Amazing.

Vacuous soundbight from vacuous man, makes man look vacuous

Now asked if Ukraine should receive a bye into the WC, he said that seemed like a good idea. Their opponents? Scotland and then Wales

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Fucking dickhead needs to shut his craw.

 

[Kenny]

His first good idea IMO...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I can guarantee that will have been deliberate, the fucking Eton wanker.

 

[Tony Towner]

Nah I heard it in the car he was clueless, just blagging it with what he thought would be the popular response. Had no more knowledge of the qualifying process than I have in who's number 1 this week. Any standard politician would have said something along the lines of 'what's happening to the Ukrainian people at the moment is horrific, but I don't think it's appropriate I discuss that'. Unfortunately he's not standard

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He said it because Sturgeon and Drakeford think he is a prick

 

[Tony Towner]

He didn't, he said it because he's clueless

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Quite possibly, but I wouldn't put my scenario beyond him either.

and just when you think they have seen everything that is mad in football.....along comes Steve Cotterill winning 14 from 18 games to nab the title from nowhere
If someone had asked what is more likely before that takeover - Sven rocking up in League 2 with Sol Campbell or Steve Cotterill becoming a managing god I would have backed the crazy Sven idea.

Not to be a pedant, but why is that speed measured in MPH and not KPH?

 

[Kenny]

Thats how we measure speed here

We've never changed to kph, still on good old mph...and our signs are still in miles

Y'all are weird.

 

[Sniffer]

Y'all are weird.

Its took you this long to work that out?

 

[Alan]

I'm not very perceptive.
