Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[david3103]

All this funeral talk reminds me of my favourite TV show; Six Feet Under.

Superlative television. Not for everyone, but if you 'get' it, it stays with you. Does make you think about things that might not otherwise cross your mind.

Probably not your cup of tea Tony

Good read. I'd rather die than watch shite like that. Which may mean I get to feature in an episode.

Glad you posted, as I have a little question for you.

We have, as you know, a very lively "Sports & Betting" Board, & I'm currently trying to help rev blonde up a bit.

On that Board, we have dedicated Team threads for 5 Premier League Teams - Arsenal, Liverpool, Man U, Stoke (eh?), & Newcastle.

Note the oddity - no thread for the incoming Champions, & probably the best assemblage of football players at any one club in England.

So I need your help to come up with a fun name for the thread. It must not include that odious term "citeh" or I will throw up every time I see it, just as I do when I see "chelski" or other juvenile nicks. Then I'll get it started, make some noise & puff, & you can chip in with your inside knowledge of Man City. Think you are the only one here who supports them, which is a bit odd.

Get back to me within 24 hours, please.

From rags to riches.

We're not really here.

City; ruining football since 2008.

Don't you wish your captain was Kompany.

I swear you'll never see a thread like this ever again......stupendous.

It's still early and my brain isn't functioning properly yet, I might be able to come up with some more genius potential titles later. I'm at Eastlands later so what better place for inspiration?

How about Noisy Neighbours?

Amazing what tilts middle aged men on internet forums.  Quite incredible.

From a City perspective in  response to a United supporter I prefer:

"Not in my lifetime"     http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/ferguson-can-city-be-top-dogs-not-in-my-lifetime-1789944.html

"Welcome to Manchester"  (the beautiful Tevez psoter)

"This is how it feels to be City, this is how it feels to be small"

"It should have been 10"


However, I rather like "City - ruining football since 2008" from hhyftrftdr's excellent suggestions

Excellent suggestion by the way Tikay.  I love this place but don't really post much but I might be persuaded to contribute more with a dedicated  City thread.

Agree totally with the "citeh" reference - odious indeed.

Or Thoughts from the Bell End? 

(For non-footy fans they renamed the West Stand the Colin Bell Stand after one of Man City's greats - but opposing fans couldn't resist the opportunity).

Surely has to be this, can't see how that moment can ever be topped. I have no idea what it must've felt like to do that to your biggest rivals, one of the most amazing moments in Sport for me, truly epic!

Don't get me started on those crappy nicknames for clubs; Lollapool is nails on blackboard to me.  It isn't funny, not sure it ever was, please stop and everybody else please just ignore it.  We could do with a Blonde spellchecker that just autocorrects them all.  I'd put in a tenner for the development.   Don't you have Blonde mod powers to just autocorrect them all right now?

Isn't it odd how different things annoy different people?

"citeh" & "chelski" do my head in, but "lollapool" just makes me laugh.

Excessive exclamation marks might just give me a nervous breakdown, but don't bother others.

Unintentionally, I upset Mr Camel the other day when, in his view, I used the term "momentum" incorrectly, and it really made him cross. And I'm thinking, "but why?"

We are all so different.

I was joking, I wasn't really cross.

But you did use the word incorrectly as do so many other people.

Dictionary definition of the word:

1.
Physics
the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity.
2.
the impetus gained by a moving object.

Now explain how an internet poker forum can have momentum.

I hated that day, I will never forget it.

I was working for Sky at the time, and the call centre was super quite, luckily we had about 100 TV's and I could see both games. Unluckily in my team we had a city fan. Safe to say I didnt speak to him for quite some time.

[tikay]

Thanks for all the suggestions for the Man City thread. Keep them coming, please, & we'll then get it started tomorrow. 

I really like something a bit edgy, but remember we need enough space to include "Man City" in there somewhere. We can always change thread titles, though, so not a big deal either way.

My favs so far are....

Noisy Neighbours

Welcome to Manchester

Bell End

Anyway, we can sort that tomorrow.

Damn you. I don't like to upset anyone, especially you, but I thought you had taken umbrage.

I do know what momentum means, & insofar as a forum is concerned, I think it's fine to describe it as having momentum.  An online forum is a collective of people, the Forum - really, the people in it -  have moods, good & bad, need a little tlc sometimes, & a kick up the backside at other times. It's like a window box, it needs tending regularly. To sustain the momentum.

PS - Hope you saw a book review I did a few days ago, you'd enjoy it, I suspect, here...

Momentum. It's a metaphor. What am I missing?

The forum is building up a head of steam, it is blowing off its cobwebs, it is delivering a mighty left hook to the solar plexus of its rivals, it is rising like the phoenix from the flames, it is saying "yahboosucks" to all those who said it was past it, it is hugging success with a warm embrace so tight success can feel its throbbing majesty...and rumours of its death have been greatly exaggerated.

Funnily enough Jamie Reid is just having a new book published in a couple of days

Looks worth a gander.

I swear you'll never see a thread like this ever again......

Surely has to be this, can't see how that moment can ever be topped. I have no idea what it must've felt like to do that to your biggest rivals, one of the most amazing moments in Sport for me, truly epic!

For 20 minutes or w/e it was in that 2nd half after going behind, it was the worst day of my life without exaggeration. That might sound sad, but it mattered that much, and I was fucking furious and devastated we'd fucked it up.

Events transpired as they did and it will always be the best day of my life. If Aguero hadn't popped up at the end then I don't think I'd have ever got over it. To lose the title in that manner to your biggest rivals doesn't bear thinking about. Part of me would have died that day. If I'm ever feeling a bit meh, I watch the Youtube footage of the united fans cheering at Sunderland, only to hear the roar from the home fans and then the look on their faces.....and then the look on Phil Jones' face, priceless

I digress.

Anyway Tikay, we're still shit in Europe, so just call the thread 'Shit in Europe' and everyone will know its about City. Job done.
