Two words: morbid curiosity. That explained, I strongly suspect, a large fraction of their Twitteratti. However, this never-ending train wreck on the Island of Dr Morreau continues to reward connoisseurs with rich and seemingly inexhaustible seams of comedy gold: I for one can hardly wait for the next side-splitting instalment

This reminds me of an alleged comment made regarding an ineffective junior Army officer: "His men would follow him anywhere, but only out of morbid curiosity."

Can't claim it as mine, sadly - just quoting from C.S. Lewis in The Screwtape Letters

Shame: perhaps the excitement of the occaision overwhelmed him. But you, on the other hand, will be able to sleep at night

"A phoenix Pompey may rise triumphantly from the ashes, yet there is no guarantee the famous old girl will join it." How about 'raddled harlot'?

'bye.

Quite. Wasn't he the one that, when the subject of fresh meat supplies was being discussed in relation to eating some Hobbits and was knocked back by a senior orc on account of their being wanted alive by the authorities, asked "What about their legs? they don't need their legs"

"It was a mistake", Goebbels once said, "to conduct propaganda in such a way that it will stand up to critical examination of intellectuals". Quoted in Financial Times at http://freespace.virgin.net/christopher.arkell/london.miscellany/m35/spin.htm

I think its more that he feels that by providing a handy link to the twittersphere, rational right-thinking readers will read his piece and be astonished that anyone could think it anything other than brilliant and objective journlism. At any rate, comments appear now to be disabled for that article

Nicely put :adore:

This has to be one of us: http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/whittingham-trust-will-continue-to-show-their-worth-1-4675464 UnAppy 7:01 PM on 12/01/2013 "Will they pump money in if we have a chance of survival? That question's tough to answer." Surely the point is whether the 'HNWs' will continue pumping money in if Pompey cannot improve their current performance. After all, everyone knows that football is the best way for billionaires to become millionaires. Its hard to imagine them all wanting to become LNWs

hey, that only requires 5 straight wins and all their competitors to lose. No problem for the bestest provided they can maintain their undefeated record at Fortress Fatpipes. Oh...

Even Bury & 'pool got points this afternoon, so yes Lg1 foot of table tonight: 16 Preston 34 17 Shrewsbury 30 18 Carlisle 29 19 Oldham 27 20 S****horpe 25 21 Colchester 23 22 Bury 22 23 Portsmouth 21 24 Hartlepool 13

I can no longer see a difference between the spoof twitter account and the ramblings of the bestest sports journalist in all the land ™

The clue is in the name. Their drainage pipes will be clogged with fat and the pitch will resemble Flanders after three years of war

Please God.

My irony detector has just gone off the scale and strangled itself with its own gizzards

With respect, you are failing to compare apples with apples. Is Totton's support the bestest, most passionate in all the land? Have they a bell-ringing ***t whose half-naked acolytes never fail both to inspire the faithful and strike fear into the enemy? No? Thought not

All it will take now is for Walsall to score 1 more and they will be 3rd off the bottom. And if the Iron can score against Shrewsbury tomorrow they'll be one more position further down. Happy days

Heinekin don't do 1/2 time scorelines, but if they did...

Yessssss you beauty

*snork*

Recipricated. and more of the same please
