Re: Can't resist a reference to the Manchester Derby
Another game run on 'Man U Time' (a parallel time zone to the current universe that began in April 1993.....7 minutes of added time and big and daft Steve Bruce scores twice to deny Sheffield Wednesday!!!)
...I was once asked the age old question "How long is a game of football?" Of course the coach was looking for the answer "Untill the final whistle blows" in other words to encourage us to keeping trying.....my reply was "90 minutes plus however long it takes Man United to score the winning goal" That was well over a decade ago....nothing much has changed

On a different note, I was surprised by NZ's apparent obsession of the EPL and Man Utd when we were over back in May ... should help us settle a bit easier

Lol! 'Old Trafford Fergie Time' as I like to call it! I wonder if such a fuss would have been made if City had scored the winner though! Well I'm sure from Fergie's end there would have been

Yep, the hopeful cry of the midfield creative "genius" which fades into the look of total incrdulity on the part of the colleague who thinks that a "square" ball is one that is not properly inflated......or that "switch" means turn the floodlights "off".....

Re: Can't resist a reference to the Manchester Derby
Possibly one of the best derby games ever.
Great football from both sides, end to end stuff
from the first whistle to the last.
Of course i am a red and might have been saying
something different had we not won
