Bit of a moot point really.

9/11 was such a shocking spectacle because the two dominant towers of the world's most famous cityscape were razed to the ground by two passenger planes live on TV. I was 16 at the time and I'd never seen anything like it other than on shitty disaster films like Deep Impact. In fact, I haven't since. Think back to how you felt in the immediate aftermath of having witnessed that (especially if you watched the second plane hit live as I did). It was surreal beyond belief.

It's nothing to do with being more concerned by the deaths of Anglo-Saxons than Arabs, or whatever rant Fidel is about to go on now you've come out with that.

Wasn't meant as a pop at you. I was literally just saying.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

Didn't City play at Notts County that night, and wasn't there talk of calling it off but no one could get a decision so the game just went ahead?

Aldershot, being born in Guildford they were the closest League team. Never seen them live other than the exceptionally odd time they're on tele but always keep an eye out for their results.

Don't know mate. I was studying in Austria that year and wasn't really able to follow City much.

Just got back into work today after the summer break and found that my boss lost 36 of his family in the recent chemical weapons attack. Talk about being speechless

Anyway, I digress, shakers for me. When I was in the uk I would watch them if they were away from home and city weren't playing. For some reason I just can't get into watching them at home. Suppose going on the piss at an away day eases the boredom of the football at that level

My wife has some students of Syrian heritage as well. Horrible horrible situation.

Huddersfield. Just keep an eye on the scores and like to see them so well for themselves.

I remember the game now. Couldn't put it together with 9/11 at all though.

Huddersfield are my second team as I was born and brought up there and I go watch FC Halifax Town a few times a season as they are my local team.

I follow Donny Rovers cause Dicky is mgr. Ditto Brentford for Uwe and even Blackburn because Bowyer's lad runs the show there. Alty because I was born there and Macc because I live there. So I can't help having an interest in all sorts of lower league teams . Even the Scots league because of Nicky Weaver at Aberdeen.

So a thoroughly diverse crowd which comes and goes eg Exeter because of their spirited go at the scum a few years back.

Most of all my fav is any lower league team prepared to fuck over and injure any red twat so they can get their name in the Sunday papers.

I really do need to see a shrink.
