    Bronski Beat had an official record with Small Town Boy...

    Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry
    Cry, boy, cry
    You leave in the morning with everything you own in a little black case
    Alone on a platform, the wind and the rain on a sad and lonely face
    Mother will never understand why you had to leave
    But the answers you seek will never be found at home
    The love that you need will never be found at home
    Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
    Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
    Pushed around and kicked around, always a lonely boy
    You were the one that they'd talk about around town as they put you down
    And as hard as they would try they'd hurt to make you cry
    But you never cried to them, just to your soul
    No, you never cried to them, just to your soul
    Run away,…

    You have no idea how crass it sounds when someone of my generation hears someone from the present generation talking numbers, I see it every day and if you take the electronic calculator and computer away they are lost , don't take my word for it just repeat your tables from two to twelve and see how long before you hesitate

    See I told you !!!!!!!!!!!

    Funny you should say that, I remember my mate Aristotle saying

    So to summarise:
    1) another dramatic collapse by Sunderland conceding 2 goals in the last 4minutes of a game
    2) three games played and no wins - sounds familiar
    3) a safety incident that would probably get your ground closed now
    4) legend - a story from the past that is believed by many people but cannot be proved to be true

    Not if you exclude the half a million people that witnessed it, you certainly cannot ask the two people who died

    So now there were half a million people who witnessed it - they presumably got them all to count the 100000 and then averaged their answers did they? Of course you can't ask the two people that died. Pretty unfortunate choice of words in the article though -" ........ and at the end of the night 2 people had died. It was hysterical".

    I do genuinely hope that Fredor is one of 'us' having a laugh as a fake Mackem. That would be funny. But if it turns out he's the 'real deal', then it's actually kind of sad. Still funny, but sad.

    Do you mean Manchester Utd? The same Manchester Utd we played in January of this year? The same Manchester Utd we played twice during last season and didn't lose to?

    I know they say that short term memory is the first thing to go when you get older, but thought even you could manage the last 12 months?

    You mean like Juventus, Roma, Barcelona, Inter Milan, PSV, Feyenoord, Marseilles, Fenerbahce, Benfica, Sporting Lisbon? Teams we've played in Europe within the last 20 years during our frequent appearances?

    Stop confusing him by naming teams and places most mackems have never heard of. It's hard enough for him as it is trying to distinguish between fact and fiction.

    But I'm sure he can dream of places like that - because dream is all he can do.

    Whereas we've actually lived that dream....

    All part of history of course, but that's all good, because that's Freddie boy's "Safe Space" for those times when current events are too much for the poor little poppet
