Confession is good for the soul

I won £500 when Chelsea beat us in the Champions League final. I’m just so fucking pessimistic about City at the best of times and figured whatever the result I’d be happy.

I have never gone into a game expecting we’d win.

It winds the kids up no end that on the way to Salford at home or West Ham or whoever that I fear the worst and expect we’ll cock the whole thing up.

I’ve been like this since 1983 and it’s not about to change. I’ll take a point against Sunderland

You’re not alone.

I always fear the worst. It comes from decades of false dawns and then being kicked in the proverbial bollocks, when things inevitably go tits up.

I've travelled extensively and can get around just fine speaking Spanish.

I can also survive with a bit of Filipino, Thai, Japanese and Chinese.. but my mind only works in English if I'm being honest.

But other than septic tanks or septic in medical terms.. never heard of "septics" as a slang for anything.

P.S. That said there are types of English which I consider vile and uncivilized. For example those who butcher you all with Y'all!

Septics is rhyming slang once removed.

Akin to “your Boat” meaning “your face” in Cockerney rhyming slang.
 
After Steve Coppell took over I tracked him down and constantly barraged him with non stop practical jokes daily, didn't mean owt by it really it was just banter but all it took was around 10-12 days before it got to him, then he became despondent apparently having some sort of nervous breakdown which led to him quitting.

I also spread a rumour that he was hard of hearing / deaf and using hidden hearing aids in each ear, which lead to many people shouting at him instead of speaking to him which constantly had him on edge, regrettably the hearing aid rumour not only became widespread but also completely misconstrued by most blues.
