It was understandable why people fucked off early yesterday. I also think the conditions had an affect on the game and that's why it was so flat. It's OK having under-soil heating but that doesn't keep the muscles warm. It must've been below zero in the stadium yesterday and if it wasn't for the heating system in the pitch, a game could never/shouldn't really be played.
windchill of around minus 9 mate apparently ...... now thats fuckin cold !
That's cold. Our stadium design doesn't help either, it turns the place into a great big refridgerator.
There is no heating in the stands?
I have not been to a lot of european stadiums, in fact, went only to Bernabeu, and they have this things that heat the stands, from above, from the ceiling of the stands.

Weren't they experimenting with warmed seats a season or two ago? I vaguely remember something about it.

They have and they have implemented it in certain areas. Pity it's just for the posh folk though.

Went on the tour recently and the corporate seats are not only fully padded but they have the heated function for either your arse, back, or both.

We've made a small bit of headway I think, VK being on there etc. The media is awash with rags, scouse & London bias though, so it's going to take a lots of continued success in order to build up our influence. But that's what will happen anyway, so happy days.

warm beefy, i go jogging in colder weather!!!
i think the problem you have back home is the moisture in the air... it's always damp. I've just been for a long walk with my dog and whilst it is cold , the air is very, very dry.

Yes, totally different conditions. People whinging about it doesn't make it any better.

Got to say, the Etihad is the coldest stadium I've ever been in, it's like a wind tunnel. Always remember SP's swansong season for being simultaneously bored out of my mind and frozen half to death.

Agree 100%.....when me and my missus left KZ at Christmas it was minus 29 degrees and we were colder at the Etihad than we had been for weeks outside in those kind of conditions. Mental.

Mark Champan taking over MOTD2 - Big rag replaces Big dipper.
:
Colin Murray is to leave the BBC's Match Of The Day 2 programme at the end of this season, the BBC has announced.
The former Radio 1 DJ, who has presented the sports show since 2010, will be replaced by Mark "Chappers" Chapman, another ex-Radio 1 voice.
In a statement, the BBC thanked Murray "for his great contribution".
He will continue to play a "key role" in BBC output on 5 Live and across TV output for darts and American Football, it added.
Murray was named Music Broadcaster Of The Year at the Sony Radio Academy Awards in 2007 and made the transition from music to sport presenting from 2006 when he hosted the sports-themed panel show Fighting Talk on 5 Live.
Chapman, who made his name as a sports newsreader on Radio 1's Scott Mills show, has previously hosted Channel 5's Football Night and Final Score at the BBC.

I will be glad to see the back of Murray, I can't stand that man.

Agreed. But as Yffi points out, we get a rag in his place.

I don't know which one's worse. Chapman reminds me of Phil 'The Duncan Edwards' Jones having a peanut filled shit!

If Murray and Chapman didn't support the teams they support, I'd like them a lot more.

No you wouldn't mate. They'd be insignificant piss-ants who you wouldn't put out of their misery if their legs had been pulled off.

In light of Beefy's comment I'd like to retract my previous statement. I hate them with all my might and would hate them more if they supported different clubs. Grrrr Grrrr!!!

I had no idea who Murray supported when I decided he was a knobhead - he was presenting an American Football programme on one of the other channels at the time.
