no, channel m is channel for manchester.

http://www.channelm.co.uk/tuningin.html

you can get it on sky and cable

apparently you can watch it on http://freetube.us.tc/ but i don't know what the delay is like on there.

probably best watching at www.fcum.tv if you are outside of manchester or on

just reading the chelsea programme.

hightlights so far.

Jose blaming the FA for scheduling the original game for FA Cup semi-final weekend when the gap would have been three points.

John Terry saying 'with our injuries and other problems we've done really well' followed up with 'no excuses'.

Nothing from Kenyon icon_frown.gif

Obviously the FA knew about the situation and they tried their best to hand us over the title so they scheduled the original game during the FA cup semi-final weekend and then have it delayed so that they come out scott free while also aiding our cause.

Fran, you always say you're not trolling but asking genuine questions, but surely it was blatantly obvious what the issues with that bit of 'journalism' were </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

No honestly not.

The exact lines which James quoted when he took offence was:

You've signed 3 "important players" in the last 2 years (who I guessed was Carrick/Vidic/+1),

Carrick cost $32m (he did didn't he?)

You've signed a club record $110m shirt deal with AIG (again, havn't you?)

Fair enough if you hate the Glazers, but I was reponding to the bit which said those things I have mentioned above was "so lazy and annoying" - but I thought those 3 things mentioned were true?

they said lazy, they didn't say they were lying, lazy implies they ignored several facts, which they clearly did, not that they made things up.

Haven't we been here before Fran?

It's really quite simple. You can't talk about the level of investment from a board by citing how much money has gone out on players, and just ignore how much has come in. It would be like someone saying spurs spent a fortune on players this summer, and ignoring the fact that the majority of their signings were financed through selling Carrick.

Since the Glazers came in i believe we've shown a net profit on transfers. The fact that we've got a manager who's managed to sell to buy to strengthen the squad this season is great, but you can't give the board credit for that. Equally, you can manage that over a season or maybe even two and still challenge, but when you're fighting for championships you have to invest. We've yet to see them do that. And regardless of what people thought of the PLC, the one thing they did do was continually plough the clubs money back into the playing side of the club. Yet the figures that we've seen on the level of debt repayment compared to income show us so far with a shortfall, not a surplus, so where is that investment going to come from long term?

The one time you were out of pocket was nothing to do with any of us. Was a favour you owed to a guy iirc.

guys what will you be doing after the game tomorrow? im prob going to head to trafford or blaize for a few hours but if a bunch of you are about i may come and say hello... </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

still planning on going somewhere for a few pints afaik. trafford and blaize will be a bit mental, we were looking at the tollgate, trafford park hotel, somewhere like that. probably easier to meet somewhere after the game and the decide en masse where to head.

Doubt it.

a) Our fans wouldnt stand for it because they'd want to see a good performance before lifting the Premiership

b) Fergie has said he'll treat the relegation battle with respect and won't do what Liverpool did

c) Our fans want to see you go down and Fergie knows it.
