If done before sorry. If not why not.

Here is the place to talk about all things city and football!

If done before sorry. If not why not.

CITYOFLOSTSOULS

To support Manchester City is to believe that God might have trouble running things on this planet, but he's in control of the next world. He has to be. The Devil rules this world and always will, because his team are Manchester United, and they are world famous and monolithic.

Manchester City, who's name travels the world about as well as Gracie Fields or Pulp, are on the side of the angels; the poor, sapped, unfortunate angels who still believe in quaint antiquated notions of earthly good. To support Manchester City is to accept with heroic willingness the dead-flat that the universe is cold and hostile, and nothing good will become of it. To support City is to tackle head on the crushing pointlessness of existence and to attempt to make something of it. It is hard work. So why do it? Because somehow this seems ultimately more dignified and fulfilling than taking the easy way out and supporting the lulling and obnoxious United.

To support United is too easy. It's convenience supporting. It makes life too easy. There is no challenge. It is a cowardly form of escapism, a sell-out to the forces of evil. United fans have no soul and will spend their eternity neck deep in boiling vomit. City fans retain their soul and will spend their eternity forever reliving the moment their team beat Newcastle 4-3 away from home to win the League Championship in 1968, beating United into second place. Surely we will have such eternal bliss again, for why do we spend so much time suffering in this life watching our team climb to the summit only so that we can watch them dive, dive, dive to their pitiless bottom of the heap while United, of Manchester, but nothing really to do with it, float every more triumphantly skywards?

Heartless United are the incarnation of shamelessness and to support them is heroism in a can. Cavalier City, however awry their football, however dire their straits, glow with something mystical and transcendental. City have soul. United do not.

When they are great again, City will have shown that they are worth their extraordinary fans. To this day these fans will walk a million miles for one of Joe Mercer's smiles. They'll sing a million songs waiting for some new Mercer-like magic. Because they are City, and Christ do they know they're born.

Not seen that for a while. The phrase "convenience supporting", is so bang on, it's uncanny.

I used to hate this when i supported United. Since turning blue in 2010 I can see that they really are 'convenience supporters'.

I've been making myself at home for a while now. Just testing the water - so to speak.

I've kept my posts quite conservative until now, but it seems this Hot n Spicy Dominos has gone to my head.

Nonetheless, its lovely to finally speak to you. I'm a big fan. :)

Fan of Doomy? I've heard it all now.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

Took you 11 years to work that out? Calling child services, there's no telling what else you've missed.

Agreed. Can i just turn myself in instead or have you already called? Please advise. I don't want you to miss a feeding at the kennel because of me.

You keep hammering on that, but I love my job. First job I have ever had where that is the case. You trying to put it down just comes off as sad. Maybe if you paid more attention to your kids(you should check to see how many you have) you'd have some joy in your life as well.

She does indeed but as it happens it's very beautiful name so no harm done.

We actually picked it as a Korean name but have found it applies in many cultures. It's probably one of the most fantastic names I've ever heard.

I honestly don't know what you mean, if you think you've got to me, think again sunshine. If you can't understand why I am not biting, well we've been here, we've done this dance before and you just aren't that interesting. Sorry.

You know what sugar, it's only you that thinks they can take a crack at someone and not expect one in return. It's all in good fun.

Dishes it out but can't take it. Did your mother tell you that a lot when you were growing up?

Just chill out. I think what you do for work sounds fantastic and if you think I'm being a prick, I'm not.

Woof!

You were having a crack? Oh dear, that is sad.

Giving me grief over my job is like giving a black man grief over his huge cock. I was merely making that point which you appear to be missing.

your point again was....oh, i'm not allowed to talk about how you work with dogs for a living. Got it.

Stop being such a big baby...you've made your point: it bothers you when i talk about your job working with dogs.
