"How I turned a Torres Hat Trick into a criticism of Rafa" By Chris Bascombe

[RoboRiise]

I have checked for you. We wouldn't want a witch hunt to get off on the wrong foot, after all.

 

The exact words, after discussing the fact Keane scored 4 ("showing Benitez what he can do" apparently) are "Shame Rafa didn't play the 2 of them together..."

 

 

If he'd done that 12 months ago, he'd probably still be here. Shame really, if Voronin had some competition for the role of Ngog's back-up he might raise his game.

 

As for the article, that's some lazy, lowest common denominator shit right there. That's a generous interpretation by the way.

[DonaldDonaldson]

You're right. Most write offs on the front and back pages of newspapers have little to do with the writer given the byline.

 

Hey Count, would a ‘superb journalist’ just sit idly by and allow his name to be attached to an article he had nothing to do with?

 

Also, I’ve got the impression from some of your earlier contributions that you have been unimpressed with our current custodians; are you now ‘giving them some slack’ on the back of the ‘record shirt sponsorship deal’, ‘drive for a record stadium sponsorship deal’, and ‘ambitious spending plans for the next five years’, amongst other things?

[Dan Vito Corleone]

Would this be the same Count who outed them as lying cunts before we even signed Torres?

[Liverpool lad]

Can anybody sum this thread up quickly for me, 300 words or less?

[DonaldDonaldson]

The article that he did write, apologetic drivel for our custodians, was even worse.

 

Basco’s Boys are strangely quiet on that, preferring instead to engage in the old it-wasn’t-him-it-was-a-pesky-sub-editor routine.

 

Shortly the apologists will be claiming that Bascombe doesn’t write anything at all in the NOTW as they are just paying him for the use of his name. It will certainly make an interesting entry on his CV:

 

2007 - Present: Worked as a nom de plume at the News of the World.

 

:D

Predictable.

Hence I was asking if he has changed his mind.

[Liverpool lad]

We should have a sticky or a forum called 'Bascombe watch' were people can take this tedious debate and drag the arse out of it, without spoiling one of the better Liverpool forums on the internet.

[Ted]

Nah, people should just fucking get over themselves.

[Liverpool lad]

Easier said than done Ted

[DonaldDonaldson]

Says the man who keeps a candle permanently alight, wears black every day, and has resolved never to see another man, all because we got rid of Alonso. You were a hop, skip and a jump away from threatening to turn yourself into a human fireball, like a crazed asylum seeker that has just had their application to stay turned down.

Is that you, mum?

[DonaldDonaldson]

Is that you, mum?

 

Yes, and remember what I’ve said: “Time is a great healer, and there’ll be other men just as good as Xabi”. Now, what do you want for your tea?

[Ted]

Haha, other men just as good as Xabi. Good one, Jack.

[Guest Ulysses Everett McGill]

Haha, other men just as good as Xabi. Good one, Jack.

 

Your Mum is called Jack?

[Ted]

Quite literally.

 

Jacqui.

[Guest Ulysses Everett McGill]

Quite literally.

 

Jacqui.

 

Ace

 

So you do, quite literally, know Jack

[Ted]

Indeed.

Wonder what shite he'll come up with tomorrow.

[stringvest]

He might say that Liverpool were really unlucky and the goal should not have stood, and that the pressure we put on the Sunderland goal in the last 5 miutes warranted an equaliser. Then you won't be able to have a pop at him. But, if he says we were rubbish and looked disaffected, short of ideas, confidence and commitment, with the players not seeming to know what was required of them, then you'll be able to have a right go at him, regardless of the fact that he would have been telling the truth.

[dave u]

He won't have been covering the game, the north east reporter will have done it. He'll have been in the north west, probably at Everton.

[torahboy]

I watched the game and have my own views on it, resulting in my own critical and wildly malevolent feelings towards members of the club I support. I won't be reading what any cunt journalist has to write on our defeat, particularly little fat, cunt, Murdoch shilling grasping, twattable little twats like Bascombe. And before anyone points out that Tony Barratt also works for the paedophile's cartel, fuck him and his worthless views too. All journalists are self-serving, arse-licking toads and their opinions are as worthless as mine. Though the turds that work for Murdoch's rags are worth just a little bit less.
