ManUtd1 Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 You should try not to talk so much, friend. You'll sound far less stupid that way. UC Sampdoria / Portugal -- March 2037 An amazing night in London, followed by a workman-like performance at home in the 2nd leg. It wasn't pretty. It didn't have to be. This is not the first time we've beaten Pep's men on the counter. And it won't be the last, either, you bald, fraudulent ****. Look at me when I'm talking to you, Pep. I said look at me, you ****. That's right. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManUtd1 Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) Zlatan is all fired up for our return to Germany to face the Smurfs. He has an entire motivational speech planned, and promises that it will be epic. He's promised no nudity this time, too... I'll believe it when I see it. Drake had a plan for motivating the lads. But apparently pigs' blood is like, 25€ per litre... Given the quantities involved, we just couldn't afford it.

ManUtd1 Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) You know, someone once told me time is a flat circle. Everything we’ve ever done or will do, we’re gonna do over and over and over again. UC Sampdoria / Portugal -- April 2037 Honestly, Didier should have known better. We were always going to counterattack his blue-clad ****s in Germany and then, having seized the advantage, force them to attack with reckless abandon in the 2nd leg. But, as Zlatan would say, "pencils down, time's up, beotch." You lose, Didier. We're through to the semifinals. Between ourselves and Nantes, the pundits cannot decide which "Cinderella" is preferred. As the other 2 remaining sides...Diego Simeone's Barcelona is boring, no one can get excited about them. And in recent public opinion polling, Eddie Howe's West Ham was slightly less popular than syphilis. So we've got that going for us.

Everything we’ve ever done or will do, we’re gonna do over and over and over again. UC Sampdoria / Portugal -- May 2037 Zlatan's motivational tactics are getting more and more outlandish...and more effective. For the last one, Drake had to be excused to avoid triggering him...who would have thought that "the cage" could be used so effectively?! We've booked ourselves a trip to the Ernst-Happel-Stadion at the end of the month. The bandwagon fans have well and truly jumped on board...although a few are waiting for the outcome of tomorrow's Nantes-Barcelona match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The final will be played later today, probably in a few hours as I'm here on a third screen. Also...this is a year ahead of what I expected for Sampdoria. Lose, and we're going to be immense next year. Win...and we've got a newly-eligible team and the possibility of a new job, that just opened up and is really enticing. Either way, I'm happy.

I think that Bleu has got a few tricks up his sleeve, though. This is exactly where he wanted Nantes to be." "Wouldn't he want to be up a goal or two at the half, Gar?" "Not at all. This is all part of his Jedi mind trick, to lull Nantes into a false sense of security." "Gary. It's a dull, scoreless draw. How is anyone lulled into a false sense of anything?"

And it is time to move on... ...Malmo was available in mid-May. I put in for it, hoping that the starts would align so that I could move there (I already had the narrative reason sorted out...), but then I got the dreaded message saying my application for the job was unsuccessful, because they couldn't negotiate a fee with Sampdoria...before I'd even interviewed. It makes sense on a number of levels, I was just loving the narrative that would have seen Jean, Drake and Zlatan head to Malmo. We still might get there, just not yet. Ok, I'm tied up in other stuff for a few hours, but will get the full season review posted tonight, then resign from Sampdoritos (yes, I wish that had occurred to me sooner...) and push on to the Nations League/World Cup qualifying.
