Barry Glendinning appears to have deleted the tweets from his Twitter spat with me

[Monty91]

[Herbette Chapman - aged 15]

pulling AWIMB's collective leg, surely?

[Berni]

A thoroughgoing c**t, I'd say.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

that smug c**t tv programme with 'comedians' delivering 'witty' one-liners about Thatch, before he pops home to record the Arseblog podcast.

Have I got the right bloke?

[Berni]

[7evens]

and I was censored for referring to Indians as Bhindi's a while back.. :nono:

[Berni]

[Brentwood]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Smug mick c**t.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Bogwog on one side, bogwog on the other.

100 per cent bogwog :cloud9:

[Berni]

interminable length of time while waiting for the laugh?

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Really?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

You wouldn't offer respect to, for example, a Welsh?

[Berni]

Whereas I'm half bogwog, a quarter Preston and a quarter Birmingham. :-(

And the one from Birmingham was a protestant! :yikes:

Self hating paddies the pair of you

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Snin]

[Classic Jorge]

I realise this leaves me in the minority in both cases....

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Apology accepted.

[Berni]

does it.

Anyway, what of old Raymond Glendinning?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Let us draw a discreet veil across these dreadful events.

[Berni]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

You simply have to love a curry.

[Pokster]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Who exactly I am not sure.

Pokster maybe. Essentially a serious low point in my life to date, running off to seek help from a baldie c**t in Yorkshire.

[Monty91]

Obviously not a patch on the best ever book about comedy, How I Escaped My Certain Fate, by the boy Stewart Lee.

Glendinning is the Harry Redknapp of the football journalism world, wearing his ignorance as a badge of honour. So I picked him up on it and he subsequently spent most of Saturday evening sending me increasingly unintelligible and rambling tweets in response.

Was quite funny.

[Berni]

It would have been all too easy for you to have a paddy, there.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I'm a big fan of the roti.

[7evens]

f**king imbeciles to a man.
How the f**k anyone can appreciate the bouquet and infusions of a top wine when chugging down one of my dear friend Ravi's morning arse burners is way beyond me.
Half way into one of his lamb vindaloo's and one's mouth is rendered utterly useless at deciphering wine.
:shrug:

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I agree in the matter of wine and Indian food, by the way.

[Berni]

While delicious, you can feel each bite making you fatter.

[Monty91]

since he is as beige and one-dimensional as anyone with a regular slot on a popular podcast can possible be.

But actively likely him? That's just weird.

[Berni]

In which case, you might as well drink lager.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Quite the moment this morning in the office kitchen as I calmly explained to some very over excited colleagues that I had not in fact watched the win over England and instead watched the Capital One Cup. Fair to say they looked at me as if I had just done a **** in each of the cups which they were using to prepare a warm beverage.

I kept it to myself that I had preferred to watch the Eredivisie before the action from Wembley.

[Monty91]

[Peter]

It's f**king rank.

[7evens]

inclusion while completely missing the point of it all.

[Snin]

oddball

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

What with me being a male and all that.

[Snin]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

And the other match was rugby.

[Berni]

already had to digest the fact that I was at all interested in rugby (I only ever watch internationals - I'm not a pervert), was also trying to process my sudden Irishness in supporting Ireland against England.

Complicated business, national identity imo. :hehe:

[Monty91]

However, he seems to be carving out a niche as the Guardian's resident likeable simpleton in the same vein as Tubes from Soccer AM and Karl Pilkington, and so his name is slowly and unfathomably spreading.

[Classic Jorge]

Which, even for someone as poncey as me, is quite high.

Ultimately I think he's a very useful foil to Richardson.

[Snin]

but then again apart from Arsenal I do'nt really watch any other top level football..i find it generally pretty dull.

[Classic Jorge]

[Berni]

Keema is a maan's naan. A mince sandwich. Yum.

[Monty91]

whenever someone makes a remotely discerning comment about tactics, or indeed anything vaguely insightful about anything at all, as they struggle to contain their derision/confusion.

[Berni]

overabundance of carbohydrate involved in most curries (rice, bread, popadoms, etc, etc), it's really the last thing you need.

Maybe I should take to drinking water with curry? :-(

[Classic Jorge]

Obviously, you know, if you have stale milk in the fridge etc etc

[Monty91]

and they went down a f**king treat.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Red wine I think.

No, it is not perfect but it is red wine.

[Classic Jorge]

but even I think that stuff is niche at best. I don't get that Jimbo doesn't like football though, he does, just not "EPL"

[Peter]

[Berni]

Milk curdles in your stomach and makes your innards go rotten. FACT.

And lassis can f**k off an'all.

[Peter]

[Snin]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I want to see him sitting in the sun with an espresso and a croissant, reading from Corriere del Sport :-(

Yes, I want it to be 1992 again.

[Peter]

Just order a korma next time.

[Classic Jorge]

Of course it curdles in your stomach, that'd be the acid, it's also what everything else does dummy

[Berni]

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the hardest-drinking Jew in East Finchley.

:hehe:

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Monty91]

his interest was very late on-set and he had zero interest in the sport when he first went to Italy.

And as we both know, it's in childhood that a sport hooks you. After that, you can be nothing more than a casual observer.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

[Classic Jorge]

He was talking about some bloke named George Where signing from PSG

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Have to say my own was. Nearly threw up on the edge of Rathmines Swimming Pool.

[Classic Jorge]

[Monty91]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

called Alex.

He was beautiful even when he was young, Alex.

[redgunamo]

[Berni]

They recommend it with vodka and soda water.

Had it not been midday on a Sunday, I might have had it there and then.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Are you quite sane?

[Supermac1976]

[Bergkamp's Brain]

[Berni]

The decor is 'modern chic and then the money ran out'. The barmaid was New Zealandish, sweary, pregnant, aggressively flirtatious and - I'm fairly certain - drunk. The highpoint was when she said to a customer over the phone who was wondering why her cheque for some do hadn't been cashed "Well it's probably been thrown away. What sort of a bloody idiot still uses cheques?'

I shall definitely be going back. :hehe:

[Ashberto]

It was on the BBC, even, so there was no excuse for these people to be taking up the whole pub on a matchday.

I angrily went out for a smoke and considered taking my business elsewhere, but fortunately when I went back inside the football was on and the rugger buggers left.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

[Classic Jorge]

[redgunamo]

Or del Piero.

[Ashberto]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

But then surely not Alex.
