  1. No need to tell me Andrew, all my mums family still live in East Manchester....Gorton mostly. They knocked down the factory where uncle Bob worked to build what is now the Etihad. Back then it was a one of the most deprived areas of the country and in places it still is. They filmed the first two series of Shameless in West Gorton then tore the entire estate down. Mums family lived in the previous slum which the “new” West Gorton occupied until it was pulled down after the war. They moved to Ardwick Green (opposite the Apollo) to a scheme called Amanda Avenue. I remember the broken glass fuckin everywhere when we visited when I was a kid before they pulled that shithole down in 1980. Wander up Gorton lane today and see the huge empty lots where giant factories once stood that will never, ever be redeveloped. The first factories in the world were built in East Manchester in the early 1800s. Fredeich Engels father owned one of them. It was so bad for the workers that junior ended up inventing fuckin communism off the back of it. Basically the whole area has been in decline since the end of the war. But to try to score some spurious point on the internet some deranged mackem has said that it’s a better area than central Newcastle upon Tyne
  2. Central Newcastle upon Tyne less prosperous than east Manchester a decade ago? Tyne & Wear v Greater Manchester? The North east v the north west? Explain please.
  3. Only because Sanchez pushed him back. If he'd gone down like a sack of shit Mitro was toast
  4. Seems a long time since Llorente was considered one of the top strikers in Europe Mitro should’ve been sent off for a judo throw on Sanchez but was only booked, inexplicably so was Sanchez... OH! Harry Winks spares Spurs blushes in the 94th minute, 45 seconds beyond the 3 mins the ref allowed. Great cross from Rose...
  5. How do these 61% feel now CT two and a half years on?....
  6. Your boy not following a London side then @Dr Gloom?
  7. Using "Islington" as an insult is pretty much 20 years out of date too
  8. W Where does that put the tories who didn’t vote for Mays deal? They appear to be less culpable?...
  9. CT said this on 3/10/17 Nostradamus is indeed among us
  10. CT even Rayvin now thinks Corbyn is a cunt so am not sure what you’re trying to prove, possibly and inadvertently that you’re an easily manipulated thick twat desperate for a diversion from the issue at hand, ie the Tory party tearing itself to fuckin pieces over Europe. Their desperation to prevent Corbyn becoming PM doesn’t change that.
  11. CT: 200 Tories failed to vote for Mays deal; CORBYNS FAULT!
  12. Ive probably bored people to death on here before by saying the UK is basically the Balkans without access to Kalashnikovs
  13. My old mate who I used to play football with is an experienced GE returning officer. He's been emailed asking about his availability on a specific date in the nearish future. Needless to say it's not the date this forum's resident village idiot suggested the other day
  14. They're all putting party before country. Then she emerges from the bunker to suggest that they all work together on it. Only 33(?) Parliamentary working days till we leave. She can go fuck herself.
  15. Nothing but the most pointless PR campaign in history and a cynical attempt to finger Corbyn with the blame for this mess. I don't think I'll ever vote again. Am sure theres lots of decent folk at Westminster but after the last two years the institution they actually represent is fuckin worthless.
  16. Is this a “mea culpa” from Bielsa, possibly to avert a hearing at the FA/EFL, with a subsequent points deduction in the offing?... Imagine Leeds missing out on promotion because of cheating
  17. We didn’t get a blatant penalty. Doesn’t even hurt now....
