One other thing on our side tonight. We have no pressure at all imo
We are already 'out'
Though I am not sure if I will watch it I could do with an early night.
-
The game will have finished by around 2145. Hardly a late night, is it?
-
Yup, Now it's just the two-goal deficit, three away goals and their excellent defensive record to
worry about. :thumbup:
I will be fairly pissed off if we pick up injuries in this hopeless cause tonight.
-
Speak for yourself. The Mrs is away and I am going to attempt a Lasagne for the first time.
She cooks a mean lasagna so I have something to live up to
Of course if it all goes tits up I will never tell her I tried and failed
-
Surely it is eminently possible that we at least equal their first leg score?
-
Possible, but I would argue that it's extremely unlikely.
-
it's on ITV, go to bed with the game on in and around the background
and you will almost certainly fall asleep anyway, Clive.
-
It seems an odd conclusion given how poorly acquainted I imagine you are with
Monaco as a team, beyond the statistics you have read suggesting they are defensively strong.
The main reason I'm retaining hope is that I have a suspicion that Monaco are actually a bit ****.
-
Jeeze M, this week you are sounding like the footite fans you so often deride
Great one minute awful the next.
Has fatherhood addled your brains? :-)
-
Eh?
-
easy oasy listiening, Clive?
-
They may be. But so are we.
-
Yes, that's the way I always like to look at these things too.
-
Right. So we may do unto them..
-
Raising all these optimistic scenarios about Arsenal raising a title challenge and 3-0 scorelines
Crickey you be moaning about the players and shouting 'Wenger Out' when we lose tonight.
Get a grip man, we won't do the Treble I tell you, maybe just the Double
-
Nah, there's loads of pressure;
we *really* want to win the European Cup :shrug:
-
where is Ron these days?
if there is one thing that the modern pundit lacks it's casual racism.
It would certainly give Phil Neville and Danny Murphy an edge they desperately seem to need.
-
Do we? We don't look like we do most of the time.
Unless by 'we' you mean 'Wenger'? Personally, I've grown to hate the f**king thing.
-
I had that last week and ended up sick as a dog
Just a coincidence but she came back saying she can't leave me alone for 2 weeks without me nearly dying.
-
I assume he's still in the re-education camp being beaten with bamboo staves.
Ron's wasn't all that casual, to be fair. Dropping the N-bomb is pretty full-on. I think the Nevilles need to ease themselves in by suggesting that foreigners dive and that certain black players don't offer the same workrate as their white colleagues.
-
Shirley that depends what time you need to get up the next day
-
Nevilles suggesting foreigners cheat and dive? Yeah right
-
Lasagne or home cooking?
I feel a takeaway coming on
-
I think it was the takeaway(s) that did it.
-
You turn well retarded when you talk about football
I guess it's coz you don't actually care, which is fair enough.
-
was probably casual from Ron's perspective
to call him old school would be an understatement.
Last time I saw him P Neville was still furiously backtracking over his comments about "two-footing" players who pass in a different direction to which they are facing.
-
it wasn't one of these?
-
although it should really be a cannon
-
I don't think it's so much about being old-school as being rather common.
My dad is about the same age as BFR and, while he is far from politically correct, I can honestly say that I have never heard the word 'n*gger' escape his lips. It simply wouldn't occur to him to use the word because it would have been socially unacceptable - or at least extremely jarring - in pretty much all social contexts since he left Ireland in the mid-60s. Clearly one must assume that is not the case in the circles in which BFR moved.
-
and of course, no posh people are ever racist
-
Wenger Out!
-
Oh, actual posh people might be, but they're a very tiny pocket of society
I'm talking about middle class people, most of whom simply wouldn't dream of saying n*gger - even if they are leetle bit racist.
-
''Middle class''?? What is that? Moveable goal posts imo
Civil servants and Bank managers are a dying breed
-
I'm using it in the 'not working class' sense
And, whilst Im sure they are more aware of social conventions, there are plenty of racialists on all parts of the spectrum.
Mind you, you might have a point, that UKIP lady said she "didn't like negroes, there's something about their faces".
-
Exactly. And she was as common as muck and thick as pigshit.
You'd never get a comment like that out of an educated middle class person.
-
She was middle class, I certainly don't think she would have self identified as working class
-
The middle classes are educated people who don't talk with regional accents.
They say 'lavatory' rather than 'toilet' and 'napkin' rather than 'serviette'.
Everyone else is common.
-
What she self-identified as is neither here nor there. She was a dreadful, common person.
She probably has a collection of ceramic animals on her mantelpiece, ffs! And gives her house some sort of twee name like 'The Willows'.
Common.
-
Look, I didn't start f**king with the class paradigm, don't blame me. Blame Thatch
-
I'm not trying to defend him or his comments
pretty much all of what I said was tongue in cheek, the only part I'd really stand by is preferring him over Phil Neville.
I'd echo your sentiments as far as the word and it's connotations go, I assume in his case it is a word that was (wrongly) bandied about regularly in football and he is probably too stupid to know better.
