The Fish

Key players in the previous campaign were obviously better than the Championship. We've an average Premier League side. We're nowhere near the top 6, but to be fair, who the fuck is? There's a raft of teams who're a bag of bollocks and we're certainly better than the two that came up with us. We've added quality and, perhaps most importantly, pace to the flanks. Merino is a step up on Colback already and Lejeune looks classy. Of course I'd like to see more quality up front and perhaps someone at left back, but we're not a shitshow and we'll be all right.

This is how Skynet starts.

Hair shirts were used as a form of self punishment, used by ascetics (ascetes?)

Does that hair shirt itch?

Well, no Wolfy, it's a central tenet of your philosophy and it is contradictory. Well you've mentioned them in the past, I'm sure.

Reported.

No it wasn't, not in any way shape or form. What do your friends and family think of your worldview?

You accept a view that isn't provable, after stating you only accept views that are provable. They are mutually exclusive. And, What do your friends and family think of your worldview?

You're dancing around the point Wolfy, But you accept a view that isn't provable. How do you address this lie? Oh and I'll ask again; What do your friends and family think of your worldview?

Who are you to say cast aspersions on anybody Wolfy? Your Ice Dome doesn't even satisfy your own criteria for an acceptable view. You only accept views that are provable, except for your Ice Dome view which needs no proof. What do your friends and family think of your world view?

You have provided nothing, but arrogance and ignorance. When met with calm explanations from experts in their field, you dismiss it out of hand because it challenges your worldview. A stark example of close mindedness. At the same time you hypocritically present a worldview which has zero proof and goes against every natural science. It's rank arrogance to claim the entire scientific community with all their proven theories and pesky evidence is wrong and your worldview is right. You insult brave men and women who've been to space, you insult victims of atrocities, you insult everyone and the only reason I can think of is jealousy. Oh and people have questioned the globe, space and so on, for centuries. What they found was that the earth is in fact a celestial body, spinning around the a star we called the sun, which itself is part of a galaxy, which is one of countless, in a vastness we call the universe. Scientists question everything, test it, prod it and amend or comprehensively alter their theories when new technologies or new methods provide more information. But do so with an evidence based approach. The scientific method. What you do is say "Nah, it's ice innit".

That doesn't counter my point Wolfy. Either you require proof to accept a view and therefore you shouldn't accept your view of the earth within an Ice Dome that has no proof. Or you lied when you claimed you require proof to accept a view in which case your demand for proof of the consensus is ridiculous. Which is it?

You're contradicting yourself Wolfy. Either you only accept views that are provable. Or you lied when you claimed that.

Well you accept this Ice Dome view, with literally no proof whatsoever. So to claim you only accept views that are provable is to tell a big lie.

That's not true at all Wolfy.

... you're refusing to accept an alternative view? Who could have predicted that?

Biggest irony remains that Wolfy insists he's open minded, when he refuses to receive any view alternative to his own. There's also black or white stance he takes on scrutiny. Either you scrutinise everything, or you blindly accept everything. For Wolfy, there's no middle ground. I'd say everyone on here as a decent level of scepticism, proven in the politics thread if no where else. But to Wolfy, we're all blindly accepting everything because we don't blindly believe we live in an ice dome.

We get it, you've got a "girlfriend".

Aye, also it'll no doubt hurt that their woes coincide with a sense of optimism and progress for us. If we had stayed in the Championship I don't think they'd be as salty. Doesn't help that whenever they're mentioned in the press (for purely on-field issues) they tend to be compared to us. "Sunderland have failed to land their first choices for manager and a disrupted preseason for Grayson doesn't compare well with Benitez's focussed assurance in the previous summer" "Sunderland have gone down but don't look like they're aiming to come straight back up as Newcastle United managed" "Sunderland haven't invested significantly in their Championship squad like Middlesbrough have and Newcastle did.

I don't have any Hearts supporting mates, so I will check their boards Apparently Cathro's on his way to work for his old boss at Wolves. Some men just aren't cut out to be a football manager.

Wolfy's world would really collapse if he fully understood what can be taken from "I think therefore I am".

What Wolfy sees, or what his closed mind can understand.

Stopped reading after this outright lie.

Get a load of Mr Spock here.
