  1. I had a dream last night. We were 2-0 up at half time. A close range volley from Kuyt and a deflected shot into the bottom corner, near post from Benayoun. Richard Keys was gleefully talking about us handing the mancs the title, and I was fuming that we'd played better in this game than on Thursday. I woke up before the 2nd half - it was vivid as fuck!
  2. What the fuck is the point of those referee assistant blokes in the penalty area? Not nice to see from Kuyt, that though.
  3. Inter got the rub of the green slightly over the 2 legs, but after being reduced to 10 men they were excellent and as has been said, there's not much else for it in that situation in the Nou Camp. I was mostly annoyed with their time wasting though. Lots of faked injuries, diving centre backs and 4 minutes of time added on (which wasn't enough anyway, in my opinion) that was mostly taken up with Julio Cesar scratching his arse. As for Mourinho, well I just think he's a gobshite. I don't begrudge him tonight, he's obviously got previous with Barcelona and it was a top result for him, so I suppose he's entitled to a bit of his classic indulgence. It's annoying, but it's only exascerbated by our media fawning over him and applauding his every word and action. That's my objection to him as our manager. That and where we'd find his salary. I still think he's a cunt for the Reading Ambulance Service shit as well. As far as I'm aware he's never really apologised for it, although I'd be happy for someone to prove me wrong.
  4. I doubt he'd come here to sit on the bench. He'll go to a side like Birmingham and try and get in as first choice - if indeed he's ready to be first choice at this level. I've seen nothing of Notts County this season.
  5. I agree with this. The old bastard's reaction would be truly, truly priceless but I hope even after our self-destruction over the last 3 years or so, we're better than that.
  6. If the mancs require our help to get number 19 then fuck them. It's disappointing if they go ahead of us but we've had a long time to get our house in order and start moving further ahead. Nice to see the current incumbent gets most the blame for it, though.
  7. Yeah. There's a pack where you can get hidden locations, and 2 additional chapters: The Battle for Forli and The Bonfire of the Vanities. It costs about 8 quid. I'm quite indignant about DLC in general. The AC2 additional levels are just paying for what was originally going to be part of the game - they don't feel as well thought out as the main storyline which makes sense as they were originally due to be part of the game but were dropped while it was still in production. But it was a brilliant game and I was a mug who got hooked and wanted more. They took me about 3 hours, give or take, if that helps (single sitting!).
  8. I don't see how anyone could be contractually bound, as a condition of the sale, to build a new stadium. Just using common sense, like.
  9. What's the worst that'll happen? They'll get a fine? I honestly had nothing but admiration for City, the enemy of my enemy being my friend and all that, but I've a bad feeling that all of this money is going to corrupt them. Most of their management infrastructure - yes Cook I'm looking at you - seem to be Kenyonesque in their slimeyness, and their pursuit of dominance at any price seems to be right out of his former club's operating manual. You can see it with their fans too. All the bellends turning up to the games with teatowels on their heads, commenting on forums about "Whoze starz we gonna sign next, lolzzzz". I accept that there's bad bells everywhere - even following my own club - but it'll be a growing number as they buy and gazump their way to success and only more will follow which is a shame for a club I used to have a lot of time for. I guess this has got more to do with my general disappointment in the way football in the 21st century is going.
  10. No quotes, and entirely based on two premises: 1. City have lots and lots and lots of money. We don't. 2. We've had a crap season, they've had a better one. Added points 1 and 2 together and made something. It's not journalism.
  11. ITV loving the fact that their beloved Manchester Utd's conquerers are down to 10 men.
  12. My mate once went up to Craig Bellamy when he was at Newcastle and loudly announced "how Craig, you owe us a fiver". Bellamy just laughed and handed it over.
  13. He's a good player, but they'll ask for a mostrous fee. He won't be worth it. He's a colossal bell as well.
  14. Spot on. I don't get a chance to watch much continental football so it's good to watch the champions of Italy and Spain face off, instead of watching a tie that we've seen 3 times already this season.
  15. That's a fucking shit rant. He needs to take some lessons.
  16. Empires don't last forever. I don't like writing that lot off, but there'll come a time - maybe next season, maybe in 5 - when it'll dry up for them. I hope we're waiting for them and we'll look back on this season as nothing but an awful memory. But we've far more important things to worry about than then mancs getting our league record. And anyway. 5 times!
  17. I fucking despise Spurs, and their arrogant "we invented pass and move under Bill Nick" fans, deluded with grandeur and almost as cockney as the Hammers. I was speaking with a lad I was at uni with - a Spurs fan - and he's declaring that the CL is where they belong. I pointed out decades of underachievement but he seems to think they're a massive club. With CL football, plus the inevitable money they spend and the rat-piss-city draw they have, they could be quite powerful. That said, 'appy 'Arry has never struck me as having the nous to do well in Europe, so hopefully it'll be shortlived. I'm basically jealous. They've beaten both their local rivals in a week. I want a week like that.
  18. Mike 'in charge of the whole operation now, me' Riley, isn't he? They may well have gotten off better, but they're not happy and I guess we're all cynical about stuff like this where that drunken old cunt is involved.
  19. City pissed off. At the last minute, the ref has been changed from Steve Bennet to Martin Atkinson - the ref for the first manc derby with the stoppage time.
