@El Loro posted:The Manchester derby on Saturday was decribed in the BBC report as "a dismal stalemate" and "devoid of quality and excitement" with the player of the match getting a rating of 5.38. Even though your side lost they had 3 players with better ratings.
agree wholeheartedly with that EL As a Manc I am a MU supporter - we go back in our family as supporters a long time but have to agree -(BTW hate man city with a vengeance lol) - Manchester united need a new manager IMO - love Ore as a person but we need someone with more experience and for the Glaziers and wood ward to go
Good morning everyone it's a wet windy and cold morning. Most definitely a day for staying in the warm.
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning everyone
A wet morning here.
Moonie, I thought your team might get a point yesterday and they did
Just have a look at BBC's ratings for each player for both sides - Man City 3.59 to 4.69, your side 7.24 to 9.20 so about double that of City.

Ros, the problem for Man U is that the CEO is an accountant and investment banker.
I hope everyone has a good day

I was quite surprised to be honest El. A point from a game against a team like Man City is great
We rated well
Good morning everyone
Itâs cold wet and windy here. Looks set for most of the day too
Washing and drying to do today but no chance of putting it outside
Yogi, I hope you slept better than you have the last few nights
Have a great day everyone

How ironic El, the Baggies have sacked Slaven Bilic and Sam Allardyce is set to be appointed as our new manager...no comment...

I heard on the radio this morning about a rumour that he was about to be sacked.
No comment...
Apparently Allardyce has cancelled his weekend media commitments...........

Not yet announced as manager but seems likely

Another dreich day with heavy rain in the afternoon.
Thanks everyone, I got 6 hours sleep last night. Unfortunately, it was between 8.30pm and 2.30amð
Mr Y was also awake during the night because he had toothache. Fortunately he had an appointment with the dentist today so got it sorted.
Have a good evening, goodnight and sweet dreams
Yogi, I hope your normal sleep pattern returns very soon I'm glad Mr Y managed to get his toothache sorted out quickly

Weather has been wet and miserable so I stayed indoors.
Good for that postie, adding a bit of cheer while raising some money.
Dud anyone see the 80year old postie on BBC Breakfast the other day? Heâs the oldest working postie and seemed such a nice chap.
I hope youâve all had a good day

EL the first one was horrible but the others were quite pretty
night yogi moonsie
Good morning everyone it's going to be a very wet day today and pretty much the same for the next few days, stay dry everybody.
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning everyone
Rained overnight here, dry at present, lots more more to come for the rest of today and tonight, some of the rain likely to be very heavy. No weather warning but there is for areas to the west of here.
Moonie, I hope the pain in your arm had lessened so that you got a better night's sleep
I hope everyone has a good day
The other night I happened to come across on the red button on my television a programme by Radio 1 of songs which had been used in films associated with Christmas. Extremely variable, some watchable, some not. It included Bill Nighy in "Christmas is all around" taken from "Love Actually" - never seen that film, but I found that Bill Nighy song revoltingly sleazy.
The most memorable song was Pentatonix's version of the old carol "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen". Apparently it was used in the 2018 version of "The Grinch" Pentatonix is an American a cappela group. Here's their officia video:
The man in the middle is Mitch Grassi whose voice is a tenor and at times close to what is called a counter tenor - that's the highest natural male voice rather than a falsetto.
