Phew.

Cheers.
any one got more Ray Parlour games for the new drinks?
(hears mrs’s voice in head telling him to behave himself and get on with the day’s serious business)
Ureds!
Comin’ right up guv’nor
Just picking up on a few points from the last drinking session:
Everyone, thanks for the birthday wishes!
Holloway, great work with the Swedish there – even got the “ö” in “födelsedagen” spot on 🙂
Clive, your last update from the SU had me laughing out loud. Brilliant stuff!
Lars @ 10
Glad you liked it,
Happy birthday.
cheers
clive
Morning All ,
Flying visit , but can I just say that , Clive , your updates from the SU are a complete joy – had me falling off my chair this morning .
I am heartened to hear your breakout is imminent – the HT would be a much poorer place without you – and I will be posting some breakout tips when time allows .
I am also in contact with Wolfgang Smallballs , and hope to shed some light on the Speedo mystery and whether he is indeed responsible for the disappearance of Mincing Mary Sebastian .
To be continued …
Lars – Hi , and hope the head is not too sore this morning 🙂
New post? I’m a bit slow this morning. I’m going to cut and paste from the previous one then….
‘Holic, enjoy the matches this weekend! Nice prize. Is it open to deranged regulars too or do you have to have proof of sanity to enter? 😉
From the previous post….
Morning All,
Firstly, thanks to all for the comments yesterday evening about the posts (tabs, H2H, ‘nasri, AL, Trev/PHW, etc.). After a hard day’s slaving in the drinks I had to go out with Storey Management in the evening to our local gym and test out Trev’s handywork. Tough life, eh?
‘Holic, really great to see you enter the murky depths of our collective insanity and play with the inmates. That LWCs ladies team was pure genius and put us all to shame. Best wishes to your management too.
Bruce Hornsby, Terry Thomas (I say!) and Brian Rix excellent additions to the ‘nearly Arsenals’. Do we have a D team yet?
Some other top, top posts from a sh*tfaced H2H and Lonestar. All I can say is “Lonestar Toes….”
Snir, top man for spotting Lars b’day on that Facebook thingy. Another spotters badge for you.
Lars, happy birthday for yesterday and skol! Trust you were upside down in a Stockholm ice bar or something equally entertaining
Clive, penultimate post?! How are we going to cope once you are ‘released’ from the Secure Unit? Football is not a suitable replacement for what you write. Regards to the VC and congrats to WSB for what appears to be a mission well accomplished.
Thank god for this site whilst the vultures are all still circling over The Ems. I’ve going back to my previous thoughts that the squad we have in Germany right now is pretty much it for the coming season. Maybe one more signing. I think the revolving door that ‘Holic likes to describe is now firmly biased towards out rather than in. Hope Lansbury gets another chance. JET, Eboue, Al, Bendy good luck and thanks for the fish. Cesc & Nasri, who the f*ck knows? Ah…. Lonestar toes
Ollie
From the previous post. Please come on over and join the party! 😉
Heh, I see, cheers TS!
didn’t expect anything before tonight.
I hope the pint ordered yonder hasn’t gone stale.
Ah, Ollie you made it. Pint was tip-top thanks. Please pull up a chair and join me for a second if time permits.
Tabs @ 12
thnks for your kind words,
Hopefully Wolfie can help to unravel the mystery,
i look foward to hearing from you,
TS @ 14
I only ‘ holiday ‘ in the SU during the break in the Football
Seasons,although this time Holiday would be a complete misnomer,
apart from the lovely C,it has been a fucking nightmare.!!
If it goes on like this,the fucking deviants will outnumber us next year.
Stainless Steel underpants will be required apparell.!!
God help us all.
cheers
Clive
Clive @ #19,
I guess it partly depends on which side of the deviancy fence you find yourself 😉
From where I’m sitting, we’re already heavily outnumbered and metal undergaments (and bio-suits) are de rigeur. If you’re a Douglas Adams fan then I think the commentary below is fairly apt and quite topical, dolphins and all:
“….Curious about the dolphins’ fate, Arthur and Fenchurch head to California to visit Wonko the Sane, a scientist considered the foremost expert on the species. Wonko, who lives in an inside-out house called “The Outside of the Asylum” and claims to have had conversations with green-winged angels, tells Arthur and Fenchurch that they all received the same glass bowls — farewell gifts from the dolphins that, when pinged, play their final message to humans…”
Perhaps this extract also solves the mystery of the whereabouts of PIK aka Wonko The Sane??? Or maybe Wonko is Prof TES in disguise?
Right, it’s clearly time for my medicine so the CMC is open for all self medicators like me. Please form a reasonably orderly queue.
BTW, Douglas Adams in for Tony in the ‘Nearly Arsenals’ D team?
Get with the programme Ollie. I need my key ‘holics to be a bit sharper than that 😉
Hello chaps. If anybody has tomorrow’s paper can you give me the Goodwood winners please, so I can pack up work. Ta muchly.
‘Holic
I’ll ask Prof TES if his patented space-time continuum drive for the HT Mk II is ready for testing.
This time tomorrow, we could all be millionaires 😉
Genius TS. Euromillions numbers for tonight too please 😉
Holic,
Prof TES advises that he’s not sure if the patented drive, still in protoype format, has that level of fine control. The current finest increment is 24 hours. How about EPL results for 13th Aug?
*feels dizzy, walks back to CMC for further meds*
careful with some of that intellectual property Professor 😉
up arsenal
Heh zico and noted 😉
up arsenal.best team in the world.am proud to be a gooner.
Ayeyemi, I’ll second that.
TS, Onward with the research. Zico, TS should be allowed to give a general progress report on the status of research without giving away detailed secrets, don’t you agree? 😉
Afternoon chums,
OK, just back from the future. Here’s the results from 13th:
Blackburn 0-5 Wolves (Samba blamed his poor game on still pining for a move to The Emirates.)
Fulham 1-1 Aston Villa (Yawn.)
Liverpool 0-10 Sunderland (Suarez banned for the season for decapitating the ref. Whole team sent off. Mrs. Doubtfire gets a hat-trick.)
Manchester City 0-9 Swansea (City went for attacking football in a 1-9-1 formation but Balotelli still off form. Clichy substituted after 15 minutes for stupid crosses to MB.)
Newcastle 15-16 Arsenal (0-15 at half time.)
QPR 5-0 Bolton (Cahill, taken off at half-time for sobbing, also blamed his poor form on the disappointment of not signing for Arsenal.)
Stoke 0-0 Chelsea (Shawcross and Terry both suffered broken legs in not that kind of tackle. Both assured of England team places after the match by Capello.)
Tottenham 0-5 Everton (Modric didn’t score but successfully completed 5 world-class assists.)
West Bromwich Albion 7-0 Manchester United (A twiumph for Woy. Ferguson taken to Manchester Infirmary for an exploded nose. Michael Jackson’s former plastic surgeon flown in to re-build said schnoz.)
Wigan 0-2 Norwich (Delia scored twice.)
Sorry ‘holic, the De Lorean has been destroyed 😉
bt8bbnn
zero tolerance
TS – schoolboy defending 😉
Does anyone know how tickets sales have gone for the weekend? There were rumours flying around that they had been quite poor.
nasri,
Can’t say much more, I’m being threatened with confiscation of my golden pipe 😉
Steve T
Judging by the amount of last minute advertising going on I’d say they were struggling. Still, a good chance now to spot ‘Holic and Ollie in the crowd on ESPN.
Unfortunately, PHW’s on his hols now so we can’t even ask him 😉
…. although Pravda are stating that:
“Please note that there is an extremely limited amount of tickets remaining for Sunday 31st July 2011.”
Zero tolerance. Is that also to be Arsenal’s policy in defending set pieces this season?
TS @ 37. A classic !
TS @31 another classic 🙂
tabs and Ollie cheers 🙂
A round please Mon. Barman on yet another slow football news day.
I have bad news for all you wannabe time-travellers.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-14289114
Although the conclusion of the article ‘oh actually we don’t know’ makes it a total waste of….time.
Does time travel speed the news up any?
… much like NewsNow then Ollie? 😉
Clearly not, zico.
And heh TS.
Am off to the galway races, can anyone tell me who wins the second race… I think I have the rest of them covered…
Afternoon all…. missed yesterday’s drinks due to work and busy prescribing medicine (ahem!) for holic’s mysterious “cricket flu”; symptoms – a general vagueness at work and preoccupation with BBC websites.
What’s all this about a “nearly Arsenal”? If my guess is right, I presume that we have Popstars dandy Will Young at centre-half?
Dr.C
That’s pretty much it. Terry in for Michael Thomas, that sort of thing 🙂
Check out ‘Holic’s LWC Ladies XI with Felicity Kendall in goal!
Gaaahhh! Looking back, I see And Lester did indeed beat me to it! Obvious, I suppose….
*shrugs on coat and heads for the rain*
Calm down, Calm down, Dr. Z. What are we going to do if the Dr loses his head? 😛
Dr. Z? Dr. C even.
Nuuuuuuuuuuurse!
Arsenal’s revolving door churns out another, it seems.
http://www.twtd.co.uk/news.php?storyid=18826
Good luck JET, real shame you couldn’t make that step-up at Arsenal.
Ollie. I’ve instructed the nurse to give you the head you require….
Afternoon gents.
A russian flavoured spicy tomato juice for me please.
Nice story, in the previous drinks, Bernard. Please tell us that you gave Cook a nice parting slap in the chops. Surely that would have also rivaled meeting the legendary PV on anyones “great things to do” list.
Good luck to all those who entered the competition, I unfortunatly wouldn’t be able to make it, I’ve got the bar to run and all this beer doesn’t drink itself you know.
A round for the regulars please too, guv.
Cheers H2H. Pint of Italian flavoured lager for me please 🙂
Thanks Dr. C. 🙂
When you’ve finished Ollie…. 😉
For those who worry about this no longer being a family blog, Dr C, was of course referring to a pint of Guinness.
No doubt.
Heh, Ollie.
Did someone mention medicine ?
Yes, and head.
Sounds like a winning combination !
…and nurses
Ollie – of course. All good things come to those who wait.
Will you still need me, will you still feed me…..
Damn Dr.C in the way 🙁
Oh dear;
http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Ian-Wright-makes-film-debut-watch-trailer-here-article776121.html
Check out the trailer if you dare.
TS – I think you scuppered yourself. 64 was the magic number.
Afternoon all , pretty quiet here after yesterday’s pyrotechnics !
Hope the head’s ok H2H , awesome post late last night . 🙂
Shame about JET . Just guessing , but something pretty horrendous must have gone down on the attitude front , non ? Went from sub at Chelsea and being told by AW that he was knocking hard on the door , to persona non grata in double quick time .
I was told by the chap ” down the pub ” who knows Pat Rice that the club wanted him to play centre half , but that he didn’t want to play there .
Heads fine tabs, cheers. Feeling a bit drousy/sluggish though, I’ll be fine again later when I’m behind the bar and the Russian flavoured TJ’s and first hair of the dog kick in.
Rememer kids, don’t try this at home, I’m a professional. 😉
Hmm H2H @68 , Nazis and a secret … The Sound of Music , i think , adapted for the modern cinema audience .
Good to hear H2H 🙂
Our first Double Year?
Dr. C, I know I know, my own worst enemy.
tabs, what does ‘FriendofRicey’ have to say about Miyachi? Fancy refusing to play CH for The Arsenal. Wait till The Townies ask him to drive a f’in tractor to work 😉
Curses, foiled again. Will you please stop chopsin’ fellas 🙂
H2H @ # 68,
Wrighty, eh? Couldn’t stop scoring at Arsenal. Nowadays, he only seems capable of scoring OGs.
He has been on tv in the UK a lot hasn’t he, TS? I think I remember seeing a snippet of one of his “shows” over here, it was bloody awful.
Yup, spot on H2H. He had one of the ex-runners-up of The Apprentice (Karen?) join him for one of his series. Highly decorative of course but enough said. perhaps he could spend a bit more time coaching his son thru’ his footballing career. I know he’s earning millions but it can’t be good for SWP spending all that time on the bench. He could be a nice, cheeky little signing for us if he was willing to take a significant pay cut?
I’ve never really rated SWP, TS, he has too much of the “headless chicken factor” for my liking. He always seems to be in an awful rush to get somewhere without really knowing where he’s going. A kind of Theo on speed.
TS@74 , haven’t seen him recently . The conversation re JET took place about this time last year . At that time , the 3 youngsters the Club had really high hopes for were Jack , JET and Frimpong .
Theo on speed, heh! A bit like Arshavin on Prozac? 😉
tabs,
Well, we’re still well on for 2 out of that 3 making it big at The Arsenal. *crosses fingers*
Very interested to know if Miyachi is or even can be included in first tema this season. He’s listed on Pravda as such but that can’t be accurate yet.
Heh.
I saw a lot of complaints about our little Russian after last weekends friendly, I personally thought he looked up for it. Not everything he tried worked, but he was definitly putting himself about, it was good to see.
Dont know TS , he would need a visa under the ” Special Talent ” rule . Whether his season in Holland and a few pre-season games is enough to get him that , I have no idea .
H2H , I thought AA had a good half , bright and busy , but he was definitely looking a bit porky .
Any inside info from the Lowlands re our flying Japanese winger ?
Officially, I don’t think it is, but maybe PHW has a chum at the Home Office, either that or he’s sent Lady N round to do the business.
H2H @ 83,
Some people constantly look for fault. I though Arsh looked up for it too. I’ve heard a few stories that he’s more settled in the UK now and I think he could have a real influence on our campaign this year a bit obvious, I know, for someone of his exceptional talent. If we lose one of our superstars, he could help to bridge that gap.
Same here tabs @ 84. The club seems to be bigging him up at the moment. All will become clear soon enough I suppose.
The latter I would assume H2H 🙂
I would think it’s AA’s last year at the Arse TS , think he’s got 2 years on his contract left .
So who’s next out the door boys? Eboue? Bendy? Almunia? Some could be loans of course. If we sell Almunia, won’t we need a 4th option for the squad? Shea? (Whisper it) Buy one?
tabs @ #89 – Arsene won’t renew due to AA’s age? Other reason?
Almunia and Bendy for sure , Almunia probably on loan cos no-one else will match his wages .
Eboue ? Difficult to know how much credence to give these Galatasary stories . If Jenks is gonna fill in for Sagna , then it looks like he’s on his way . If we get 5m for him , that’s good business in my book .
@91 , Just my opinion but AA would need a stonking season to get a deal matching what he has now . Due to tax rates etc could probably do better elsewhere . He could of course choose to do a Nasri .
At least the so-called ‘clear-out’ seems to be gathering pace. A few more replacements would be nice, even if we only bring in a couple on loan.
Understood tabs @ #93. Would be great to see him have his best year, even if it was his last.
It just seems all too dependent on what happens with Fab/Nasri .
tabs, he enjoyed a good spell in Rotterdam, last season, the crowd took to him straight away and he certainly made an impact. Feyenoord didn’t enjoy the best of seasons last term, they were flirting with the relegation zone for quiet a while, but in no small part thanks to the contributions of Ryo managed to end up in tenth.
Tenth seems, on the face of it, not good enough for a team with their history, however, the club was in a financial mess and the trainer (Mario Been) was given no funds to rebuild a team that had just lost experienced players including Gio van Bronckhorst and Roy Maakay to retirement. He decided to put his faith in youth and make the most of the resources he already had at the club, plus a few loanees. It took a while but in the end he had them playing at a respectable standard.
But here comes the twist, during this off season the same players that he had shown faith in and given a chance, lead by the team captain, Ron Vlaar, revolted against him. They took their complants that they had no faith in him to the board who in an act of total cowardous left it in the hands of the players to take a vote and decide his future, suffice to say Mario got the spanish archer (El-bow) and has now been replaced by Ronald Koeman, this could ofcourse influence wheater or not Ryo returns to The Kuip, we’ll just have to wait and see, I suppose.
Whatever happens, I wish it would happen either way, but quickly. Can see us getting left high and dry with a load of cash in our pocket.
If need be, bite the bullet Arsene, and move on.
I have a good “Dixon/Lauren” solid feeling about Jenks.
I was avoiding that point tabs because we’re all so tired of hearing about those two but that is, I think, the nail struck frimly on the head.
*sighs*
Cheers for the info H2H .
Agreed Dr C .
Holic – a request. Could we have Lauren taking out Ronaldo embedded for old times sake? I really did like Lauren.
Great info H2H @ #97. What a bunch of sh*ts!
Forget who said it , Dr C , but I remember reading an interview with one of The Invincibles , who said on no account do you mess with Lauren . Hard as nails .
Dr.C
I also think Jenks will be a good ‘un. You can just tell that he really appreciates his opportunity. It comes from having a Gooner as a dad of course 😉
If we’re left ‘high and dry’ as you say then AW is seriously risking his own legacy. I’ll choose to trust his/Ivan’s judgement for now….
Just for you Dr C …
TABS. Old skool defending. I think he grew up on the street or in pretty dire cicumstances. No messing. I bet Ronaldo never tried to go past him again.
Cheers TABS…. great stuff! I never saw Storey – but I’m guessing he was cut from the same cloth?
Now…if you could just find me Adams on Smith, just after the little shit had kicked Winterburn…? 🙂
Lauren = Street Fighting Man
Ronaldo = Pictures of Lilly (white)
A new series ‘Holics to while away the pre-season hours???
🙂
Theo = Substitute
Gallas = Who Are You?
Any more for any more? Two adversaries, one band. Doesn’t have to be The Who of course. Just for laughs….
Only childhood memories of Peter Storey Dr C , so there will be others here better qualified to talk about him . Certainly took no prisoners but a much better player than people outside of Highbury gave him credit for .
Smith ? Alan Smith of Leeds/Mancs/ Newcastle fame ?
yep – one of his first games for Leeds. Little boy came on with an attitude and Tony introduced him to the reality of things.
Will have a look Dr C .
TS – This Charming Man – AW .
Panic – AW
TS, the Michael Jackson Album;
Dennis Bergkamp- Thriller
Cashley Hole – Ben (well it’s a song about a rat, right?)
Joey Barton – Dangerous
Theo Walcott – Black or White
Van Persie – Rockin’ Robin
Almunia/Bendy and Eboue- Beat it
The Spurs squad – They Don’t Care About Us
Steven Gerrard – Blood on the dancefloor
John Terry – Bad
H2H – excellent 🙂
Dr C – you’ve stumped me on the TA / Alan Smith set to , I’m afraid .
Heh H2H & tabs. Very good!
From The Gallagher Bros:
Paul Merson = Cigarettes & Alcohol
Darren Anderton = Slide Away (into obscurity)
A bit of Bowie …
Life on Mars – David Platt .
Heroes – AFC .

Under Pressure – AW .
Absolute Beginners – THFC
Heh tabs 🙂
You don’t like David Platt, do you ? 🙂
Easy either way TS 🙂 , but i do think he looks like an alien 🙂
🙂 🙂
You don’t always get what you want – Cesc.
I hope!
Catalan, 19 seconds, don’t blink.
loving the alien – David Platt – totally agree tabs, he looks like a bad dream 🙂
Got to Join the Lauren love in top player that lad, And one mean fucker wasn’t he the champion boxer in Cameroon through the youth ranks at his weight I’m sure I read that somewhere and of course Mr Seamen saying he was the hardest player he’d ever played with or against- One of my all time favourite moments was seeing him grab that little cunt Neville by the throat and the look of sheer terror in his eyes priceless!!! Above that tho he was a fine player oh for some like him in today’s side, Instead we have Eboue in fluffy tiger suits 🙂
A belated Happy BDay to Lars. My favourite Scandanavian Gooner, whom I respectfully disagree with at times, but would never fail to buy a pint for, especially to celebrate his BDay.
Right. I’m off. Before the bartender cuts me off.
You can stay if you behave Stingy. Seriously, you were out of order the other day, but have earned another chance I reckon.
Consider it a yellow card, and avoid the second.
If Miyaichi is with us next season, I expect an apology from all those who doubted my “reading between the lines” skills 😉
James Shea is on a season loan to Dagenham.
A long way to go yet, but early signs are three of the five possible European Cup qualifying opponents will be Rubin Kazan, Udinese and Twente. Either way, at least we’re not Rangers right now…
Can’t be Rangers anyway, but after tonight we would do well to avoid Rubin Kazan like the plague.
tabs@13/TS@14: my head was alright, we’re at our little country house so no big party yesterday! No ice bars or other fancy stuff unfortunately, just a chair in the sun and a can of beer.
Stingy, thanks!
Charlie: Rangers have certainly got themselves in a bit of a pickle. I managed to catch the last 30 minutes of it on a very ricket stream, and Rangers were booed quite heavily at the final whistle. Still, they’ll probably turn it around in the second leg, I think.
Courtesy of Arsenal.com we can get…
The five winners from the non-champion section of the Third Qualifying Round:
Standard Liege (Belgium) v FC Zürich (Switzerland)
Benfica (Portugal) v Trabzonspor (Turkey)
Dynamo Kyiv (Ukraine) v Rubin Kazan (Russia)
Twente (Holland) v FC Vaslui (Romania)
Odense (Denmark) v Panathinaikos (Greece)
The remaining four teams in Arsenal’s section come from:
The fourth placed team from Spain (Villarreal)
The fourth placed team from Italy (Udinese)
The third placed team from Germany (Bayern Munich)
The third placed team from France (Lyon)
The top five from that lot will be seeded.
Alright Lars. Glad you are in one piece after the celebrations 😉
Basically if Benfica win, they’re seeded with us and we can’t get them. If they lose it’s a toss up as to who gets seeded – Kiev were next in line but they’re looking up against it, which leaves Panathinaikos next in line if they go through. Udinese are unseeded so we can get them.
Cheers Holic, it was a heavy night of drinking. I think I ended up drinking two whole cans of beer – small cans, that is… amounts to about a pint and a half. I am a heavy drinker, me!
(I’ll do the real celebration with some mates when I am back in Stockholm next week!)
And I agree about avoiding Kazan like the plague. Naturally, this means that we will be “randomly” drawn against them.
Good evening GH,
Could you be a little more specific regarding #126 please? At times a lad drinks and then posts, if you know what I mean 😉
It seemed to me you went for the straight red a couple of days ago without issuing the cautionary yellow first. Let us know the house rules if you would barman.
I’ll have a Guinness and have one for yourself while you’re at it. Cheers.
Rangers losing their home leg is pretty poor on their part. The start to their season is rather bumpy so far.
Agreed on avoiding Rubin Kazan. That’s a major banana skin indeed. Beating Dynamo Kiev 0-2 on the road is impressive. Not to mention that they’ve given FCB problems over the years.
Give me Udinese. They’ve lost Sanchez and seem to be selling the furniture these days.
I’d also like to avoid Twente please.
Ahoy, hoy ‘Holics,
*shuffles up to bar, sets down briefcase, and pulls up stool*
So here are the latest developments from Denilson-Gate:
I confronted Mrs. Lonestar regarding my concerns over her Denilson love-interest which was communicated to me whilst I was sleeping the other night.
She had the temerity to deny all interest in said Brazilian and proceeded to accuse me of having some Arsenal-related fetish. (Speaking of fetishes, I have not, nor will not ever, reveal to her my “side-gig” raising llamas.)
She then went further and told me that IF she had any interest in leaving me and our baby Lady Gooner to take a vacation with an Arsenal man it would be in this order: (1) Henry [I objected that he is currently a NY Red Bull and should not count – but she would not listen to reason], (2) Theo [I accused her off robbing the cradle – and quickly dodged a frying pan directed at me noggin], (3) Cesc [no arguments from me there, he is a handsome lad], (4) RVP, and (5) Ramsay.
I’m not sure what to think now. Should I be happy that my dreams were inaccurate, and I am in no danger of losing her to Sir IPAnemaness? Or should I be worried that, instead of watching games with me for the quality football, Mrs. Lonestar seems only to be tolerating the spectacle for glimpses of young beefcake?
I need a drink and some counsel, fellas.
*Looks around for CMC*
Perhaps Clive would be amenable to putting me in contact with a nurse or two from the SU to take care of me in case the unthinkable ever occurred?
And no, PHW, a clandestine visit from Lady N will not suffice. Asian llamas don’t really fit in my herd…no offense meant – just personal preference. 😉
Lonestar, This is very bad news indeed! TH14 and Mrs. Lonestar are a hot item and there’s nothing to be done about it! 😉
Good evening NA ‘holics 8ball & LG.
I just so love politically incorrect females 😉
Hey LG or tabs – Do you gentlemen have any politically incorrect llamas?
Okay, three in a row. I’m cut off. See ya all tomorrow.
And one thing I have to clear up, not naming names mind you, but the Copa America is every equal to the Euros. And in some cycles it is superior. They are both continental championships. Just count the number of WCs between Europe and South America. SA is not Asia or North America. Do the math before you denegrate without foundation. And if you want to watch female footy for footy related reasons, even the WC, then knock yourself out! I’d rather watch world class South Americans before the WWC every day of the week. Even if the South Americans don’t score for 270+ minutes.
To compare male footy v female footy is totally unfounded. To say the least. I could be more explicit but I might be banned.
I’ll still drink on the ‘offender’s’ tab. No disrespect. I may even buy the next round. However, I warn you, I’m Stingy 😉
Okay. Let’s do the math together, shall we? Before I fall asleep and before the fellas on the other side wake up. Brasil = 5 WCs, Argy = 2 WCs, Uru = 2 WCs. So, give or take, that’s about 50% of the WCs.
And during my lifetime, I have seen some better Copas than some Euros. So, just because this Copa wasn’t a pretty one, let’s not piss all over the competition and be all Euro-centric about our footy. Shall we? Si?
And this is coming from someone without any SA heritage.
Dos shots of Patron Senor por favor. Gracias 😉
Where did everybody go? Is there a new post? My name’s Stingy, not Smelly. Nobody can clear a room like me. Ba-dump ba!
Anyway. Seven in a row deserves a free pint. I’ll collect another day and bid all adeau.
