This really is squeaky bum time, as Ferguson described it.

No English team has ever won in Porto.

Game on.

Skoob

2-1 Porto.

1-0 United.

Ronaldo. Stunning.

Skoob

What a fuckin goal!!!!!!!

Fergus

If I have a coronary watching this game, can I e-mail you to call an ambulance?

Porto are a good team.

This isn't over.

Apart from Mrs Skoob, Manchester United have been the only constant thing in my life.

I'm praying, deep in prayer to your dad.

Tell him to do us a favour eh?

Regards

Skoob

End of thread as far as I'm concerned.

Football eh?

Bloody hell!

WE DID IT!!!

Skoob

Don't need to add Hillsborough comments. Already done that. Terrible business. Those 96 fans deserve justice, and their families.

With Respect

Skoob

After watching Sir Axel (sweaty) at his after match press conference, crooked tie an all, I failed to understand a fucking word he mumbled. Glaswegian slang at its best, should have let Scousy Roon do the talking and rub the salt in Liverpool's wounds (nothing to do with Hillsborough BTW).

JO

Crooked tie? Everthing about me was crooked watching that, from hair to toes. Just imagine how AF must have felt.

Stunner from Ronaldo.

Arsenal next. Pizza anyone?

Your fellow Red

Skoob

A majestic Portugese poke and the Pizza you can send to Jose Mourinho c/o Inter Milan, somewhere between ex - Porto and ex - Chelsea, eat your heart Rd, Downtown Milan amongst the fashion queens, Bella Italia, and don't forget one for ol Jagged too!JO

JO

I'll tell em when I see them.

We will fight fight fight for City coz they can't fight for themselves.

Just kidding.

Once got well twatted by a City fan.

Watch em.

The only Blue's I ever got involved in were Porno (failed cause my dick was the wrong colour and of an Asian origin!) Blue Monday, crap record by New Order who couldn't even lick the boots of Ian Curtis and his Joy Division. Monday morning Blues, affliction caused by pissing it up on Sunday. Sky Blues, my boy trialled for Coventry City and was sadly not taken on and the real Blues, John Lee Hooker (not the one in the infamous mugshots with Hugh "I never had sex with that coloured Hooker, but man were her fat lips moist!") Grant! JO

Hmmm Jaggedone... aren't New Order the very same people who you are now referring to as 'his Joy Division'? I agree that without Curtis, the band would have been very different, but they have had massive success, perhaps even more success than they might have had with Curtis.

Anyway, I thought Curtis was a City fan. Gretton was.

Bonehead out of Oasis was a red.

That's why they fired him.

I quite like Oasis even though they're a bunch of anti-Red tossers.

Yes Skoob, correct but Joy Division were certainly not what New Order turned out to be, an electronic pop group. Ian Curtis was the greatest frontman the Brit underground/alternative rock scene has ever produced and he died much too early. This JO is a Joy divison nutter and New Order creamed off the growing reputation of JD and went on to become what they were, sad, very sad! As for their footballing inclinations, no idea, only that other bunch of Mancunian twats, the Callagher Bros, are certainly very light blue! By the way as you know they lost, again! Maybe Hughsie should exchange Nani for Robinho, good deal or not? JO

Jaggedone, have you read Touching From A Distance, the book by his widow? It's a jolly good read.

I'm a big fan myself, mate, and was at the time. I was into all of the Factory Records bands. Durutti Column, ACR, OMD, ah the memories. I even had a copy of that reggae 12" by XODUS.

And I've still got me sandpaper copy of the first DC album. You know, the ones Curtis is supposed to have stuck together whilst the others watched porn films. One went for £310 on eBay last week! Not parting with mine though - no matter how much it's worth.

That Bloke Again.

Ah, it's true I used to go there a lot, Skoob. Had a mate in Urmston in the early 80s, and I worked for a guy that sold trainers out of the units in Brown Street in the centre, just off Market Street. All the old Trimm Trabs and so on.

He set me up with a stall in Hull Market but the damed thing got broken into and he dcided enough was enough!

I still go back now and then, just to sample the rarified air. It's different Up North, isn't it, Skoob?

Ah Monkey Woods

You're bringing a tear to my eye.

For all it's faults, and there are many, I miss it like hell.

Skoob
