Oh Manchester, so much to answer for……..

Nothing and no-one ever progressed by happily slapping itself on the back and telling it how good it was.

As Paul McCartney is living testament 😉

At last something we can all agree on

All together now:

Shut up, Hora

Two of the finest examples of genius lyric writing ever recorded

Seconded, but then Pulp kick the bobbins out of pretty much anything, London or otherwise. I was slightly irritated that I had to trek all the way down to London village when I went to see them earlier this year. Interestingly Jarvis identified Pulp as a London band at that gig, as that’s where all their most famous songs were inspired and written.

Cat, pigeons, pigeons, cat…

Junkyard – I used to work on Flesh nights. The things I’ve seen, no man should ever witness. There are Nam veterans less traumatised 😯

And, yes…. shut it Hora!!! 😀

I went out in Camden for 7yrs. I’m qualified to talk on the subject 😉

the greatest band in the world “The Wedding Present” were formed in Leeds

Ha! Wedding Present aren’t even the best band to come out of Leeds!

“The boy Gedge has written some of the best love songs of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Era. You may dispute this, but I’m right and you’re wrong!” John Peel.

I agree WHISN but gutted to hear that he is MUFC 🙁

The things I’ve seen, no man should ever witness.

Bet you got staff toilets though never forgot the time …..actually best not go there

Good nights we shall talk of this next time we meet

the city in england with the least amount of football heritage

Come again?

Well, I think we can call that a win for Chickentown then.

Technically speaking Camden shouldn’t be in London.

Like, WTF…? 😕

At last something we can all agree on

All together now:

Shut up, Hora

This, I cannot argue with. 😐

What I love about Pulp, is that they are that rare and beautiful thing; Northerners what love London. 😀

They have embraced it’s wondrous magnificence. So too, can you.

Come again?

the city in england with the least amount of football heritage

Sorry still not getting it, can you SPEAK UP?

He’s right. Wigan, Bolton or Blackburn have more footballing heritage than London

That’ll be London – the capital city whose football teams have never won a European title. And never will 😛

^^^ this

Is that all you have? Such a narrow minded perspective to focus on one thing alone, still if it makes you happy..

no i have a wide perspective. the knowledge that football’s home is northwards of a line roughly 100 miles above london is just a small fact that forms part of it.

the reason that the midlands was not chosen as the site for the new national stadium was because the govt. minister for keeping things in london declared that the midlands had no obvious football heritage 😆

of course football fans know the truth.

Is that all you have?

What? 3 European Cups? Not really. There was the small matter of 19 league titles and 11 FA cups too 😉

What was wrong with this place? I thought what a maddening waste of money and London-centric/southEast viewpoint.

What was wrong with this place

it’s in wales

😯

Is it me? Or is the Millennium in Wales?

You thinking about the O2 perhaps?

Manchester 2nd finest after the ‘Roses…

Aye it is- Im referring to the choice of location for the ‘National’ stadium.

and Manchester’s 2nd Finest with Manchester’s, erm, not sure what number…

Aye it is- Im referring to the choice of location for the ‘National’ stadium.

Millennium’s not the national stadium for the UK – only for Wales.

I think the one you’re thinking about is Wembley.

Hmmm good point chaps.

Wheres that 808 state vid with the lasers over the crowd etc? (In yer face?)- cant find it anywhere… mind you its been a while.

Happy memories of hazy doves-fuelled nights in the GMEX there Trev 😀

Birmingham? Are you for real???

You have a perspective as wide as a gnat’s chuff.

Remind me again how many World Cups have bin won in the West Midlands…

And remind me again which club Moore, Hurst and Peters played for?

Six players in that squad played for London clubs. Remind me again how many played for West Midlands clubs?

of course football fans know the truth.

You’re obviously not a football fayn, are you? Which sports do you like?

If this is all true Fred, why do you support Liverpool then eh? Surely West Aaaaaarm or the Arse would be more appropriate? 😉

Shh…

What? 3 European Cups? Not really. There was the small matter of 19 league titles and 11 FA cups too

More than a few of those in London too I think..

To be honest with you mate, I didn’t think you’d possibly resist the bait of European title successes. 😀

a few? Numbers please? I’m just talking about Man Yoo. They’ve bagged a few at the other end of the M62 as well. As Fred is presently trying desperately to resist pointing out 😉

London has 19 of which 13 are arsenal so less than manchester and liverpool if you count both clubs
Northern teams dominate and to argue otherwise is pointless

Tis a little strange that someone who is so pro london supports Liverpool.
I guess a lot of boys that grew up in the late 70’s and 80’s made that choice because Liverpool were winning European trophies. That’s a proper “fayn”.

Hey his father gave him the team and he is as scouse as they come 😉
He still supports them now they are shit [ that is a compliment and a defence of you Fred,honest]
Leave it he is a proper fan if a tad biased on the footy threads.

Truth is though, that Liverpool and Man U have won more trophies between them (80!)than all the London clubs combined. 😯

I still think London has a decent footy heritage though. Arsenal and West Ham were founded from workers teams, many great players have come from London and/or played for London clubs, and you can’t ignore the significance of Wembley as an international sporting venue.

Dunno why that west Midlander what defected to the West Country is getting involved for though. He ought to be quiet really. Oh he is…

Maybe he’s trying to work out how many World Cups have bin won in the West Midlands. If he was a football fayn, he’d of course know this. Oh whell.

Hey his father gave him the team and he is as scouse as they come

Nah, mum’s family hailed from Merseyside. Not that I need to defend my reasons for my actions to anyone on here, mind…

Any London clubs look like they’re going to even get a sniff at the title this year? Its a two horse race. The two clubs being from………..
