Spaced Invaders

Like a glowing UFO hovering over Knutsford Heath at sunset tonight, this is another in my Cloud Appreciation series.

What has this got to do with my wanting to mention yesterday's glorious football result? Er, well nothing at all of course, unless you would accept me talking of a red fluffy floaty feeling or an Independence Day moment.

No? Oh well, the only Knutsford and Manchester Derby connection I can quote then, is that we recognised one of J's old primary school classmates called Matty being the only pitch invader yesterday at City's Etihad Stadium. We spotted him in the News getting removed from the field of play in disgrace. A bit like City striker Mario Balotelli was basically. This presumably pissed-up lad from the Blue half of Knutsford had run on to the pitch just after United's last minute winner to remonstrate with Red's defender Rio Ferdinand, who himself had just been hit on the head and bloodied by a coin thrown from the home crowd. Perhaps he was just a bad loser and wanted his money back.
