I hate Stoke so I'm always glad to see them lose.
But, since before they played us I've been predicting them to win the cup. And it would be a laugh for me, working as I do surrounded by Man City fans, to see City fluff it again.
I think it will be a good final, but its a tough one for me.
All the songs mentioned are good as far as I'm concerned and each has its time and place when its the right one for the moment. The slow Albiyern, Albiyern, Albiyern is OK. There's times at away matches when to my ears its the right one - its like a statement that we're here and own this bit...
Before yesterday I've always been happy to say that Rochdale is my favourite away venue because the home fans have always been good news. Yesterday was no disappointment. In the pub before the match their fans were up to expected standard and then the match itself was really good.
Still happy...
Let em be, I say. They may bask in the glory in the school playground but once their voices break they must realise that they've embarked on a lifetime of being despised by all fans of all other teams. Honest, it must be a hard life being a Manchester United fan.
Confirmed by me (I've been there 3 or 4 times) and by Stoke exiles at work who are currently advising me that the nearest to try for a beer is about 6 miles from the ground.
If tickets are selling slow then thats good news for me and son Dom because we'll be sure to get a couple when they're on sale to white members.
All the reasons folks give for not going are fair enough. And all the reasons folks give for going are fair enough too.
As for me, I hate Stoke...
As Bold Seagull says.
I don't know anything about your MP but I do remember from the Falmer campaign when I wrote to my then MP for her support for an early day motion. After about 10 days or so I'd heard nothing and was complaining to all and sundry. A few days later I got a written reply...
When I first moved north west I was often accused of being Australian. Admittedly this was to Warrington and at the height of Neighbours popularity, but still one hell of an insult.
We didn't need to feel sympathy for Liverpool fans because we all knew that things would work out well for them in a very short time. Its not the same as Liverpool or any other team's fans supporting us through our years of need because we really did face the prospect of being wiped out.
So...
Haven't got time to read all the replies on here.
Where do I sign to agree to no goal music? Its crap and we're much better than that.
Any chance of making sure that no big drums ever get into the stadium either?
If you think the BBC is bad when you're in UK try BBCWorld tv when you're abroad - utter crap.
They seem to think that nothing is worth broadcasting unless it is "business". So its Asia Business Report, India Business Report, Africa Business Report, Middle East Business Report, Pechard's...
