Alas, can’t do it with clients, as much as I have wanted to.

I can highly recommend it :-)

Fucking hell I think you’re a prime candidate for going postal with that lot.

It's the 'in thing' in the states tbf.

 

[aguero93:20]

I’ve done that on occasion, hence the falling out with my league teammates. ;-)

Alas, can’t do it with clients, as much as I have wanted to.

But you can go postal with the clients, just need to fabricate an excuse to get them all together.

@SebastianBlue
All I would say is that if mates of mine distances themselves from me or were disappointed in me for my continued support of City, I’d ask them if they were all there in the head. If I was continuing my support of ISIS or renewing my Myra Hindley fan club subscription, I’d think they would have a point. It’s not though, it’s football. It’s a football club. And that’s all it is.
Some of our own use Munich to goad united fans. Some of Everton, I’m sure, use Heysel
to goad Liverpool. I’m sure there are some sick enough to go as low as goading Bradford fans for their stadium fire. There are some who can’t help themselves where the rivalry is concerned. A lot of it is without knowing any real background to what they use to insult. That’s all this is with us. Empty seats. Bought titles. Players here for money etc etc. All part of it. Anyone who says we are linked to a brutal regime is just as bad and stupid as those who do air plane gestures. It’s that same mocking of empty seats against us or 690m fans against them gone that bit too far - all without any knowledge whatsoever.

I’d pick new friends if I were you though. Distanced himself from you?! Lol.

I completely agree with what you have said about deluded rival supporters. I have even said it directly to a few that have disparaged City, hence the falling out with several people. Fairly sure we both agree on all fronts there.

My point is that the club’s image has been impacted, even with those that don’t care much about football (or even dislike it generally), which is why I responded to your post originally, and what I was asking your thoughts about.

Not sure what you are referring to about the “distanced himself” bit, though, as I didn’t mention anything like that.

Both still on gap and bored, yeah? ;-)

The bit where you said your brother in law thinks less of you and your one time close friend is disappointed in you. Or vice versa.
Having re-read it, someone actually wrote an email saying they were uneasy about you being a city fan? That’s just plain fucking weird.

Back in the office next week for the first full week since August. May or may not go postal by the end of the week.

Actually no, productive and relatively lucrative day today. January’s always a busy month for me and I can multi-task :-)

The NGO world is weird, mate — that incident was with a human rights organisation. As I said, they are *very* sensitive about affiliations, even outside of the professional realm. My manager that it was outrageous (as it was) and it didn’t lead to anything, thankfully. Just an example of how things have changed for me personally, though. Would have never happened before the Der Spiegel nonsense.

I’ve got a story along the same lines: the other day, a guy down my local said similar things about our owners; I told him to go fuck his mum’s cünt.

Raffles or Spearmint Rhino?

I’m about a mile from a Spearmint Rhino tbf!

Maybe he’s one of the 690m and taking his bantz too far?? ;-)

Same for me — months after quarter close are always busy as we primarily work in financial data. Though, I never really got time off so if I am mostly always multitasking if I am on here. ;-)

Just try to be clever about it; would hate to lose my partner in laboured comedy on here.

Probably supports PSG. ;-)

Thinking carbon monoxide poisoning or something, will have to look at how the air conditioning works.

Very diplomatic :-)

It's a second like from me.........

Interesting video from TIFO about Saudi Arabia and their links into FIFA and Utd to some degree. And people talk soooo much bollocks about City "Sportswashing"
