Magnik
2nd in Div 4
Manchester City
Triumph. Nicholas Street. The Preds Cup.
Disaster. Tink'ring. The unforgiving minute.
None
2024-25 (Preds Cup runner up)
Like most kids born during the Twenty Tens, Magnik has only ever known a world in which Man City dominate the domestic scene. He claims affiliation based on tenuousity. In short, there's a road in Manchester named after his alter ego - Nicholas Street. He neglected to consider that [newly promoted/relegated/crowned world club champions] Burnley also boast a road named the same. So, predictably, he "supports" Man City.
He also, rather maddeningly, made the final on his inaugural appearance in the Preds Cup. This skewed sense of achievement is troubling. How can we expect this poor child to flourish when success comes as easy as this? No, he needs some grounding. You see, by inviting Magnik to join The Preds proper, you are not only securing the Street family dynasty, you will be securing his future...
If you can Pred but not make Preds your master,
If you can think but not make tink'ring your aim,
If you meet with Triumph and Disaster,
And treat those two imposters just the same:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute,
When that darn goal sees 3 points gone,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!"
