I know it's early days yet but can I be the first to presumptuously mention....




MIND THE GAP
I was on a northern train with no air con yesterday.
My first train trip in a long time.
It was noisy and roasting but it made my day when at the first stop the announcement said
MIND THE GAP.
I laughed until the next station.
When it happened again.
 
Bumped into my wife's Uncle Bob. Originally from Portsmouth so only naturally he supports Utd. Had a season ticket for a time in the 80s & 90s.
Anyway he saw me with a City shirt on and said "what's that shit you are wearing".
My reply - "not as shit as you lot are now".
Imagine my shock when he said "I gave up following football about 5 years ago"...................Really
 
Looks like history is repeating itself with these cunts.
3 managers that have won the league with years and years between them.
The 4th not looking close yet.

have that a lot, ex next door neighbour told me yesterday he hasn't watched football for tears because it's bent. A Leeds fan I know always says he isn't that bothered about football even though he is always wearing the newest shirt, I am sure he's wear the shorts and socks if he had the legs for it :)
 
They are now looking at an Austrian forward called Sasa Kalajdzic from Stuttgart.

99% of rag fans won't of heard of him before but Sky will be touting him as the best thing to come out of Austria since Arnold Schwarzenegger. I absolutely guarantee it
My money's on him being described as "The Alpine Haaland" :)

Lets be honest sky would say the same if it was Adolf Hitler.

At a service station in the middle of France chatting to a couple from Manchester, last month ,inevitably football came up.They used to have S/T's at the swamp,but " football is just about money now" so we don't go any more.Their one compensation was the season they stopped our unbeaten run at the Etihad,poor saddo's. Didn't bother stating the obvious about football.
Thought it might be more fun to adopt a different tack and kept saying never mind ,Pep might go and the Sheikh might get fed up ,the hope on their faces was a joy to behold. It's the hope that destroys.Love to think of how crushing it must be already in the season. Does this make me a bad person?
