Please don't tell me you stood in the open.

Per day.

Agree. Great article

You even managed not to sound too triumphalist - even though I know you would really love to have shown your true feelings!

Post by: Dave Clark Five on January 30, 2014, 09:03:04 AM: Another good article Dave.
I saw some figures about Man City's financial losses come up before the game and wondered how sustainable it all is for them.

How about you walk fifty yards and stand under that bloody great bridge?

You found a hole in the Aston Expressway?

Have a look at what the Manchester City supporter said. Irony at its finest.

Post by: TopDeck113 on January 30, 2014, 10:18:38 PM: Indeed! Although I would imagine that that he might be nodding in agreement to your response.

Consequently it would be no surprise that the world's best footballers wanted a slice of the action...
