Good start though slice with new faces in the team, still need to gel too. Wolves at home on saturday. 3pts from that and we're laughing.
Yeah, we played shite really; Chicken FC should have gotten a point. Not our problem, though, just got to keep grinding out the points until our players come back. MTF
Fernando Torres walks into a bar and says, "I'll have a couple of shots please." The barman says, "That's not like you."
Torres used to shoot for fun at Liverpool- he doesn't have a great shot but he was razor sharp back then and could ping them in.
This John Terry situation is fucking ridiculous. The mood seems to be "Oh yeah, he's innocent until proven guilty, but........" Sorry. There is no "but" when it comes to Due Process. Right now, its an allegation. Pisses me off to see cretins and morons being allowed to dictate affairs because they are a member of some quango or gang of some sort. If I was Terry, and I was stripped, I would quit the International game altogether. Nobody gets stripped because an accusation was made against them. Nobody should get stripped because there is a need to balance the books. If England is worried about its reputation then let them work on things like religious and race hatred stemming from areas of its "Minority" population. Its none of their business "leading by example" in Poland or the Ukraine- both of whom were taking a merciless battering while Chamberlain and Churchill faffed about in London. Their reputations are intact, and nothing Jason Roberts says changes any of that.
Thats fine. But hope it if and or when he is convicted. Right now, its one mans word against another. In the meantime, I give John Terry benefit of law. <object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/A-nJR15e0F4?version=3&feature=player_detailpage"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/A-nJR15e0F4?version=3&feature=player_detailpage" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="360"></object>
So Terry was stripped of the captaincy by people who don't pick the team, don't pick the squad, and don't pick the captain. Two quick points. 1. The stripping was treated as a total non-event by the news media, it got a bit of a yellow-mention on Sky News, Sky Sports News on the other hand treated it as a total non-event. Interesting and timely abandonment of their vaunted "Breaking News" traditions. Coincidence? Of course not. 2. There now seems to be a comfortable departure from normative proceedings in that somebody can effectively be treated as guilty outside of any any worthwhile {Court} actual finding to that effect. Is it not newsworthy to ask how, or why, people who have no locus standi when it comes to the appointing of captain should now usurp that authority {Capello's} and act in such a fashion as to undo the effect of a decision which they themselves did not have any business making in the first place {i.e. remove Terry from the captaincy when they were not permitted to appoint him captain themselves in the first place} Suppose then, further, that Terry was not the Captain.....what chastisement would they visit on him then? Ban him altogether? Remove him from the team??? Who is Jason Roberts to say that the England dressingroom {and how many times has be been there??} will be "toxic"?? Is the dressing room at Chelsea "toxic"?? Ashley Cole, Ramires, Sturridge??? All black. As if that were the deciding factor
I don't really care about the England side any more but I shed a few tears for Terry. Tears of laughter, but tears all the same.
Why? I don't support England at all, but I don't feel that way. I know the way this is going in any case, Terry will be found not guilty {the sheer elapsing of time, pushing on for a year after the fact, trickery of lawyers who will argue this and that about jury selection etc} and will emerge triumphant. The FA will throw its hands up in the air, say they did their best, look at our record on Suarez etc etc, and applaud the Met and the Jury for a job well done. Then, the laws all being flat, Terry, who is not a particularly nice person, and his media cronies, will turn to face the imbeciles who have been running their mouth as of recent. Who loses? Nobody, really, cos it was all a crock of shit to begin with. Blatter was right. Anyone who thinks a man on £50,000 a week can be adversely affected by what another man says to him during a game of football needs their fucking head examined. And thats before we even get into the repeated inconsistencies in decision making down the years on the issue. So I go back to my original point- the land being planted thick with law- laws which when cut down leave the woodsman with no shelter. Be wary about chopping down too many laws in order to satisfy a tribal urge to see a guy hurt, because there won't be any cover left when Terry is found not-guilty and him and his lot take their turn to crow and yelp...
A quaint wee doll town compared to London. I'm just a poor wee catholic boy who wants his weans back it does me fine. It'd just end up on the streets in London drinking pulse & slurring at tourists like 10,000 Glasgwegians before me.
All bullshit and hyperbole aside....you couldn't fucking pay me to live in London. Just not my scene at all.
I'm a city boy through and through, the bigger the city the better. That said I'd end up in weekly fist fights because Londoners are intolerable. The last person I punched ungloved was a cockney in London and I almost came with satisfaction. The whole city had been insisting on it for 4 days straight. Place is still amazing, Id bear it
I don't give a monkey's fuck about the Chelshit vs Man Utd game on sunday. United will probably win handily, plus no scumbag Terry for that lot. It's all about Ireland vs Wales on sunday :Thumbs:
