I will have to make the Man City badge by Avator! I have been looking for something to use (that nobody else has already done) for a while now!

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was bitterly disappointed with his side's 4-1 derby day thumping by Manchester City.
United bossed large parts of the game but failed to find the target enough times to stay in the match.
Ferguson's men also gave away chances with more examples of poor defending, and he was thoroughly disappointed with the result.
"In the first half we played very, very well but I was disappointed we gave two goals away from a long throw and free-kick," said Ferguson.
"But we hit the woodwork twice and our play was very, very good.
"I thought if we were patient we could get back in the game quite easily - but in the second half City were the far better side.
"There were a few errors in the defending and in any game at this level you can't afford that."
With the current champions now 12 points behind leaders Arsenal, Ferguson admits that his side need to regain their form as soon as possible.
"It's obviously going to be very difficult (catching Arsenal) - there's no question about that.
"But the important thing is to try and get our form back and eradicate these silly errors we're making at the back.
"Confidence can play a part - no-one knows how it comes and goes.
"But this was a terrible result for us - you can't mask that - and we want to do something about that.
"If we get our form back we'll be in a healthier state."

Lobster ? I havent had lobster ?! But I can smell it on me clothes.
I was burning leaves today (and nearly fell onto the fire !) does the smoke from leaves smell like lobster ?
Did I just see Ricky Gervais on Alias ?!!
My head hurts I need to lie down.

What a great goal by Shaun Wright-Phillips.
saw the game on tape (isn't it an anti-climax when you already know the reult?) But anyhow, United, they just look pathetic right now.
**** em' anyhow.
3 points to County, we might stay up yet.

The thread that refuses to move and refuses to die.
Helluva weekend for Citeh and the Footie thread.
Still got a blinding headache and spent most of the day drinking water and sleeping.
Much of this may not make sense to most of you, but for those lurking and following the story:
Woke up Sunday morning.
Logged on to check the association football results and...
This immediately called for celebration and I had to tell all my chums how thrilled one was regarding my finest team.
I posted the news and added a photograph of our centre forward celebrating his good fortune. But the picture would not work for some reason. Edited it twice without any joy.
It was then that I discovered that this thread - one started by British residents in the United States of America to hold conversations regarding the beautiful game back in the old country, was removed from it's home - where it had lived peacefully since September last year. The reasons why is that a new section had been created and the powers that be had decided that our conversation should take place in there. So it was moved without warning or permission. We questioned for the reasons why and asked that it be put back to where it belongs because as mentioned - this is a conversation between British expats in America about football back in the UK and not a general conversation. Plus we have intellegent, sensible discussions regarding football and if this thread resided in another place then there would be a risk of the children who play in the lounge would come in and reduce the thread down to their level and eventually kill the conversation. Additionally to this was the fact that images are not allowed in this new section and that is something we enjoy and helps illustrate our points.
With thanks to Brigie the thread was moved back home, but not without casulties. Tony - the original author of the football thread was banned by Brigie because of a joke she made (It confused me too.) So I am making a public plea to you Brigie to please remove the ban and let bygones be bygones. You cannot ban somebody because of something you posted and that others took offence at !
Thank you for those who have sat there and have read the entire (and very long) paragraph. The reason I've posted in this PA-like style is to see if I could bore myself as well as you the reader.
And I've succeeded.
Back tommorow with the midweek fixtures.
