So does every council - for the same reason. But pulling yourself to lesbian porn doesn't make you a lesbian. I'm kind of amused by the angry disappointment from the football writers over our start and the fantastic response of NUFC fans despite having their club assett stripped.

madras Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 some humourless people on here. it's actually quite complimentary and those that are getting their nicks in a twist need their filters re-adjusting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 This was posted before, the guys having a laugh. Think the comments underneath are more embarassing than anything he wrote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I think people might have missed the tongue-in-cheek nature of that article. It's just a guy saying he's surprised and disappointed by his lack of opportunity to laugh at us... if anything it's a complement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Aye, it basically admits to being gutted, which is a back-handed compliment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course i know its sold, what a pathetic arguement. I am just pointing out the majority here use the net to read then for free, i dont spend a penny on papers.

I am just pointing out the majority here use the net to read then for free, i dont spend a penny on papers. And you know this how ? Visit each individual PC or laptop personally, do you ? Make sure there isn't a copy of the Mirror ? Or is perhaps just an off the cuff comment ? Like mine, which you over-reacted to ? some humourless people on here. it's actually quite complimentary and those that are getting their nicks in a twist need their filters re-adjusting. It's still an absolute joke of an article, mind. which was its intention. Many spiteful things are tried to be passed off as "jest" when they're meant alright. Even the act can be viewed as done just to get a response. Do you see such attacks against any other side ? Even Leeds didn't get this constant battering.

Even Leeds didn't get this constant battering. leeds did get this battering when they first went down. maybe you didn't realise as like most you found it funny and joined in. it's a complimentary article dressed up as an attack,probably in parody to the usual attacks about us and you are getting angry cos you didn't get it.............................. and are probably short.

Guest Phil K Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 You're a pretty angry guy, Phil. Are you short? Angry ? No - I respond in kind - hadn't you noticed ? Short - Eh ? What a dozy question. No. I suppose to some of you this is a "backhanded compliment", eh ? and are probably short. And you are probably a bag lady. By all means, allow them to laugh at you if you wish, and do their work for them. Then ponce around trying to lecture someone else who isn't as amused as you pretend to being.
