To be fair that was shot just outside Wembley around the time of the Community Shield penalty shoot out last Sunday.

The 6-3 win against the Rags a few years ago… if we’d gone for it we would have destroyed them.

‘It could have been 10’ in that game much more than it could have in the Old Scaffold 1-6. It was 6-1 at the Etihad after 73mins and Utd had completely gone, the away end was empty and if we’d really gone for it we’d have got a derby record that would have stood for a century.

Totally agree - and after giving them two late goals because everybody'd gone into practice mode, Ten Haag had the cheek to crow about 'making changes at halftime and scored three goals as a result'. Mourinho-level spin, that one.

How about those annoying gits who ask a 1-to-1 question of another member in a WhatsApp group of over 70 people?

Especially when they only live THREE F*CKING DOORS AWAY!

Bastards!

Edit: I should have added 'and go on to generate a dozen back-and-forth messages about nothing of interest to anybody else...'

I live close to the South Wales Border. When I got my first bus pass it allowed travel from England to a town just over the border but, it did not allow for any journey commencing in Wales, i.e. the return.
After a lot of consultation, common sense has now prevailed.

You moved? You bought a car? Don't leave us hanging.

Oh I don't know, what were the messages? I might like them. You're being very presumptuous.

Fucking Spiders.
There’s no way that god exists if he made these motherf*ckers on purpose.

You could sort of understand if they were rainbow colours, had floppy ears or had a nice smile but just look at the evil little horrible hairy ugly (probably Rag) disgusting little creatures.

Some sicko’s on here will stick up for them due to some catching flies. Let’s not forget some have moved on like the Goliath Bird Eating Spider that eats f*cking BIRDS!

In 100-150yrs they’ll be eating children, mark my words

Oh come on mate..

Without spiders we'd be overrun by all kinds of shit like flies etc.

I personally know a few who supports City.

Sorry mate, i’m too passionate when it comes to spiders.
Give me Fly spray and a swatter anyday.

I’ve not seen the Man City Arachnid Supporters Club yet, how many tickets do they get for away games? ;-)

Seriously?
How about
'Sue J, can you pick me up something from IKEA this afternoon?'
'sure - what do you want?'
'I think they sell those giant orange cushions that we saw in Gina's place' (Gina is not in the WhatsApp group btw - it turns out that nobody else in the group knows her)
'Oh yes - I'd love those in mint. They'd look great in the summer room...'

And so on.

15 pings later they agree that the OP will 'pop round with the money, IN A MINUTE!?!'

An upshot of this is that those working in quiet environments have to mute the chat, occasionally missing out on genuine time-sensitive messages as a result.

Still think I'm being presumptuous?

EDIT: I probably missed @Magicpole 's irony :-l (it's been a fractious morning...)

I find it interesting that the lady has so many rooms that she is able to dedicate them to seasons of the year.

Personally, I'd say that mint is more of a 'Spring room' colour.

You may wish to respond to her WhatsApp message accordingly, possibly with a further suggestion to buy some of the giant orange cushions for her Autumn room.

Although apparently spider size is limited in absolute terms due to their biology. Their method of breathing means as they grow larger they'll eventually outgrow their ability to sustain themselves, body mass vs surface area available to get oxygen into their "bloodstream" via diffusion.
Other one being because they moult in order to grow (sort of like snakes and shedding skin) they may weigh too much for their new exoskeleton to harden sufficiently before they crush themselves.
There is a theory that higher oxygen concentration would enable arachnids, insects, etc with similar methods of breathing to grow larger as there's fossils of v large prehistoric insects etc when oxygen levels were higher than they are today.

Although on the subject of spiders. They're the reason God invented big stompy boots and fire

Stop it! You're making the conversation interesting, rendering my original post redundant...


Well, almost :-)

Not sure about a whatsappgroup of over 70 people but I always have my group of 6 on text on ignore.
Nobody likes a talker.
