United thread 2020/21

Totally deluded on redcafe. All they go on about is how much money we have spent. Do they ever look at their own finances & how much they spunk away on transfers, wages, pianos & shit players

Yes... it's strange the way the way they go on about City's spending. They don't seem to realise that they have spent more than City over the past three seasons.

Some of their fans really are so bitter and twisted...it gets worse after each CL victory. Judging by the latest comments I fear mass suicides if City actually do go on and win the CL.

On the positive side though, it has to be said that I spoke to a couple of United fans recently who were very complimentary about the quality of City's football which was good to hear for a change.

46 is a father of the chapel?

I'm still young, although my prostate exam earlier today suggests it's a little larger than it should be for someone of my age!!

Easier for the missus to tickle (if you like that kind of thing)

Not unless she wants me to piss the bed at the same time!

Thought I would have a look at that site. Have a read of their 'If the worse happens' thread. Sums them up perfectly. None of them know any city fans apparently. The irony in having no connection to the club yet having the gall to call us plastic is hilarious. Its as if they are typing shite to try and convince themselves its true.

Worked at the Daily Express, every department had a union Chapel and an elected Father of the Chapel FOC

Yep, my dad was an FOC at the Daily Mirror as a printer.

I was a printer for 17 years started in letterpress jobbing, then 4 colour letterpress printing the Pilkington tile brochure, then continuous stationary, the photo gravure 7 colour printing McVities Digestive and Hobnob packets and the like.

I`d almost forgotten


Worked as a casual on the Guardian pre 1977, 2 to 4 nights a week. I use to get paid more for a night than I got for a week printing in my day job. £144 for a Saturday night if I remember. I`d never seen so much money.

My dad could work Boxing Day night at the Mirror - the old Thomson House/later Maxwell in the early 80s and get £800 for the night.

If not, the NGA just wouldn't start the presses.

They were great days, used to also do the Sat night casuals, clock in at 6pm and disappear to the Hammer or Crown and Kettle until 10pm, that £100 per shift was needed to pay for the night out

I remember early 80s when we started printing the NoW, we got £200 extra. Then it all came tumbling down with the wapping picketing and Eddie Shah

I remember being in a pub near Thompson House. A bloke my mate knew suddenly stood up. 'Fuck me,' he said, 'I have to get back to work. I'll miss the tea break.'
