[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

Never said I wasn't one mate.

 

[Rosco]

The two faced cunt.

I'm deffo ignoring him again when i go to London next month

 

[LeTallecWiz]

You're great.

If this was Fowler turning down a penalty simply because he decided that honesty was the best policy, everyone would be like 'what a great guy.' Remember that infamous game against Arse in 97 ?

Truth is most of us fans, if not all, are really fickle minded hypocrites whose opinions change more frequent and faster than the humans in the Walking Dead. I admit I'm probably one of them too but some of us don't try so hard to pretend we're football saints who think we know it all.

That's why I like Klopp a lot. He doesn't take himself too seriously yet he's not one to mess with when it comes to getting the job done and done right. And he's not too proud nor afraid to admit a mistake when he's made wrong decisions. That's humility and I think that's why so many people like him and can relate easily to fans and players.

Klopp said it was a penalty. Does that mean you're sure he was right? And Klopp's humility does not preclude him from numerous emotional outbursts during and after games. His touchline antics have been remarkable (I mean that word in its most literal sense) on occasion, and he had form for abusing officials in Germany. Bt I don't mind that really. I think it's an emotional game and I would react the same way, probably. People are different. Benitez was very implacable and collected most of the time, and that's fine too. Cool almost. But personally, I like that honesty and emotional rawness, if it's a genuine reaction.

Managers defend their players, nine times out of ten. Kenny with his Suarez T-shirts. Houllier with the grass-eating. Wenger never seeing anything. Baconface rarely admitting anything ever.

There are occasions when the player isn't given that protection, and the manager comes out and says it was a dive, or a bad foul and will be having a word. Again, quite a few managers have done this too, but it's pretty rare.

I'm not sure what your point is. Lots of people think it was a dive. Many aren't sure. I can understand your annoyance at the partisan and biased reaction that is totally hypocritical in your opinion, but football is a partisan sport and sometimes totally irrational. That's why it's great.

Come and have a drink with me instead. I'm two-faced, but Irish by parentage, so it's allowed.

Haha, I like that qualifier! I thought Pardew's jacket throwing seemed a bit theatrical and rehearsed, just like Sherwood and his jacket / gilet throwing act.

Oh wait. That's only if it's someone I like.

In Pardew's case, he's a histrionic, embarrassing, hateful man-child.

Sorry for any confusion.

We got far more flak for celebrating with the fans after drawing a game than Palace are getting for whinging after losing one. They lost in the last minute. That sucks when it's you, but shut up and move on.

Letallec is a lot more ascerbic and antagonistic these days. I like it

He's usually taking the piss though, which kind of undoes it all, I wish he was just hateful for real.

Will we end up in the Shoreditch or somewhere like that ?

Right, because I'm a twat?

It's a fair point, actually.

 

[Rosco]

Because you mentioned it years ago

I have a stupidly good memory for useless facts

 

[darkstarexodus]

What constitutes a dive?

Is it simulating contact and falling to the ground?
Or, does it also extend to situations when a player theatrically falls after a slight nudge?

To me it's the latter. Meaning a situation could be both a foul and a dive. And officials should call it that way if warranted.

Totally agree hence why I think Benteke dove

It was close to where I used to work. Isn't now, so fuck it.

It's deffo full of twats though. If you think of the trendiest, studenty/ arty/ media/ creative/ fashion, part of Dublin where everyone has a weird haircut and thinks they're ace, times that by about a hundred. And then double it.

Mind you, by the time I've typed this, they've all probably moved to Dalston and Clapton. I can't keep up anymore. I live in fucking Surrey for God's sake. That's like Killiney, except less edgy. And further away from the capital.

6CM DOES LONELY PLANET.....Act like a lumberjack shirt wearing bearded local (or if you prefer to be less of a wanker, an estate agent) Ross; and refer to it as "ShoHo"

Just get Arn to post more ... Him and Glock are the only posters who get me really angry, and they're both fucking spam bots ... Us brainless Jews, such a rarity.

I too have accepted the delights of Surrey, but (trufacts) infrequently refer to it as anything other than "fucking Surrey".

Ha.. I think you're probably the most passive/laid back poster on here LTW, it brings me back down to earth alot when someone winds me up, tbf.

Nobody has ever referred to it as "ShoHo"

Closest was a bar called Sosho Match, because they had one in Soho too. But that burned down and the Soho one has closed. I frequented both, back when I was younger/ happier/ richer/ not a parent. Fuck my life.

Yeah, the promise of loads of boss suburban swingers and coke-addled yummy mummies has been a total washout.

It's like Birkdale. i.e. not even as good as Formby. In fact I go home to Ainsdale for a lad's night out.

Incorrect Brendan - referring to it as ShoHo (Shoreditch & Hoxton) was all the rage a few years back, by wanky arty types, micro brewery fans and estate agents...... plus Timeout magazine and lots of other assorted "whats on in town tonight" jobbies

 

[manwithnoname]

Skully, have you ever been to London? They love goths in Camden. It's like the Krazy House round there

God, really? Maybe that bar was called ShoHo too. Whatever, I'm deffo still cooler than you. Ten years ago.

EDIT: it wasn't. And I've never heard anyone call it that. Mind you, nobody calls Fitzrovia "Noho" either, despite some effort
