Coming from fans of a team whose biggest achievement was winning against the terrific and terrifying Sweden, all of this is really funny. See you on Sunday, guys.

Also, I'm from Northern Ireland so speaking as something of a neutral. A neutral which will be lucky to get to a world cup again in the next 40 years let alone win one. Anyway, congrats for getting to the final. You will be favourites (but not overwhelming favourites) in the final no matter who wins tonight.

goose2010 Posted 11 July 2018 Share Posted 11 July 2018 Must say Courtois has come across as a right bell end during this world cup with the comments me made about Pickford and now the ones from last night wind your ridiculously long neck in mate you lost fair and square. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will still keep it on the list since it helps creating the sensation that my point is right (I learned that from the Puel out brigade).

Leaving aside your risible comments that I am "laughable" or "perhaps pitiable" in my "pesudo-superiority" [because that's just your ego struggling to deal me a blow that your limited knowledge is incapable of dealing] - the beautiful game manifests itself in more than one way - sometimes it is an exhibition, or more rather an exultation, in the expression of physicality, spatial perception, creativity and technical skill as was the case in the Italy - Brazil final of 1970. Sometimes it is the expression of of arrogant superiority - as was the case when Leeds played Southampton on March 4th, 1972 (youtube.com/watch?v=D5N0pycFtmU). And sometimes it is in the battle between two teams of equal and great strength - attempting to create an opportunity or find a weakness in each other's armour. Maybe not as exciting to watch [in one way, that is] but equally enthralling. You perceive on a shallow level - and are, as yet, hopefully, incapable of understanding what lies beneath. But, as you state, everyone to their own ability. Are you French by chance, or just little Timmy? Your arrogance knows no bounds. Either wand or priest, feckless or fool. A lifetime spent honing yourself to a razors edge of pointless stupidity. Bravo sir - it has not been a waste. You amuse me greatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARM1968 Posted 11 July 2018 Share Posted 11 July 2018 4 minutes ago, Gerbold said: Be careful - when the jokes about surrendering and the reminders about Agincourt begin to appear - you know their English hearts have been affronted. Forgetting, of course, that they're all basically Germans and Vikings who settled in the British isles in the latter half of the first millenium and were later bested by the Normans (French-Viking) in 1066 and then, when these nasties wiped themselves out over the course of the Wars of the Roses, were subsequently ruled by the Tudors (who originated in Wales), the Stuarts (who originated in Scotland), then the House of Orange (Dutch), then the Hanoverians (German). We must remember too that it was Welsh archers who defeated the French at Crécy, Poitiers and Agincourt and that a 17-year-old girl led the French army which dumped the English outside Orléans in 1430. Touché is the word, I believe. Oh for God’s sake you master muppet. We’re all immigrants from somewhere if you go back far enough. Next you’ll be trotting out Lucy - possibly in the sky with diamonds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wander around, not knowing how to get out and they settle on one, until they become too annoying to bear and then one flicks them off. They persist for a time and then run out of energy and f**k off and expire. That’s the thing with flies. They like to land on sh!t. Incidentally, if you’re not too busy being led by the horse, could you continue your history lesson please. I’d love to know just what the exalted French did with their Maid of Orlean?

I know (I think) you're joking, but if you read any books about either world war (I recommend The Great War by Peter Hart or anything by Max Hastings) I imagine you'd find yourself as surprised as I was by how poor Britain was as an overall fighting force. The Army especially was pretty bloody hopeless for the majority of the second world war (which does not mean our soldiers were cowards, before anyone starts) and I would say in the first world war you wouldn't put one above the other in terms of effort/outcome/courage etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you realise trying to trigger someone talking about stuff done centuries ago by people only sharing things as irrelevant as nationality with them only works with people dumb and sad enough to be nationalist ? Luckily there aren't a lot of these relics from the past left in the world. On the other hand, I can understand why you're using that for banter instead of previous sucesses of your national team since there are nothing significant on this domain. The sadness of that statement almost make me wish you'll win on Sunday. Let's hope you'll get a lot of corner kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
