Why am I still so angry about last night?

[Sean Thornton]

Interesting. Football is an emotional game, and lifelong commitment to one team is an emotional commitment. I enjoy the fact that it is not real life. Particularly under floodlights, the whole world is contained on the pitch for 90+ minutes, and you can let emotions show. Controlled emotions, preferably, but joy, anxiety, anger, gloom, hope, etc. can all come along in one game (as on Friday), and the world outside does not matter. When you get back to life outside, the emotion is still there, but less raw, and less important than real life. I have justified inflicting my love for United on the next generations of HBTs with my philosophy of life: 'If you can cope with supporting United, the rest of life is easy'. It's the glory-hunters, who switch from Chelsea to Real Madrid to Man City, that I feel sorry for.

I was pissed off and annoyed too. It didn't affect anyone around me. I suspect that's the way with most rather than it being the be all and end all. Sweeping generalisation.

double trouble when you found them in her dildo!
Nah i'm just kidding!...But did you find them there?

Think I finally sussed what pissed me off today - the match brought back too many memories of the Adkins and Clough eras!

Agree! But there is one big difference, before we'd go out for one game do it and lose (or draw), Edwards would be on the radio saying, 'if we continue to play like this, we'll be there or there abouts at the end of the season.' Next game we'd be shite. Now, the next game we'll turn up again and eventually the ball will start hitting the net.

Trafford - I'm the same pal, and I'll try and explain it as I see it...

1. Sky builds it up as a top of the table clash of two sides who are overachieving. It's a close cut thing, too close to call.
2. I'm feeling apprehensive, will we hold our own, we're missing a few key plays. I just know before kick off if we had those players, we could batter these and show that we mean business.
3. The game begins, we batter them. Absolutely batter them. The game hinges on the sending off, that is it. Before that, there was only gonna be one winner. The pundits in the studio; Andrews and Browny recognise this.
4. Hitting the woodwork loads, dominating possession, they are billed as being as good as us; they score one long ranger and a last minute winner. Sod off, they aren't anywhere near as good as us!
5. The fickle poncey match commentators (not those in the studio) show how plastic they are then, and this really gets my back up. Their fickle opinion changes as follows: First half they are talking up United, it's all United. Bristol score, it's all Bristol. Clarke scores, United are the best side, it's all United. Bristol score the winner "..and this Bristol City side just will not go away!" Oh, fuck off you fickle arseholes! They have offered nothing! Don't try and sum it up as if they have dominated. They were god awful.

Fucking infuriating, isn't it?

Direct from the Jim Watt school of fence sitting,whoever wins,he can go back and say " I told you the tide was turning"

Not just us feeling pissed off about it. Although I am expecting Mr Duffy to get a visit from the Grammar Police.

After his goal against Wednesday, Mr Duffy is exempt from any criticism about anything by anyone, ever!! Hope that makes sense. After several pints of Jaipur it makes sense to me. Not to mention the Brewdog Punk IPAs, Goose IPAs, Elvis Juice...........

What's that line from? I should coco has it as a tagline too.

Mr Barraclough says it in Porridge.

Took some finding and it's not even remotely the funniest bit. Still I can't be arsed to change my tagline so I'll stick with it.
