Gonzo's Erection Thread

Ahh, the illuminate

 

If a Frenchman and a German is good enough to manage one of the Europe's greatest clubs, then a European (someone like Sarkozy) is more than good enough to lead a scumbag party .

 

Yep, one voice against many. Let's blame the one, it's easier that way.

 

If I was a Manchester United supporter I would go to the Super Cup match against Real Madrid with a giant EU flag and the name of your wonderful club on it. Use a Union Jack as well to show that we are part of the EU and United as a club is proud to continue this connection. Incidently, do United, or Liverpool fans for that matter, bother to take national flags anywhere?

 

This is one of those issues that I really should read up, about ( in a list of about ten thousand) but are the articles of the 1998 HRA the same as proposed before the ECHR existed?

 

Not sure but I would imagine some do.
Most are their to support their club in a football competition, not wave dicks to prove which country is best.

 

Chelsea fans do and glorify the Queen and country. I hope Northerners in the great cities of Manchester and Liverpool think for themselves and do not follow national trends or even national thinking,

 

You are a little bit strange.

 

Freely admit to that. So is Morrissey and he is a son of Manchester, as is Ian Brown as is Shaun Ryder. I do not claim to be a son of Manchester but if I was I would proudly proclaim that city as a centre of culture, music, art, the birth place (Rochdale is the reality) of the Cooperative movement which led to the birth of the Labour party. It is a city of alternative thinking!! Or has that title gone to Brighton?

 

Thanks FSG!!

 

I can live with that

 

Given before you kissed Manchester's arse.

 

I do not know if you are Manchester based but there was an energy in Manchester around 1989/90 that emanated from the Hacienda and then eventually spread across the UK - Britpop and the Rave scene.

 

There was an energy in Liverpool in the 60's, 70's and 80's that eminated from the Cavern and Eric's and spread across the WORLD.

 

No! The North West, yes! Love that part of the UK for many reasons and in some ways far surpasses London. Your cities just happen to be the focus for the energy for music, art, literature, education, innovation. I know you do not like each other but as an outsider, you guys have two great cities that deserve to be at the centre of things and not at the end of the universe if Brexit goes ahead.

 

True! The North West as a whole had often been the driving force for change. I am an outsider but see beauty in both the major cities and in the wider area.

 

New York's waterfront is based on the Three Graces at the Pier Head with regard to the style of building.

 

I will leave you with a link to Mark Knopfler's Why Aye Man as this summarises our need to fight Brexit Great music, very meaningful lyrics. I expect you may know many who followed this route.
