Quite right, Bernard, as I once overheard young Albert say whilst buying a lager from the drinks hut: "All that I know surely about morality and the obligations of man, I owe to football."

I don't suppose there's been that many existentialist footballers.Although what about Eric Cantona. When he was going on about those seagulls.

Our CEO seems to have a few existentialist traits judging by his latest pronouncement on the January transfer window: "It’s an interesting question as who decides if the price is right, who decides whether to sell and who sorts out the deal? Is it the major shareholder, the managing director, the manager, the chairman or the chief executive?"

Now that's the sort of philosophical conumdrum that's confound Satre himself!

?? I can't even read that properly, never mind pronounce an upside down R ??

Gentlemen, thank you all so much for your contributions to this rather tounge in cheek thread. Your meanderings have had me in stitches, for once it has been a pleasure to see a thread hijacked.

Now where did I put my scotch?

So after weeks of indisposition, I decide to visit our Forum, and what do I find ?...an araldite (well we all stick together through thick and thin ...don't we ?)..I repeat, an araldite discussion surrounding that seldom heard of malady ' Vulvular Friction', for which the only known cure is a good rubbing in of Zam-Buk ! and a slackening of the Gusset !...and as it is now 11:40 pm on Christmas Eve I wish everyone the sincerest of good wishes for the Festive season !!...
( Alfred.E has just poured me another Absolut and Tonic...so Cheers from us both !!)

I've just watched the Muppets Christmas Carol, I think that should sum it up

[Wynonie Harris]

..or perhaps "Waiting For Godot".

Waiting for Godot is an absurdist play by Samuel Beckett, in which two characters, Vladimir and Estragon, wait for someone named Godot.

Our version would have all Stanley fans as Vladimir and Estragon...as for the role of Godot...need I say more?

"Absurdist" certainly sums it all up, though!
