  1. Yeah. And those knee jerk wankers with their lack of perspective. They're cunts too
  2. Every time a famous bod pops their clogs Brucie has some sort of Highlander-type "quickening" headrush.....THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE
  3. Agreed. He wrote that when he was only 25(ish), round about the end of the 80s . I think a lot of "tortured souls" have life knowledge very early on and have the (emotional) intelligence to signal the painful truth about life via their work to the rest of us, whether we're listening or not. I couldn't begin to express thoughts like these in my mid twenties. I still couldn't tbh, but when you see it laid out like that a quarter of a century on I think it's plain he was an astonishing talent
  4. 3 nowt now. They're at home to Cardiff on the 30th so we're likely to be second going into the new year regardless of how we do v forest. Which I'd have taken in August tbh.
  5. These are the days of the open hand They will not be the last Look around now These are the days of the beggars and the choosers This is the year of the hungry man Whose place is in the past Hand in hand with ignorance And legitimate excuses The rich declare themselves poor And most of us are not sure If we have too much But we'll take our chances Because god's stopped keeping score I guess somewhere along the way He must have let us alt out to play Turned his back and all god's children Crept out the back door And it's hard to love, there's so much to hate Hanging on to hope When there is no hope to speak of And the wounded skies above say it's much too late Well maybe we should all be praying for time These are the days of the empty hand Oh you hold on to what you can And charity is a coat you wear twice a year This is the year of the guilty man Your television takes a stand And you find that what was over there is over here So you scream from behind your door Say "what's mine is mine and not yours" I may have too much but i'll take my chances Because god's stopped keeping score And you cling to the things they sold you Did you cover your eyes when they told you That he can't come back Beacuse he has no children to come back for It's hard to love there's so much to hate Hanging on to hope when there is no hope to speak of And the wounded skies above say it's much too late So maybe we should all be praying for time
  6. It's from the sun like but it's still pretty fuckin funny wouldn't put it past the dildo sellers either. Think they've bitten off more than they can chew this time, all the stick over the stadium move may have given them something to think about.
  7. Yes YES! Closely followed by Uncle Buck
  8. They've just played Bournemouth, we almost took the father in law. RIP
  9. Am sure there's still an element of old money patronage in the col but I don't see much evidence of it nowadays in the work of JP Morgan or Goldman Sachs, regardless of their histories or origins. I'm at a loss to suggest who would make a good ceremonial president for the UK. I used to go out with a staunch Australian republican and she said every single person born in oz should be able to conceivably become president if they didn't have the queen as head of state. I asked her who would get her vote and she said the cricketer Mark Taylor I racked my brains for his uk equivalent and all I could come up with was Sir Stephen Redgrave...that was a few years back but I can't think of anyone else who appears to be a better candidate. Over to you
  10. They're pretty low down my list of things to be aggrieved about. Compared to the the road this generation of politicians are leading us down or the goings on in the massive tax haven that is the city of London they barely register tbh. My thing is what and/or who do you replace them with? Who the fuck in public life do you vote to be president? Most are as bad or in a lot of cases fully worse than the scots/German scroungers.
  11. Visiting Selhurst throughout the last 20 odd years has been thoroughly dispiriting, and it's fuckin regularity due to having Wimbledon as tenants for a decade was just depressing. Then all of a sudden after Palaces last promotion they've sudden gained a bunch of bell ends in black with a drum and a bell(?) and a few flags. It's a bit sketchy for me because we only got through the turnstiles last November where they've built a bar/smoking area and we didn't get beyond that, having arrived at roughly 3-20pm, by which time we'd already let 3? in . Half time came and went and there we stayed, barely watching the parcel of shit unfolding a few yards away on the outside tv screens. Im a tiny bit ashamed that I didn't personally see a blade of grass that day, but who'd actually look forward to a Pardew v McLaren fixture in the first place? Tbh I was only there out of my daft misplaced sense of "duty" to the 11 black and white twats on the pitch that I can't seem to shake off. A year on and we're literally a different club in every single way, and they're going to appoint hippo heed. Fuck them and their dull, typically entitled cockney followers. They deserve Allardyce.
  12. Chief suspect in the Berlin attack shot dead by police in Milan
  13. Sunderland’s Jermain Defoe has an annual pass for Beamish Museum http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4060058/Newcastle-wing-wizard-Matt-Ritchie-talks-tough-route-top.html#ixzz4TdvEM9Bn
  14. If he'd managed to fluke keeping us in the division he'd still be here. Cheers Palace, we've got a champions league winning manager because of you
  15. Gone edit: 5 live reporting he's "been asked to stand down"
  16. If there's not a rumour about us signing Kieron Gibbs on loan in January till the end of the season with a view to a permanent transfer then am fuckin well starting it now, OK??
  17. I got an amazon fire stick, loaded it with kodi and exodus etc etc, its mostly fuckin hopeless for sport thought. So I stole my old mans email address and BT internet account details, then talked my father in law into giving me his sky go log in with full sports subscription
  18. There's a huge cloud of suspicion over the veracity of the reports coming from Aleppo. Who do you get your stuff from @Dr Gloom? Is it mostly wire copy?
  19. There's been no msm in Aleppo for years because the "rebels" are basically the same al Qaeda affiliated cunts who beheaded Alan Henning. Peter Hitchens wrote a good piece on it in yesterday's mail on Sunday.
  20. Think yesterday was the first time I'd stood on actual terracing since our visit to Craven Cottage in Fulham's first PL season. Some older mags were plainly of the fabled "KBJ" or "post 92" variety who were crapping themselves having been caught in a crush on a terracing which was either amusingly ironic or ironically amusing. Not as funny as me ending up on my arse during the celebrations for both goals though Lots of (mostly unwarranted) criticism of Diame and Dummet from the usual sort of gobshites, strange that they don't vocalise how Shelvey can disappear from games in the second half which is a lot more worrying and just a continuation of his habit of doing so last season (that was sometimes for 90mins though) I do get the feeling that although he's been mostly great to watch this season he's a bit of a flat track bully. Burton were game as fuck and probably deserved a point for their efforts. Am really enjoying the football this season, we dont go anywhere and put 10 men behind the ball, and most opposition teams don't do it either. I don't think Rafa has ever been known for complete Keegan-esque free flowing football, and I don't have any problems with that, there really is more than one way to skin a footballing rabbit and being slighlty attritional in our play has been very satisfying for me anyway. Rafa stood in the goalmouth at full time, getting his brogues muddied no doubt, calmly applauding the supporters, the players taking their lead from him. No over the top histrionics from them, no throwing shirts into the crowd, just appreciation for support after doing their jobs effectively. Now on to the next game, no dramas. The manager seemed to be loving the whole thing, just as at home at what is basically a non league ground as he was at the Bernebeu. A football man to his marrow.

    Happy birthday Gemmil, don't forget the rope,shovel and gaffer tape tonight
  22. He claimed a threesome with Jenny Falconer and Kirsty Gallagher too. Again, a visit to casualty appears to be avoided by these young ladies
  23. Anyone checked if Dave is ok?
