  1. I’ve been working on a new high rise block in Manchester recently, it’s taken nearly 2 years and we don’t have a finalised design yet. I assume (having never worked on one) that both training grounds and football stadiums are a lot more complex than 78 flats, so might take a little longer?
  2. I think he is a decent enough player but he doesn’t have any standout attributes for me, being able to play in so many positions has probably done him a disservice cos I don’t know what kind of player he is. Obviously I would like him to stay and improve here but needs must and he unfortunately one of our weaker midfielders, where we have the most other players, who someone is will to pay for.
  3. Don’t be silly, you just knock up a new training ground in a few months nowadays man. I honestly thought it would take us winning loads of stuff before our fans became insufferable entitled cunts. The progress since the new owners has been pretty monumental.
  4. Agreed. Said it before but what is he meant to be good at?
  5. He is talking shite, £40 million would make him the joint 7th highest fee ever paid by a French club, so Marseille and Lyon aren’t fishing in that pond.
  6. Didn’t Matterface used to go out with that turbo babe off sky sports news? The dark haired one? The worlds fucked lads
  7. Sometimes (rarely) it’s useful to get an accountants input. I didn’t know disposal values would could towards ffp
  8. Might be a hot take but I don’t think Anderson is going to make it here. Seems a decent player but not quite sure what it is he is meant to be good at. Wouldn’t include in a deal for a left footed centre back though, that seems silly when he would be “pure profit” as the kids say, if sold for cash.
  9. We don’t have any decent youngsters because of years of Ashley underinvestment
  10. I don’t believe you
  11. Least surprising thing this morning, Gemmil follows only fans models on Twitter
  12. You’ve wooshed me there I’m afraid
  13. Why are Audi drivers catching strays here? This has got to be some kind of racism imo
  14. See that road labelled A6? I live between Manchester and stockport just off that road, so I am aware. Thats about an hours drive most of the time
  15. I know this is a joke. It Oldham is miles away from Stockport, where Foden is from and lives. Regards
  16. Mould isn’t usually that big of a deal, it’s caused by warm/damp. So look for obvious issues like leaks (your plumber will find these), leaking gutters etc. Otherwise you are doing the right thing, a lot of damp is caused by lifestyle issues (heating on, windows closed, drying clothes in doors). The worst option would be either a version of rising damp (no/failed DPC for example), this can be expensive to fix but your surveyor should definitely have picked this up and you will be able to claim on their RICS insurance against them not spotting it
  17. Imagine letting one lad design a bridge, nobody would be an engineer.
  18. Just realised Eddie signed him for Bournemouth for 12 odd million when he was a teenager. Must rate him highly
  19. I work in that sector, and there are numerous large issues with trying to build social housing under the current government but budget cuts year after year are certainly the biggest along with under staffed planning departments taking 9-12 months to approve ALL applications in our area for housing that is desperately needed.
  20. See I think it would be the complete opposite, wake up with no pressures, decide ah I’m going to (random diy task) today. Feed the animals, walk the dogs etc. Loads of ways to fill the time. Then become an alcoholic
  21. Well I don’t have kids and paid the mortgage off earlier this year. Our lass works is a lecturer at a uni, there are massive lay offs. I could probably work for someone 3 days a week remotely and earn enough to keep us in beer tokens. So I could sell the house buy something smaller and put the excess into an investment. I spend hours a day looking at knackered old buildings with a couple of acres thinking how I would do them up. More likely that we end up moving back near fucking Middlesbrough to look after my mam as she gets older, which is quite depressing.
  22. To people around my age (40ish). How often do you day dream of selling everything you own and buying a little house with some land in the middle of nowhere and keeping some animals? I think I might be having a little midlife crisis
  23. Not with that mortgage you aren’t
  24. I live near Stockport and have been to a fair few games since I’ve been down here. Dave Challinor would be a good manager for them, but much like Mowbray was a good manager for them. They will find a way to hate him and get rid of him.
