I expect Carroll's was a Bleak House last night. Hard Times, indeed

I have been ed This is why it is important to read the whole thread before replying.

As AWIMB conclusively proved in a lengthy discussion the other week, it's more than a business or leisure activity. Passion. Pwide. Love.

And getting mad and letting off steam is what football was invented for anyway. As an outlet for 19th century workers forced into grinding poverty having had not only their surplus value but their very lives and souls sucked out of them by unrestrained, vampiric capitalism. Great days.

Now that was a system that worked, a. Until the bleeding-heart liberals got their way and destroyed the comptitiveness of our manufacturing base and gave away our empire.

Look what we're left with now. A shítshow governed by wimps like Cameron and May and a opposition with a distaste for jews and those who labour.

It's a poor outlook, and no mistake.

[Sir C]

I really think there's no need for this sort of abuse, sw. Can we not all behave as gentlemen?

You see your error here, no?

Right. And it's a good thing football has nothing to do with unrestrained, vampiric capitalism anymore. Great days

On a personal level, he is very pleasant company. A charming chap and a gentleman. I have the utmost rerspect for him as a human being. As a politician, less so. He was elected leader of the Conservative party yet governed like the limpest Liberal.

He made it legal for pooves to marry each other, for example. Yes, a man married to a man. Surely the Good Lord will send us a flood to sweep the earth clean of this filth?

Yes, but I feel that, like Henry Higgins with Eliza Doolittle, we can mould the unpromising material that is sw into at least a reasonable simulacrum of a gentleman

The chap wears denim trousers and plimsolls to work, b. He is far beyond our help.

I don't think supporter expectation should matter in an ideal world.

I think those questions would be asked by the incumbent himself, who is likely to be best placed to ask and answer them (while has has the desire to do so) given he knows the club and his players better than anyone on earth.

It *does* matter though; that's why professional football folk get paid so much.

My father still can't get over gay marriage. Seems to think that berties being allowed to tie the knot invalidates the status of his marriage or something.
I have pointed out that I find his new-found reverence for the institution somewhat surprising, but to no avail.
