Hows your french err technique..
|
|
The PL chiefs have decreed a minutes silence, and oh, the french national anthem gets played at all matches this week-end.
Listen, Im as alongside my french brothers and sisters as the next man, but WHAT THE FUCK HAS IT GOT TO DO WITH A GAME OF FOOTBALL IN ENGLAND!?!!
Fuck off. Really. FUCK OFF with this constant "something has gone wrong somwhere so lets stop what we're doing bullshit"
and breathe,.

They have indeed. This particular 'gesture' includes the bonus dimension of the cynical appropriation of this bollocks to help peddle brand BPL.
I see it as another manifestation of the pervading desire to 'be somebody'. These people think that they are somehow part of this global news story if they play their part. With a nice side order of 'Im such a caring person' thrown in for free.

Kronic, Neil and bruuno sum it up.
Is this nation's total collapse in backbone and perspective driven by candle manufacturers?

I think the singing of La Marseillaise at Wembley was a very good idea.
It was the battle hymn of revolutionary and Napoleonic France, a period famous for its bitter enmity between our two countries (with a brief respite in 1802 after the Treaty of Amiens, when adulation of Napoleon became fashionable in London circles - but not for long).
Every other country in Europe (and even the US) was Napoleon's ally at some point - only Britain stood out as his permanent, implacable enemy. He absolutely hated England.
Singing the French national anthem at Wembley therefore had special symbolism and if it served to give some heart to the French people at a time of great shock then I am all for it.
And it's far better than the stupidity of people who 'take to social media' to express their idiotic and childish sentiments without engaging their brains.

Political correctness is an American import. As is crying over everything. But yes, the UK became a nation of Scouse cunts after Dead Di and has been wanking off on grief ever since.
RIP stiff upper lip.

I'm not sure we imported it from the USA. We managed that whole fucking Diana thing all by ourselves. I honestly think that kicked it off.

This is predictable Corporate Britain which continuously capitalises on pretentious grief, just as it latches on to political correctness and thought policing.
It's just another cunt American import.

Well OTT to have this imposed on all premier league games a week later, when you could argue the poignancy of last week's horror has diminished slightly (maybe to us anyway).
Unfortunately any set of fans not seen respecting it will be crucified by the media, especially us as we're playing at Spurs which is a game with history of certain unpleasant behaviour and songs and we will be live on TV.
I hope we don't do anything to make ourselves look bad tomorrow, the media fucking hate us already.

Whatever way you look at it this is embarrassing, pointless and too fucking late in the day. Typical of the clueless mug cunts at the FA. Ridiculous.

Er, fans are not being asked to sing to the French anthem. The PL want them to respectfully listen to it.
And three dicks reckons it's the Corbyn types that are causing this when in fact as someone has pointed out it is more a cynical ploy by the PL to bolster its income stream from abroad.
To do this is very much over egging the pudding.

And how do the French, a very proud nation, feel about this? The last thing I would want is for the French to start singing Jerusalem.

I would hope the West Ham fans would sing a more appropriate tribute to the French instead.....
The 'We've got Payet' song

And why don't the people who have this nonsense imposed on them (us, the spectators) have a say.
We do. We don't have to play the 'you will sing the French National Anthem when we tell you to sing the French National Anthem' game.

This is the most cynical of marketing ploys from the Premier league. The way they see it is that it will put their 'brand' in an even better light. You know, what marketing would call a 'halo effect'.
It's rather nauseating, and the PL have not thought it through. Just who comes up with these ideas and how do they decide when minutes silences etc are appropriate.
And why don't the people who have this nonsense imposed on them (us, the spectators) have a say.

This is so typical of fucking post-96 football now...
The CORBYNITES have fucking ruined society, including football, with their sickly, over-sympathetic, flower power, arsewiping ways...
The events in Paris were a tragedy - fucking terrible - but this remembrance stuff is going way too far... It's almost cringey, in fact...
The odd thing is that if such a tragedy had've happened in the UK; the mindfuck, odball, disgusting CORBYNITES would try to put a block on fans singing our own national anthem (in case it offends the ethnic minorities) - but we're supposed to sing the French one?!?!...
I fucking hate the CORBYNITES...
