If you''re feeding your huge family at McDonald''s every day, and your income is provided by the government, then the government had WAY overestimated how much your family needs to survive. McDonald''s is far more expensive thsn groceries. -
Expectations
Gainer the Gopher replied to The Great Mass Debater's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
I always expect a comment from Flake District. I expect it to be condescending, hypocritical, needlessly wordy, boring and evasive or off topic. Those are low expectations. Not caring one way or the other if he does or doesn''t comment is no expectations but also wishful thinking. -
Yoyo was captain. Had an up-and-down game. So far, Fer has been better than fair.
-
Standing throw ins only would detract from the game. Spray the foam line, if player passes it, ball goes to other team.
-
Apparently not for that good natured ref. Another one kept talking at players faking injuries and then offering them a hand up instead of pulling out the yellow card.
-
I was stunned when an Argentine player pulled up the corner flag, tossed it down, walked away, and the ref strolled over to the flag to replace it and nothing was said or done to the offending player. I thought wasting time was a yellow card.

Wow, it''s actually 10 million! I guess I count as one because I''m left handed. Where''s my parking sticker, gov''t cheque and sense of entitlement. These sorts of bizarre numbers only serve to diminish the cause of truly disabled. 80% or more of them could become undisabled with a hard boot to the posterior. It''s sad so many want to be thought of as victims. It drains the resources for the truly needy. -

Isn''t 6 million about 10% of the population? I see Spartacus and bloodwagon already challenged this ridiculous number with some wit. I was thinking precisely what Spartacus wrote. Fat and lazy is not a handicap, it''s a character flaw. Likewise welfare dependency. If this counted, the number would probably be much higher. -
Canada dominates in curling and to a lesser extent in hockey. Just because a commenter lives in Canada now doesn''t mean he has greater affinity for it than for his country of origin. Or maybe he likes thrm both and is disappointed in both.

Yes, and Italy look like England did yesterday, unable to work around a persistent, determined, confident, pesky foe. -
How many games will you give Adams.................

Squit is being literal, Reggie is being practical. Problem solved. No, it''s not unreasonable to expect a good show, but that''s not what the ticket guarantees. However, if the business ignores its clients wishes, the clients will disappear so it''s in the business'' own interest to provide something to keeps its clients. That includes replacing a hopelessly inept and boring manager before it''s too late. -

Very nice goal, and you gotta think technology saved it for CR because the ref didn''t seem to know until he got the electronic signal. -

TICOS! Friggin'' spell check!!! -
England need Italy to set up. Costa Rica beat Uruguay quite handily albeit without Suarez. Stranger things have happened so don''t take an Italy win for granted. For example, Rooney scored in a World Cup match.

Miggs, he mishandled corner kicks, slapping them away like they did in the Monty Python sketch where a women''s auxilliary group re-enacts the Battle of Hastings. It was almost as if he knocked the ball away with his handbag while letting out high-pitched shrieks.

Not what I expected when I opened the thread. This is dark humour at its best. Thanks for the laugh!

This just in: God hates Rooney. What a waste of a roster spot he is in World Cup games.

OT: Brazil 2014 World Cup
Gainer the Gopher replied to splutcho's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Concacaf is doing very well so far. This is the first World Cup in decades that people haven''t been pining for success by African teams. Where did that condescending paternalism go?
