Not bragging about my knowledge of the reds here smackie (okay, I am)…but I think if you go deep into the archives of this board you'll find more than a few comments that I've made praising Ole and wondering why he's a bench warmer…and didn't I say in the Dubliner that we really don't need another striker because we've got Ole!! huh, huh, huh? ;)
Is smackette speaking to you yet?

I'm just reaffirming you're already brilliant remarks, my friend. Last night after he scored I jumped around and repeated the "and Solksjaer has won the European Cup for Manchester United…Manchester United Rule Europe…the Munich players are on their knees…they don't know what's hit them…Manchester's hit them!" which got a smile out of Smackette and she's finally talking to me again.

When I got home last night the brother-in-law and his family had arrived, so there they are, My missus, the bro'in law and his wife, sat at the table sipping on the old booze chatting away. I opened the fridge door to grab some water and was greeted by a shelf full of the old mad apple. "Oh dear" I thought to myself, "here we go again"…and I was right! :D
Are you going to make any United games with the move and all?

Last night was the first night in a little over a week that I didn't get completely drunk, though I suspect that I'll catch back up in no time tonight. I feel all the better for it this morning.
I have now moved myself right out of both coasts for United. I had that ticket to LA in case we were back before the 27th and had tickets to Philly in case were still here on the 3rd and as it turns out I leave the East on the 2nd thus missing every opportunity to see United in the States.
The only saving grace is that I get to watch the Philly game with my United friends in LA who I haven't seen in years, but that's hardly the same as seeing them live.
The good news is the first time I see United will still be at Old Trafford someday, which makes sense in a really bizaar kind of way.

You can get those little soccerball keychains, and "I Love Soccer" t-shirts and Umbro shorts. Pretty hot stuff. Don't forget to snag the soccerball candy corn.

Actually, I've had to relinquish control over decorating the bedroom due to my recent absences - there goes the quilt and bedsheets. So I get the office which as a man I can do a lot with and yes, there will be United paraphanelia everywhere. I was thinking of doing the Jeff Agoos type display of Jerseys from the sports section of a recent Wash Post.

The picture above doesn't show Mankie's favorite poster, which he has affixed on the ceiling above his bed:

I thought about it but had already copied the photo so couldn't be arsed changing it. Anyway, weren't the Wedding Present around more than 3 years ago, so most board members would never have heard of them.

Exactly! All of the Premiership/FA Cup action without the cover charge is worth it.
