Drochit Blue

somebody wake me up!

Manchester is certainly the place to be ? this afternoon?s 160th derby is the most eagerly-awaited clash for decades ? and the city?s very own Stone Roses sold out their reunion gigs for 2012 in an amazing 14 minutes. United are always so strong at Old Trafford and this season have already seen off Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea in style, so I believe Roberto Mancini may replicate the sad stalemate of November 2010 when a game of football threatened to break out but never actually did. With a two-point lead at the top of the table, Mancini will probably sacrifice his current attacking instincts by smothering the midfield and going for a draw. Balotelli and Aguero will not start, as City won?t want to be as open as they were in the second half of the ?Community Shield, but United have the edge ?recently, having won the last four home derbies. I think United?s forwards have too much class for the Blues and I hope that City?s wobbly defence does not become an Oasis in a sea of Red! So.............spot on then Butch? 6-1 to City was it? Maybe he should stop writing this stuff, it is just embarrassing, he's wrong on every single point he makes

Not really shocked. Utd can tear most teams apart if they are allowed time on the ball - and that is exactly what Arsenal gave them today. Men against boys it was. As for Spurs........I'm just on the train on my way back from that one! City clicked (I'm glad to say) and Spurs don't have a goalscorer (believe it or not Mr Romanov). The money City have spent means they have players who can think their way through a tricky game. Looking good for a Manc battle for the EPL this season......c'mon City

can't believe it, Shettleston having a Royal Wedding street party...............it'll be carnage, they'll all just get p*ssed and fight all day if you've never had the pleasure of going through Shettleston, look it up on Wiki... Shettleston is the only place in the United Kingdom where life expectancy is falling. Reasons for the decline include poor diets and remarkably high smoking rates

1-0 Caley, Celtic commentary team complaining like f**k. But then they've got nothing right so far

ICT penalty

I seem to have found a working stream, anyone want it send me a message

What makes you think there are any Utd fans in Manchester?

I was told Sainsburys hope to have a store open in Nairn in 2011

it's about time Sainsburys got that store built in Nairn, to give Tesco some proper competition

Culbokie, Black Isle ta btw

it is for an open fire, don't need kindlers as for quantity....erm....I sort of wanted a pile out the back of the house to save me trecking to the garage every week. How to quantify it though....? a pile about the size of several wheelie bins??

does anyone on here know any suppliers of firewood? I'm looking for one that will deliver rather than just those bags they sell at the Esso garage. I've considered using the Victoria Park as a source, I'm sure they wouldn't notice.... ta

following allegations in Sunday newspapers about Wayne Rooney visiting prostitutes it is believed his wife Colleen is being comforted at their home by John Terry..............allegedly

from what I can remember of 1996 Manchester you'd have struggled to cause ?10 damage to it.... Apart obviously from regret about the injuries caused (my dad was shopping in Manc that day, thankfully unharmed) the bombing allowed the council to rebuild the City centre and greatly improve it.

yep Coppell walked out on Man City after abut 6 weeks. from the Press conference at the time he looked in shock...he should have tried being a fan! Various reasons circulated (most of which I could not repeat here) but he seemed stressed out by the demands of the job. In truth as an ex-ManU player he was never going to be popular with the fans

ah well, maybe it' just me. That's the sort of (mindless yet amusing) banter you get when your rivals are on your doorstep. Utd and City fans are in the same pubs, offices and schools....that clip just parodies the sort of 'you're cr@p', 'no you're cr@pper' type of argument that goes on 24/7. Perhaps if the ICT merger had never taken place it'd still be happening in Inverness? I've certainly met fans of both Caledonian and Inverness Thistle who regret the merger and miss the local rivalry.

So you'ld rather let your team down and get sent off than quickly score a goal whilst the opposition are making idiots of themselves? you think I'd get caught? Old skool football, back in the 80s....you'd only get a warning for that

to be honest if I was in the opposition team and saw them doing that after scoring, the next tackle would be about 6 inches too high and about half a yard too late :_header: it's a bit over elaborate isn't it?

I drive through it most days (work related) and rarely see any other driver using their indicators. Are they really not used to other traffic?

I've just been down to Manchester and this is typical of the pub debates going on. Can't wait for the season to start (language not suitable for work or kids btw !) Man City fan spells it out to deluded United

following Raol Moat's attack on the fish & chip shop the other day, all chippies in Northumberland will now be closed until he's caught. There'll be no more fishies on little dishes 'til the Moat comes in... (I'm gonna go to the bad place aren't I?)

I see the police have offered ?10,000 for information that helps catch him......if they haven't got him by Saturday night is it a Raol-over ?

lol

I see your point but if bringing them down endangers others.... It is normal to leave climbers bodies up there, some have been there for decades
