Manchester is....

[AF2]

coming to terms with the fact that the red side of the city is in footballing freefall, whilst the blue half is regenerating.

PS - Is this man the biggest idiot on the planet.

Are you really comparing rangers to the most notrious glory hunting fanbase in world football? Thought you were a bit brighter than that mate lol.

[TheMaraudingDog]

We may be glory hunters but at least we're not part timers

Bank of England pub is boarded up. Well, it was in the summer.

Seriously, you're welcome to that part of town. Lived there last year - New IsLOLington.

EDIT: Police dogs deployed as 200 united fans move towards asda instead of city centre.

This amuses me.

Maybe they heard snow was coming and they wanted to do some panic frying.

Or it was the first time that they'd been to Manchester and they weren't quite sure where they were.

He was being lined up for a decent job at the PFA when he'd finished playing. That's probably in jeopardy now.

Police believe they may have saved a player from being seriously injured after darts and golf balls were confiscated from Manchester United supporters before their club's Carling Cup semi-final first leg at Manchester City on Tuesday.

A number of missiles were thrown on to the pitch during the game but officers from Greater Manchester police's ­football unit believe the situation could have been worse had security officials not adopted stringent checks at the turnstiles.

Information had reached the police that United supporters planned to smuggle red flares into the ground, in order to ­interrupt a pre-match routine at Eastlands in which the lights are turned off and a giant image of a blue moon is flashed into the stadium. Two flares were lit but several ­others were discovered during rigorous body checks that stopped a large number of fans ­getting into the stadium before kick-off. More seriously, several supporters were caught trying to smuggle darts, golf balls and other weapons into the ground.

Eighteen people were arrested – six home supporters, 11 United fans and one neutral.

[Toon Toon Blue army]
