£89 sent via pigeon carrier, expect it by Thanksgiving.

Cheers Tikay, gl us.

Do all stakers get a %age discount equivalent to what £200 is worth? Spread the wealth Tikay

Agree about canned laughter. There is nothing worse. US shows that ain't funny (I'm looking at you Big Bang Theory, 2 Broke Girls, HIMYM etc) always use it. Maybe our SOH as Bits doesn't translate to their 'comedy' shows, but give me Father Ted over anything from across the Atlantic every day of the week.

Hope all is well your end

Wasn't planning on going away this summer, but plans now might include a hop to the continent sometime in mid/late August

How the fuck have Arsenal finished 2nd?

Even as a United fan I can appreciate how perfect this is as a sporting moment. Don't mind re-watching it at all.

It stands comparison with 26/05/89, and with 25/05/05

and pales against 26/05/99

But 30/07/66 is still the daddy of them all for me in football.

Meh couldn't really care less about the national team, really can take or leave them. Appreciate in '66 it was a completely different era, but these days there is very little to like about England and the whole set up.

I met a group of lads in Australia when I was backpacking in 2010. All football fans. They were surprised when I said I'd rather City won the league cup than England winning the world cup, though one (an Evertonian) did agree with me. Despite the success since (remember in 2010 we hadn't won bollock all for decades), my views haven't changed; give me a trophy with City, any trophy, over a world cup/Euro success for England all day long.

Can any passionate football fan honestly say they sit and watch England with the same emotion as they do their club team?

Anyone got a pic of Phil Jones' face when the news filtered through at Sunderland? Absolute gold

Sunderland fans were great that day, royally took the piss out of them at the final whistle. And the QPR fans were great as well, some good footage kicking about on Youtube of them celebrating our winner as they'd just heard a minute before that they weren't going down. Carnival atmosphere.

I'll be amazed if any other day in my life ever comes close to topping 13/5/12.

Happy 4th anniversary Aguerooooooooo. Drink it in.

Great news that he's signing a new deal, if it's true of course. Means Arsenal won't be troubling the top spot for the foreseeable.

The club even brought their own police and stewards to Manchester on Sunday to try and keep the Wenger out brigade under wraps. He's gonna outstay his welcome and send his legacy down the shitter if he isn't careful.

What's the fate of Upton Park? (I'll always know it as UP)

Yeah only really just realised that I rarely refer to it as The Etihad haha. ''I'd like to see Pogba at Eastlands next season'' is what I'd type without really thinking about it.

No chance of that happening.

Typical City if Swansea turn us over on Sunday and we miss out.

I'll reiterate to cover my own back, Europa League has the better away days

Argh took him out my fantasy team thinking he was injured! Fuck you TFT

Man c haven't beat any of the top 5 teams
Deserve to miss out on top 4

So if Team X didn't beat any fellow top 5 teams but beat everyone else home and away and won the title, they wouldn't deserve it?

I'm not a fan of laps of honour for the sake of it, for example Bolton had one (and a player of the year do!) after the season they had

it did strike me as rather jarring yesterday to see it so empty for the departing speech of a decent man who after all won the title a year ago and a cup this and only on wednesday was in the champions league semis!

why are segments of the fan base anti-him? (as you say one of the forums is)

That's a good question and I don't really know what the answer is. Can be a lot of venom directed towards him on Blue Moon, win lose or draw.

In my eyes he was brought in for 2 reasons; a stop gap for when we could get Pep, and because he was the opposite of Mancini. MP doesn't get involved in training ground bust ups, doesn't give the media anything to twist, is an assured and calming influence around the club. I think we have regressed slightly under him, but perhaps we were spoilt that he won us the league and league cup in his first season? Only to lose out to Rogers for manager of the year lol

Maybe because he's not batshit crazy like Mancini was has eventually worked against him in the eyes of some fans? I really don't know. I like him, we've had a solid couple of seasons under his tenure, and whatever club he goes to are getting a very good manager. I felt he deserved better yesterday, but equally fans can do as they please. I'd like to think he'd get a great reception if he ever returns to Eastlands.
