Get over it. It's not the end of the world. Football is not important. End of.

Have you ended that statement with “end of” to deliberately parody the style used by many football supporters?

Somebody very talented once did a sub on that topic...

Colleague: Where did you watch the game last night?
Me: Ashton Gate
Colleague (looking puzzled): Where's that?
Me: Bristol City's ground
Colleague: You went to Bristol?
Me: Yes, shit game but better than watching TV.
Colleague: Was it on a big screen then?

At this point I just shook my head and walked away.

Father in law is a season ticket holder at Bristol City. Have said for 14 years I would go to a game but never happened until the end of last year. He got me a ticket for boxing days home game against watford. 14 years if waiting culminated in the game being delayed 15 mins then called off because of a torrential down pour and waterlogged pitch! Here's to waiting another 14 years

What a stupid question. Of course it was on a big screen. You're not all going to go to the Bristol City ground to watch the United match on a small screen are you? You could stay at home and do that.

Good grief - do they televise football nowadays?

Yet another reason why I'm glad I don't have a TV. There is enough tedious drivel about Soccer on the wireless.

Just a game? I'm pissing myself at Satan's team's hilarious exit, esp. since Tottenham old boy Luka Modric did the deed. Admittedly Franco's team isn't much of an improvement.

What happened, did they show up a fashionable two hours late and everyone had gone home?

I clearly don't understand much of this football stuff. Why are they called Manchester United when it seems that Manchester is divided into two diffferent teams?

And also, why does anyone give a flying fuck about anything at all to do with Manchester?

define 'to do with Manchester'.

I suppose there is the name and location of the stadium...after that, I'm struggling.

Manchester United is in Trafford which is part of the city of Salford. The real local Manchester team is Man City.

Most Mancunians support City, and most foreigners United.

In Liverpool, most Scousers support Everton regard Liverpool FC as some late, fly-by-night flash-in-the-pan well past their glory days.

Old Trafford is south of the ship canal which puts it in Manchester and this myth about all Mancunians supporting City is a load of bollocks. There are just as many United supporters. My God! I nearly dropped off there, talking about football.

Well they are both within the M60 so in my book are in Manchester. Much the same as anything inside the M25 is "London".
We have a football team in Shaftesbury. I've never watched them play but I have played boule against their club's team.

Is there any truth in the rumour that Liverpool are to produce a proper football team and join the Six Nations tournament as a 7th Nation?

What I find funny is united probably being fined because ferguson didn't talk to the press afterwards as demanded by uefa's contracts with sponsors and the media. You don't have to say anything if you're arrested but you do if you've just played a football match. Talk about selling your soul to the devil.

Trafford is part of Salford - that is priceless. Even now the good conservative denziens of Altrincham and Sale are having nightmares at the thought.

@BJ- anything north of Birmingham on the left is Manchester.

Much though everyone likes to think not, there are plenty of Man Yoo supporters in Manchester, it's about 50/50 between them and Citeh. Same on Merseyside between Everton and Liverpool and in N London between Arse and Tottenham. It's just that in each case the one that has been more successful down the years has attracted more glory hunters with no local connections.
