As far as I'm aware, he hasn't actually killed anyone though.

Ever heard of the word Metaphor..or the expression Metaphorically speaking?
Journalists use metaphors all the time.Id feel more sympathy for the bloke who nearly lost his eyesight,courtesy of the unspecial one.

From the Independent..............Saudi Telecom are already United’s longest-standing commercial partner, while last year they agreed a separate “strategic partnership” with the General Sports Authority of Saudi Arabia.

The Owners are a Public Investment Fund that own a 70% stake in the company

When they say public..........it´s Sovereign Wealth i.e. the rulers of Saudi.

The Public Investment Fund (PIF) is a sovereign wealth fund owned by Saudi Arabia.

So basically the scum are backed by the Saudi top brass.

Indeed I have. I've even heard of similes you know. Bet you're impressed now.

Yes, it's a metaphor. And I'm allowed to call it a really, really stupid one

That's a lie, they are so ethical and correct that they would never take money from such a source .

Fucking Independent journalist is clearly an Arsenal fan .

It's a phrase that is considered worse in Spain/Portugal than it appears to us.
Beckham called a linesman 'son of a whore' (the male version of the line, basically) when he was at Real, and was sent off for doing so.

Pretty sure i can remember Jose insulting none other than Christian ronaldo years ago...something to do with the player having low intelligence,such a characteristic being typical of the area of Pourtugal he originated from...Never slow to insult another is Jose...

Not forgetting the time when chelsea were easily beating another team at the bridge,with 5 mins or so left,and jose approaches the opposition bench shaking hands with the manager,attempting to shake hands with the assistant roy keane ,who ignored him..before disappearing down the tunnel..he,d seen enough,his team had won,easily,he didnt need to be there...How insulting is that?? This is a man who shouts "No respect!" when others dare to criticise him.

 

[SWP's back]

Headline in the Guardian: "Mourinho's career is like the plague: has he run out of people to kill?"

Now, I'm a long way from loving the blessed José, but fuck me what kind journalism is that? Christ.

It’s actually a very good article and fantastic metaphor.

The idiot in the White House is called Trump, therefore it’s Trump's.

Unless you’re talking about more than one Trump, of course.

If thinking Luke Shaw is sh*t and not as good as he was when he was at Southampton is being a bertie then f*ck me, I must be a MASSIVE bertie.

Imagine saying other people's opinions are biased or just wrong because they don't agree with you, it's an opinion!

Just putting it out there - but I'm a massive Bertie :-)

Ready for the hate........

That's a fucking terrifying thought. Have a care.

Sorry, mate. I didn’t mean to frighten you.

There is more than one Trump?
Shudders*

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Might have been a bit blunt, I agree.

Was that at the MGS anniversary thing?

Yes. It wasn’t an anniversary thing, just a standard meeting in their Business Class series.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Hi PB, in one set of years end accounts I seem to recall there was a massive cost due to the pound to dollar rate changing on their borrowings. Do they still gamble on this or do they forward sell or buy to afford themselves a measure of protection?

Bit of both I think. Some is hedged and some isn’t. They reported a £5m gain from unhedged currency movements but part of their finance cost related to hedging.

The denim jacket might just be:

Expecting Tom to say that any City fan that wouldn’t wear that just because it had the United crest on it is a Bertie.

No, because his last name doesn't end with an S. If it did (E.g. Jones), then it would be Jones' book.
The same rule would apply if we were referring to a plural:

The Joneses' car vs The Trumps' car.

Correct.

There’s not much I agree with you on, but I do on this.

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Fined a whopping 15k Euros for their recent late kick off.

WOW!!!!!!!!

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Can't believe I've only just read about that new range of denim that United have released with True Religion! Quite possibly the worst thing I have ever seen.

So...............where do I get some? ;-)
