    I didn't see any of the game last night, did anyone? Adelaide smashing Newcastle 5-2!

    Yep! Was surprising to watch to say the least! When it went 3-1 Newcastle seemed to turn off. The red card didn't help. 

    Confidence-boosting win for Adelaide considering a 1-0 loss would have taken them out of the top 6! Sends a message to the rest of the teams around them as well I guess.

    That's on the same level as "I'm deleting my facebook" or the good old cryptic cliffhanger posts aka "life sucks",  "why?..." or "so over it..." on FB that scream of attention seeking and nobody knows what the fuck is going on xD 

    yep!

    And with those posts on FB, you'll get people showing care/offering help which is fine but then they're told 'oh it's nothing, don't worry about it' xD

    I can see that that's banter so I'm not falling into your trap. Shame the same can't be said about you and @Blue.

    stating the facts.

    Father was born in the Main Stand at Goodison, it's in my DNA mate.

    nice.

    I bet he can tell the difference between purple and red though.

    Mate just text me saying that all of his batteries have gone walk about and his alarms going off. Told him that I've got some at my house so he's going to borrow them. 

    Don't know how long the car ride will be from Leicester like but I hope it's not woken anyone.

    I'm not in Leicester but nice try ;)

  6. Never usually up at this time unless it's for emergencies or something planned. So I'm fucking annoyed I've been woken up by an alarm 20 minutes ago and it's still going on. 

  7. Improvements in the pipeline for Old Trafford's atmosphere...

    Quote

     

    Song sheets and continental-style 'cheerleaders' with megaphones are among the ideas being discussed in an effort to improve the atmosphere at Manchester United's home games.

    Manager Jose Mourinho has previously said that Old Trafford is too quiet.

    The club were asked at a recent fans' forum if song sheets could be distributed at the turnstiles.

    United said they would look into the idea, although it is highly unlikely to be implemented.

    Meanwhile, the Premier League club will provide fans with a "full update" in May on the potential for having a women's team.

    United have received intense criticism for their failure to field an adult women's side, at a time when local rivals Manchester City, plus Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool, all have teams at the top end of the Women's Super League.

    The Old Trafford club say the idea remains "under review at a high level of the club".

    At the fans' forum, United said a women's team "isn't something that can happen overnight". They cite staffing and facilities as specific issues.

    However, it is understood a women's side is part of the discussion around potential development of United's training site at the Cliff in Salford.

    Fans' groups are apparently looking into whether it would be possible to replicate the atmosphere at grounds in countries such as Germany and Italy, where crowd involvement is 'conducted' by supporters with megaphones, backed by other fans with instruments.

    United did introduce a singing section in the north-east corner of the ground but it has not made a significant improvement.

    Both the club and fans' groups felt the situation was far better on Saturday, when the singing section was moved to the south-east corner of the stadium for the FA Cup quarter-final with Brighton.

    However, this is the area normally reserved for away supporters and it is felt moving that section for league games is impractical given the number of season ticket holders in other parts of the ground.

    Spoke to my daughter this morning and it turns out that the bloke under the balcony was a Polish teenager who they believe committed suicide, only 18 with a bit of a history of self harm she was told.. She said the whole thing was horrible as they were unable to clean up properly due to the weather conditions and they were out there yesterday with salt trying to remove all the blood from the floor and the windows.. 

    Apologies if that's a bit over graphic for some but can't really find another way of saying it... Shame to think someone as young as 18 feels they have no worth or are so down they feel that's the only solution.. 

    very sad that. Suicide is terrible at any age but as young as 18 it seems to strike more of a chord.

    Don't know anymore than that really... It's possible that her fella may have known who he was as he lives there but these days you can live next door to someone or in the same block of flats and still not know who people are other than to say hello to in passing.. 

    tell me about it xD

    in my line of work I get a lot of complaints from people about their neighbours even though it could be completely unfounded just cos they don't like them but they've never spoken to each other before xD 

  10. You think she recognised him? 

    Pure speculation anyway but sad to hear of if he's just been left out in the cold after something has happened :(
