I cracked up after hearing yesterday's announcement that P*rtsmuff had sacked their manager...................NOT for the obvious reason that I can't stand the smelly flat fish f*ckers....and hope they go all they way down of course....
But because the posh lady newsreader who announced the news..........
.....said "Pompeii" (as in the ruins) had sacked their manager. HILARIOUS.
Twats.
Anyone else hear that?

So Domenech is having a hissy fit after the fierce criticism from King Eric.....
......says Eric "not fit to talk since he never qualified for the World Cup"......
.........now since EC has five English top flight championship medals and two FA cup winners medals plus French league and Cup medals....
.....this is a bit rich.
So what is more important; international or club success?

Excretia City, trailing 1-0 as time is running out in the Second Half, and then Excretia's Tully gets sent off with a Red Card, so Excretia City is playing with only 10 men against 11, and with only 2 minutes left in the Match ADAM STANSFIELD puts it into the goal at 88 Minutes, and Excretia City gets a remarkable Draw against a much better Millwall team. Excretia City's streak continues as they have NOT LOST a match in a few weeks.
But A WARNING: Now Excretia Fans need guns, knives, swords, and also bodyguards because the Milwall Hooligans will be looking to kick ass and raise holy Hell tonight.

What is the question?
(Tongue in cheek, but true)
Clue: I can only think the shame of the events on Wednesday in Paris triggered this abomination

what this place would turn to if England actually wins the World cup? The mere thought of it just gives me the creeps.

Following the defeat, Wigan's players are going to refund fans.
Is this the start of a new trend?
As a sidenote, can't believe Titus Pantus is still playing top-flight - he's shit.

If your country gets knocked out of a tournament early--or isn't involved at all--do you pull for the people whose language you understand?
For example, if you're English and England is in group A, and the Australians are in group B, are you pulling for the Aussies to come out of group B, on account of cultural commonalities?
I ask because there's something instinctive in me, personally, that makes me do that sort of thing, and I was wondering if it was just me.

I know quite a few people who are now in two minds, as they are embarassed at some of the players representing England and can't stand the thought of various odious twats in our team winning world cup medals. Have to admit, I'm one of them. What do others think?
This is a question for the Poms by the way, not the English-obsessed inferiority-ridden sheep-theives and drive-tarmacers, who I know would like nothing more than to see Blighty win next summer.

Thierry Henry has admitted he considered ending his international career, and that he felt "let down" by the France Football Federation following his handball against Ireland which helped put the country through to the World Cup finals.
