artursteppe Posted 22 July 2011 Posted 22 July 2011 I normally hate these but thought I'd post it My mate is a high ranking police officer currently down the KP stadium working with the club on security for the Madrid match...... he's not a city fan and just text me this Your signing N Maynard from bristol city for 4.5 mill plus waghorn! KP stadium looks quality with the new signs up (and my favourite) Danny N'guessen kicking off in reception as he couldn't get through the players entrance!.......how ironic I find that very difficult to believe! A high ranking police officer may have texted 'you're signing N Maynard', because that is grammatically correct - if a high ranking police officer texted 'your signing N Maynard' the education system in this country really is shit, or someone is taking the piss out of someone!
cc_star Posted 22 July 2011 Posted 22 July 2011 So this is just a self-perpetuating rumour, where someone has said it and then it gets repeated by enough people so that those people believe it to be true and then repeat it to even more people? Without an original source, I'm struggling to give a sh1t

Liamlcfc1 Posted 22 July 2011 Posted 22 July 2011 I don get some of you guys sometimes either you want info or you dont
tomtom Posted 22 July 2011 Posted 22 July 2011 I suggest you ask him where he got the information, because it's probably been read on here by either him, or someone he knows. I had these rumour merry-go-rounds. He wouldn't of read it on here, as like I say he's not a city fan or a big football fan for that matter,.... all he just said was a club official telling his colleague.,.. who granted may or may not be in the loop
MikeyT Posted 22 July 2011 Posted 22 July 2011 Oh Mikey you're quite the jester. Just bored and trying to pass the time till i have to go out in an hour.
artursteppe Posted 22 July 2011 Posted 22 July 2011 Because everyone is always grammatically correct when texting..... No, of course everyone isn't grammatically correct when txting, I know that, but no-one who isn't a thicko would text 'your' when 'you're' is correct - they have different meanings, ( or didn't you know ). Furthermore a presumably fairly intelligent senior police officer certainly wouldn't want people to think he was a thicko, in any circumstances. The point I am making, ( just to spell it out ) is that the information from that source totally lacks credibility.
cc_star Posted 22 July 2011 Posted 22 July 2011 The original source is this bloody thread... doing my nut in. May as well just add that Xavi, Inesta & Messi were seen in the Holiday Inn last night then, but the deal is stalling as Sven doesn't want to offer Waggy in part exchange
Libertine Posted 22 July 2011 Posted 22 July 2011 Just bored and trying to pass the time till i have to go out in an hour. We'll miss you. I guarantee nothing will have happened by your return.

I think the person taking the piss is you pal! It's probably the fact I've got predictive text and typing from a phone!...... sorry for the original post
MikeyT Posted 22 July 2011 Posted 22 July 2011 We'll miss you. I guarantee nothing will have happened by your return. I shall miss you too. Fingers crossed something will have happened though. I'll be longing for FT the whole time i'm out. I'm bound to get withdrawal symptoms.
tomtom Posted 22 July 2011 Posted 22 July 2011 No of course it isn't, I know that, but no-one who isn't a thicko would text 'your' when 'you're' is correct - they have differant meanings, or didn't you know? Differant?..... the irony

I suppose when you wanted to type 'he wouldn't have read it on here', your electronic device predicted your message as 'he wouldn't of read it on here'.

It's like one big happy family on here

Be patient and new intelligent football postings will appear. How about trying it yourself, enlighten us with one of your observations or views, just to break the boredom.
Itsthejoeker Posted 22 July 2011 Posted 22 July 2011 Waghorn is one of the most frustrating players in the team to watch (with the exception of Howard and Dyer), constantly wastes decent through balls and runs at defenders and ends up on the floor. Sloppy first touch, and wastes too many chances blasting them over the bar. Don't get me wrong, I really like him, but he played well in a team that have all gone separate ways and he is struggling to blend in with the new set of players we have. I'll miss him. But I won't be pining after him.
AmyLGK Posted 22 July 2011 Posted 22 July 2011 Really...? He's not THAT good in all honesty. I respect the guy for trying so hard, but I'm not sure he will ever develop into anything particularly special. YES - BUT I LOVE HIM!
