Toxteth O'Grady

Kompany leaves City to become player/manager at Anderlecht on a 3 year contract. Good move for him.

@Bjornebye would you take Hughton for the Celtic job?

I can only speak as I find, but I thought they played well against us twice this season, especially at Anfield early on, they looked a good side. Had you offered any and every Brighton connection a 17th placed finish at the start of the season, they would've had that. Shitness of modern football, again.

Brighton have sacked Chris Hughton. Came as a surprise to me. I know they've struggled at times this season, but what did the fans and board expect? A top 10 finish? He's brought them up and kept them up and give the ungrateful cunts their only sniff of Premier League football in 30 odd years. They must have somebody lined up, otherwise it's an odd decision.

Smells like Spleen spirit

I'm just in the right mood to report some cunt who is illegally streaming tonight's Ajax v Spurs game. If anyone could point me in the direction of these shysters, I'd be obliged.

every single one of the magnificent sexy bastards.

The lad's best game in a red shirt, he was immense tonight.

We are the fucking greatest football club in the world.

"Blouses off Birds, it's the Hammersmith Hard men" still cracks me up.

Ruby Walsh has announced his retirement this evening after winning the Punchestown Gold Cup. Surprised when I heard, but I think it's the right decision. He's had a wonderful career and one of the greats in the history of jockeys.

That Gary Wilson fella looks like ET. John Higgins coming into some form during this session.

That's the Wizard through, well played Johnny boy.

This is the most wide open World Championship I can remember. Trump vs Ding would've graced any final, shame one of them had to go out now. I'm hoping for a Higgins win, but he's still struggling for form and Bingham won't go away. Robertson looks to be playing well, but I think that was more to do with Murphy being terrible. Trump is the bookies favourite and if he's ever going to win it, this is his best chance. It's been up and down with shocks all round, I'd say the quality has been down on previous years, but it being wide open adds to the overall spectacle. Maguire is still a fucking oaf. Every time I see the cunt I think "get a fucking shave, lose 3 stone and get a tie on you fucking lump". I'm not sure how the draw pans out, but a Trump - Robertson final would be a good watch.

Sounds like an ideal replacement for Moreno then. Like for like in fact.

Fuck off with the Neville Southall pisstaking you bunch of cunts. What are we? Loose fucking Women? Neville Southall is a proper decent human being. He is what he is, how he looks is irrelevant, the fella is a top example of human dignity and those shaming him need to give their heads a shake.

Mook

Which is an accurate and succinct evaluation and also has echoes of 70s and 80s politics. Substitute Adams for de Valera and Brendan Hughes/Martin McGuiness for Collins and you have a picture of the 1980's onwards

He was. Kevin Lynch was also from Derry. This is a good read.

From Bellaghy in Derry, the majority of the hardcore provisional IRA were from Derry. Patsy O'Hara was INLA and from Derry. Francis Hughes, Tom McElwee and Mickey Devine were all from Derry, Republican heartland. They weren't Nationalists, which is a political way of disposing of their actions, they were Socialist Republicans that wanted all of England's influence out of our country and a socialist and United state as imagined by the 1916 statement of intent.

How many chances do you need to stop making a cunt of yourself?

Right OK then soft lad, I was going to leave it, but you seem to be determined to win the arbitrary Sunday word game award, There you are with the username of the greatest practised Communist that ever lived, and here you also are posting about how Horses are just disposable commodities, there purely for you to bet in Handicaps, and that you don't care who they are, what their names are or how they end up. The Cheltenham festival isn't there for your betting enjoyment in Handicaps, it's there as a celebration of Equine achievement, the very best of the best and it's there to be enjoyed and celebrated, not to be dismissed. So far you've had three chances to think about what you've said, to reflect on it and then say "hmmmm, yeah OK, maybe trying to be a clever cunt on a Sunday night be diminishing the overall splendour of the actual occasion"...But no, in the spirit of the contrary cunt, you've excelled yourself, and despite taking the chance to say "actually yes, it is about more than betting on Horses who I regard as disposable commodities for the pursuit of profit, but also about the history of jump racing". you've ploughed on, making a wanker of yourself, despite me saying discussion over lad. You might feel like a clever, superior cunt for about the time it takes you type out a reply, but in the long run, when this thread is revisited in years to come, people will look at it and say..."fucking nob, couldn't shut his yap when he was wrong". And in the shirt run, I'm saying that given your username as a so called Communist, you lack proper respect for Horses and also respect for the Cheltenham festival. Now, I'm positive you will have some glib response to this, cunts who like to play word games always do, but look back on what you've said and give your head a shake and show some respect you tedious arsehole. A fucking Communist you are not.

They seem to be mate, she's No Annie Power mind.

That's our discussion finished lad. Not interested.
