  1. I noticed years ago that quite a lot of southerners had an almost vehement hatred of Liverpool in a way which wasn't matched up here. Not saying they were universally liked up here but it seems far worse than it ever was.
  2. They did bomb Stan Boardman's chippy although the ungrateful bastard never acknowledges their huge part in his career.
  3. Speak as you find etc and I've gotten on with supporters of all clubs as well as disliking some. I've definitely met more decent scousers than bad. I got on like a house on fire with a red manc on a Hol years ago. Like I Say, you speak as you find. By the way, pretty sure half of paddocklads family are mancs unless I'm mistaken?
  4. When I mentioned the hangers on and oot'ers I hope I didn't give the impression that Man U have them and Liverpool don't! Anyway, fuck the pair of them.
  5. Enlighten me as I wondered at the relevance?
  6. I couldn't stand Liverpool when they were winning titles and can't stand their (many) ex-players and think they are totally over represented in the media of this country. I never liked Man U and thought they were a bunch of hacking bastards as a kid watching them, above all I can't abide the gloryhunters they attract, there's a sadsack who walks around where I live, must be around his early forties, I've NEVER seen him without some kind of Man U clothing and he will usually wear a scruffy white top with 19 and champions on the back. With this bloke it's a mixture of pity laughing to be honest. You have to respect what Liverpool and Man U have achieved on the pitch but they're not special cases and can both fuck right off for me when some of their fans come out with their shit.
  7. I totally get what Stevie says there's just the danger that although they are undoubtedly the biggest club in Britain people start to peddle a few pro-Man U myths or facts. Are they owned by a Sugardaddy? No. Do they have the most support? Yes. Are they holier than thou? Are they fuck. Respect the club and the manager, (although he's a talker of shite when it suits his club) but they've been helped along for fifty years in my opinion.
  8. I didn't! J69's birthday treat put me in mind of it.
  9. Bellamy is a Welsh gloryhunter who supported them as a boy. Wouldn't expect Rush and Barnes to favour us over them to be fair. Terry Mac is a scouser and won the European cup and league with Liverpool but I'd say he's more part of NUFC than LFC.
  10. "No problem, Andrew! Always happy to help!"
  11. It was to do with Munich then the media coverage and it's just snowballed. They dont have one main sugardaddy, but they do have plenty of sugardaddies who have absolutely FUCK ALL to do with Manchester, the area or any relatives with a MUFC connection and are widespread and buy the merchandise which the sponsors clock and pay MUFC accordingly. ITV once apologised, (it was Des Lynam) for putting us on the main channel instead of them as we still had something to play for whereas Man U didn't, ITV also admit they will ALWAYS get the main game barring exceptional circumstances as they'll receive more money from the half time break adverts. They are artificially supported just in a different manner to the likes of Chelsea, Man City and Blackburn were, and be in no doubt, they think we were artificially helped when KK was here as in their minds John Hall bought all our players.
  12. Happy birthday! My then girlfriend thought it would be canny to treat me to a surprise weekend to Blackpool as although she knew I hated it, (she liked Blackpool), she thought the break 'would be nice' she also bought me an 'S club 7' CD as a joke. She then has total insomnia about this when being less than impressed about anything I've ever done for her.
  13. The most run down places I've ever seen in Britain were parts of Belfast for obvious reasons, however there's shitholes everywhere to be fair including our friends in the South.
  14. In the seventies as well? Robson, Birtles etc were £1M men when it was very rare. They've had the most biased press and media coverage of any club in this country for nigh on fifty years which has lead to the bloated giant eating up massive sponsorship deals like they have today as every prick from Milton Keynes to Dublin, from Tokyo to Singapore buys into the club and sponsors pay them big bucks for it. They spent 26 years trying to buy a title and you have to laugh when you hear their 'holier than thou' shit that was directed at any other club, (including us!!) who tried to do the same.
  15. Dalglish is why he isn't as revered. He left them to go to Hamburg, told them he'd be going as he fancied it out there and he was pretty clued up financially as well and ahead of his time, Dalglish came in and they didn't really miss him so maybe it's a psychological 'who cares about Keegan?' from the scousers? I know it used to really get under Man City fans skin when KK would talk about us all the time whilst managing them and there's maybe that as well. I read Bob Paisley's bit in 'Auf Wiedersehen Kev' where he said he knew KK's dad or granda in the North-East as that's where Paisley was also from and KK's granda would sing the Blaydon Races to him as a kid etc so it's no real surprise he felt an affinity with NUFC before he played then factor in his time here from '82 onwards. There just isn't the same attachment to and from Liverpool although to be fair I've never heard anything but the utmost respect from him to them and he adored Shankly.
  16. How did Man U pay all those record transfer fees when sky weren't around and when sponsorship was minimal compared to today? Their crowds might have been 10k or so higher than most but admission prices were a lot lower then yet they could always splash the cash?
  17. Meanwhile.... The catholic church has announced that condoms may now be used in certain exceptional circumstances......... for example if an altar boy has diarrhoea.
  18. It's an excerpt from my debut erotic novel, 'Fifty shades of Broon'. I haven't finished it yet and would like a fair and balanced review from you lads if that's ok? Geordie is a successful businessman and gets interviewed by a lass from the Chronicle. Things get steamy as the intrigued reporter falls for Geordie's patter and good looks. ' I gently ran my hand down her jeans till my fingertips delved into her knickers. Her fanny was wetter than a spakkas chin and needless to say, I was like a babies arm holding an apple......' What do you's think so far?
  19. Christ! Off the top of my head; Portsmouth and David Kelly scoring a goal met with ecstatic scenes mixed with sheer relief as we just didn't look like getting the goal we needed and it was out the blue, hit sweet as a nut. The Mackems getting well and truly fucking ANNIHILATED 5-1 and having the pleasure of being in visual distance of them. Arsenal 4-4. Getting twatted 4-0 then getting a couple of 'pride' goals back to some typically stoic 'well we're fucked, might as well show these cunts how to support a team' backing from the stands, when the third went in I just knew they'd buckle and the equaliser was a belter from Tiote. Even better than the 5-4 Leicester for me.
  20. How'd you know about that!!?? Funny you should mention Stevie as I wondered whether he mixed business with his twitter pleasure?
  21. Just had a look on jobserve and this is the message my jobsearch got; 'No matching jobs found' (I'm not looking by the way as although I'd love to do something different I feel I'm stuck in the type of job I'm in unless I fancy a pay cut. Just found the story interesting).
  22. Those two links I posted suggested that any CV you send in to a recruiter will have a fair percentage of them checking you out on twitter/FB/Linkedin and that it mightn't help your cause if you haven't got any accounts there, mate.
