The 2015-16 World Fitba Thread!

You drive down a motorway at 170 plus for several hours in a vehicle that was in no way, shape or form built for comfort? While surrounded by a bunch of other dudes doing the same thing and you are all trying to get in the lead?

This is like comparing hitting a heavy bag with fighting Manny Pacquaio

 

agFEEBSed that the shit is fucking boring

 

I'm sure competitive motorsport requires a high level of concentration. Driving for a couple of hours (and it is usually two hours, rather than 'several') competitively requires alertness, awareness etc. So does chess. Both can be sports. Neither is athletic.

If someone said to me 'Lewis Hamilton is a world class athlete' I'd laugh in their face. He drives a car. He isn't Mo Farah.

MTF

 

Not a world class athlete, but definitely more of an athlete than a guy who tosses darts for a living

 

I'd imagine driving F1 would be pure exhausting tbh

 

Neither is an athlete, obviously. I'm not even sure what the debate is here.

MTF

 

I'd die of boredom. I actually like driving, I find it a great stress reliever, but going round and round and round, even at that speed, would be fucking bish IMO.

MTF

 

Ever went go-carting, Feebes?

 

Aye. It was fun for a while then it got boring. It was more fun when we went pissed on a stag do.

MTF

 

Fucking awful moment from the young kid in goal for NUFC. Terrible goal to ship.

MTF

 

Just that one is more physically strenuous than the other

 

Well, I'd agree that motor racing drivers are more athletic than your average professional darts player. Neither is particularly physically strenuous. One of them involves sitting down throughout and (unlike cycling and rowing) they are propelled mechanically.

MTF

 

It's mentally exhausting. It isn't physically exhausting, though, unless you are driving for so long that you need sleep.

MTF

 

disaFEEBLEd

 

NUFC nil-one down. Terrible goalkeeping error separating the sides. Riviere is fucking shit. If we score next we'll win this. Spurs are poo.

MTF

 

::

Like, seriously, you chaps are DERANGED. Driving is physically exhausting? Fucking millions of fat cunts drive for hours every day, you BASTARDS.

MTF

 

It's because they are not ATHLETIC enough to carry out their EXHAUSTING driving duties.

MTF

 

Look at this ATHLETE, battling G-Forces and PURE EXHAUSTION to get around every day:



MTF

 

How is this CUNT dealing with all those G-Forces?



MTF

 

Game over. Fucking shit.

MTF

 

Driving at extreme speeds for several hours is physically tiring

 

What sort of team talk is that cunt Pardew giving these stiffs? 45 seconds later it's all over. Useless old cunt.

MTF

 

Cabella has just missed an absolute fucking sitter. And I mean an absolute sitter. Two yards out, unmarked, open target. Useless cunt missed the ball entirely.

Hideous fact - no NUFC player has EVER scored a league cup quarter final goal.

MTF

 

Fiiiiiiirstly, where do you draw the line between physical and mental exhaustion? Lactic acid, cortisol build up, when you're done you're done. Secondly, ya nutter, comparing driving on a motorway to executing a hairpin turn at 210 miles an hour with another car trying to overtake you because they both happen in a car makes aboooot as much sense as comparing shopping in Boots the chemist and Froch-Kessler II because both can happen in the o2 arena.:will: Or like, some other better crazy comparison of your choice.
