havanatopia Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 (edited) All aboard for another rollercoaster marathon season. Since I have just attended my own marriage, my first I hasten to add, i am excusing myself a long winded thread opening; many historical facts have been written of todays opponents and pretty much all other teams in this league so it is time to reflect on other equally interesting subject matters that should become apparent soon, perhaps by match day 2. A tough opener but as my new wife says, its 'all about the ball' which i guess means the same as 'its 11 v 11'. So come on City, a home win if you please.

Jerseybean Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Congratulations H on becoming a husband. Already intrigued by the promised, tantalising revelation of ‘equally interesting subject matters’ . 1 Quote Link to comment

Cider_boy Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Congrats @havanatopia And how nice to have a match day thread again! Looking forward to the condensed version. 1 Quote Link to comment
Major Isewater Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Now I know that the season has really started, thank you Havantopial. Congratulations on your marriage. It seems wrong that the season kicks off whilst it's 38 Centigrade outside and the whiff of meat burning on barbecues is heavy in the Mediterranean air. Let's hope we put out the Forest fire and that our new boys hit the ground running . We looking for heroes. Nice to share with you all again the highs and downs of this wonderful game. Come on your Reds . 1 Quote Link to comment
MelksRed Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Can't make the game today as I'm in Venice (turning into rather red lobster)......let's get the season started with a win!!! Quote Link to comment

pongo88 Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 @havanatopia - you said it’s a tough opener. Are you referring to the match or your marriage? Just remember, it’s just the first 50 years of marriage that are difficult. After that it gets easier. Quote Link to comment

Coppello Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 One of most hated footballing cliches is the term ‘must win game’. So on that note, I will be the first to declare today’s game as must win. 1 Quote Link to comment

Meh Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Can you get married every week? - I actually read that. I don’t come on a football forum for the works of Shakespeare after all. P.S. - congrats and long happy life to you both Quote Link to comment
Lack of Action Man Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Here's hoping we play like a new season is upon us, and don't continue more of the tripe that we had in the second half of last season. In other news, beautiful weather for cider today! Quote Link to comment

That must be the shortest match thread going and hopefully BigTone can give a good condensed version! Congrats on the marriage Hav and best wishes for the future. I hope Mrs H actually appreciates that you are really married to BCFC and she will for various periods of 90 minutes each week just be expected to pick you up off the floor or listen to you screaming with joy. Hope it is the latter this season. COYR. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I am told Filipinas make decent wives; she is at least a City fan, good start, and brother who flew out brought her a shirt, albeit the collared one from 3 years ago but she was grateful none the less.. showing class already. 46 minutes ago, Juan Kerr said: You mad fool....but congrats anyway! narhhhh.. had a few near misses so it was definitely time. 34 minutes ago, Neo said: Can you get married every week? - I actually read that.

Hope it is the latter this season. COYR. She has obliged this evening by departing for her family home overnight so i can have an unadulterated football night win or lose. She actually cannot wait to attend her first match hopefully Stoke away... best get her wrapped up for that one. Thanks a lot and equally to everyone else for their wishes. Funny, met her days after Dad died in Oct 2016; romantically she says he sent her to keep me from being downhearted. I am buying that one on this occasion. 90 minutes to kick off... life is good again!! 3 Quote Link to comment
