Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Bloody Millwall. Bloody Dennis Wise. Grrrr.

But in fairness they were the better side on the day and we could have played all day and not scored. Ho hum. We'll do them in the play-offs.

What really pisses me off, though, is a six-hour drive back from Manchester (normally I can do this door-to-door in less than four). Torrential rain, every caravan in South London clogging up the motorways and an entertaining detour across Northamptonshire when the M1 ground to a complete halt at Daventry.

And what pisses me off even more is my boss coming to insist that we should write a story about Millwall's locally-born striker Neil Harris reaching the FA Cup final .... WTF did he think I was doing while I was sulking at Old Trafford. :evil:

Never mind Andy, your team were destined to be knocked out in the semi's anyway.... If only Tranmere had beaten Millwall :(

Did that judus Thornton play yesterday? If he did I am glad you were beaten as he makes me want to spit every time I hear his name.

Anyway, Tranmere won on Saturday at Wrexham. What fun that was??? 12 noon KO, 200 police on duty, a helecopter overhead for much of the game and 1200 Tranmere fans going Baaaaa (crap sheep noise) all game. TOP.

Not according to your 'keeper, you're not. Roy Carroll is saying even winning the FA Cup won't make up for a disappointing season at Old Trafford.

And sometimes United fans wonder why they are regarded as arrogant ..... beats me.

Arrogant? Hmm. Regard us how you like, just be glad you got beat in the semi, it's saved you from a drubbing in the final.

Given the season we've had (ie sh1t by standards set over the last ooh, ten years now), I'll be quite pleased with the FA Cup, but I'm far more impressed by the performance against Arsenal.

Beats me why Sunderland fans (or anyone but city or the bin-dippers) would regard us as anything.

But a big thank you to MUFC for crippling two of the gooners and putting them out of Tuesday's match. If we can ring it so Arse start with only 9 we may have a chance.

Which is quite understandable.

So, hands up if you've won the treble. what Mr arsehole w*nker, your hand staying down then :twisted:

Oh, isn't it a beautiful sight to behold?

Man-U fans arrogant? Maybe, maybe not, but in any event nowhere near as arrogant as the Arse crowd.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

went to beautiful downtown bramall lane on saturday to see the mighty blades completely fail to close down notts forest's midfield :urff:

bloody hell. :urff:

my favourite bit was where the forest fans were chanting "you're not very good" to which we started singing "going down, going down..." as a gentle reminder of their impending relegation scrap ;) :innocent: :twisted:

in fairness their midfield completely outplayed us and we conceeded two very soft goals :(

still, shouting "SCAB!" everytime gareth taylor got the ball was a fairly amusing distraction from the poor fitba peformance we put in ;)

Well, some of us have broad horizons. I try to have an opinion on just about everything. It beats looking up facts, anyway.

Snowey: Thornton was on the bench, his usual position for us. Apparently he'd been ill during the week and was never in contention.

Ah well, back to the league. Milton Keynes tomorrow night. Hope it doesn't rain ... the drenching walking back to my car from OT yesterday would be nothing compared to 90 minutes in an uncovered stand at the NHS. It might even resolve my moral dilemma about supporting my team v giving money to the franchise.

Well said! Trebles all round! Ha- I'm even more sure than I was on Saturday that we'll actually win more trophies than the arse this season. Their bottle has gone, Chelsea will beat them for the League and they're not good enough to win the European Cup. Tough titties, Wanger.
