I understand that you are upset BJ, and I am certainly not gloating, I try to be far more diplomatic and sportsman-like than that - but as well as you played you must agree that United were the better team on the day.
City made the us pay for 2 maybe 3 fundamental mistakes which almost cost us the game and all credit to them for putting on a fantastic game of football.
as to the extra time I think you'll find that the rule says..
"the additional time is always a “minimum’’.
Cheers & I'd love to share a drink together at the next meeting, loser pays the "Check Bin"

Nicely summed up Dave.
and for the record I think these quotes from today's "Telegraph' should be noted.
"Sir Alex Ferguson’s side had dominated for much of this absorbing game yet City, resilience personified and inspired by the outstanding trio of Given, Nigel de Jong and Bellamy, kept fighting back, kept equalising. As the team who live closest to United, City should really know about their neighbours’ most celebrated quality. United never give up. From Nou Camp ’99 to Old Trafford ’09, injury time is their time. '
and
"For all the clock-watching frenzy, the bitter truth for Hughes is that United deserved victory. After a summer of scepticism about how they would cope without Cristiano Ronaldo, the champions have responded with the attacking brilliance of Rooney, the ageless grace and guile of Giggs, the hungry running of Patrice Evra and some authoritative midfield displays from Darren Fletcher. And Owen’s threat from the bench. '
and finally
Hughes moaned about Owen’s coup de grâce arriving after the four minutes had elapsed, but the additional time is always a “minimum’’.

I almost feel sorry for all the City fans, we almost let you draw and most of your lads played their hearts out, but in the end the "magic" of Old Trafford won it for us.
7 goals in the game made it a special match and the method and timing of them even more memorable.
Bellamy played a "blinder'' of a game, but then so too did Fletcher, Giggs & Anderson, and there in lies the essence, IMOH United had more of their players playing great games.
t'was a shame Adebayor wasn't available to play and I sincerely hope that you have a full squad for the return match at Eastlands when the contest continues.
Three Cheers for Football, that game had everything a football follower could want.

<deleted> was up with Ferdinand and Foster today?
That aside, an amazing game that will live in the memory forever more!
My heart is still racing!
I have to agree with you Rix, it was a truly eventful game and we were very lucky in the end to snatch the points.
There were some atrocious mistakes made, and some of our lads need a couple seesions with my old school coach of the '50's.
Rule No 1 : If in Doubt, Kick it Out
Rule No.2 : Keep It Simple Son.
...and talking about your heart still racing, I think my doctor is going to suggest I watch the seniors petanque in future....

Laura Buxton released a helium filled balloon during celebrations for her grandparents’ gold wedding anniversary in Blurton, Staffordshire, in June 2001. Attached to the balloon was her name and address and a note asking the finder to write back. Ten days later she received a reply. The balloon had been found by another Laura Buxton in the garden hedge of her home in Pewsey, Wiltshire, 140 miles away. Both Lauras were ages 10 and both had three year old black Labradors, a guinea pig, and a rabbit.

<deleted> is happening to the 'other' last word thread? Opened and closed by mods!
Favouritism - TLW
A "13 thousand Plus Poster" like yourself, knows the rules and the hierarchy around these hallowed halls.
I think we should leave the last word to Nicely-Nicely, from the musical "Guys & Dolls"
"Sit Down, sit down, sit down, you're rockin' the boat".....

I really quite enjoyed the game and what atmosphere - they take their football following pretty seriously in that neck of the woods - I wished I could have watched it without the Thai commentary and just the stadium noise.
Well done "Scholesy" - you made amends for last weekend's indiscretion, take a break old son, we've enough talent to see off City this Sunday.

Am I right in saying this ruling doesn't apply to League & F.A. Cups, and thus teams will be able to field teams with other players rather than the 25 nominated squad ?
Not sure ken. I hope so, cos we're going to have a busy time next year, in the Champions League and defending both the FA and League Cups that we're gonna win this year
Have you been smoking those date palm leaves again in that hookah of yours ?.........
Which probably accounts for the 5 star rating this topic has,,,,,,,,,,,

Send Simon43 a PM, he has built his own, at that time, in Phuket and from memory, the end result was pretty good value.
I think you'll find that whilst having the costs for opening a small resort, Simon 43 will probably warn you it's the owning of the hotel that is the worry, as he has had to walk away from his investment, due to his wife's "illness".
Be very careful, and check everything before proceeding would be my advice.

Real disappointing this, True visions just doesn't seem worth the monthly bill anymore. What next no EPL games.
Which is why I did some sums a couple of years ago and consequently canceled my UBC/True subscription. My thought behind it, was for nearly 1500 baht per month it wasn't worth it, when all I was using it for was watching football.
The Thai channels 3 & 7 have always shown the Champions leagues games live, and I can cope with the Thai commentary (the players names are always the same - and there are some naff British commentators anyway) The Premier League matches are always shown in all my local bars and I can view what games I like with a bunch of fans (be they Thai or westerners who enjoy a good game just for the fun of it and even join in their (unofficial ) predictions game.
If all else fails I can still watch nearly any game I want via streaming - It may not be perfect quality but it's fine by me who grew up on gas driven radio commentaries by Kenneth Wolstenholme.
Sorry True you just don't give value for money.
Here endeth the rant...........
P.S. I do actually have cable TV and get some Champions League games in English, but one never knows who or what is coming, as it's a mixture of channels from S.Africa and someone seems to decide on the night what is going to be screened in Thailand...

Put your hands together for Vera Lynn :-
Dame Vera Lynn has become the oldest living artist in the world to have a number one album after she beat The Beatlles to the top of the charts
The 92-year-old has now usurped Bob Dylan as the oldest artist to grace the number one position after her album We'll Meet Again - The Very Best of Vera Lynn went straight to the top of the charts.
Her album outsold artists including the Arctic Monkeys, Jamie T and the Kings of Leon, and beat The Beatles' much-hyped remastered editions.
