...anyone who refers to THEMSELVES in the definite article is a right Cunt....

Exhibit A: The ZLATAN
Exhibit B: The HOFF!
Exhibit C: The DONALD

....need ANYONE say more?
 
One thing worse than a bad loser is a bad winner....
Arrogance is never a nice trait... regardless of whether he can 'walk the walk'....
If you lose, lose,with dignity...
When you win, have some humility for those who have lost, (and who you have 'conquered'!)

No one likes a smug Cunt!
He didn't conquer anything though
 
Except this:

What am I looking at here?
 
Yeah, yeah, I know, but before computer games it was a big deal in Britain. Throwing sticks up at the tree to dislodge the conkers was the fun part - it developed muscles and character. You’d arrive at a well known tree only to find it had been stripped of its conkers by a rival gang. It’s a kids game, but one that encouraged tribalism and gang fights at an early age.

Sadly, like many medieval children’s games, it has fallen out of favour due to political correctness. It also had scoring system that I won’t attempt to explain here.

alright Joe, help me here what were the names of the conkers that had the flat bottom again so had that razor like destructive power? it’s bothering me
 
Here’s a better video of our childhood game played by adults.



Many of these people would go on to become experts in stress fracture engineering - yeah I don’t know how either.

Interesting how different cultures keep themselves busy. Rafa Benitez’s brother in that video was pretty shit. I feel like I can take him.

Conkers got banned at our school cos they didnt want u climbing trees.... Nor 'conking' other peoples heads.

It was also the cause of a well know injury called "conkers forearm". This was the result of missing your opponents conker and allowing yours to upswing onto your lower arm. God it hurt after a while.
Was it vinegar they used to soak them in to make them harder ?? I can't remember.
Vinegar and then gas mark 2 for 20 minutes.

Turned them into concrete. However after a time (after they achieved 45er status) they would shatter into a million eyeball-lacerating shards.
 
Vandals have sawn off a statue of Zlatan Ibrahimovic outside Malmo’s stadium.

The 38-year-old, whose career started at Malmo, was immortalised in bronze by his former club in October.

But Ibrahimovic angered fans when he became co-owner of Swedish rivals Hammarby a month later.

Wonder why he thought becoming a co-owner of Hammarby was a good idea. What is the point?

It wasn't Malmö that commissioned the statue. It was the Swedish FA. Malmö city was then gifted the statue and it was decided that it was to be placed outside of the stadium. Just as a quick fact check on the article.

He didn't actually "buy" the stakes. Hammarby are part owned by the owners of LA Galaxy. And it was easier to gift him shares in Hammarby than to pay the actual sum to cancel his contract.

Still dumb tho.
 


This either incredibly positive about Zlatan. Or extremely negative about Serie A as a whole.

Also Admin Admin I think this can move to the general football section now.
