STEVIE B Posted 8 February 2011 Author Posted 8 February 2011 How are people not getting it? I assume that it's a joke..? Yes,a joke.It basically Sven laughing at what he thinks are Clough's rather high hopes.C'mon fellas,work with me here !!!
Captain... Posted 8 February 2011 Posted 8 February 2011 A slight reworking if you didn't get it the first time: Leicester manager and a manager of any other club you feel like making the butt of the joke are being interviewed. Interviewer asks other manager what his plans are for the next season, he makes very modest claims such as consolidation, finishing, mid table, maybe making a play-off push. Interview then directs same question to Leicester manager, he makes outlandish claims such as register as a nation and go on to win the 2012 World Cup. Interviewer says, "You're just being silly and taking the piss now aren't you?" Leicester manager referring to the other manager replies "Well he started it", Thus implying that the other manager's reply was just as outlandish and ridiculous, in other words saying that for them to have a season of consolidation and finish mid-table is as likely as Leicester winning the World Cup, if you still don't get it it's because they are shit! Some people say explaining a joke ruins it, what do you think? Another Classic joke: <Insert opposition manager's name here> is walking his deaf, blind, 35 year old three legged mongrel of a dog, down the street. He kicks a can and a Genie pops out and says I normally grant 3 wishes but you are such a loser you will only get 1. He wishes for his deaf, blind, 35 year old three legged mongrel of a dog to become the best racing dog in the world, better than the fastest grey hound in the world. The Genie says don't be ridiculous, it is a deaf, blind, 35 year old three legged mongrel of a dog that is the stupidest wish I've ever heard and looking at the state of your dog it is probably physically impossible, try again. Ok, he says, I wish that <insert name of opposition team here> get promoted/win the FA cup/win the champions league/win the premiership (delete as appropriate). The Genie thinks about it for a minute and says, "Ok, lets have another look at that dog."

Captain... Posted 8 February 2011 Posted 8 February 2011 I don't get it ..... is the dog Steve Howard? Steve Howard has 3 legs??? has someone been watching him shower? (Just ask if anyone needs this one explaining too)
funkyrobot Posted 10 February 2011 Posted 10 February 2011 Steve Howard has 3 legs??? has someone been watching him shower? (Just ask if anyone needs this one explaining too) Yeh and I've heard the end of it is shaped like a 50p piece like his head and his feet! (Just ask if anyone needs this one explaining too)

Uncle Monty Posted 10 February 2011 Posted 10 February 2011 I just saw a pigeon out of my window, what a treat.
Captain... Posted 10 February 2011 Posted 10 February 2011 Just a poor rip off of the greyhound/Genie joke! It is the greyhound/genie joke ? Are all jokes going to have to be explained on here? The original post, is either a joke or a prediction of the future as it is referencing things that haven't happened yet, i.e. Sven and Clough having a post match interview on Saturday. If it isn't a joke then he must by psychic, hence wellyfox asking for more predictions of the future.

I was on about the person I quoted, if I was on about you I would have quoted you petal. It was the way in which typed as it was barely readable. Hence the "?" I knew what he meant, it just wasn't readable.
Captain... Posted 10 February 2011 Posted 10 February 2011 I wasn't on about you. I was on about the person I quoted, if I was on about you I would have quoted you petal. I was just trying to clear things up and explain the joke that seemed to have confused you. Unless a "?" has a different meaning to the one I'm used to. If you had not wanted other people to reply you should have had a private conversation, unfortunately this is a public forum and everyone can read what you put and has a right to reply. I will try again. You were quoting Wellyfox, who was quoting Langston, how was referencing the origanl joke, which started "After Saturday's match Sven and Clough are being interviewed". Referring to Saturday's match vs Derby which is in the future. Langston said: "Is that a joke?" Wellyfox said: "If it's not he must be psychic" (paraphrasing here) You said: "?" I tried to help, you took offence and now the sky is falling in. Edit: Ok just seen your edit and I wholeheartedly apologise, I have just got used to crappy text speak (and people not getting jokes) that I didn't even notice it. Edit 2: There are probably some people on here that didn't get it, so I'll leave the explanation up Edit 3: Although if you're going to get precious about illegible posting then perhaps you shouldn't expect people to understand "?"
Bugg Posted 10 February 2011 Posted 10 February 2011 sorry a "?" was a stupid response. I won't do it again, Sir.
Captain... Posted 10 February 2011 Posted 10 February 2011 sorry a "?" was a stupid response. I won't do it again, Sir. Apology accepted now give us a hug. also a few of these made me laugh: http://www.footballjokes.co.uk/clubcolours/derby.html
