Absolutely marvellous stuff. I’m almost grateful to City & Klopp for snatching away their implacable sense of invincibility in their own back yard.
Witnessing Ferguson perform doughnuts in his tanks all over the Emirates for years was a truly painful experience.
That consoling arm around Wenger’s broken being after administering another defeat is not an image I’ll forget in a long time.
Recent results have finally turned that tide of impending doom whenever we face them.
These are happy days 👍
here you goQuote:

That said, the Mike Riley-doped era Manchester United really were a sickening bunch of cheats.
It's lovely to see their fans on social media and their manager complaining of being cheated yesterday :hehe:
I know...Quote:

Would VAR really have intervened in many of the incidents? They would have to send Van Nistelrooy off for the studs on Cole and you'd think they would have overturned the penalty but.... :-)Quote:

a red card for horseface and not facing a penalty (that he went on to score) are pretty large contributors to an alternative outcome in this match, P.Quote:

Point of order here, IUFG - I think you're meant to do that only when SOMEONE ELSE mentions the weak-chinned, Munich-loving, utter **** of a cheat.Quote:

Yes, it was. The linesman would have given it but he was almost two yards away and staring right at it so unfortunately he missed it. He did give the throw in though :-)Quote:

It is one of those things that must never be forgotten. Future generations need to learn about it in history class alongside other tragic moments like the Second World War, and when Sting did that album in a geordie accent.Quote:

Utter c*nt.
Just found it on youtube and it is either 22min or 32min (the time is a bit blurred).Quote:

Still, I've put it behind me and never think of it at all because I'm a well-adjust, mature, adult male. :-(
I think it sold about as well as you might expect :-)Quote:
