Post Match Remedies after a defeat? What do you do to cheer yourself up?

[Mr Kobayashi]

in the spoken word there is no noticeable pause,
but in the written word a comma helps avoid confusion



without the comma he might have been meaning...
the work mate of god.
rather than what he actually meant...
the work of god, mate.

"mate" is a form of name.
it's quite normal to insert a comma before a name in a sentence.
e.g.
i'm not having that, calum.

if you don't insert the comma,
it could mean...
i'm not having that fella called calum.

Your head looks like a tic tac.

Your head looks like a tic tac.

i'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing,
so i'll say thank you anyway.

 

[Magicpole]

did your team lose again?


let's see what's what here...

to begin with,
when i joined a discussion on the ufo thread,
you started shouting and swearing at me because you disagreed.
that was how you opened up a conversation with me.

i politely explained that you were out of order.
you changed your tone with other posters for a little while.

apart from you and that other fella who loves you,
nobody else on the thread agreed with you and you disappeared,
after claiming i called you a knob, which i didn't.



i replied to this, your thread, by making light of it.

and yet, here we are again,
you swearing and shouting at me.


i support manchester city.
i am from manchester.
i am on a manchester city forum that i joined 15yrs ago.

none of the above apply to you,
yet you think it's okay to come on here and swear at me.
you think it's okay to be aggressive to city fans on a city forum.

you demand that i grow up.
i'm 60.
it's way too late for me to start growing up.
and if your definition of growing up is how you behave,
then no thanks.

everybody on here knows i'm rarely being serious.
nobody on here has ever behaved aggressively towards me.

you say you make mistakes because you are short of time.
perhaps if you used your time better you wouldn't come across as such a nasty character.

i don't like you.

I’m a City fan too. That’s why I am on here. And you not liking me is fine. I am not a nasty character, I’m a gentleman, but I fight my corner. That’s the way I am. If that hurts your feelings, that’s your issue . I do respond to comments that have a go at me, like I would if you got fresh or smart if I was standing with you in a pub. If you don’t like that, I couldn’t give a single fuck. We are all supposed to be men. Sometimes things get heated. That’s life.

 

[calumdown]

I’m a City fan too.

not really.
you are a fan of a team in scotland.

fan is an abbreviation of fanatic.
being fanatical means having extreme or excessive enthusiasm.
is it possible to be fanatical about more than one thing in any given area?
i would say you are fanatical about your team and you also follow man city.
that may be semantics but it is what it is.

am not a nasty character,

i didn't say you are.
i said you come across as one.

I’m a gentleman, but I fight my corner.

excuse me bringing class into this,
but i know plenty of real gentlemen
and they don't behave aggressively to others.
there is absolutely no need to fight corners.
humour is a far better weapon than anger.
and a gentleman doesn't need to tell other people that he is a gentleman.

If that hurts your feelings, that’s your issue

be assured that my feelings remain intact and unhurt.
the reason i dislike you is your seeming inability to control your temper without lashing out off-the-cuff, uncalled for, aggressive remarks on a forum of which you are a guest.

I do respond to comments that have a go at me

i'd be very interested if you could find an example of me "having a go" at you, or at anyone else for that matter.

f you don’t like that, I couldn’t give a single fuck.

and yet here you are swearing at me again.

We are all supposed to be men.

i find this comment to be sexist.
bluemoon also has posters who are not males.
how do you assume to know my gender?

Sometimes things get heated. That’s life.

maybe where you live and in the life you live,
but that isn't the case in my world.

my friends are all beautiful, caring adults.
we may not be the grown-ups you'd like us to be.
we may not be the big strong aggressive men you'd like us to be.
we are lovers, not fighters.
we use words, not fists.

enjoy the life you live if that's what makes you (un)happy.

it's probably best if we never communicate again,
although i'm sure you'll need the last word on this,
so have fun with me in your final slingshot :)

My team may have been fucking criminal today, who’s counting? I got to thinking about how low, angry, fucked off, and just totally fed up I get and how to snap out of it as soon as. Cunts aren’t worth it.

Any tips to banish the night, for it is full of terrors? What do you do?

I will tell you what I do, if any **** bothers to put up their strategies that help them. I don’t know why I fucking bother sometimes.

Lamb jalfrezi.
Pilau rice.
Pashwari naan.

Always cheers me up.

Win or lose that's what's for tea.. ;-)

Could finish that up with a nice shandy or a cocktail if it was a real downer after a result that wasn't expected ;-)

I just listen to Pep.

Guardiola: We will get back to our best again

Pep Guardiola says City are not playing perfectly and understands if the Etihad Stadium can get edgy.

No slingshot. Live long and prosper.
