So That's It Then...
... Sven the Swede and Thak the Thai have got control of Manchester City, the only football club I ever cared about. I have said before this would be the end. But, Brit was right, I'm stuck with them. I've been with them through thick and thin, I can be with them through Thak and Sven.

A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
'be with them through Thak and Sven'
ReplyDeleteTerrible. Really terrible.
I don't follow football too much, but isn't Sven a good manager?
ReplyDelete"...Thak and Sven" -- funny, really funny.
ReplyDeleteJim Crace told me about some pun contest held annually in England. I can see why it's there!
one of my ex-tutors, who sounds like Uncle Monty from Withnail & I, hearing i'm in Manchester, said "Oh well, you'll have good football there, since you like underdogs."
ReplyDelete"Aren't Manchester United supposed to be quite good?" i ventured.
"Oh my boy, I'm not talking about Manchester United! The OTHER team!"
That's right, River of Deceit, Sven is an excellent manager, with a superb grasp of tactics.
ReplyDeleteI just hoping he manages to do for Manchester City, what he did for England...
ReplyDeleteelberry: United are the OTHER team.
ReplyDeleteThey are in Manchester, but not of it.
Susan: Puns are not supposed to make you laugh. They're supposed to make you groan in agony - which as a communal experience is far more satisfying.
Thai Tak rings a bell. Wasn't he an airport in Hong Kong at one time?
