We are home, thanks anyway LR.

Unlike certain supporters of other clubs who need to do a lot better if they're going to be successful winding anyone up :o))

BTW, he's a clever boy is our Bobby. We can't.

All depends how you read the word expect. All he's saying is we don't take it for granted, like some might :-)

It's easy enough for your lot to win the league LR, you don't have to go play Newton Heath at Old Trafford. ;-)

I take it the West Ham game was one of those you took for granted, I mean you scored 10 past them last year and threw away a 2 goal lead this season. OOPS.

-- Anonymous, September 07, 2000

Kegsy....you don't know how wrong you are...from one that was there at Upton Park I can tell U that we did not deserve to be two goals ahead. West Ham were well worth a point that day.

Now what you wanted to hear"..We woz robbed...wer ran out of time..the ref was a cntu"...ok??

That last paragraph was better LR more akin to what we have come to expect!

Seriously, you seem to be deflated regarding your team this year? After romping to the title last season is everything a bit of a let down? Defence worrying you with severe tests in the Champions League to come? Transfer market in limbo means the Plc won't sanction a big buy? Worried?

How did the Reds play against Bradford LR?

-- Anonymous, September 07, 2000

LR, you forget, I live in Japan and so have the fortune (blugh) of seeing almost all of your games, I saw that one and thought that you were very lucky, especially to score the second after so much West Ham pressure. But the point being, your players would have probably thought that 'the opposition is kak'

-- Anonymous, September 07, 2000

I am worried DB...that team we put out against Bradford wasn't Fergie being clever..it was forced upon us...ok, Greening, Wallwork, Fortune and Sylvestre did ok...but usually TWO of those four are a feckin' liability. We have got serious defence problems..and although Fabian is cool...he's at times too cool...he's gonna get lobbed. chipped and walked around more than once this season.

Yeah, we romped to the title but I seriously don't think that was all down to us being that good...the opposition faded away when playing other teams...and THAT'S cak!! :-)

Smiler....me MURDERED Bradford with a second string outfit mate...honest.

Kegsy...WRONG again. And I'l tell U why. The other night we were 5 (FIVE) goals ahead of the mighty Bradford....and with the Stadium half full a certain David Beckham....arrogant, petulant and obnoxious all rolled into one....was still fighting for every ball like a tiger..and he got his reward with a sweet goal. Ya see here at The Theatre of Dreams, the Wizard wil NOT allow his players to get complacent and show the opposition little respect. It's the fans that actually get complacent ..and it's only human nature....especially if you've had 10 years like we have

Well I was just trying to make excuses how the great Manchester United could manage to throw away a two goal lead with just four minutes to play. I mean, it couldn't possibly be because you're not as good as you think is it.....

-- Anonymous, September 07, 2000

Kegsy..it's got feck all with people like you assuming what U think we think....but it DOES have an awful lot to do with the fact that we PISSED the title by 18 points mate, on the back of a Treble!!

If you owned a Ferrari, you'd EXPECT to be the fastest car on the road everytime yes?...but every once in a while you'll forget to fill the fukcre up.....

Neh, neh-nee, neh neh!!!!! We`re top - you`re not!!!! Says she, pointing, sticking her tongue out, then girlishly giggling. Exits stage right accompanied by the clicking of high-heels!!! Tee-hee- hee!!!

Sorry, LR, I had to do it while I had the chance!(;o)

"accompanied by the clicking of high heels"?..why, is Gav following you then?

So what you're saying LR is that you are the real Escort XR3i in the scummy estate and some others are kit cars made out to look like XR3i's and some are just plain old Escorts.

I think what Kegsy is hinting that you think you've got genuine XR3i but somebody has just done a very good job with some non-genuine parts which don't have the quarantee that comes with buying original parts from a reputable dealer. No,oh well maybe not then!

Next week, how to spot a fake classic the Juggernaut, looking at one fine example the Sad Mackem Bastard.

LR - don`t notice any difference myself - `dizzy` is my natural state anyway!(;o)

Well it would be wouldn't Galaxy...yer a bird!!

DB...would that be a juggernaut with a wheel missing then? :-)

-- Anonymous, September 07, 2000

LR, to continue the theme.

That Juggernaut cruised into town without any air brakes but by Xmas the mechanic named Monkey Heed had managed to fix the brakes and well and truly apply them. He's bought some new parts but the Unit from up the road seems to be running smoothly now with all the wheels fully tightened on and the juggernaut can't cope and is spluttering.

You should see them on the readytogo board, they are really panicking and calling for Monkey Heed's......Heed!! SMB's
