  1. he doesn’t even go the game
  2. any job is a good job
  3. all you had to do was mention Zionism to attract a brand new audience let’s move on: I have to admit I was sceptical at the time but a new show came on the air to rival LHOTP’s stranglehold on the afternoon midweek slots “where the Indians are the goodies” (to quote my friend Louise, age 8ish) anyone remember it? sounds like it was ahead of its time
  4. I bet there’s probably an episode where a Native American shows up and the townspeople are mean to him but the Ingals show them the way and if so, LHOTP can once again be praised for promoting simple moral messages about good conduct which brings us neatly back to Trent…..
  5. that wasn’t the point of the comment it runs far deeper than “be grateful you’re not starving, stay in your lane etc” it was a comment on not being bullied by people who have the need to confirm their own sense of superiority by looking down on others - in the episode in question, by the little girl’s (Laura) bratty school mate, who made fun of Laura’s father’s situation, as he ‘couldn’t even get a good job’ interestingly, one can also use Charles’s (Laura’s father) quote to challenge one’s own sense of entitlement as well as that of one’s tormentor; indeed one can use it to examine whether these tormentors even exist, or whether they have sufficient presence to be considered a factor at all
  6. I learned a valuable lesson from Little House on the Prairie, aged around 9 ”Any job is a good job” I advise looking up the episode in order to understand all the nuances of this assertion
  7. if he goes to the manager and asks him what his future at the club is, Arne should quote Shankly when asked similar by a player in the 70s ”Your future!? who d’you think I am, Patrick Moore?” this was a rare instance of the great man getting something wrong ie mixing up astronomy and astrology note: this anecdote may contain several innacuracies
  8. a perfect storm then (una tempesta perfetta)
  9. the best case scenario might be that we win the PL with games to spare, he starts all of those spare games and does well and he carries on next season, with some PL experience and a full pre-season behind him
  10. every time we had a set-piece, Rob G and I were like broken records, like Waldorf and Statler grumbling about our lack of product this season “what’s wrong with us? what’s our set-piece coach doing? who is our set-piece coach? he needs firing! yeah, firing out of a cannon!!” so that was double catharsis
  11. well yes and no it affects people differently this is my 48th year as a fan and for the last few years I’ve spent the matches feeling sick with worry unless we go 4-0 up, then wondering why I put myself through all this. An AI would do the calcs and pull me out of it at once. I’m also missing several months of the season abroad, which was unthinkable a few years ago (while my ungrateful son cleans up on my ST) that said, I’ve come back for the finale, starting yesterday, which btw was like an advert for why it’s a mug’s game as per above the euphoria if/when we win will be more like relief tbh we’ve waited so long and been through so much heartbreak in the league - even 2020 wasn’t as it should have been cos of COVID - and I am desperate to see us win it in the context of a match at Anfield with a full stadium, hopefully Spurs, to win it or celebrate having won it
  12. its a bit like that show about tipping points: ’Tipping Point’ for this reason, expect Chiesa to figure prominently, at the expense of the hapless Nunez
  13. why? it’s not like our manager is an idiot
  14. Chiesa came on v Fulham and was better than Nunez, who was mostly s*** again so you can expect Chiesa to figure prominently, and score, against West Ham
  15. well I’m saying it too tudo bem? what’s going down?
  16. great news (for me…. but also all humanity) - I’m back for this one I feel like Morissey in that song “I’ve waited hours for this, I’ve made myself so sick”
  17. FSG is/are not the USA whereas the gulf-run clubs are PR vehicles for the regimes they represent that said, who gives a f***? so keep your nose out of it
  18. petrified they used to give soldiers three shots of rum before they went over the top in WW1 so that’s what we’ll need until it’s won (dosage may be adjusted) also, EVERY religion allows rules to be broken in certain circumstances, so if you need to calm your nerves and are thinking about experimenting with ‘temporary alcoholism’ but you’re not sure, then this is the place to get responsible help and advice
  19. isn’t it best just to see West Ham as a cup final? win that and we’re HIGHLY LIKELY to beat Leicester comfortably then a huge game to look forward to against a dysfunctional Spurs so in conclusion, let’s take it one game at a time while planning the next four games
  20. wake up lads, it’s game day! what’s the craic? 4 wins from the title how are we feeling?
  21. Given that it’s winter, it effectively means a Halal fry up before training and then missing lunch - no biggie he’s a pro sportsman so obv he can hydrate and just pay a Fyda (sp?) to make up for it the further good news is that he’s minted and generous so everyone wins
  22. what do you expect from the forum’s Mr Sensible? (mr sensible?) as soon as I hit ‘submit’ I’m off to see if the Mr Men franchise had a Mr Sensible if so, it could blow things wide open
  23. 1 glad you enjoyed it 2 I’m spending most of the season in Spain these days (back for the business end obv, starting with West Ham) so my house is usually available foc - thus breaking up the journey (all visitors must feed the fish) 3 one day, I’ll come to you for a favour, and as you’ve read this post, you already owe me that favour
