful thinking but I actually want it to be true in his case, the massive twat.

They're specifically doing 1976 ones, every week. When it launched people were all excited at the diversity and vibrancy of music that was going to be on offer - until they realised it was Brotherhood Of Man at number one for the first month and a half. In that case we are just about to start a six week run of Elton and Kiki followed by 6 or 7 weeks of dancing queen!!!!!! Can you stop making Meenzer look so massively hetero please, CT.

Are they staffed and run by actual southern asians or is it like a scene out of a German version of It aint half hot mum?

Stevie quotes plastered all owa as usual, getting their backs right up.

Fucking hell?!

Just have to keep watching that goal. Utterly immaculate feet. Love it.

...and that is why association football is the best game on the planet.

Fucking hell mate, that's a big upheaval and a major financial hit (and all amidst an emotional shit storm I've no doubt) but full respect for keeping the focus on the kids and maintaining their family home.

Not many, but then two wrongs don't make a right. Tbh, I think it's a perfectly reasonable requirement and massively beneficial. And if the argument is that they haven't had any prior experience of a learning environment, then what better way to be introduced to one? If it's something as fundamentally important as being able to communicate then unless they have actual learning difficulties I don't see a counter argument.

Aye, sorry Craig, obviously I know about you and your ex so I wasn't prying into that, I just meant how far away from your kids are you having to move?

Sounds pretty major! What's the back story there Chayton? Hope it all works out as positive, obviously.

How the fuck can the police start running tests on someone's kid just cos some tourists think they look like Madeline McCann?! Which police 'artist' thought that rendering looked like a 6 year old either ffs?

summed up succinctly there. i tire of leazesmag's obession with 'being proved right about the old board', as i suspect the majority of posters here do. it happens with almost every thread he conrtibutes to. the sad thing is, he can be a half decent poster when he isn't banging on about the same boring old crap. i had to put him on ignore because it's endless and was spoiling my enjoyment of this place. some do, some don't. If you don't want me to mention you, stop mentioning me. Alex has said why you have put me on ignore, and you know he is correct, that reason is so sad and pathetic. I post about things I am interested in, same as you, I am not interested in choosing my favourite players etc which is my choice, but I don't moan on all the time about the club like you do, and I didn't wish for the situation the club is now in with a new owner, like you did. If you think I ruin threads for you , which is strange when you are now saying the same things I have said for years, fine, but stop speaking for other people. You ruin threads for me too, because you are an absolute whining cretin, without any balls, and I have no respect for you because you have no balls. It's not just him you're ruining it for though Leazes tbf, loads of people are asking you to pack it in. You can't be blind to that.

He's not 'banned' you ffs, he's put you on ignore. Jesus Leazes, you sound like you're five years old half the time. You honestly can't derive any pleasure from this site if this is how it makes you feel. Let it go.

Nick, why are your eyes on the side of your head? What is the extent of your peripheral vision? Are you at risk of predators?

@ the name change.

KK, in his time here, probably had as much money to spend (in relative terms) as well. Don't get me wrong, I love Keegan and don't think Mancini is that great but he's delivered what is still a huge trophy in quite a short amount of time. Basically what I was alluding to, without any disrespect to KK.

He's won the FA Cup. I'd take that like.

I'll be honest and say I think the bit in bold gets over egged a bit. Not by your good self necessarily, but it's often talked of as though it's some sort of evil that the money's only being made available as a loan rather than a gift and he'll want to call it in one day. Yes he'll want the loans back, but ultimately it'll probably only be realistic on exit of the club. And the fact there's loads of loans repayable on demand when he sells the business will mean he'll have to accept less for the business when he sells it. Ie anyone who does due diligence will know about the fact of the loans and then knock that off the valuation accordingly. It's only doils like MA who allegedly didn't make those sorts of inquiries who would miss that and there aren't that many of those type of people about.

Fuck off, Bob.

Sorry, there was me thinking you referred to me directly.
