Have you converted to the philosophy of Mr Johnny Déscartes - "I post therefore I am" - or something? :innocent:

I could say something really condescending like "You younguns wouldn't understand" but us parents are far too mature to take such cheap shots.

I deserve the cheap shots. I almost attributed the paraphrasal to Kant :urff:

maybe....
"something wonderful" a sample from the movie 2001, is used on a Revolting Cocks track from the epic Beers, Steers+Qveers called Something Wonderful, nes pas?

So, will he be remembered as a drunken philanderer or a footballing genius?

I knew I should've kept me Bestie footie boots...

for our generation at least he'll be remembered for both. i'm sure in 50 years time it will only be the football; you rarely hear about stanley matthews hellraisig debauchery these days. :innocent:

Feel I should apologise on behalf of decent Leeds fans for the chanting during the minutes' silence on Saturday :oops:

It wasn't entirely unexpected - I could go into how Man Utd fans have taunted Leeds in the past, but it won't get us anywhere. Slightly pissed off that only the Leeds chanting got a mention, when there were a few other disturbances up and down the country - Man City, Tottenham and (I believe) Wigan.

Anyway, sorry. I'd like to say it won't happen again, but... :?

No need to apologise Norm, hardly unexpected, like you say. We've got used to it since '59 (I believe the country was united in sadness for at least a year).

So back to business :wink: How exactly have we taunted you in the past? By winning stuff, and buying your best player? Fair do's then. :twisted:

The Best thing is understandable though, to some degree. Pretty soon they'll be having a minute's silence everytime Beckham stubs his toe.

Man City were playing Liverpool, not one, but two teams not exactly known for their admiration of Man Utd; I heard that the "minute's silence" at (I was going to type Maine Road then...) The City Of Manchester Ground lasted 18 seconds?

sad to see a few members of the low iq brigade blackening the name of all decent football fans yet again.
