Henry Winter getting on his high horse, again

[PSRB]

calling for points deduction for pitch invaders.

Just bung a hoodlum a ticket and a few quid and get him to run on the spurs pitch and push an opposition player and bingo, spurs get a points deduction.

Unsurprising. Presenting Henry Winter with an opportunity to puff himself up with pompous sanctimony is like presenting a dog with a lamppost.

Fairly easy to prove they aren't a fan of the club in question though. Not that I am agreeing with Henry Winter at all. Lad yesterday deserves a good kicking none the less

The bloke yesterday did nothing and is only being discussed because of the whopper in Birmingham.

I was rather impressed by Jack Grealish, actually. His post-match interview didn't major on his shock, distress and possible PTSD. He just beamed all over his face. "Best day of my life," he said. When pushed about the incident he just said, "football has rivalries but that was going too far" :hehe:

Yep - pretty much dealt with it all perfectly

[Burney]

Good player.

:hide:

Are there not rumours of him being Tottenham-bound?

Tried to sign him in the summer so might try again.

[Sir C]

Tried to sign him in the summer so might try again.

He's Villa through and through la. I can't believe he'd ever leave them.

[Burney]

He's Villa through and through la. I can't believe he'd ever leave them.

:hehe: Aston DNA?

Villa turned down £40m......not quite sure where spurs had got £40m from, so probably *******s

[SWv2]

He's Villa through and through la. I can't believe he'd ever leave them.

He was Irish through and through also my Dutch friend. Then look what he did.

Modern football. He would leave Villa tomorrow for the right deal.

Irish? How can he be Irish, for all love? He talks broad Brummie, ffs!

They/we get everywhere.

The Irish diadora or what have you.

[Sir C]

He may have Irish parents, but he is not Irish, nor is he diaspora. I'm not having all this nonsense. HE TALKS BROAD BRUMMIE.

[Alberto Balsam Rodriguez]

Just wait for when the kid in him wants out

[Burney]

He may have Irish parents, but he is not Irish, nor is he diaspora. I'm not having all this nonsense. HE TALKS BROAD BRUMMIE.

Well of course not. But the Irish will take anyone they can get. Half of them used to have pictures of JFK on their walls, ffs!

[SWv2]

Irish? How can he be Irish, for all love? He talks broad Brummie, ffs!

Same mongrel blood as you.

Think his old man is more Irish than Enya, or perhaps that is Declan Rice’s old man.

He was our brightest star at one point, a young Premiership player of acknowledged promise. Our U21 Player of the Year, and then he decided he was English and wanted to try make a go of it with Gareth Southgate.

People still hate him here but then we are brilliant at grudges. See Thierry Henry.

[Ash]

Happy Paddy's WEEK, btw. :thumbup:

Everyone* gets a week now. Pride has a week, which I've come to dread here, as everyone is expected to take part. :-|

Why is this a matter of debate? DOES HE TALK LIKE A CARTOON CHARACTER? No, he talks Brummie. :judge: #englishandproud

My rugger team had what was called the 'Enya' fixture the other week. I went 'Eh?' and got the response 'Sale away...'

[Burney]

Have to be honest here, sw. Thierry Henry isn't the first example that springs to mind. :hehe:

One advantage is this year it is on a Sunday so the parade can actually take place on the day here. And we aren't playing so no need to fight to get into the pub on a Sunday afternoon. And all the rugby is on a Saturday (I shall be wearing green for that!)

[Ash]

Have to be honest here, sw. Thierry Henry isn't the first example that springs to mind. :hehe:

:hehe: Forget 800 years of blah blah blah. That bloody handball!

Yup. Sounds like Tel's taken a lot of the heat off Cromwell.

Your average Paddy on the road would not even know who Cromwell was. See below .... no mention of Oliver.


However, before the show aired, the producers of Why Does Everyone Hate the English? conducted a survey of 700 Irish people and asked them to list what they disliked the most about English people.

• Their obsession about Royal family

• Their general 'pomp' when it comes to tennis and cricket
• Going on about the war
• The fact they seem to have no intention to learn any other language
• Beer bellies
• How much they moan
• Wearing socks with sandals
• Why people feel the need for orange fake tan in winter

You lost are obsessed with us. It's really odd. The English know nothing about the Irish and care less, because, why would they?

I think you're just jealous.

To be fair, if someone was foolish enough to ask an Irishman to come up with things they hate about the English, I'd imagine they were there a while.

[SWv2]

You lost are obsessed with us. It's really odd. The English know nothing about the Irish and care less, because, why would they?

I think you're just jealous.

People were asked about the English as part of the research for some UK based television programme.

There most certainly is no "obsession".

Most Irish people I know really could not care less about the English, the hatred or whatever is totally over played. We like to visit your country for weekends of leisure.

So how was Paris SW? Or did i miss your review
Have you got a list on the french folk now?

[Ash]

• Binge drinking

• How much they moan
• They complain a lot


Someone's not very good at compiling unique lists, unless moaning and complaining are different things in Ireland.

Also, good thing Irish people don't binge drink. :thumbup:

This was quite recent, past 12-18 months I think.

Part of the recent Al Murray programmes about why you are so unpopular.

I aim to blend in seamlessly with the Frogs and move among them as one of their own.

can't be about me, sw.

I'm not obsessed with winning the world cup in 1966 nor the Royal Family.

Further more, I've never ever worn sandals, never mind, with socks.

[Sir C]

This weekend BB.

You'll need to smarten up a bit sw. Dirty fingernails. Wellies. Your aul' Da's coat tied up with bailing twine. These things are not de rigeuer in the City of Light. :hehe:

[Ash]

I expect that as an Irishman your excellent skills in speaking French will help. Might be an idea not to call them frogs though. They might think you're English.

Yes, a lot of sweeping generalisations and reductionism there. The racist *******s.

Some great answers in there to be fair. Love to know who they asked.

[Ganpati's Goonerz--AFC's Aboriginal Fertility Cult]

Well of course not. But the Irish will take anyone they can get. Half of them used to have pictures of JFK on their walls, ffs!

What's accent got to do with it? KP and Trott sounded like Saffers but I'm damn sure they won Ashes for England. Thus they are English.

[Burney]

No. They were mercenaries operating under a flag of convenience. They sounded like Saffers because that's what they were.

Then there's Captain Morgan!

Yes. I'd imagine he was somewhere on sw's list, tbf.

[SWv2]

Yes. I'd imagine he was somewhere on sw's list, tbf.

He deserves to be shot and hopefully one day will be.

I don't think he bowls, so tends to be the one playing the shots.

The war's over, SW. The weapons have been put 'beyond use'.

Well, yours have.
