It would be wrong to underestimate just how well Swansea played, tbh.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

That was a George Grahamesque performance, which many of you would have cheered to the rafters 20 years ago.

[Pat Vegas]

Though we made it easier for them by shooting directly at Fabianski.

[Jake]

I hope to see Jonjo in Moscow or Qatar.

[Dorset Gooner]

I cleaned up at the election :-) odds of 6/1 10/1 & 14/1 Tory majority.

[Berni]

You play until someone wins it and then - wherever everyone is in the league is where they stay. It would be unfair in some ways, but would add an interesting twist to things. As it is, this winding down **** is just boring.

[2 Strikers?]

haven't seen such excellent defensive structure and discipline since Houllier first strung five in front of four way back in the good old days at Highbury.

Still, if we wish to be the best we need to be able to find a way through. I felt our performance lacked a leetle bit imagination and speed of thought.

[gco40203]

They did what they had to in order to get at least a draw but also knowing we are vulnerable on the counter attack in the last few mins.

Its about AW stopped moaning about defensive teams and worked out how to beat them. Defence is part of the game and it would be better if we showed some aptitude for it rather than having a pop at other teams for doing it.

[Monty91]

[Berni]

But I agree that the analogy is incomplete.

Nonetheless, I think it would be tremendous fun.

[Monty91]

If he's asked for his assessment of a game in which the opposition played defensively, why should he not reference this?

Also, you thick c**t, I would say Wenger has worked out fairly well how to beat defensive teams, given that most teams play defensively against us and we win most of our games.

[Monty91]

You'd have people fighting for imaginary chairs.

[Peter]

Last night we were horribly out of tune in the first half but in the second we created plenty of chances, just our finishing was ****e.

It isnt tactical, just an off night. The goal, well that sort of thing can happen. It isnt as if it happens all the time.

[Peter]

On another night, with us firing to some extent, we would have have won easily.

[Monty91]

in charge.

I know this is hard for autistic man-children to accept.

[2 Strikers?]

did you boo the quite wonderful fabianski???

[Monty91]

[Berni]

Europe on Thursday nights.

[Peter]

We are going to finish fourth. From the position before last night's game that will be a huge blow to wenger.

Of course, it probably wont happen....... :-)

[2 Strikers?]

[Monty91]

like your dyspraxic nephew with co-ordination issues.

[gco40203]

If you weren't such a thick c**t yourself and watched the interview you will see that his whole demeanour, body language and intonation was "moaning" not "explaining" but I guess you are too ignorant to know much about social science.

Secondly, no league titles in last 11 years, 1 FA Cup win in last 10 years, no champions league wins in 20 years suggests that maybe he hasn't worked it out in a practical and effective way.

[Berni]

risks - usually by the player who had been running full pelt around the chairs doing handsprings only to come horribly unstuck occasionally.

[Ashberto]

Funny way to describe an expression of personal prejudice against an individual.

[gco40203]

Its not about prejudice its simply that when someone says something then the meaning of what they say is a combination of visual and verbal cues. It is fairly basic stuff really. I am happy to further educate you if you find it a difficult concept to understand.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

prose suggests that the pedagogic arts may not be your ideal career move.

A good, solid blue collar profession would be my prescription for you. Ask Herb for advice on an apprenticeship in pulling jobbies out of a u-bend.

There. Happy to help.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Overly so I would suggest.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

No need for that.

I accept the poster was so in his reply to A but for you to then lower yourself to his level is regrettable.

[Ashberto]

You are pre-judging his comments because of your already-held negative opinions about the man. That's what prejudice means. Pre-judging, you see? If you need any more help understanding this etc...

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Now take your interfering busy-body hooter and shove it up somewhere dark.

Btw, sw, didn't you fancy the suckling pig? I sometimes have it at Barrafina, and it's like the most delicious roast pork, but tender and delicate like fillet steak. Truly a treat for the senses.

[Ashberto]

I prefer my dinner not to look like the poor blighter who got killed for it, on the whole. Or rather not-whole.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Wrong in the sense that I will beat you mercilessly, not wrong in the sense that I am not the man.

Suckling pig? Damn yes, never actually had it I think but can only imagine how nice it would be on a nice warm summer day. Visually I must say it was a little off-putting but I expect that was simply the poor quality image you chose to answer my earlier question.

[Peter]

I assume not but thought i would ask :-)

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

My position on what exactly??

[Monty91]

And the skin almost cost me about 300 quid in dentistry work. Even our server/waiter bloke admitted he can't eat it.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

with violence, would you? I'm almost a f**king pensioner, you sick *******.

If that madman Berni tries to come near it with f**king apples I will go completely mental. the English are mad for putting apples on their pig.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

A fair fight where I come from.

Pork and apple, a traditional combination I thought. Not for me all the same.

Coleslaw perhaps, mustard even.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

understand simple prose constructions and GIVES ME A PAIN IN MY f**kING SOUL.

Have you been to Kitty Fisher's yet?

[Monty91]

A reserve list for a restaurant :hehe: Honestly, I am beyond parody :hehe: I literally deserve cancer, Geoff :hehe:

[Peter]

Bat for the other side.

I recall you referring to standards :-)

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

:-|

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Those who wish to bum can carry on.

We have a referendum on bumming next week in fact.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

clearly gained some recent experience of the joy of cock.

[Peter]

Choose your words carefully here :hehe:

[Berni]

With apple sauce, naturally.

[Monty91]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Jesus, what with you and your fruit condiments and my glw insisting on eating bread boiled in milk, I'm surrounded by the lumpen English :-(

[Monty91]

You have already made a crude reference to the mother of my child.

Play nicely or not at all.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

So in that regard I accept your apology.


I was simply taking you to task on the rudeness you displayed. I am sure you are aware of the old saying about lying down with pigs.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

It is not on my way to work.

[Peter]

Small minded response to the lad was beneath you.

But then he clearly doesnt know you like i do. :-)

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

[Berni]

Actually, could you not pay homage to your Irish ancestry by just curing the pig in the bath?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Peter]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I will try to be better in future.

[Berni]

Set the bummers free, sw! It's the right thing to do.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I would suggest they will win by a landslide anyway, bit like your Conservative Party, so any vote I cast will not make any difference.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

We shall say no more about it for now.

[Berni]

lot of apologising today. Are you quite well?

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

We all have our vote, or right to vote.

Even Protestants. Not my wife though.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Berni]

How do we go about anointing the skin? Is there a marinade you have in mind?

[Berni]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

You are both chaps who "like to take a drink", as such.

A perfect middle ground I would suggest.

[Berni]

I remember being in Dublin the night they legalised gayness. That was in interesting evening.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I will keep the f**king thing between Thursday and Saturday.

My fridge is going to struggle with a pig.

[Berni]

Rotten pig? What kind of establishment are you running?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Berni]

bottles that made Sir C try to climb out of a moving car that time.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

What they get up to when they get back home is entirely their own business.

Good luck to them I say.

If a couple of fruits want to get hitched and batter the back doors of each other then who am I to deny them the joy that I experience on a daily basis from the union of marriage.

Actually that should be a banner for the Yes party.

[Berni]

Blimey. It's a wonder your poor wife can sit down.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Heterosexual arried people don't bum.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

If I were you I'd check your Chef's special sauce very, very carefully.

[Berni]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Once the hallucination start, it's all over.

[Berni]

remembered that the coldest room in your house is about 30 degrees.

[Berni]

memories of the afternoon and evening are hazy to the point of non-existence, though.

[gco40203]

what has my opinion of him got to do with him moaning about swansea ?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

of ice in, and leave it in the shed.

If we manage to cook it over charcoal, it's going to take about 5 hours. Tomorrow 'll go looking for a spit-type effort.

Will you make it down during the day time on Saturday?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Apparently we cooked them roast duck, roast potatoes and peas in the evening, and it was perfectly edible. And no one chopped off a finger or got 3rd degree burns.

wd us.

[Berni]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

You want to do it or try it, then when you finally do you accept it to be non-joyous and indeed an ordeal.

But at least you have done it.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Blame shared is blame halved, I say.

I'm aware that the glw favours white, but can you advise regarding particular grape / chateau / terroir preferences?

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

In terms of alcoholic liquid consumption I hasten to clarify.

I bought it from a farmer on the way there. That was quite a very unpleasant experience for a few days after.

[Berni]

[Berni]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Naturally time had passed and our lives had gone in different directions, me married and her soon to be. Yet as we stood beside the frozen cabinets and chatted it was the single only thought going through my mind.

How I didn’t just blurt it out I will never know.

My upbringing I suppose, always the gentleman.

[Berni]

It stank and I got the fear that he'd bum me or eat me or both (this is what I assume atavistic country people do all the time) and as a result paid him and forgot to take the cider in my haste to get out of there. He came after me uttering rural noises and I nearly shat myself.

It was some of the foulest tasting stuff I've ever drunk.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Yes, I recall my first mouthful and immediately thinking "jesus f**king christ this is not cider".
