Smashing lad Aaron, bright, enthusiastic and a Manc. Players like Fowler and Hasselbaink are the past Burns is the future. He deserves better than Cardiff who in my book are relegation material. Sooner or later the likes of West Brom or Wolves will come knocking and IMO that's when he should make his move. Don't sell yourself short Aaron.

No wonder he looks good playing at FC Utd "pub football" level. He will need to look fantastic if he wishes to continue at football league level especially playing for them lot.

Dukinfield Blue obviously an expert at "pub level"football having watched city for 31 years no doubt!

Bamber Bridge 3(1)-(0)0 FC United and the score does reflect the match. A goal keeping error lead to Brig's opening goal when Sam Ashton fumbled and dropped the ball which was pounced on by Brig. From that point onwards we were on the back foot. Brig were very organised in defence and they repelled every attack. Other than one bright spell before half time we were never really in it. In the second half FC conceded two early on and spent the rest of the second half chasing the game. In my opinion it was a fair result so no complaints. We play Bradford Park Ave at Gigg lane this Saturday and I think based on current form it's fair to say we will go in as underdogs with nothing to lose and everything to prove.

You can call your hamburger Filet Mignon, but it is still hamburger.

If FC United was actually a worthwhile venture, the club, its board and its supporters would not still be so obsessed with the Glazers.

Dwindling attendances, Stuart Brennan apparently the only voice of publicity for the club's propaganda campaign, and droves of their "supporter" going back to hunt for the 07-08 PL title.

It won't be over by Christmas, its been over for more than a year now. The word has not spread to the lowest common denominator yet. Free Red - It's over.

Daft Walnut and Dukinfield Blue, at last you've said something I agree with. Free Red, will the last one out please turn the lights off?

Walny you are a complete plank. I wonder why, given that you say F.C. has been finished for ages, are you so obsessed with us, in that you are always on here having a go. Personally, the only problem I have with Glazer is that I don't have his address, otherwise I would be sending him a Christmas card, as without him F.C. would not exist. Trust me pal, a worthwhile venture it most certainly is. Get it through your thick skull, there are thousands of reds now who simply CANNOT AFFORD to go to O.T. any more! I know plenty who have been forced to give up their season tickets purely on financial grounds. MUFC is unfortuinately part of a modern game which is driven totally by money, hence the foreign owners now at many clubs . If you Mr. Walny, are quite happy as a Manc to help pay the debts of an American billionaire, then that is up to you. If you are also content with being forced to buy cup tickets whether you want them or not, then good luck to you. No doubt you see yourself as loyal, but even loyalty has it's limits, quite often brought about by financial constraints. Face it, MUFC no longer encourage the traditional local support which has been there for generations. It makes much more sense financially to have Rupert from Surrey bring his family for the weekend, staying in the club hotel and spending a fortune in the Megastore. The local fan might come, buy a programme and a pint and that's it.Thankfully, at F.C. we are not a "Global Brand", and however many or few we are, we are all together and all equal. Simple fact - F.C. provides an alternative for those who just cannot afford Premiership prices. If we didn't go to F.C. we wouldn't be going anywhere. I personally spent 49 consecutive seasons at O.T. but am now having more pure enjoyment than I've had in years.

Dash our kid, it may not be a Filet Mignon, but sometimes there nowt as tasty as a good old juicy hamburger!!

Well put John stenson, I agree with everything you say.

Next up, FC UNITED v. BRADFORD PARK AVE. This league home match will be played at Gigg lane tomorrow Saturday 24 November 2007. This promises to be the match of the season so far with Bradford going into the match second in the league and FC third. Our first tie against Bradford was in the FA Trophy which finished 1-1 in controversial circumstances after Sam Ashton was charged down for allowing Bradford equalise. Bradford won the replay at Radcliffe so I think it's fair to say this is a bit of a grudge match. Viva la revolution, come on FC.

John stenson. Great post. Said it all.

PS MEN where's today's story about FC signing Danny Jarrett from Northwich Victoria?

Am I missing something with the FCUM thang? I totally agree that if you can't afford to go to OT then don't. But what about following the reserves games? They're played at OT, there's lots of local away reserves games, and the fans could still at least keep their heads high that they only support the one team?

Unfortunately it appears that Manyoo fans aren't that bothered about reserves games if their attendance at City reserves games is anything to go by. And there's also the Saturday morning youth games.

Why not just go to thee sort of games, costs next to nothing, and still be a proper fan of your club, rather than showing all the loyalty of a Bolton fan!

And I love the reasons for the support of the FCUM's... weren't these the reasons the bitters always spout? That they're "having a great time" even though they're winning nothing!

I give it another 12 months and the support will consist of hooli-grandads reliving the days of Pancho Pearson and kids who are forced to come along by self-same wrinklies!

The Bitters might not have won anything for 31 years, but I doubt the FCUM's will ever, EVER, win anything, so why bother?
