Happy Face 29 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Had a good night. The best game of football I've seen in years. Felt dead old stood in the corner with the 12 year olds. they were actually turning around when they got to that bit in "woah shoila Ameobi" Made me think what a twat I must sound to the older generations. These kids are going on about Ameobi being a legend, but they go on NO calling Keegan a twat. I think they're a fucking disgrace, yet I do the same myself.... I've never had a good word for Supermac, I slate him for talking shite on the radio and always being the talking head at every miserable turn for the club. I've bought the story that he fucked us over in '74. It's the ONE thing i think of about his playing days at Newcastle...that he goaded the scousers into murdering us in the final. And I've always been of the opinion that if some cockney station would have him, he'd be away in a shot to be the Arsenal 'legend'. But I've never met anyone that saw him play with a bad word for the bloke. My boss waxes lyrical about how he is (still) the best striker that he's ever seen at the club....and i argue with him. I won't have it. A true Geordie hero and i dismiss him as a twat with stupid squinty eyes and goofy teeth. Anyway, I'm basically saying I had a moment of clarity watching the bairns around me and thinking back to the Keegan ESPN thread. Supermac's not a twat. I am. Sorry Malcolm. I'll buy you a pint next time I see you at a Bob Dylan concert rather than giving you the evils and grumbling at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Very good post HF. What I would also add is the naivety of youth has a lot to do with it as well, you're much more likely to hero worship when young and stupid. We all did it, we all argued the toss for a plyer we idolised and refused to see any weakness and would use arguments like 'because he's class' when anyone slagged them. Oh to be able to look through those rose tinted glasses now and not be the grumpy cynical bastard I am now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Some people are just short sighted, Chris, there's always room for growth. That's right Fop. And one day, long in the future, when you admit to a mistake or a fault, or even just accept someone's point in one of your naysaying "I only say what's wrong" nothing constructive to add fingers in ears naanaanaaa I'm not listening arguments, then maybe you can start to walk the path of personal growth too. Good luck with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 HF puts the mentalist in sentimentalist. Supermac is a twat, whether he was the best player in the universe wont change that fact.

Lots of old-timers i know still use the phrase 'darkies' to refer to non-whites, should i take a leaf out of their book all the time, sometimes, or never? Wisdom with age is a fallacy with only those who truly strive to learn from their lives acheiving anything like it. The amount of old people i know who are essentially cunts is disturbing. I'm not even clear on what your argument is. Judge a person by all his words and actions across his life, not selected high points from his late 20's. Any other approach is just nonsensical sentimentalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donaldstott 0 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 (edited) I came close to a hiding in a Chinese restaurant in Breda for wearing a supermac t-shirt. Despite this he's still an absolute legend and a bloody nice fella to boot. Yes he was a big mouthed cocky footballer, but he ultimately chose to settle in the north east, which shows he has an affinity for the place.
