With every wicket he takes, I'm losing more and more respect for Flintoff.
DEAR GOD MAN, STOP ACTING LIKE SUCH A SMUG LOOK-AT-ME CUNT.
You've just taken the wicket of Nathan Hauritz, batting average of 13, and you're kneeling on the ground like a Messiah. You look like an absolute twat.
And please, don't call me bitter or an England-hater. My thoughts on Flintoff as a cricketer are well-documentated, and in the 'Flintoff Retires' thread further down this Forum.
He's reminding me of Thierry Henry. And not in a good way.

What?
Given the circumstances, I think it's understandable.
If a bit OTT

Kneeling on the ground, arms outstretched, eyes closed, head titled.
FUCKIN LOOK AT THE STATE OF HIM
[/quote]Its hardly relevant who the wicket was is it? Hauritz has fuck all to do with fuck all. Hes just performed to the best of his ability with the ball and taken a five wicket haul AGAINST THE AUSSIES in his LAST test in the fucking ASHES at the home of cricket. Its the equivalent of scoring a hat trick at Wembley in the world cup final in your last ever game.
So quit your fucking boo-hooing and start compiling more of your oh so insightful and on the money commentary for the next match.

So you don't think he looked like a twat then?
I've gone on record re Freddie's ability, did so the other day. Doesn't mean I can't call it when I think he's acting like a smug fool.
I predicted an Australia win, I wasn't the only one Oncy. During that time you were giving it the big one about "how I would move KP up the order, but I wouldn't it's just what I was thinking, not saying we should, lets' move on warble warble warble..."
[/quote]Haha youre reaching. And not with much hope.
We've won this test, but the Pieterson issue remains if you think that deflects from what a plank youve looked fairly consistently since before the start of the ashes when you were predicting dominance from the Aussies and amongs other thing Johnson the best bowler in the world.
You like him have had a bit of a torrid time so far, but not to worry eventually you'll both get something right. Just keep plugging away.
Look im teasing and im sorry. Your comments about Flintoff are ridiculous in terms of what they mean in this game and his life and career. Yes you are coming off as bitter and a bit of a sore loser, when theres no need.
Hopefully england have showed you that it isnt 'australias to lose' but by the same token its essentially one all and with us having to win, Australia still have an away goal.
Great series so far. I'll stop teasing now i promise.

Have a look back through this thread Oncy. I've gota lot more correct than I have incorrect, all of which you've conveniently forgotten/omitted.
As for Johnson, he's ranked currently in the Top 5 bowlers in World cricket. Check the rankings. His form in this Series has been one of the biggest talking points going, but you know that anyway.
[/quote]I know. Like i said im just fucking around. Im very level headed and honest about my team, i try to call things as i see them always and im not going to start riling you up on a wind up because frankly im still nervous as fuck.
I think you are totally and i mean TOTALLY wrong about Flintoff on this day in this arena. Youve (for me) just not read or appreciated the importance of it. Other than that i am just fucking around. But you know that right?
