Haha, yeah and there was some shit and they took about 10 minutes to get to the bit you wanted to hear. I can't recall quite how much they charged in those days, but I bet pound for pound it wouldn't be much different to premium rate numbers today. I remember trying to go to the phone box to do it, I couldn't get the money in quick enough. 

On phones where you put money on after they picked up so they could hear you, you could call club call for free because all you had to do was listen - no need to speak.

I never got on to that. I remember frantically trying to push coins in and being cut off before they got to the story I wanted!

I had a similar experience…… although I’d be lying if I said it was clubcall I was phoning. 
 

 

 

 

…….or anything football related at all….

A few accounts claiming that De Bruyne has agreed personal terms with Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia and City are willing to sell him.

They will need the money. Hopefully be a fire-sale there soon as they get relegated

When is it ever not? 
 

TBH, I’m Ok with things at the moment. New structure, new coach, half the squad away on internationals… for us especially, the summer was never going to be anything but a slow burn.

He was clearly nursed through last season. I saw some words of his earlier about him having one year left, but he could go to Saudi and earn more in two years than his entire career. I'm surprised it would take that long, but probably reflective of what he's earnt off the books at city.

Yes. I paid for a blue tick and everything…

 

…The Prince of Nigeria also wants me to find somebody to look after £2m & pay a hefty commission. If you just DM me your sort code and account number, we can sort it out.
