*Pope vs Rabbi*

Several centuries ago, the Pope decreed that all the J3ws had to convert to Catholicism or leave Italy. There was a huge outcry from the J3w!sh community, so the Pope offered a deal. He’d have a religious debate with the leader of the J3w!sh community. If the J3ws won, they could stay in Italy; if the Pope won, they’d have to convert or leave. The J3w!sh people met and picked an aged and wise rabbi to represent them in the debate However, as the rabbi spoke no Italian, and the Pope spoke no Yiddish, they agreed that it would be a ‘silent’ debate. On the chosen day the Pope and rabbi sat opposite each other.   -The Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers. -The rabbi looked back and raised one finger. -Next, the Pope waved his finger around his head. -The rabbi pointed to the ground where he sat. -The Pope brought out a communion wafer and a chalice of wine. -The rabbi pulled out an apple. With that, the Pope stood up and declared himself beaten and said that the rabbi was too clever. The J3ws could stay in Italy.

Later the cardinals met with the Pope and asked him what had happened.   The Pope said, “First I held up three fingers to represent the Trinity. He responded by holding up a single finger to remind me there is still only one God common to both our beliefs. “Then, I waved my finger around my head to show him that God was all around us. He responded by pointing to the ground to show that God was also right here with us. “I pulled out the wine and water to show that God absolves us of all our sins. He pulled out an apple to remind me of the original sin. He bested me at every move and I could not continue.”    

Meanwhile, the J3w!sh community gathered to ask the rabbi how he’d won. “I haven’t a clue!” the rabbi said. “First, he told me that we had three days to get out of Italy , so I gave him the finger. “Then he tells me that the whole country would be cleared of J3ws and I told him that we were staying right here.” “And then what?” asked a woman. “Who knows?” said the rabbi. “He took out his lunch so I took out mine.”

Seriously, creative is the most ambigous term in football. Everyone has different opinions about what 'creative' means and it starts arguements. The only term I hate more than 'creative' is 'free flowing'. What the fuck does 'free flowing' mean? I remember someone said that Chelsea played 'free flowing' football in 09-10, but all I saw was robotic and efficient football that ended in a lot of goals. There was nothing different between 09-10 and 11-12 except for goals scored. So Malouda, Lampard and Drogba hitting the form of their careers make the team play 'free flowing' even though they played the same the seasibs before and after but with less of an end product?

Fuck this terminology bullshite. Fuck it all.

I'd rather say things like:

  • Retains posession
  • Starts counter attacks
  • Looks for the final pass i.e assist

It isn't as concise but it's more precise than this bullshit 'creative'. Fuck that terminology and fuck 'free flowing'.

:clap: That post was very....creative :P
