Can we get rid of the little mod circle jerk up there now?

[Classic Jorge]

We've got a bloody cup to retain here.

btw, if we win it three times in a row do we get to keep the f**ker?

If so, does it get replaced by won that looks like somebody holding an orange after dipping their arm in custard?

Francis has got to be just about the most boring man in football though, hasnt he?

Perhaps it's just the devonian accent.

This current one is a new model?

I've not read anything by Francis but I imagine he'd cover, and in some depth, trips to Wickes to find some hinges for the saloon doors of the living room of his dartmoor bungalow.

[Classic Jorge]

This is a man whos lack of imagination kept his wife and newborn baby locked in a hotel in madrid for an entire season because they lacked the intellectual curiosity to venture out into one of the most beautiful, and child friendly, cities in the world.

More than Villa, Chelsea, Liverpool and everton btw

Which is some achievement when you cosider it's not generally magnetic.

[redgunamo]

Explains your playful Rich-baiting I suppose.

[Classic Jorge]

Mind you, he's no Rudi Dil

[redgunamo]

If only He'd taken it more seriously..

[redgunamo]

is the fact he was born wealthy.

To be honest I'm puzzled you don't give a harder time to chaps who squander a perfectly decent education to play football for a living, when they could have been out inventing cancer treatments or something useful like that. Or at least moving aside and allowing that education to somebody who would.

And surely there's nothing greater than a regista anyway.

I'm not sure I follow.

Anyway, one of our ****ted midfielders is going to solve all of our fossil fuel issues in a generation anyway.

Even poor, disadvantaged thick c**ts can play good football, after all. And at least the likes of Dr. Richard work for the NHS, whatever anyone thinks of him.

[Ashberto]

[Classic Jorge]

Which, given Rich's presence here, is even more confusing.

Pirlo is being held up as some sort of demi-God footballer-cum-philosopher and example to all.

[Classic Jorge]

[redgunamo]

One is praised for being "interesting", whereas the other is bantered off for being some sort of privileged halfwit. I just don't understand your workings.

I may have mentioned my parents are both doctors; one to escape poverty, the other had parents wealthy enough to insist on it.

[Classic Jorge]

One is privileged halfwit, the other a privileged wit.

As with Mitsubishis, a half goes a long way.
