sammynb 3355 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Trying to look for positives away from today's game, here in Australia we had our national (federal) election and after 11 years of being prime minister that twat John Howard and the liberal party* lost. It actually looks like not only has he lost the PM job but also his electoral seat, where he has been the local member (some might argue tool) for over 20 years. So now with Blair and Howard gone that just leaves the third axis of evil, Gdubya Bush in power! *Australian equivilant to the Torries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really think Howard is one of the biggest problems in the world you've got some serious perspective issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fop, you really are quite strange and in nedd (sic) of attention, aren't you? Did you not read, "our national elections"? The axis of evil bit well if you can't read between the lines, you can't read between the lines, can you? Please just go correct some prepubescent child's spelling so you can feel more like a MAN.

Lucky you, the time difference is now fucked and 3pm kickoffs are 2am. Midday are better, shame it can't be said the same for the football on offer.

Aye, like you Now button it and stop looking for an argument over something that wasn't even said. There is no argument here. There's what I said. Then there's a load of insults. So unless you think insults = reasoned and logical counter-argument then I think you're having comprehension difficulties. We should be arguing about Allardyce at times like this No point, he'll be gone by next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10857 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Fop I think the point is that at no point did Sammy actually mean that the Australian prime minister was a world problem. I reckon, and I know this is a massive leap of logic, but I reckon perhaps, he was saying it tongue in cheek? maybe? y'know... having a laugh?

The Fish 10857 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 ...really? you think, maybe ? I'm not sure like perhaps Sammy genuinely believes that one of the worlds most dangerous men is actually the Australian prime minister... you know, because of all the barricking (sp?) he does and how he say's ute instead of pick up... you know how that riles the yanks..

Fop 1 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Fop you are a boring prick who start an argument in an empty house. There's another one for you. Yup, par for the course, can't defeat the argument = go for pointless insult. Wouldn't have expected any more than that tbh. Fop I think the point is that at no point did Sammy actually mean that the Australian prime minister was a world problem. I reckon, and I know this is a massive leap of logic, but I reckon perhaps, he was saying it tongue in cheek? maybe? y'know... having a laugh? Axis of Evil suggests something much more like that, Axis of Fools, yeah fair enough (although I wouldn't really say Howard mattered enough even for that). The irony is even for Australia it may not be a great thing (new guy is very, very reminiscent of Blair in 1997 and look how great he was ), several domestic policies that may back fire long term, and although he withdrawing Australia's huge amount of troops from Iraq (all 500 of them), he's quite supportive of getting more deeply involved in Afghanistan (which has the potential to be a continuing blood bath for decades to come - especially if Pakistan goes back to a very pro-Taliban regime).
