Summer Transfer Rumour Thread.

[Joe!]

That's not mutually exclusive with the jokes being funny is it? Think you just have a chip on your shoulder about the comedians you don't like. You clearly resent the fact that they make lots of money and pull in big audiences.

I never said it was mutually exclusive. That, and the fact that none of them are funny, are two totally separate (but accurate) observations. I don't resent people who make money; we all want to make money. I resent the fact that they have sold themselves out and made a mockery of the profession, purely to make some money, and they know that's exactly what they're doing. They write material that they know the public wants to hear, rather than material that they personally enjoy. Sort of like Metallica post-Black Album.

P.S. I know I'm making a sweeping generalisation and that not all stand-up comedians fall into my description, so don't bother pointing that out.

Back on topic. Cortese on holiday for another week is a tad concerning?

Who cares, we're getting relegated anyway.

I think the point about panel shows becoming the source for Britain's leading political commentators is a pretty valid and worrying point.

We go to our comedians for politics, and to our politicians for comedy.

So true.

 

[Joe!]

So true.

I should point out that I didn't make that observation. I heard it from someone else and I can't remember who. It's a good line though; funny and sad.

For another week?! I thought he was due back very soon.

Nick Clegg!

Does he really need to be present for anything? Surely he can do most business over the phone?

Jos Hooiveld is secretly not SpongeBob, but his friend Patrick.

You need some happy pills!

**** you. We're going down.

 

[- Doing The Lambert Walk]

You make a fair point Joe.

Jos Hooiveld is secretly not SpongeBob, but his friend Patrick.

Good lord, those are some serious drugs you're taking.

 

[The Based God]

Southampton going down with no money in the bank

 

[Jose Fonte baby]

**** you. We're going down.

Not when we have your best mate Guly in the team.

And now with a lack of transfers people are saying Adkins is going to get sacked?! Here it goes again...

Truth be told it's very easy to avoid idiots who say things like that. Don't look at the Saints facebook page, don't look at the #saintsfc hashtag, don't follow morons on Twitter. Sorted.

You've definitely got a weird sense of humour!

Seriously though, you seem to have a problem differentiating between your opinion and fact. I don't like Lee Evans either but that doesn't mean he's not funny. He is funny to many people.

Back on topic, I'm not worried that Cortese is on holiday. Any company that grinds to a halt when its chief exec is out of the building shouldn't be in business at all.

SpongeBob JosPants?

Patrick 'Jos is a' Star?

Well yes. Interestingly guess who 1 person fuelling these rumours is? Le Tissier Junior.
