*Official* English Football Season 2014-15

[GIMH]

Decent free kick that

Reckon keeper might have done better for it tbh - seemed to get his footing all wrong. Entertaining game on the whole, but wish people would stop saying things like "look, look, the 'magic' of the cup isn't dead, told you".

Well there's no 'magic' when the big boys win but nonetheless it was a great advert for what makes the cup great.

I don't necessarily disagree, I just wish people would stop attempting to ram it down our throats at every opportunity.

Reminds me of a quote from the Remains of the Day:

"The English landscape at its finest—such as I saw this morning—possesses a quality that the landscapes of other nations, however more superficially dramatic, inevitably fail to possess. It is, I believe, a quality that will mark out the English landscape to any objective observer as the most deeply satisfying in the world, and this quality is probably best summed up by the term 'greatness.' … And yet what precisely is this greatness? … I would say that it is the very lack of obvious drama or spectacle that sets the beauty of our land apart. What is pertinent is the calmness of that beauty, its sense of restraint. It is as though the land knows of its own beauty, of its own greatness, and feels no need to shout it."

Edit: Or that bit from Game of Thrones:

Any man who must say 'I am the king' is no true king'

Very obvious similarities to be drawn between these statements and people telling us the FA Cup is magic imo.

Stevie, still a different class. A thoroughbred amongst mules.

My favourite came from twitter- being magic is a bit like not being racist, the more you have to say it, the less likely it is to be true.

Arsenal keeper Wojciech Szczesny slapped with £20,000 fine for SMOKING in showers - Mirror Online

Heh, heard a few different stories on what happened but this one takes the cake.

 

[Pothas]

Oh lad.

He can always come back to Brentford.

 

[sledger]

Bloke must be an idiot. About time Ospina was given a chance to show what he can do anyway.

 

[grecian]

Should we decide on a new side for Furball? I mean poor guy and his fluttering between sides to support isn't really going well.

Rangers, ****, dortmund ****, arse ****. He needs a new team to be invested in.

So we need a one with perhaps an hipster appeal, poncy football and a nasty sectarian stripe down the middle, surely we can find one that fits this portfolio in the world of football?

 

[Uppercut]

Dinamo Zagreb fit the bill perfectly, assuming their style hasn't changed much since the 90s.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Top quality trolling from the Mail, they've gone up in my estimation: Steven Gerrard is one of the best ever English midfielders... who else makes Jeff Powell's top 10? | Daily Mail Online

Feyenoord?

Have the hipsters' cache of being both Dutch (the home of poncy total football) & a sleeping giant (former European champions with no domestic titles this century yet) and their fans are noted bigots of the anti-semitic strain. Hate Ajax because they're a "Jewish" club and charmingly regale their rivals with a hissing sound, which is meant to represent the gas being release in the chambers of a concentration camp.

 

[sledger]

Haha that is really rather funny.

 

[Pothas]

Marseille I reckon. Got Bielsa.

I think a lot of crack Eastern European outfits would fit the bill, but they're not really around anymore. Really we need a modern equivalent of Red Star Belgrade circa 1990.

Legia Warsaw have some hipster cred because of their fan art, and they're plenty bigoted. Not sure they play adequately hipster football but their recent run-in with Celtic might give them an unassailable edge.

There must be a South American option as well, should ask Tim Vickery.

Good shout, mind you on the Jewish front not sure Ajax have that much to be proud of (or indeed most of Holland) after reading Simon Kuper's book on the subject.

Gawd, this is going to be a long 8 weeks of recuperation over my bunion op, if this is the best trolling I can come up with.

I'll just go for drinking myself insensible (or moreso), starting now.

Feyenoord are ****ing scum, no thanks.
