No point starting a thread for a quick question that you can answer.

 

You mentioned you did it up country the next year.  Did you get a TM30 at the up country address?  If not, do you have to go to your nearest immigration office, or can you go to any immigration office?  Same with the driver's license as well. 

Whilst schools where closed for Covid I was living at our house up country so went to the local Immi office and did my TM30 there. My driver's licence isn't up for renewal for a while yet so I'll sort that nearer the time. I did change my address in the blue book for my car though. Bit of a pain but not too much as they made me get a new plate (different province)

You missed a nice little goal from Ake and a good defensive effort. That's about it. Àlvarez hit a post. Dandy G played well. Looked like Stones did a hammy.

Managed to get to watch it later in the day.

Not convinced that Ake was going for goal or passing to the back post in the hope Haaland would be there. Either way, happy it went in and well played by Jack. He's showing more and more that he's getting used to the system and contributing far more nowadays

Frigging heck, have you City fans got so low that all you can do is find faults in our manager. A new low for City.

I wasn't saying it's a fault. Trying to copy Pep is a compliment

Lots of traffic though. I miss the "covid days" when the streets and intersections had a quarter of the traffic they do now.

Yeah a lot busier now than a few months ago. The road works on second rd don't help either. I try not to drive down there anymore.

On the lash last night and slept through my alarm. First game I've missed this season. I feel a part-timer like Rick ????

Anyway, nice to see we've progressed. Not been lucky with the FA cup draws this year. Hopefully a more favourable draw in the next round

Even Erik tries to be like Pep

Frigging heck, have you United fans got so low that all you can do is find faults in our manager. A new low fir United

Pep is far more gobby. At least Fergie said what he meant, Pep is always being sarrcy and talking in riddles.

 

Anyway, ultimately Pep is far bigger and more powerful than Man City. That's where this awkwardness comes from 

Give over you numpty. Pep is always speaking admirably about opposition not getting into scrapes. Fergie was always falling out with other managers and even the press. Pep doesn't slag off other clubs. You really need to bin those tinted glasses. Either that or your developing memory loss

Totally agree, can't stand listening to him. Watch him when he's talking - I'll give you £20 if he concludes one interview without scratching either his head or his beard - Watch him & you'll see what i mean.

Nerves. You try doing an interview in your non native language and I bet you'd be scratching your head. Jaysus, now nervous habit shaming. You RAG's have no shame

I think you did the bulk of your spending before FFP came in properly.

Yeah. As I said above, to catch you lot up as you and Chelsea etc had already got top drawer players. We either did it before FFP came in or not at all. We caught you up and now just tweak here and there

Just very awkward he isn't happy with the fanbase of his own club.

He's right what he said. He didn't say he wasn't happy with them, he was saying that complacency has set in with the expectation to win and that's the same with some of the players. I get it, he's right and that's why it's hard to keep on winning titles. The hunger is sometimes lacking. He wants our fans to be desperate again, like your lot are

You are one of the original money clubs, and you are simply getting what you paid for. 

What you talking about for gods sake. United, Chelsea etc etc have been spending far more than us before our new owners came. We needed to spend big to catch up. You lot are now trying to catch up. And so since you last won anything you lot have spent more than us (over the last 5 years). You're ruining football

Not at all. Bothers me far more when Liverpool win something.

So it does bother you. Just bothers you more if Liverpool win. Thought so.

 Whereas from our point of view, they aren't really of much significance

Why are you posting in this thread then?

The absolute reality is that your guts churn every day with an enormous aching feeling because we are currently successful, whilst you ain't won anything for 5 years or so. You still have "not in my lifetime" ringing in your ears from the gobby jock, wishing he had never uttered those foolish words.

P.S. Next game is friday night, so please get predictions in before then

Scores are up.

This weeks top scorer is OwlSeasAll with Thaiwrath in second and Mouserless in third.  ClartyBoots still in the lead in the overall league followed by Fulhamster and MrMuddle in 3rd.

Unfortunately we bid goodbye to BangrakBob who has too many commitments to carry on.

On a side note, its cup semi final week this week - Have a week off ????

Good luck. You haven't won anything for ages have you ????

As i wrote in my above post - We dropped 3 points, due to 2 90th minute goals.

Palace - winning 1-0 = 3 points - They score in the 90th minute - We end up with 1 point = 2 points dropped.

Arsenal - Drawing 2-2 = 1 point - They score in the 90th minute - We end up with 0 points = 1 point dropped.

 

I aint very good at maths, but i reckon 2+1 = 3 ????

You can mess with the maths as much as you like if it makes you happy but the cold hard facts are that you got 1 point out of 6. Simples. That's your math sorted, now onto your colour blind issues ????

We dropped 3 points in our last 2 games

No you didn't drop 3 points in your last 2 games, you dropped 5 points

I also thought "United are back" meant you to be challenging for the title, not getting in the top 4. That would be "United are back, but not really, just United are back-ish, a little bit"

True, but beating the Bertie Magoo,s is worth more than any points - Remember brother, Manchester is RED

Remember brother, United aren't even in Manchester. Manchester is Blue

A big day for the big fella.

25 goals from 19 PL games is madness. Also his 4th hat-trick. To put that into context. The fastest man to do that before Haaland was Van Nistelrooy for Man United and it took him 65 games to do it !!
