7 decided not to go then as they said 300 were sold

They go in for a bit of "rounding up" the Few, bless 'em. Never any rounding down, though. Or just giving it straight, ie it was 293, not "300."

Imagine them playing cricket, you could never trust their scorer.

Joey on about ill discipline

Hahahahaha 

"Barrow had a moment of ill-discipline," said the bloke who's had a life of it.

Barrow helped out by the referee, says Barton. After he'd sent off a Barrow player. He didn't win the second half this week, tbf, or the first half, so he's got to focus on the ref this week.

"Upwards and onwards," says Big @Never to the dark side on Radio Local. Upwards and onwards, or onwards and upwards, it's all the same to me, up the City and (come) on you Reds ....

He actually said “we won the second half”!!!

They drew the first half v Mansfield in 2014, tbf. And a lot of the second half. Right up until Mansfield scored, in fact.

Praying for forgiveness, presumably?

Almost. Praying we didn't get promoted.

You do remember krekly, just looked up that attendance at Eastville - 19,337. But given there were probably 10,000 manure fans there... 

A creditable 1-1 draw for the crapkit buffoons though, as they struggled to avoid relegation.

Man Utd visited Eastville on Good Friday, 1975, so clearly the attendance was less than it might've been what with the Tote End being at mass that afternoon.

" Ritchie's stirring display reduces United to a state of panic, though it is Emmanuel who secures the points by firing in as Fear's shot is cleared off the line. Tommy Docherty is surely joking with is comment that "City were the most defensive home side we have played this seaason" "

1 nil, Tommy. 1 nil. Attendance 28,104. United remained top despite defeat, City are 4th.

"A first half bomb warning adds to the frenzied atmosphere of this clash. The closest United come to a goal is an early 30-yarder from Steve James that hits the crossbar but for City Gillies hooks the ball low into the Stretford End net in the third minute of injury time to clinch victory"

That's 2 nil now, Tommy. Y'gobshite. Attendance 47,118. United still top, City 5th.

Just a month prior to this, we'd taken the piss at Eastville, winning 4-1 (Fear 2, Mann, Tainton). 

Great days. 

If I recall kreckly, Man Utd drew 28k at AG that season, and 19k at Eastville. We are the Many, they are The Few.

Barton : "We are going to be everybody's cup final"

His delusion knows no limits. 

It’s almost exactly like Tommy Doc's Man Utd and the Red Army rampaging around the Second Division in 74/5.

Joey might need to draw upon some of that Nietzsche he used to read over these ensuing ten minutes or so ....

Hate lazy chants like that. Clubs like Man United seem to come up with loads of clever, catchy and unique songs for their players. We have a few unique ones of our own, but it always frustrates me how we revert to type and recycle songs like that.

Not saying I could do any better by the way !

Manchester is defiantly independent and separate and also assuredly confident in their own independence (from London/the rest of the country). And confident in their own cultural equality, or supremacy over, even, London. Liverpool the same. It wouldn't enter their thinking to hear a chant at Chelsea or Arsenal and then adapt it for themselves.

I see the fellas in our singing bit - and in previous years/decades - and, bless 'em they do try, but they do not have this independent state of mind. They don't have the confidence. Or the wit/imagination.

That goal is right up there with any I have seen scored by a City player, Jimmy Mann v Shilton being one of very few better.

I absolutely loved watching him, superb technique, excellent goal scoring record for us & even why we were a bottom six L1 side under SOD, JET was worth paying to see on his own.

JET and Baldock were third top scoring "duo" in the country that difficult season.

Joe Bryan's goal v Man Utd is a class above both goals you mention there, though, in my humble ....

Yearning for a man who trebled our wage bill.

A man who couldn’t wait to pick apart the tightest most talented squad we’ve had in a long time  

A man who was complicit in assembling this bloated squad we currently have. 

Ive truly seen it all now. 

Thought you were on the Few forum?

Pretty resigned to relegation this season on about the 6th best attendances.

Not a lot Pearson can do, I blame the fans for forcing Johnson out and Lansdown for giving the keys to that Tuesday Ashton

Grounds were empty and most people were preoccupied with the pandemic when LJ was fired. There wasn't even a 'Johnson Out' bedsheet to be seen. What did for Lee was 1. Going backwards (down the table, not improving) 2. The dismal spectacle and dire quality of football, especially at home, and 3. The players were no longer responding to Lee, as close inspection of the drinks breaks brought in last summer when the season restarted revealed (Lee spent them berating the 4th official while his opposite number was amongst his players giving them instruction).

Time to bring Ranieri in.

No I'm not optimistic, with that team against this opposition. And where did I say we are "shit"?

I was offering a different opinion to the one that said we've chosen a good counter attacking line-up.

I think the 'where will the goals come from?' question remains unanswered.

 

They will keep coming from looped crosses to the back stick, where Chris Martin will inexplicably always be in acres of space, and where he will power headers back across goal into the far corner of the opposition net, past the despairing dive of each and every Championship keeper this season. 

It's not much of a town, is it? 

Lam Out. Well, it worked for Quince 

Nice to see the old Bris rugby club hasn't been completely lost ....

Nasser has just absolutely nailed the batsmen on Sky, they think they know better than everyone who's ever played the game about how to bat properly.

Bracey thinks this?
