MAN UTD KEEP THEIR BRITISH RECORD
Last weekend Elgin City in Scotland failed in their bid to take Man Utd’s British record for the worst start to a season.
After ten straight defeats Elgin won 5-0 to end their brave bid to take the record that all ManUre fans hate and most won’t admit they have.
The record for the worst start to a season doesn’t appear on their web site in the “honours” section but then neither does the fact that they won the second division the season after relegation in 1974!
It’s just as well those of us who don’t support the Salford Rednecks don’t have Selective Memory Syndrome (SMS) and are able to remind them of their British record.
“Lest we forget”!
 Steve Bennett (Referee?) has refused to resind Xabi Alonso's second yellow against ARSE nil. Bennett (inset, officiating at a recent BSE contest) is reported to have said that the Alonso incident was a "professional slip" and therefore intended to deceive the offical into looking the other way at the time of the infringement. It is also suggested that the reaction of the Highbury crowd influenced the Ref's deceision. This has also been dismissed on the grounds that the only noise came from the one hundred and fifty season ticket holders that were all hit by the same pound coin allegedly thrown by Jamie Carragher a few years ago.

Maths
made easy with Manchester United
From The Official MUFC Maths Workbook, which
covers sums for practising Key
Stage Two maths for 7-11 year olds. This has
been introduced as part of the
Government's maths campaign.
1. Wayne is 78 yards away from the referee at Old Trafford and Gary is 65
yards away. If Wayne can run at 21mph and Gary can run at 16mph, who will be
sticking their vein-bulging forehead into the
hapless whistler's face first,
assuming Wayne does not stop to stamp on an opponent on his way.
2. If one minute of time is taken up in a game
for substitutions and one
minute for injuries, how much injury time will
be added on by the referee if
Man Utd are losing at home?
3. Ryan is a Welshman. Express, as a
percentage, the number of
internationals he has missed on a Wednesday
evening compared to the
miraculous recoveries he made for the following
Saturday.
4. Manchester United are one of the giants of
world club football. How many
more European Cup Finals have they appeared in
than Steaua Bucharest?
(For one extra mark; How many more than Reims?)
4a. How many more times have Manchester United
won the European Cup than
Nottingham Forest?
5. Phil Neville has 30 international caps. If
you take away the number of
appearances when he was the only adult male in England who could just about
kick the ball with his left foot, how many are
left?
6. You are the referee at Old Trafford. How
near to a visiting defender does
a tumbling Ruud van Nistelrooy have to be to
earn a penalty if he goes down
in the box? (Note: Round your answers down to
the nearest 20 yards.)
6a. Probability. Express the statistical
probability of visitors to Old
Trafford ! being awarded a penalty. Compare
this with the probability of
opponents of Manchester United being awarded a
penalty home or away, and
then discuss if a penalty awarded! to
Manchester United would be awarded to
their opponents in identical circumstances.
7. Mark "The Red" lives in Guildford. How much
does it cost for him and his
two sons to travel to the Theatre of Silence
every other weekend, including
limited edition matchday programme, a few
drinks and prawn sandwiches all
round? How much could he save per week if he
watched his local team instead?
(Note: Round your answers down to the nearest
thousand pounds).
8. Alex had a hotel room booked in Paris for the Champions League Final. How
much money did he lose when cancelling his
reservation?
9. Ruud is 6ft tall and very strong and fast.
How much pressure need be
applied to make him tumble over in the
opponents penalty area? (Note:
Answers must be in lbs per square inch.
However, answers such as, 'However
much pressure is applied by Ferguson to referees' are accepted.)
10. Alex has won it 1 time, Bob has won it 3.
Alex has one, Bob does not.
What am talking about? Explain your answer
(because nobody else can).
11. Rio is a very
lazy boy and often goes missing. Alex is very cross and
wants to sells him. If Rio cost £29m
to buy, how much do you think Alex sold
him for? How many pennies did Alex lose? For an
extra mark convert your
answer to dollars for explaining to Malcolm
"the leprechaun" Glazer.
12. What is the total number of chickens
counted before they were hatched by
Manchester United and their supporters who
thought Benfica were a pushover.

Ties to be played on weekend of 18 February.
What a game, I wish all games could be like this one. Two teams that had nothing on their minds
except winning a game of football. Luton owned the first
half Liverpool the second.
Luton raced into a three goals to one
lead and they deserved it.
The Reds lead
via a Gerrard cross shot that flew into the net and as Rafa Benitez said after
the game, they thought it was going to be easy at that point. Wrong! Luton played
really well at times and exposed Carragher and Hyypia to some nice football.
Goals from Luton gave them a 2 - 1
lead before a complacent mistake from Hyypia left Carson
in goal unprotected. As the 'keeper raced off his line the Luton Town striker
stepped on Carson's foot (outside the box) but the referee was probably right
to award a penalty as he doesn't have the aid of a replay.
A penalty saved from Cisse, predictable, for as usual he
went for power rather than placement left Luton in
control.
Benitez sent on super sub Pongolle and up he popped with two
well taken goals. Xabi Alonso hit a
dipping shot from thirty yards in between the Pongolle strikes and then, as the
Luton 'keeper joined his team mates for an stoppage time corner, the ball broke
to him and after rounding the 'keeper he shot from SIXTY yards to make it 5 - 3
to Liverpool.
I wish football could be like this all the time. An astonishing match, pure entertainment All we need now is a DVD featuring this game,
the 2005 Champions League final, the 2001 5 - 4 UEFA Cup final victory over
Alaves and the two Premiership 4 - 3 wins over Newcastle and it would make some
viewing! (OH, and a carryout!)
Well, 60 of our members, young and old, are off to Anfield
this weekend for the clash with Spurs. If it is 30% of the match against Luton
it will be fine!
A review of
The Long
and Winding Road to Istanbul.
Where were you in 77 Or 78?
Or 81 & 84? Where you even
born? Have you had to listen to the
misty eyed reminisces of the Grey Hairs that argue about what was the best
final? The first win, in the Eternal City when Mighty Mouse ran Bertie Vogts ragged and then
left us for Hamburg? The second
win, when surely the greatest Red of them all, King Kenny scored the winner at
Wembley? The third, when Barney Rubble
broke the hearts of Real Madrid in Paris? Or the fourth
and back to Rome, Grobbelaar's wobbly legs and Barney Rubble's winning
penalty breaking Roman hearts?
For those that attended all
or even some of the finals, then good luck to you, I applaud you all. Unfortunately, like many thousands of others
I wasn't at any of the finals, having to make do with the TV. But what wonderful memories I have of each
final and now as a Grey Hair myself, it was my duty to pass on these reminisces
and to educate this generation of Reds fans! (Eds note; this is turning into
The Long And Winding book review), sorry about that but you know what it's like
when you reminisce?
Anyway, like myself, the
main character of the book; Mickey McGuire is a life long Red but unlike me,
Mickey never got to see any of the finals by attending them or even seeing them
on TV. Like Mickey, my formative years were the late seventies and early
eighties, whereby massive unemployment was the norm and Maggie Thatcher was
(and still is) a figure of hate. Teenage
years of uncertainty; would I get taller, would I find a job, would I get
picked for the footie team, would I get the girl, would I get taller?
Through all of this turmoil
one thing kept you going, Liverpool Football Club!
Shear and unadulterated love, better than
teenage angst, better than the school beauty that shot you down in front of
your mates at the school disco (honest I don't hold a grudge, the bitch),
through all of this (and more), Liverpool kept you sane. (Ed, reminiscing
again!!) But; and now I'm back on track,
Mickey McGuire faced up to all of this and then some.
His true love of all things LFC would be
tested and by helping out his older brother on the evening of our first final,
Mickey would begin a journey of many pitfalls, lost love, lost career and
ultimately maybe even losing his life.
Mickey's life takes on many
misadventures and goes into a tailspin, careering out of control. Like many of us, he saw a few false dawns
along the way and almost gave up hope but by December 2004 and the Olympiakos match,
things were beginning to stir. His long
lost loves; Liverpool and the girl of his dreams are both heading towards
a climatic end of season by the Bosphorus.
Mark Frankland has delved
into the souls of Reds fans everywhere, he conjures up a journey of a young
lads passion and the pitfalls that can occur through bad judgement or just bad
luck.
He, relates to many of the things
that befell our generation and of the hopes we had and were dashed,
unemployment, miners strikes, migration of the populace, whole industries wiped
out and nothing to replace them, only despair.
All of this was made bearable whereby on Saturday afternoons the Reds
would let you forget your woes.
Frankland encapsulates all
of this and more, his reminisces are all the more entertaining by the way he
wraps the life struggle of Mickey McGuire around the journey many of us have
taken into adulthood and our sometimes blind devotion to LFC. He brings all this to an unforgettable climax
on surely the greatest night (of many great nights) for Liverpool FC.
A very entertaining read, that gallops
headlong towards the Attaturk stadium in Istanbul and redemption.

 This is a certificate we received along with the local Man Utd Supporters club that we share Biddy Duffys' Bar with. Between the two Supporters clubs we raised £1,000.00 for the N.I. Childrens Hospice, two years ago we raised a similar amount for PAPA a local Autism charity. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of both Supporters Clubs who helped raise this fantastic amount. We will be adding the photos of the cheque presentation soon and also the photos of our 3-0 demolition of the Broadway Branch in a recent charity match. Many thanks to the Broadway Liverpool Supporters Club for giving us a great day out in the Roddy's and for going easy on us in the match. We would like to add our congratulations to the Broadway Branch for their fund raising for the Belfast Childrens' Hospital. Thanks again lads.
 Presenting the cheque to Nuala Rodgers of Northern Ireland Hospice Care and Jim & Brian from the supporters clubs, also pictured is Margarite.
