Mr C,
I was working at the Leicester v Forest game on Saturday and was in the ground for the majority of the match (seperating the 'fans' who were somewhat fractious towards each other). How on earth forest were not 2 or 3 goals up in the first half was beyond me given the chances they had as leicester defended deep, then in the 2nd half they were totally out to sea.
It is good to see both Leicester and Forest in paly off positions through

Meh! I've been here before. Forest have to take the second automatic promotion position - they can't be trusted to graduate from the play-offs, on past form and on their current dismaying facility for bottling it in psychologically-daunting situations (ie local derbies, away games in general, anything in front of TV cameras.......). Only Forest could screw up such a relatively kind run-in fixture list. Mind you, I'm not at all sure the Premiership is the healthiest place for a football club to be at the moment, to be honest. It wouldn't kill me if they didn't make it. Pompey today..........

By the way Toby, I'm listening to an excellent Radio 2 program right now, Ballad of the Miners' Strike, in the great tradition of the Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger Radio Ballads. Fantastic stuff. I think you'd enjoy it. It'll no doubt be on the BBC player later.

Go Newton Heath!

Thank you for those three kind words. We LUHG folk are beginning to feel that (just maybe) the evil septics may be on their way. We have finally spotted Glazer's weakness. He just loves money. If we offer him enough, he might just go.

they want to keep united for another 7 years.
In the five years before glazer - 3? trophies
since - 7 with another possible 2 to come this year. Not bad

It’s a pity all these United fans on the green and gold protest didn’t show the same interest at the time the takeover was taking place, I see to recall much bad feeling towards the lads who went on to set up FC United at the time for saying basically the same thing and being taken to task over it.

what did fergie say ? "Fcuk off and support chelsea if you dont like it"

Thanks for this recommendation Mr C, I will most certainly listen to this when I can - does Shirt of blue from TMTCH get a feaure on this at all?

I think plenty did protest in the only way fans really can - we stopped going. The problem is that there are so many to replace us. The dozen or so I used to go with -and had done as a group since 1973- are now down to just three who simply can't bear to let their season tickets go. There have been empty seats this season with some regularity though. I went to FC United in the first season. There were quite a lot of lively lads there and the crowd was very exciting. Standing up was brilliant. It was a bit like our season in the old second division. The football on the other hand was pretty poor. I couldn't bear to watch it every week.

Go Villa! greatest comeback since the last one!Carew the King of NORWAY!

Little Wigan 1 - 0 Liverpool

That result was for all the lousy wankers otherwise known as Liverpool 'fans' from wigan who have never been near anfield and take the piss out of me for supporting my home town team on a regular basis.

I hope you enjoyed your evening watching the match in the pub, your silence last night and today has been deafening.

How has VicMo settled in at Wigan? Has he been getting much time on the pitch?

[Mark_Wafc]

He has not started any games yet, to be honest its not been the right time to throw him in because we've been having a horrible time of it of late so chucking a young lad in and expecting miracles from him would have done him no favours at all. Bobby tends to bring him on for about 20 mins or so and has said he will bring him into the fold slowly, similar to James McCarthy who was with us for 6 months before getting into the side properly. He has done well when he's come on tho.
