but those tiny errors can be the margin between ultimate success and failure, for example in degree classifications

well as you seem to know them, you can probably answer that question yourself as according to your last post, you're related to me

i know you're wrong about me & that i'm right about you. obviously you & CT have many things in common, not only your brief flirtations with NUFC

explains why his post didn't say "edited by".....

i was completely sober when i posted those things and, profanity apart, i think they're accurate about you & Christmas Tree, but i have offered you a chance to talk them through, which i assume you've declined. your prerogative, but also your loss. you can change your mind any time; if you do, i may change my mind about you. happy new year

Portsmouth to Le Havre or Newhaven to Dieppe?

he edited it; the post i quote directly below is what he actually said, referring to a mysterious player by the name of Williams.....

well i did try; it seems as if compromise isn't in your vocabulary. i'm genuinely sorry you've taken this confrontational attitude.

i've never hit anyone in my life & don't intend to start now i'm nearly 49. i think you need to examine your conduct a little more rigorously if you think it is only your behaviour towards Stevie that has incurred my displeasure. new year; new start is the overweening message though

i certainly don't think that his psychological mastery is the only weapon in his armoury, but as the relative quality of his squad has diminished of late, he has used it to greater effect in defeating rivals. he's had 26 years at Manchester United & in that time has defeated sustained challenges from Arsenal & Chelsea, eventually after a few years of jostling for leadership & he'll see citeh off, no doubt. i do wonder if he'll step aside in the summer after winning the title, allowing Mourinho to take charge.

are you still meeting Stevie before the Everton game? tell me where & we can have a talk about this situation

no it isn't, it's an accurate & insightful deconstruction of your limited to non-existent knowledge of a game that to you is a whimsical pastime. in the 1980s, the likes of you never went near SJP because you knew your moronic opinions & cretinous attitudes would not be tolerated by NUFC's support. the tragedy of the modern game is that morons like you are given a platform by the internet & crass guff like the 3 Legends phone-in through which you can spout inane drivel as if it was the truth, fully aware that you will never be able to defend your nonsensical opinions & so you don't bother, passing off crap like Shane Ferguson as being the reason why we're not 5th in the table.

bloody hell; last time i saw Neubauten was 87 in London; supported by, i kid you not, Showaddywaddy. i've not kept up with them for years, but "Halbe Mensch" (especially "Letztes Beast im Himmel") & "Stragetem gegen Arkitekturen" (apologies for 32 year old O Level German errors) were classic albums. i knew Blixa had left the Bad Seeds; wasn't aware he'd reactivated Neubauten. as far as GY!BE go, if you've heard the new one, you'll realise "Mladic" is the most powerful piece of music in years. Sadly I'll not be able to take you up on your offer, unless i can get respite care for the old dear.....

eloquent & accurate

well we'll agree to differ then, but Ferguson has a very wide ranging agenda in his attempts to secure both primacy & dominion by his team.

a five act tragedy? a restoration comedy? 50s kitchen sink realism? Brecht? Ionesco? Victorian melodrama?

actually i'm a very happy drunk; i'm a right cunt when tired and / or frazzled, both of which i was the last 2 days with the old dears.....

Which Williams would that be; Serena or Venus? or are you talking shit for the sake of it again?

in your headlong rush in to assuming this press conference is further grist to your mill in a tedious & scarcely credible vendetta against Pardew, i think you utterly fail to appreciate the nuances of Ferguson's diatribe. he certainly isn't bothered about NUFC or Pardew in the broader scheme of things; he has done this purely to try to stir up Pardew & the players to get a result against Arsenal tomorrow, out of an attempt to show we've been hard done to; it's very much a case of my enemy's enemy is my friend. Ferguson isn't a curmudgeonly old twat who has lost the plot, he is a Machiavellian tactician & an unrivalled master at the psychological side of the game.

agreed; the best outcome for everyone concerned

does this mean you're offering respite care? very much appreciated; it's desperately tiring running around after them both all day long.

i wasn't talking about you; honestly. please forget anything nasty i said

i've been a bit of a dick, haven't i? sorry folks xx

Pardew winning "the battle of the minds" is meaningless; Ferguson won the points. There isn't a "dignity based" table, only one on results..... Ferguson; spineless, toadying minion of the Glazers. Pardew; spineless, toadying minion of Ashley. What's the difference? Trophies

African Cup of Nations; one of the big name countries are going to sign him & that will be not just Newcastle United, but England's loss too.
