Ha, ha. The last bastion is finally reached. I've been to Old Trafford a lot. I am a member and have been for many years. I'm not a Manc but I've supported the club since I was a boy, as my father was a United fan and watched Law and Best and the rest and fell in love with them. Now come on, tell me I can't be a proper fan and I'm a glory hunter and all the rest...

Respect. And I will gladly talk with you. Denis Law !!!!!!!


Ferguson has been a great Manager for United no doubt about that but as a man I don't think you can class him in the same bracket as Sir Matt Busby.. and come to think of it is 2 European Cups at the so-called most powerful Club in the world that great a return in 23 years..


I may be wrong here but didn't that gentleman they called Bob Paisley win 3 European Cups in just 9 years (at a time when likes of Forest, Man City, Wolves, Man United, Arsenal, Palace, Spurs were all beating Liverpool to the million pound barrier signings)..


SP you lost to Leeds United, now get over it.

Brandchester United being out of the FA cup effecting revenue for TV stations, what a shock, the arrogance shown here is amazing. The same could be said for Liverpool, and The Arsenal who also have large fan bases. By the way, did everyone notice how quickly Old Stratford emptied out in the dying 15 to 20 minutes of yesterdays game. Mind you it is a long old trek back to Hampshire and Surrey from Salford.

Is that a City pub? I was in there last year for a charity quiz. I thought I felt a bit nauseous! ;) If it's a serious invite and I wouldn't get glassed then I'd love to come, however, having spoken to the wife I think I might have childcare issues. Again, if you are serious I might be able to arrange something for the next leg.

    • Hi everyone, we are trying to finslise our decision for enrolling our son for 3+ from September and currently considering Dulwich Prep or Herne Hill. We like both and appreciate there is no right or wrong answer but what we like about HH is great focus on early years and also being coed. However if we can avoid the 7+ stress then prefer to do that. Dulwich Prep is closer but the difference is not significant. we know children are very active and busy in DP and they have great facilities, but unlike HH, we don’t know much about their focus on personal development and emotional intelligence, etc! Also not sure about long-term impact of being in boys only school. Difficult decision for us and we appreciate feedback from parents if you can share please.    thank you
    • Yeah that was their old policy. Their new policy is to force you to have a water meter and if you refuse they put you on a punitively high tariff which effectively forces you to have one. I was doing well with my policy of polite resistance which was to say yes fine I'll have one fitted but then not actually book an appointment or cancel the appointments they made. But then I was persuaded that it would be much cheaper anyway. 
    • Lots of lovely lilac shrubs in flower at the moment. Would anyone consider giving me a cutting? It would involve digging out a basal off shoot, roots and all. I'd love one for my new garden but I'm so broke that I have to fill it with plants the slow way!
    • You are welcome to have mine for free. I was just about to post! Three panels - 6ft by 5ft - weathered/natural on one side and painted brown on the other.
