  1. I guess it doesn't help that I'm from a modest working class background, never poor yet never rich. Old money, nepotism and the very privileged have always rubbed me the wrong way. As far as the rich and posh go, I do however like Stephen Fry. Not many have his charms and wits. Anyone can tell that man has worked his fingers to the bone to get where he is, despite his personal issues.
  2. Is it just me or is Jack Whitehall's 'rich, posh manchild' schitck incredibly irritating? I think I would like him a lot more if he weren't a rich private school knob.
  3. The Chilean likes their beer spicy. Who'd a though?
  4. Corona is one of the worst beers in the world. They feed a bunch of shit poor Mexicans tequila and get them to piss in a large vat; bottle it and sell it as 'beer'.
  5. Hector Herrera is one ugly son of a bitch. In the words of Rodney Dangerfield: 'he was so ugly when he was born, the doctor slapped his mother'. @iseah100, any relation?
  6. I forgot this game was one. Chelsea fan of the year.
  7. I'd say they are equal. East St Louis in Illinois is the most dangerous place in America. Then of course there is Chicago (lovely city) whose infamous south-side is the shooting capital of the states despite guns being illegal in the state though most of it is gang related. Detroit, LA, New Orleans, Cinciannati, Camden, etc. It's all about neighbourhoods in America, a street corner makes a world of difference. A semi-automatic rifle is fine. Single fire and limited clip capacity. Not to mention the size of the average rifle is cumbersome to take into any public place without instantly causing suspicion. I'd wager it is far more difficult to commit mass murder with an M1 Garand which is single fire and has an 8 round clip, so a potential of 9 rounds to be shot before reload. Difficult to wield, heavy, cumbersome but powerful. The average highschooler will probably have a rough time killing his peers with this. I'm okay with these sort of weapons. However a Glock 27, a very popular handgun holds an 8 round clip (up to 22) but is the size of the palm. You could carry 10 of these on your bloody person, it's lighter, smaller and packs enough stopping power to kill or injure someone in close quarters. It is legal to have a Glock 27 concealed on your person in some American states. What a world we live in.
  8. That Rivaldo fella is still knocking about. Get 'em on a play-for-play contract put him at rightback and we'll be knocking on Thursday night European dates for the next few years.
  9. Sign up that Adebayor lad on a free and sell 'em next year for a profit. Next pop in a 50p bid for that Alexis Texas fella from the Ukraine. I hear Niko Krankjar is available for loan, get 'em for a season and a half at 50% wages with an option to buy for half a mill.
  10. I wish you were wrong and I'm sure you do too. :blue scalf:
  11. Fantastic point. Let's we go along with the idea that every person in America owns a firearm: A thief breaks into a fellow's home at 3am in the morning. The thief knows the man owns a weapon. He has two option kill/restrain him in his sleep or ignore him. I don't see how a firearm in this situation helps the homeowner unless the homeowner is present, aware of the home invasion and has access to their firearm. All the cards are in the thief's hands; that is of course if the thief is capable and not a bumbling buffoon that knocks vases off mantle's and smashes windows to gain entry. I will reiterate. I am not against gun ownership, I am not against guns, I am against loose laws and zero regulation. Many, many people are smart, trained and even minded enough to own and operate guns privately at no cost of public or private safety. I am 100% comfortable with people owning guns that have proven they are mentally stable, trained and licensed. In my home country of Australia, tight laws, training and certification are needed to gain one of many classes of gun licenses. That being said, automatic, most handguns, concealed and open carry laws should be banned outright as they are the most dangerous to public safety. One does not need an M16AI or an M4 to hunt or protect themselves. Gun ownership is a freedom that must be earnt. It is not a birthright; it is a privilege bestowed on those that capable of handling such weapons.
  12. I doubt it. Not every player's threads light up with activity after a match. Maybe is the game was won people may be in a likelier mood to shower a Chelsea player with praise. Besides, maybe it is a relief to watch and discuss a player that is actually doing well as opposed to the dire situation this club is in? Good games are expected of Courtois. He has generally been consistent for most of his career. Not entirely true for the patchy and streaky Lukaku. It seems as if a lot of fans on here still have an affinity with Lukaku and there is nothing wrong with that. Sorry, if I came off the wrong way, I just had no idea why you brought it up.
  13. You did respond to me though. It was a question, because if you kept reading I said I didn't understand what you meant by your post.
  14. People generally get more excited over goals than a bloody goalkeeper, not that they don't for the latter. But you know that and are just looking for a way to put people down, correct? I really don't get your post.
  15. Yeah, what a coward leaving a club that didn't give him game time. Should have fought for his place by scoring hat-tricks in his allotted 3 minutes of game time per month. Going back and reading the drivel Pacquiao had to say about him makes me want to ban him again. Which is very possible given his disposition to makes alternative accounts.
  16. He was at the club over 7 years ago. I bet a lot has changed since then.
  17. I'm sick of tired of players that don't care about the sport and are only here for the shekels. In other words, I hate football and most sports.
