As its the 5oth anniversary of the Munich air crash I think its only right that we show our respects for those that perished. You might actively dislike Manchester United but I think its only right to spend a moment in contemplation not just for the payers but the 15 other people that also died.
City also lost one of their own - one of greatest players- goalkeeper Frank Swift and on Sunday I hope the City fans remember this and honour his memory with a faultless minutes silence. Swifts family will be present and its only right they show how highly regarded his memory is.
In addition Busby built a fine United side but before going into management served City as a player.
This wasn't just a United tragedy but a Manchester tragedy and all mancunians should come together in silence.

I am not a United fan but I agree with the sentiment.
Hopefully the proper marks of respect will be paid.

There were a few City fans at Old Trafford today and they conducted themselves creditably.

A perfect minutes silence in the stadium, well done City fans and well done the boys in blue for winning at OT for the first time in 34 years.

The game wasn't quite in the classic category but interesting nevertheless. And the fans behaved impeccably.

Under the circumstances any win at OT is good. Couldn't see me selling any memorabilia like that.

No I couldn't either but must have been fetching a fair price.

Even so, I would be too attached to it to sell. Just like Raiders gear.

I dont actually have that much Raiders gear, a couple of books, beanie, baseball cap thats about it really. Never been one for wearing the Jersey, though I picked up a Moss one for $15 when I was in the US last year. Shame we then went a traded him.
But I wouldn't get rid of any of it though.

I have a LA and an Oakland ballcap, a couple of tee-shirts, a fleecy hoodie, a bomber jacket and a Bo Jackson No.34 shirt.
