hes neither brilliant nor stupid, tho his affects play up the latter

probably not unlike aragonés, tho more politic

The yokel "simpleton" who outsmarts the supposedly sophisticated townies/princes etc is like fairystory 101: in fact it's probably in Aesop also.

ya but there is the countervailing and more specific archetype of the cockney with the commercial sense and cunning and various other things that seem vaguely like deracinated jewish stereotypes

tony pulis seems the most convincing embodiment of yokel triumph in english fitba today

yes, yokel's a bit of a red herring: just meant that "simpleton not so simple" is like an archetypal folk fable

Holloway has the accent but not the triumph

Pulis has never seemed especially simple even in the world of football management.

pulis seems the kind of decent, competent, 'gets the job done' fella that would balaclava up and hosepipe you to death under cover of darkness over a farm border dispute or something

Andy Roxburgh and his slide rule UEFA coaching badge hyper cautious approach

this reminds me of a question i've had for, um, most of my life - wtf exactly is a slide rule pass?

― Merdeyeux, Friday, 10 February 2012 20:33 (fourteen years ago)

a very precise one.

― mizzell, Friday, 10 February 2012 20:33 (fourteen years ago)

along the ground to an angled run imo

― Dr Frogbius (darraghmac), Friday, 10 February 2012 20:35 (fourteen years ago)

see i thought that but then i often hear commentators using it for any pass along the ground, which iirc is better known as a 'pass'. dunno why i gave any credence to commentators.

― Merdeyeux, Friday, 10 February 2012 20:38 (fourteen years ago)

these are the ones where the precision of the pass is most evident, imo. plus, if it exclusively describes angles, it should be called a protractor pass.

― mizzell, Friday, 10 February 2012 20:48 (fourteen years ago)

not if the target is moving imo

― Dr Frogbius (darraghmac), Friday, 10 February 2012 20:51 (fourteen years ago)

It's not about the angles. It just means a really accurate through ball

― Number None, Friday, 10 February 2012 20:51 (fourteen years ago)

must also be dead straight obv

― Dr Frogbius (darraghmac), Friday, 10 February 2012 20:52 (fourteen years ago)

why? slide rule /= ruler

― mizzell, Friday, 10 February 2012 21:00 (fourteen years ago)

it's still straight though

― Number None, Friday, 10 February 2012 21:02 (fourteen years ago)

there are circular slide rules

― mizzell, Friday, 10 February 2012 21:05 (fourteen years ago)

Fair enough. They're not the 'classic' type though

I'm West Brom or QPR depending on whether or not I want a rich owner. I think I'll go with the Albion. I will attempt to give a shit about them for a wee while.

― once a weak eye sample (onimo), Saturday, 11 February 2012 11:44 (fourteen years ago)

Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Spearing, Henderson, Gerrard, Downing, Kuyt, Suarez

pleased about the lack of Bellamy, and Carroll oddly.

― Number None, Saturday, 11 February 2012 11:45 (fourteen years ago)

kuyt merits a place imo. spearing always a worry, he has a problem in that he's fucking shit.

Carroll kind of looks like he's going to cry

― Number None, Saturday, 11 February 2012 12:23 (fourteen years ago)

our shit midfield versus your shit defence

― pandemic, Saturday, 11 February 2012 12:23 (fourteen years ago)

wait giggs is gonna be on the wing? Did he play wide vs Arsenal or is he usually CM these days?

― pandemic, Saturday, 11 February 2012 12:24 (fourteen years ago)

Basically never plays on the wing any more. I'm surprised Park isn't in there tbh

― Number None, Saturday, 11 February 2012 12:26 (fourteen years ago)
