Certainly seems likely to raise a chuckle. Not sure if there's an English translation available though... the Italian one would be of very little use to me!

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/columnists/gabriele_marcotti/article5263546.ece Antonio Cassano. Saw him play live this season and he was absolutely fantastic. One of the best individual performances I've ever seen. Different type of player to Matty but seems to have a similar outlook. Loves being the big fish in the small pond. “What is truly important is being happy now. I know I haven’t given 100 per cent physically or mentally to this game. At best, I gave 50 per cent. Maybe a tiny bit more in the good years. But so what? Thanks to my talent, I live like a king, I play football and I have a great time. If I had wanted to give 100 per cent, I would have stayed at Real Madrid, sacrificed lots of things, done my very best and I probably would have succeeded. Instead, I’m here at Sampdoria and I love it.” Funnily enough I think our national team, and the country in general, would actually benefit from adopting a bit more of this attitude. Life is for living!

That's becasue you are a myth TBF.

Yes. What is a "Gallican" and why don't they like it?

There was no porn in that internet video. To whom may I make my complaint?

Whilst I applaud the club's desire to do the right thing by membership holders, surely this could have been done without suspending all new applications? Don't they log the date when you join? I'm sure they do. Anyone who joined before the draw gets priority over new members but the club might still get some new member revenue from speculative applicants. Cup gate receipts are split 50/50 aren't they? Therefore, without any spin-off revenue this game will only generate the same (actually less, than most home league games) in gate receipts for the club + probably a tv fee (£50k?) + some burgers, beer etc... much needed but not exactly a huge windfall.

Indeed, but she should have thought of that when she got dressed. (I also secretly think she was loving it!) I think it was her first shift as well which made it even funnier. We were first in there... I turned to my mate and said "you know what's going to get sung later...."

The Antigallican, pub right next to Charlton station. I'm not one for purile "bird" threads on this forum but there are few things quite so noteworthy as a very petite girl with massive knockers IMO. Especially when they are on the verge of escape.

No probs! Also, shout out to the Irish guy who seemed to be the manager - top bloke!

Massive Lol@the reaction when they drew Swansea.

I think so. I think the away-day boozer is an integral part of the away-day experience and worth talking about.

McGoldrick's potentially a very good player IMO but would definitely benefit from having someone like John up front with him.

in the Antigallican :smt119:smt041 The little one in the white top. Quite why she chose to wear a bra several sizes too small is anyone's guess but I applaud her nonetheless.

Is Peter Storrie even more objectionable than Harry Redknapp? I think so. He is utterly charmless, witless and borish. The John Prescott of football.

But sadly one presumes we wouldn't have signed him if that was case.

Gertrude Rathbone Wildebeest?

Did Bridge ever get booked for us? Didn't he also play something mental like every minute of 105 consecutive matches or something? Can't believe no one's nominated Duncan Spedding. For the avoidance of doubt, I am not nominating Duncan Spedding. Although I may nominate him and Graham Potter for left wing.

So does this give lie to the "Wilde only has money because he bleeds Merlion dry" school of thought?

Haha... I wonder what happened to "you know who" and his agressive promises.

I thought the word was "roboplegic wrong-cok".

Unless this rumour can be corroborated by a groundsman, ex-player or fat slob in a short-sleeved shirt and tie then put me in the "sceptic" camp.

Oh my god, you iz quoting Lufer King, iz u balck?

It's nice that someone has so capably, if slightly more verbosely, long windedly, far less funnily and without self-parody, taken over Scooby's mantle.

UI and On the March were quality. Red Stripe was pish.

We'll stuff someone soon then win 6 out of 10. See how much the opposition likes us then.
