I''d love to be a fly on the wall in the Man Utd dressing room when Fergie gets in there...

What's depressing more is the quality we've got ahead of them but who you just know are going to get fuck all service from the midfield.

Liverpool going to do the double over Man Utd? How they must rue those home draws...

'Clark Gable' looks nowt like Harper....

I made the observation today that if Hamilton was anything other than English, he'd be more hated but the English F1 fraternity and press than Schumacher was. Button does himself no favours either - "look at me, i'm not in it for the money cos i took a pay cut... I'm in it for the driving" Should do what Senna did then and offer to drive for nothing then!

Is it just me or is that 'official' site of his simply a blogspot page?

The cock still talks shit even after the sack! It could happen but I'd not be putting any money on it.

McLaren are definitely bullshitting IMO - lulling the opposition into a false sense of security and what have you... Bet they're out of the blocks like a whippet on March 29th. The Renault is good too - think Alonso is trying to do the same.

That car is immense and I don't just mean for it due to being short on fuel. Got a couple of mates who live in Brackley and everyone in the town knows someone who works at the factory and they've all been gob-smacked by its potential long before they took to the track. The car is already 1.2s a lap quicker than last year - that's a lifetime. I doubt they'll be challenging for regular race wins but I reckon they'll be in the points regularly. McLaren are sand-bagging IMO although the car isn't as good as last years, i agree. They tend to take their time when there's major rule changes so they'll play catch up for a while. Smart money is on Renault IMO - that thing looks like shit off a shovel.

It would be unbearable with us and Boro in the Championship and the Mackems in the Premiership!!! Echoes of the 90/91 season. The Hull game at the end of that season was a classic event though. Neither us nor them had anything to play for but if the Mackems lost at Man City, they were coming back down again. Bizarre watching the whole Gallowgate end erupt when the ball was nowhere near the goalmouth - Hull to their credit joined in and celebrate the Sunderland goals when they scored

fantastic piece of work on both counts

Pretty sure they can. Didn't they draw Chelsea in the quarters a few years back? They definitely can draw an English team in the quarters. Liverpool beat Arsenal in the QF last season before being knocked out by Chelsea in the semis.

I can see us beating Hull this weekend and Boro at home and gaining a couple of draws in the final two games of the season Fulham (H) & Villa (A). I think we'll lose the rest though and will plummet down as a result

Awesome... What chance you can knock one up exactly the same with the previous badge (the one we use on here)?

likewise - i did try gettyimages but they don't seem to go back too far.

Definitely not the first time he's heard that tbh. Tom, you're fucking priceless at times....

While we're on the subject of photographs of SJP, this one is fucking awesome IMO

Probably was the 1-3 home defeat in 1985-86. According to Soccerbase, it's the only time we lost at home to them in the 80s.

What a cracker.... You two must be absolutely made up. All the very best to the 3 of you

While we're at it Mascherano obviously learned nothing from his carry on at Old Trafford last season. UEFA should take action for his shenanigans last night. Disgraceful.

Title says "Fantasy manager showdown. Does it not young man?" Aye and your point is? I was answering your question tttt

BTW Tom, the bloke stood next to the goalkeeper (Gary Kelly) in the second to last photo you posted is none other than John Anderson

Fucking hell Andy Thomas looks pissed off in that last one... Anyone need reminding what the Gallowgate bogs were like?

As a manager?? Clough without a shadow of a doubt.

Some more old pics - still don't help you I'm afraid Shints.... That second one is how I remembered the place when I first started going to matches.
