Pillocks like these guys don't do much for the public perception of the police

Good results for us today, got a jammy point, Forest fall off the pace and you lads have even more games to distract and wear down your players
-
Well we robbed Swansea a treat there, didn't deserve a point at all but we'l take it and go back top.

Oh well, congratulations on losing to Cardiff then - was obviously part of your master plan. Best lose again on Tuesday just to make sure

28,607. How many pens did you need this time? Di Matteo's obviously told them "Heya ladsa, if hea toucha you, go down likea you been shot" At least that dirty twat Thomas finally got the red card he's been trying for all month

How many penalties have you lot had over the last five games or so?!

What was shocking was the attendance, said on Sky Sports News it was about 5,500. Sorry, but County deserve to progress after that sorry showing by the home lot.

Palace go into administration, could only name 3 subs last night and their administrators wouldn't let them play their best player in case he injured himself before they sold him (and they scored a peach of an own goal for us - when you're down, you're down). Pompey's official website is down because they haven't paid their hosting fees http://www.portsmouthfc.co.uk/ Pretty terrifying time to be a football fan, don't think the top teams are immune either looking at the jaw-dropping debt figures on Man U and Liverpool's books. Plaything teams like Man City and Chelsea at least have someone with a load of cash to inject rather than taking on debts, but an Enron style collapse of one of their owner's main companies could easily see the club seized as assests and stripped. I think we'll see clubs that have been living within their means like Villa and Everton really starting to challenge. Arsenal seem to have done it the right way as well, bringing youth through that they can cash in on, developing young talents rather than buying ready made galacticos and owning their stadium outright instead of owing money on it.

Unofficial Harry Redknapp testimonial? See we've finally got that fella from your lot after the absurd situation I was talking about on the last page. Sounds like they put that pillock with the bell or someone in charge of their paperwork. Edit: We've also signed Wayne Routledge

Sorry Flameboy, I don't say this lightly but I've come to the staggering conclusion that your club is run by even bigger idiots than mine is. We've made a bid for Mike Williamson. If anyone's saying "who" that's because since Portsmouth bought him for£2 million quid from Watford in September he's not actually played. That's presumably because they can't afford to play him, seeing as the contract they signed (and didn't read, by the sounds of it) stipulated they'd owe Watford a load of cash if he actually gets onto the pitch. So, seeing as he's probably on the same crazy wages as the rest of the squad and they can't even play him they want shot and we need bodies, so the other day they accepted a £900,000 offer from us for him. Now they've just announced they "misread his contract" and if they sell him for £900,000 they'll owe Watford £1.2 million and the deal has stalled. Funny that Portsmouth, West Ham and Southamption have all ended up in a crippling financial situation and they've all recently been managed by the same saggy-faced tax dodger.

It's OK, 600 solar powered audio bibles are on the way, crisis over http://uk.reuters.com/article/idUKTRE60I02P20100119 Totally worth using that money, plane, space and runway slot for audiobooks instead of medical equipment, food or water.

You'll hear it from me, Leeds did a good account of themselves and were worth the victory, came inches wide and hit the woodwork as well. Rooney and Owen wouldn't have scored if there'd been 20 minutes of Fergie Time, never mind five.

New Championship attendance record at St James' Park yesterday, 49,644. Would have been nice if Boro had been arsed enough to sel out their allocation and nudge it over 50,000, but then they've been playing in front of a quater-full stadium most of the season so it's a bit much to ask.

Please no more campaigns for Fairytale of New York to be number one, if I have to hear that fucking song one more time... -

Daft, you're reading far too much into the very limited thought process of the people who created this group. IF the choice of song doesn't matter and you don't need the "Fuck you, I won't tidy my bedroom" attitude of this particular tune, if it really was about "cultural domination", then they should have picked a random song that WASN'T published by the big three companies which have a stranglehold on the industry and control 95% of what we get to hear. In terms of subversion and revolutionary action, this ranks somewhere just below buying a Che Guevara t-shirt from TopMan. -

At least X Factior number ones aren't Christmas songs. If they keep people from bothering to write christmas pop songs because no-one else has a chance of getting the number one spot then that's fine with me, I'd rather have some cheesy Cowell number or a crappy cover. -

But the whole campaign is the result about people getting wound up that some manufactured pop is going to be Christmas number one, just like last year and every year. Alternative music doesn't get to number one, that's why it's alternative music. In fact many people would have a long hard look at their music choice if their favourite band was fighting with Britteny and JLS for the Christmas number one spot. -

There seems to be some kind of mis-communication here, I don't think anyone's missing the 'point'. The point has been explained repeatedly. It's not that people don't get the point, it's that the point is laughably pointless. -

"Control popular culture", give me a break - by buying loads of copies of a song you've already got from a massive multi-national corporation? Zack de la Rocha must be spitting feathers. Why not just ask Simon Cowell to give all the people in this thread who are obsessed with X Factor their own vote number every week, than you can all phone in and give him more of the attention he craves and sit on the edge of your seat seeing if "I don't like the X Factor" beats some warbling bint from Luton? That'll sure show him. As for not about the money, guess what, everything's about money at some level. What do you think Sony BGM is going to spend the hundreds of thousands of RATM sales on? Bringing through edgy, break through bands? Or putting it towards more marketing for stuff like X Factor singles? -

This entire thing is utterly fucking stupid. Since when have consumers of alternative music cared about who wins a popularity contest like the number one spot? Surely if you're a little rebel you don't care what's number one? And why are people acting like before the X Factor Christmas Number 1s were great? They've been shit, insipid pop since all of you were born. "Fuck you I wont do what you tell me!" "I'm going to tell you to fight mass-market pop by taking part in an orgy of consumerism, buying this multi-million selling single from a billion dollar record label, in the process trivialising a song about endemic racism by twisting it to have a go at something as banal as a TV show" "Fuck yeah, I'll do what you tell me!" -

Sorry, I think you're wearing some serious rose tinted specs. If a game had come out in the NES or SNES era with this level design, game mechanics and difficulty, people would have been absolutely amazed by it and would still consider it a great game today. The problem isn't that it lacks the magic of the games of a previous era, it's that the people playing it aren't the wide-eyed and easily impressed kids they were when they played the originals. It's that nostalgia that makes people still love those games, not some kind of devine infallibility that they ahve and NSMBW doesnt.

Are violent video games damaging to society?
BlueStar replied to flameboy's topic in General Chit Chat
The Fox News outrage at CoD:MW2 is hillarious. "You can play as terrorists and kill civillians!" Look, people have played games involving conflict for decades. The classic conflict is between good and evil, and if you're going to play it as a competitive game then you need someone to be the bad guys. The people moaning about this probably played Cops and Robbers, Cowboys and Indians, Japs and Commandos when they were kids. If they were on the team of the robbers or the "Japs" did that mean they were condoning criminals or Nazi sympathisers? Same with WWII board games or Civil War re-enactments, someone has to be the Nazis or the Confederates. And then "But the terrorists kill civillians!" - how would you like terrorists to be portrayed? like the A-Team, where they pepper an airport with automatic weaponry, amazingly leaving anyone who's not in a military uniform untouched because they care about collateral damage?
