General Football Nonsense

On this landmark morning in October 2016 I find myself partially agreeing with Oliver Holt.

As someone who still takes medication for anxiety conditions, I know I can't speak for everyone but I cannot see how nutcase is really a disparaging remark.

And Jesus the coach of 1899 Hoffenheim is younger than Koscielny, Giroud, Monreal

I think anyone using the word nutcase should be banned. What's wrong with the word cunt? If you are going to offend somebody then do it properly FFS!

Eventually people are going to realise they are living in a loony bin. Nutcase is right.

Female friend of mine said she wanted a campaign to reclaim the word Cunt because actually there is very little reason why people are offended by it more than other words.

I think it's basic Onomatopeia in play.

Cue an ad hominem remark about Xavi being made by Mourinho, he won't be able to help himself he's not well.

And I'm not being disparaging of mental ilness, I'm pointing out that Mourinho is mentally ill not as a criticism but because he meets the criteria for a certain personality disorder. And yes part of having that disorder makes you a total cunt.

I suppose it is one of those words that crossed a threshold as we moved from the bad old days where women tended to be referred to in respectful terms (even if they weren't treated with much practical respect) to the modern utopia where political correctness has magically transformed our language into... oh no, wait. Disrespectful language towards women, despite all the social engineering, is on the rise. How strange. It's almost as if political correctness has achieved the exact reverse result to the one allegedly intended.

Well yes generally political correctness is just being offended on someone else's behalf

But people moan about it when they are just being cunts. So I guess the best solution is to say to them "I agree with you about political correctness, you stupid ignorant cunt"

My favourite ever goal, that.

bale has been named Welsh player of the year for the fourth year in a row :rolleyes:

You would've thought Ramsey could've been in with a shout after his performances at the Euros.

That's pretty much an award Bale has wrapped up for the rest of his career. :lol:
