Tubby Beaver 209 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 yeah thats the ones I mean. So it was only the filthy disgusting Glasgow team who didn't wear them.....arseholes Of course they wouldn't. With them being Scottish, it means they have to do the same thing as the English, but at a different time, so they can complain about: A) those English bastards; the imperialistic rule of the English government; C) those imperialistic English bastards of the English government or D) all of the above. No........its because they are Irish (of the plastic variety), and.... it means they have to do the same thing as the English, but at a different time, so they can complain about: A) those English bastards; the imperialistic rule of the English government; C) those imperialistic English bastards of the English government or D) all of the above. Most of the SPL had Poppy's on their shirt Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I think the "everyone on television must wear a poppy" thing is weird and creepy. It seems like it was hyped by Blair to drum up support for the Afghanistan and Iraq invasions, because it was never as high profile before. It seems little different to Fox News and their "support the troops" propaganda. Make the troops into martyrs so no-one questions what they are fighting for and what the plan is. As for the football, a welcome-for-once international break and then.... THE CLASH OF THE INVINCIBLES!!!! Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I have always bought Poppies from the old guys in medals and berets in the streets, I don't think its politicised at all.....soldiers have to go in to difficult situations regardless of who is in the hot seat....for that I feel we should give them our support......the why and the rage that follows should be focussed squarely on the shyster politicians who put them in there.......again, regardless of who they are. I for one don't really associate the Poppy with the wars that have been waged recently (although those soldiers are just as worthy), mainly its those who died in the 2 world wars an the subsequent freedoms that we've enjoyed since. Wearing a small red flower for a day is the least we can do and the shameful display by Celtic fans last year left me ashamed that they were from the same country as myself......

big-will 7 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Tevez is funny Tévez has decided not to contest a fine of £396,000 - reduced from £792,000 following the intervention of the Professional Footballers’ Association - as a result of being found guilty of five breaches of contract while a substitute during the 2-0 defeat in the Allianz Arena on Sept 27. The news broke as he landed at Ezeiza Airport in Buenos Aires at 9.40am local time on Tuesday, despite a request to return to Argentina being declined by Roberto Mancini.

pie-eater 207 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Yes long may he stay and (hopefully) disrupt Man City. Though he doesn't seem to be doing much of that actually so far! Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Yeah, Agent Tevez really need to try harder! Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Looks like Tevez is going to be fined again now for not turning up to training by being in Argentina. He really isn't very bright is he. ( Or is he? ) Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 England players WILL wear poppies on black armbands during Saturday's match after Fifa backs down Phew, I was losing sleep over the prospect of them not wearing poppies on black armbands. Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 After another annoying "international break", its back to the Premier League as Wigan continue their fight for that Champions League spot. On telly this weekend: Saturday Norwich vs Arsenal, 9:45pm Manchester City vs Newcastle, midnight Swansea vs Man Utd, 2:30am Sunday Chelsea vs Liverpool, 1am Tuesday, or something Spurs vs Aston Villa Link to post Share on other sites

scouser 4 Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 Midnight was do-able. When it gets to a 1am or 2am start things start getting silly. Maybe on a Saturday. I don't think I'll be able to manage the game on Sunday/Monday, as "massive" as it is. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 MAN CITY v NEWCASTLE, Saturday 3pm The only two unbeaten teams in the league Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Yes, its the Clash of the Invincibles. Harrods vs. Lidl. Apparently Newcastle are 10-1 to win. Its the longest odds for any team this weekend, even higher than Swansea vs. ManU. Considering the Toon are third and have the league's best defensive record, that's pretty crazy odds.

grungy-gonads 54 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Not an inspiring game this, again. Main thing is the 3 points though, if we get them. DId they just say that City have scored 42 goals in 12 games? That is truly impressive. Damn! Link to post Share on other sites
