LeazesMag 0 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 What is wrong with socialising in a pub? apparently, to intelligent and esteemed people such as mancmag and MonkeysFist, having a few pints in a pub means you are "drunk", while drinking in front of your PC at 2 in the morning is "normal" [or something] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it quite perplexing when people are sitting up in the middle of the night, posting and sober ie they must be if they are saying someone else is "drunk". Do they have a life ?

McFaul 35 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 He's played 11games for spurs man When did he become fucking cafu? About the same time that Simpson became good enough for an England call up. He's been very impressive for QPR and Villa aside from his turn outs for Tottenham. We paid £500,000 for Danny Simpson, and I have no grudge towards him over Unitedgate, he's no different from most people of his age group from inner city Manchester - thick as fuck, clueless and dopey as fuck. Anyway I think that's his value 500k, and it's almost embarrassing him watching him tweet about England call ups, we will outgrow Simpson as early as this season. He's a decent put on, but no more than that, his level is Wigan/Cardiff/Leeds, he doesn't offer enough going forward, and hides at times to be considered anywhere near England class. Can you seriously imagine "Simmo" scoring the goal Walker did against the Arsenal? Who gives a fuck about a right backs iq or goal scoring abilities? Simpson, like Taylor before him, gets so much unwarranted stick. He helped get us promoted, helped put us 3rd and helped make a formidable rw partnership with Barton last season. I'd hardly say it was formidable. He's a decent put on, but that's all, most MATCH-GOING NON FAKE BOYCOTTING supporters will tell you the same. He's not an outlet, he doesn't like having the ball, that's honestly. Sooner Santon gets a regular game the better for our long term prospects, if someone like Villa are daft enough to give us 3m I'd snap their hauns off. I'm a non-match going, fake boycotting so-called fan but that's a spot on assessment. Simpson is a shit footballer and he's not great defensively either. On top of which he thinks he's a canny bit better than he actually is. Nar you're not, you just want to spend more time with your family which is a good and acceptable reason for not going. People claiming they are boycotting when we're third top, then consider getting season tickets when the price goes down to £207 mentioning no names, they're the true NMGFB's. Regarding Simpson, him tweeting about himself getting an England call up a few hours before the squad is announced, well it's hard to think of anything more cringeworthy. I still don't bother much with twitter Stevie....am I still missing anything ? Aye follow @number9nurse probably the most enthralling experience the t'interweb can provide you with. I didn't ask you to follow me I stopped following you after about 12hours you were that boring!

Sonatine 11329 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 FA shamefully exploiting Poppy Appeal Wed Nov 09 08:47AM It threatened to be a bad week for the FA, didn't it? There they were, with their captain withdrawn from action against Spain, and their best player left out, when FIFA stepped in with their refusal to let England wear poppies on their shirts. In PR terms, it is the ultimate gift for the FA. The poppy is overwhelmingly popular (and rightly so), while FIFA is overwhelmingly unpopular - and the tabloids are going mad. The FA wasted no time cynically milking all the publicity they could out of the situation. Their second request for special dispensation was always going to fail. The FA knew that, but they made it anyway because headlines about nasty, 'anti-English' FIFA are better than headlines about John Terry. While ED absolutely supports the Poppy Appeal, it actually thinks FIFA might have got this one right. Poppies on football shirts are a relatively new phenomenon - last season was the first time every Premier League club wore one. For decades previously, it was perfectly possible for football to honour the country's war dead by other means, such as the laying of wreaths and a minute's silence. Both of these are approved by FIFA and seem like perfectly apt tributes. In any case, it's not about FIFA passing judgement on Remembrance Day, but whether it should set a precedent allowing subsequent, more controversial, emblems to appear. At the moment, FIFA allows nothing, and that seems like a pretty good rule of thumb. Key to the FA's case is the argument that the poppy is not political. You're not endorsing the conflicts themselves, rather the people who died in them. Quite right too - the magnitude of a soldier's sacrifice does not change based on whether he dies on the Normandy beaches, in Belfast or Basra. You honour the war dead, not the wars. Of course, in the real world it is not so easy to divorce political sentiment from the debate. Hence the Daily Mail's typically snide headline: "Poppy ban 'in case we upset Germans'" (and today's "Now the Germans back us to wear poppies!" - ah, so they're not so evil after all!). ED does not know any German who would be offended by a poppy, but it does know a mid-market tabloid whose nose might be put out of joint if Germany wore a similar symbol to honour its war dead, including those who fought and died under the Nazi flag in the Second World War. Those men and women made the same sacrifice, even for a manifestly unjust cause, and their descendants - members of an open and tolerant society - should be able to honour their fallen relatives without shame. ED has no idea what consideration the Daily Mail would give to this argument while shoehorning the words 'Nazi' and 'FIFA' into the same headline. And when the sports minister Hugh Robertson and PM David Cameron wade in to tell you the poppy "is not political in any way", you know it probably is. That's not because of the poppy itself, but the people who have shamelessly chosen to twist this controversy for their own ends. If the poppy is non-political, why have the FA, the government and the press exploited it to bury bad news, score points against FIFA and sell newspapers? QUOTE OF THE DAY: Hugh Robertson's lamentable letter to FIFA: "We fully understand, and respect, FIFA's rules on its member nations not adorning their shirts with 'commercial', 'political', or 'religious' symbols or messages. The FA and FAW do not intend to contravene these rules. "However, the public feel very strongly about this issue, which is seen as an act of national remembrance to commemorate those who gave their lives in the service of their country. "It is not religious or political in any way. Wearing a poppy is a display of national pride, just like wearing your country's football shirt. I hope very much that you will approve this request." Or in other words: "Dear FIFA, please let Our Boys wear poppies. When you said 'no' the first time maybe you didn't realise we really, really, really want to wear them. This is not political. Yours, a politician." FOREIGN VIEW: Jose Bosingwa will not play for Portugal while Paulo Bento is in charge. "It pains me to say but while Paulo Bento remains as Portugal coach I won't put on the national shirt again," the Chelsea defender told A Bola. Last week Bento explained that Bosingwa had not been called up for this month's Euro 2012 play-off against Bosnia because the full-back did not meet the necessary requirements, including "emotional and mental ones". Bosingwa said he was bewildered by the coach's remarks. "I feel offended and disrespected with these declarations about me... I don't understand what the coach meant by emotional and mental matters because I find it hard for a player to reach the level I've achieved by being weak in the points he mentioned," Bosingwa said.
