[Impeccable One]

A good few years back,I dropped my mate off(a rag)at the airport in his car.
As he got out,he said "do me a favour mate and give these someone/anybody in the pub.
He pulled 3 match tickets out of the glove box for the game that night......work had give him some comps.
It was the rags at home in the CL to Inter Milan.
Our local is 10 mins drive to the swamp,20 mins on a bus,we only in Denton.
I go in the pub about 6pm and clocks 2 rags sat there in their shirts with a glass of coke between them.
These 2 were always claiming they could not get tickets for any game and that's why they never went.
Always in the pub a few hours before kick off so they could get the best seats....after a few minutes I said to a mate...."let's see what these two clowns say to these" and shown him the tickets.
I put them on the table in front of them and said "there you go boys,enjoy the game" and smiled,my mate was laughing as we knew they would decline them.
Any blue I know would of ripped my arm off for 3 free match tickets.....ANY MATCH.
sums them fuckers up.

Lets face it, they were totally confused. Theres two of them and three tickets :O

I genuinely can't believe they are as close as they are.

They’re not as bad as we think they are, they’ve got the basis of a good team but they aren’t well coached. Saying that, they aren’t the second best team or squad in the Prem.

Liverpool have the next best XI to City but they’ve not handled the up in intensity teams put in when playing the champions.

Chelsea have the next best squad to City but Lampard wasn’t good enough.

I’d expect United to be in a tough Top4 race with Leicester and Everton next season.

I just patronise and belittle holiday rags during footy discussions,by saying your not from Manchester so you don’t count or understand.

Indeed!

I used to as well, despite born and raised on the other side of the world. Occasionally I'd get away with winding up Manc Rags about their out of town support for a few minutes before they twigged.

I usually reply with - ‘whereabouts in Manchester is (Insert name) then?’
Had some lovely replies down the years.

Me and Mrs. Dobber were in a retaurant in Florence couple of years ago.Waiter was a young fella,mid twenties.
He was taking our order,clocked our accents and,as usual,asked where we were from.
When I said Manchester,he put his note-pad down on the table,spread his arms and shouted "Aguerrrrrrroooooooooooooooooo"

 

[bluebanana83]

I like to think there is a bit of a blue following in Tuscany...well myself and my family when we are over!

However, I do know quite a few in Tuscany who liked city before we were winning just because of Oasis even if the majority all support Juventus and not Fiorentina.

 

[journolud]

Seems to be a lot of blather in the press about Haaland joining them, this years Sancho I expect. He’d be a mug to join them, no way he starts ahead of Rashford and Greenwood

Mancini managed Fiorentina when he started out, won the Coppa even though the club were in shit and facing bankruptcy, they're very fond of him as far as I know so they would have loved that :)

 

[Protein Junkie]

Sad Cafe is comedy Gold.
Lindehoof is better than Ruben
City Bingo ongoing.
Arguing amongst themselves and trying to out one poster as one of ours.
Slagging us off for spending then moaning about the cost of Sanchez.
More City bingo.

 

[aguero93:20]

Lindehoof is better than Ruben

Saw that alright, they're trying to say he was better at Benfica, you would think they'd realise that Dias was still in school for most of Lindelof's benfica career.

He will link up great with Wesley Sneijder.

 

[aguero93:20]

And Ramos.
Probably can't wait to link back up with Sancho as well.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

That's not a bad thing. Fan channels are full of idiots. Just look at the Liverpool and Arsenal threads. And that's not a Manc accent.

Bottom of barrel. And not just his face

 

[The perfect fumble]

Wait for the end....

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

I find Fernandes so fascinating. It's almost guaranteed that if you're a shit team he'll score or assist against you. But if you're not, it's almost guaranteed he won't.

The dynamic you're describing becomes even clearer if I swap out a few of the nouns and pronouns...

It's almost guaranteed that if you're a bunch of 8 year olds I'll score or assist against you. But if you're not, it's almost guaranteed I won't.

 

[Vienna_70]

We’re watching Tenable.

The first member of the team said that his family has a ST for the swamp and they fight over who has it for the game.

I said to Mrs Vienna, "Yeah, the loser has to go!"

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

I mean, Arsenal Fan TV in particular probably has more opposition fans tuning in than Gooners because it's comedy gold. Outside of Arsenal, United, and Liverpool there are plenty of decent sized clubs who don't have fan channels. It's not just City that don't have one. I could be mistaken but I don't think Everton or Spurs have one. Chelsea used to but I'm not sure it's still going.

It's a piss poor fishing trip really from the former Forest fan. The plastics will lap it up of course but real fans of all clubs - including United fans - will be cringing at that.

And therein lies the real reason we don't have one. Life is good.

Fucking hell, social services should be getting involved in that shit.
