So they've tidied up Manchester a bit then

Tip for Man utd fans when you're next cooking dinner...
Some extra thyme's nice but you cant beat Basel.

Interesting that the buildings are only 'partly dented'...on another thread, photographs of true apocalyptic events have razed everything to the ground, or submerged it.
Artistic licence - bah humbug!

 

[marinyork]

Surely it is that bad as they may end up on Channel Five ?

Maybe the people who run the premiership will stop claiming it's the greatest league in the world now, something it's never been.

My thoughts exactly. In the wheel one, you can just imagine him merrily dashing away with the cloning tool in Photoshop. I could do that.

It all seems a bit lazy. And there's no vegetation. There would be buddleia all over the place, and grass, after any amount of time. It's certainly not 'left to decay for years'.

I see he's taken his cue from Hollywood, which is obvious - it's too neat and contrived. I guess making it look too real (World Trade Centre etc) would be considered tasteless, and showing nature taking over would dent the human ego too much.

And I see he's used pretty much the same 'feathering' at the destroyed edges, whether the structure is brick, stone, concrete or metal. Clearly knows nothing about building....

apparently there will be a new fragrance from ManU in the shops for the new year. Channel no 5

How to watch your team in Europe:
Arsenal & Chelsea - ITV & Sky Sports
Man City & Man Utd - Channel 5 & ITV 4
Liverpool - ESPN Classic

You can buy a football club but you can't make it win.

 

[potsy]

Lots of unhappy faces in work today
Most of them claiming 'not to be bothered' yeah right

 

[fossyant]

Plenty of smug City fans - why - they are out too ! Bitter and twisted !

 

[YahudaMoon]

Nice pics. Though it looked like that in the 80's before the IRA blown it to bits.

 

[brokenflipflop]

They were going to do the same with Salford's well-known locations......but there aren't any !

The best night ever for Bolton fans....United AND City knocked out on the same evening. It's so much more satisfying to follow a team that's poor and crap than it is to follow teams that are rich and crap. UP THE TROTTERS !
