If it was up to me I'd go back in time and make the metric system the only system that ever existed. Like I said above, imperial is stupid because different units and names make up new units and names. With metric if you know how long a metre is you know how long 100000000 metres is in...

Bit harsh wasn't it.

You guys probably know they call the 1500m the 'metric mile'. That's because there are 1609 metres in an imperial units mile.

What can I say? We are a very strange and insular little country. Rods and chains - sounds like a BDSM party.

Exactly, we agree. You need to win the bulk of those games to do well in the league. It is the nature of a 20 team league. II was just saying it's very possible they slip up in their easier start, much more so than if Arsenal, Liverpool, or Man City were playing those teams in that order. I am...

No idea, I wasn't around to create the system. Though some days like today I feel like I was.

This is a furlong

Yes I know. But my point is they make more mistakes than other big teams in the much more frequent games against 'easier teams', and that's large part why other teams get more points come the end of the season. There's also the fact that United are better against high lines and the lesser teams...

The trend will be that yes, but they'll likely slip up in enough of them for it to affect their league position. Man City are so good at beating the lesser teams and that's why they accumulate so many points in general. Let's hold fire and wait and see with United. I already said I am biased...

You know what football is like though - the easiest games 'on paper' sometimes turn out to be massive banana skins. United especially have fallen victim to that with all their hammering against 'small clubs' over the years.

I still think United will struggle. I have said so since Ferguson left and not been proved wrong yet. But I acknowledge I am very biased as they're my most hated club in the world.

A stone is 14 pounds. I know that a stone is about 6kg give or take but it still doesn't feel natural to think of body weight in kg or height in m. Just the way I have been brought up. Imperial system is stupid though because it relies on differing type of units whereas metres become km, grams...

If United had won it I'd have said it's just a pre-season friendly, doesn't mean anything, all about fitness. But since City won it and United are on the wrong end of it I am gonna paint it as an important competitive game that sets you up for the season. Football is great like that - you can...

I think you and I talked about it before. It's engrained into their club. Obviously they played more progressive football under Ferguson, but they've always essentially been a counter-attack team. They'll never be able to play like Barca or Man City as it's not in their identity or ethos as a club.

We technically do use the metric system a lot. We kinda flit between them. Like officially we use metric, but we talk in stones and pounds rather than kg a lot, and mile rather than metres etc.

'Inches' as a word sounds more impressive than 'centimetres' though. So it balances out. Like saying 'you wanna feel my massive fucking 8 incher baby' sounds better than saying 'you wanna feel my massive fucking 20 centimetres'. The first sound animalistic and second sounds geeky. Might just...

Good way to celebrate your 30th bday. Amazing by Bobby boy.

Good point. It is a psychological thing.

Lol cunts. Typical of them tbh. Good goal to be fair.

Yeah that will be why lol. Does 20cm sound better than 8 inches? Not for me mate.
