Someone, who may or may not have been a member of this forum, creating a Twitter account featuring a profile picture of Norman Tebbit being carried disorientated from the scene of the Brighton Hotel bombing, under the username 'Tebbit's Cum Face' Aforementioned account being the only Twitter account favourited by David Cameron, the sitting Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, presumably while he was trying to remember if he supported West Ham or Villa

Exhibit A, the following list of stories as to what happens when you fully enable a man in need of legitimate and substantial mental health support because it's the 1980s and because he's one of the most naturally talented players of his generation, swinging wildly from world-class trolling, to being a Geordie Forrest Gump, to a series of uncomfortable crimes: quote:1) One hour after playing for England, met 'showbiz pals' Danny Baker and Chris Evans in a Hampstead pub while still wearing his full kit... boots included.

Sven Goran Eriksson having an affair with an FA secretary, a story that Sven's long-term girlfriend wasn't particularly happy about, but otherwise not of a huge journalistic significance other than it being damned impressive that a man who looked like a dead ringer for c montgomery burns managed to gently caress as much as he did the head of the FA offering the press that he would shove this poor woman out in front of a press conference, in exchange for them not reporting anything to do with the fact that he was also having sex with the same FA secretary, a much more interesting story that the media immediately reported in full along with the attempt to undermine the manager of the England team by the head of the FA FullLeatherJacket fucked around with this message at 22:57 on Feb 24, 2021 |

I love the logic of punching four separate people on the grounds of "what are you going to do, give me a quadruple red card?" and then the FA subsequently giving him a twelve-match ban for four red-card offences He kicked, he swore, he was not actually that good at the game when you boil it down, but there goes the smartest professional footballer the world has ever seen

Alctel posted:What was the train of thought behind this, did they just run out of fit players Pearce had Jon Macken on the bench, who was an actual £5m striker (a poo poo one, but it's City) who was overlooked for bringing on Nicky Weaver and sending David James up front wearing a pre-printed outfield shirt, which would suggest that this was a tactical plan that Pearce had thought of before the game I can see the logic if it's his last game for the club and you want to do it as a laugh, or even if there's three minutes to go and you're just loading balls into the box to try and get a head on it, but City actually needed to win and instead he mainly wandered around the edge of the box and flailed about in a way likely to injure himself or an opponent, as was the style at the time
