Mamma Mia Italy gone

[Pokster]

Good. Italy invariably stink up any tournament with which they are involved with their negative, cynical and invariably dreary toss.

Are those the tournaments which you always say you never watch????

Listen, I make no secret of the fact that I think international football is largely wànk, but nowhere have I ever said that I don't watch World Cup or European Championship games. Nowhere - that's just something you've invented for the purposes of argument.

Indeed, me saying that I believe such tournaments are a bit shît is in fact proof that I've actually watched them since if I hadn't I wouldn't have an opinion, would I, ffs? I think the Champions League is shït, too. Does that mean I've never watched it either? Ditto the Olympics?

So if you're going to invent a premise out of whole cloth in order to argue with me, don't act all fücking surprised if I choose not to engage with you or find the idea of doing so unutterably fücking tedious.
