Tonight's football thread

[Danbert Nocurry]

there are a lot of Man U fans like me in their 40's who understand exactly what you mean. The 1970's and 1980's were pretty barren years for us and continually living in the shadow of Liverpool was painful. City were the better team yesterday and I also hope they go on to win it. But therein lies the issue. You are celebrating like you have won something. You havent. You won a local derby which the rest of the football world will scarcely even notice. The record books will show nothing if you fail to win the final and more to the point if you continually benchmark success against the occasional times you beat us the blues will have progressed nowhere (if the semi is so much bigger than the final). We still have the Premiership and Champions League in play. Wouldnt it be great if all 3 major trophies resided in Manchester? I hope it happens - do you??

There's a lot of truth in everything you say AJ but right now I'm more concerned with going into work. I can't bloody wait.

I shall walk into the staff room arms aloft then sit down and wink at everyone (Mario style) that comes through the door.

This is our city, this is our workplace, this is our week.:wink:
