That is a seriously **** team. Awful full backs, dreadful midfield and a useless

I was drinking whiskey til gone 2 - I am not going to be in a good mood until I've had breakfast*


* Friday lunchtime drink

I was on the sake until the wee small hours. Perfectly foul.

The breakfast beer took on a different level of importance after that.

I must admit that I would normally associate hyperbole with excessive positivity rather than negativity, though (as in 'hype'). There ought to be a specific word for excessive and exaggerated negativity.

Nah. It works equally well both ways. 'Exaggeration for effect.' I remember it being described to me thus whilst I was at school.

I suppose one's point of view depends on whether one sees football through the eyes of Cruyff or Pulis.

Do you ever watch the game naked save for a baseball cap?

There are few more distressing sights than that of an englishman in a baseball cap.

Name the song!

[redgunamo]

Sorry, not my problem. You're only as good as your last game (that I saw)

lol.

[Sir C]

Ramsey was actually pretty quiet other than the goal and one through ball I seem to recall. Possibly because we were murdering them down our left where Kola, Mikkie and Ozil were torturing their midget right back. A midget right back whose response to being ripped apart was to throw himself to the pitch screaming and then laying there hoping play would be stopped. Followed by mock indignation at the ref. All designed to deflect attention away from the fact that he was rubbish.

He was about 5'5" by the look of him. I've always said never to trust a short man. Never.

Bit harsh on Berni.

It is quite similar to when you get a gay hound.

Isnt it?

Oh, hounds are never "gay", as such. Everyone enjoys recreational sex though.

Is it some Smiths nonsense?

[World's End Stella]

Bit harsh on Berni.

True - but only a bit. I mean, he doesn't get this round in, as an example.

[Sir C]

Oh, he's never, ever left me thirsty. I can assure you of that.

Quite the contrary, usually.

Too mild, surely? Hyperbole suggests massive overstatement or ridiculous embellishment.

Here are some hyperbolic functions:



You could accuse him of being parabolic instead, to add some variation, or variance as statcùnts might say.



That's clearly over-the-top.
