    Two deeply disturbing things last night then

    the PSG result and what it says about football as a sport.

    And the Michael Jackson documentary and its descriptions of ***** activity.

    :shudder:

    I'm reminded of a couple of years ago and my son going to the mat on Twitter with some tabloid football reporter or other who insisted that PSG would piss the Premier League every season.

    What does their result say about football as a sport?

    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    Same as every result, I expect. Win some, lose some. Funny old game, Brian. Away goals can be crucial. Big decisions change matches.

    Football - bloody hell. Funny ole game etc etc

    Which I have always taken as meaning that in football how well you play doesn't really matter; it often has no correlation to the result, which is all that really matters.

    That isn't true in other sports; mostly those where they score more often.

    Precisely - you don't get many shocks in, say, rugby because the better team will nearly always win. You don't get lucky tries in the same way you get lucky goals and it is much easier to defend. Stupid ****ing game really

    I know even less about rugby that football, but I'm sure I've seen loads of close games decided by kicks through bouncing along the ground.

    One spins out just before the line, another sits up perfectly for the winger.

    No way did the kicker have any control over that.

    Um, that’s a pretty good job of missing the point you’re doing there, Anaconda. I said nothing about shock wins or the better team winning. I said that that football, unlike many other sports, is one where you can outplay the other team on the day and still lose. In this case, over two games.

    How many rugby matches have you seen where one team comprehensively outplays the other on the day but still loses? I’ve never seen one, and I expect it happens but much less frequently than in football. Again this will mostly be the case in low scoring sports.

    The United game I could not give a shít about - two super-rich clubs = fûck 'em both.

    In the Jackson thing, I just found myself becoming incredibly angry with the awful fûcking mothers who were - let's face it - pimping their sons out to him in exchange for first class plane tickets and five-star hotels. Scum.

    I reckon I'd let my kid get nonced off as a one-off in exchange for a life-changing amount of money.

    I mean, the problem that abused kids have as they get older is rationalising what happened to them. That's what causes the trauma. But I'd have a ready made answer for them. Surely they'd understand if I bought them a nice car with the proceeds or something?

    You’d **** it up though. You’d buy them a diesel Peugeot or some other piece of ****.
