(TB - don't fancy adopting me as another son, do you?)
Pretty much the same as last year anyway - I was in the 2nd row, Stret End which is great unless everything happens down the far end (like last year). First I saw of the penalty, miss and shenanigans was in the local that evening!
I have been a season ticket holder for over 20 years. The last 10 years or so is the reason you can't get a ticket.
I have been disgusted with United recently. Not the team, but the club.
Genuine fans who are not season ticket holders come way down the pecking order when it comes to tickets.
My seat faces the corporate seats in the South Stand. They all fcuk off about 15 minutes before half-time and don't go back to their seats until around the 55 minute mark.
Roy Keane got slated for saying what genuine fans have been saying for years. Too many freeloaders watching United who couldn't name the team if you tattooed it on their arm. Can't bring myself to call them fans.
God help us if this Glazier bloke gets his hands on the club.
We got our first league win today in over a month. 14 points, up to eighth (dropped from 7th to 8th after Liverpool won). I hate Doug Ellis, he's the reason we never get anywhere - and he still won't disappear and run a travel agency instead.
I'm watching Man Ure v Arse tomorrow. Should be a good game. Hope Man Ure win it (not that the outcome has anything to do with Villa).
Arsenal 0 QPR 4.
You read it here first.
Believing in conspiracy theories, I think it's strange how the fixture list seems to have come up with MU v Arse for match number 50. Wouldn't have anything to do with trying to hype up a game now would it? If you lok at Arsenal's fixtures before tomorrow's game, it's all teams they couldn't possibly lose to even if they tried. Boro came close though.
How come Arsenal's 10th game of the season, when everyone knows before the season's started that they're 40 games unbeaten, is against MU?
But OK, probably not that far up...
Interesting that there is a lot of belief that ManU will win tomorrow. Not just here, but in the media at large.
Arsenal are unquestionably the better team at present, though tomorrow will be a matter of desire, I think. If Utd don't win, they can pretty much say a final goodbye to any title hopes this year. I think this will squeeze a great performance out of them.
But I think Arsenal will hold on - just.
A draw for me. 0-0.
To be fair (as Peter Taylor would say) we've not been playing that well this season but find ourselves in the top 3. When things click and cash strapped Bradford have injuries and suspensions which start to bite who knows...?
Shame that the result of today's Premiership match is academic as we all know it's Arsenal 1st, Chelski 2nd and Manure 3rd.
Then, hmmmm let me see... - how about Liverpool, Newcastle, Villa and possibly one surprise team like Bolton or Everton.
Then I'll stick my neck on the line and predict mid table obscuirity for Boro, Charlton, Birmingham etc.
How about tipping the 3 promoted teams to go straight back down with maybe an established team on the slide (Southampton) mixing it in there before pulling away at the end?
So, just like last year and the year before that and the year before that.
A bit like Tommy Mooney, not the best player in the team but his passion makes up for his short comings.
Paul Furlong, top scorer, not the same Paul Furlng?
This game is obviously more important for United than Arsenal. Not because that would keep United's title hopes alive (I think it's a done deal - Arsenal will retain the title), but because that would kickstart their season (in CL, FA Cup) and (more importantly) to actually start making some progress in terms rebuilding the team and be ready to challenge again for next season.
On another point, does anybody else feel sorry for Norwich? They impress me everytime I watch them. I mean they play good football but they're just missing that cutting edge. I hope they stay up.
BR: just watched Hull on the TV highlights. Looks like you're definitely on the way up. And a personal message from both Pizzaman and me: Thank you, thank you for demolishing Luton.
So back to my last question, which specific division are you in?
are you a midlander in exile?
I like following Conference stuff. Wanted Aldershot to go up last season, the team that went out of business from division 4 in 1989 I think it was.
I've noticed in the last two seasons, the top end of the Conference seems to be occupied almost entirely by former Football League teams.
Do you post on the H&V website much?
The conference is indeed full of ex-league clubs, so the standard has rocketed.Its basically an extra league division now.There are just a handful of part-time clubs left, which makes it harder and harder to survive(literally)
