Tbf it would depend how the question was put - I think I've got a decent level of general knowledge but don't know the place names in Arabic fiction that well.

Something like "Ferdinand did nothing all day and then scored an equaliser in injury time and he's supposed to be a good player - rubbish" oslt - one of the reasons I mentioned. He was also a huge advocate of fences. We went to Coventry in 84 and he'd slapped seats on a shit terrace and then built a horrendous fence in front of it which meant you could only see a small part of the pitch by standing. Being west Midlands policed standing was an arrestable offence. He played the fans champion well on TV but his actions off it were frequently against our interests.

In 76 coming to the last game they played Everton and Coventry played Bristol city. Only a mackem defeat and a draw in the other game would send them down. They duly lost 2-0 and of course the other game finished a bit late. It got to 2-2 and they allege that under Hill's control both teams stopped trying and supposedly even passed to each other which is hilarious if true. Of course their result is barely mentioned. I disliked Hill for quite a few reasons but he's nowhere near the "no loss" category never mind worthy of a celebration.

Yeah the gun was obviously coercive.

Of course the modicum of intelligence has to be combined with a sordid, some would say occasionally objectifying mind.

I understood what he meant fwiw.

Ranson wasnt actually that bad in the context of the times.

Silvio Maric, John Robertson.

Ozzy and the rest of the band grew up in Aston but in his admittedly ghosted autobiography there is no mention of football at all. Might be a latter day PR thing but I don't think he was a boyhood fan.

That Alli is a snide, soft cheating cunt - the perfect spurs player.

Mad Max Fury road. Canny for a no-brainer - Seemed determined to mirror the second one which I think is the best. When it came out I read a load of shit about it being a feminist film in that Theron was the main character - I don't think that matters in a pure action based film like this. Also anyone think the main baddie looked like a twisted Peter Stringfellow?

We did three for o level - Julius Caesar, Oliver Twist and Canterbury tales prologue. Only really enjoyed the Shakespeare. We were left to read the last 400 pages of OT ourselves and I only bothered with one of the final chapters to answer an essay question. I had no interest in knowing how it ended. - I now know what a contrived load of shit it was. We also did Lord of the flies and my family and other animals in earlier years but can't remember anything else famous.

Unsurprisingly I'm not up with "popular" music but I was lucky enough to hear an Adele song last week - River Lea I think it was called - which was the most vacuous piece of shit I've heard for years. Didnt really make me feel old - just lucky I have a bit of (subjective) taste.

I think it's a concept worth revisiting with the end of the cold war - like trident more from an economic pov for me.

Said from a ground built on a reclaimed colliery site. Nowt wrong with being proud of the heritage of course but from a purely toxic shithole pov they win easily.

Funny as fuck when they made the ground announcement with that bullshit and some local charva piped straight up with "that's somebody else's name mate".

Wouldn't know - I do read a lot of sci-fi but when I've tried to read the so called classical authors I've found them impenetrable. The only one of his I tried was Do they dream...... and I gave up on it.

BT are using it for football. There's also a quite a bit of porn available - not for everyone but where porn goes, the rest of the net/entertainment industry usually follows.

I tried Kodi a while ago but couldn't see how it fitted in with my world but I've found this thread interesting. A few months ago I bought some DVD ripping software over the net and they sent me an android box as a freebie so I might have a play. Can you save the content you stream?

I was expecting mass suicides when the Athletic Bilbao myth was exposed.

You're right here and your previous post but fucking hell , cheer up Even I enjoyed this victory.

Watched the first ep of that Man in the High Castle - not bad at all - will probably watch the rest.

No matter how much I kid myself the passion is ebbing, all it takes is beating these cunts to bring it all back. Fucking brilliant.

"Some left wingers are bellends which I'm going to use to justify smearing Corbyn because I'm a Tory, Zionist cunt"

Well that illustrates what I think we all agree on - I think you can be "intolerant" of Islam while not having a problem with Muslims in general. That applies to all of the other religions. I think what sets it apart is even though this applies to the rest to some degree, I think Muslims see their religion as central to their identity. This can mean it can consume individuals in a bad way.
