Full Version: Post of the Year 2010 Now Online
Millard will come in at 2nd place. All is right with the world.
Just saw the Tom Jones post by Butch.That gets my vote.
Yep. As soon as I saw how long it was, I knew it was one of those POTM try-hard posts.
How long what was? Butch's post or Tom Jones bulge?
I don't even care if he was trying for POTM it was fucking awesome that post.CW Saton's part deserves it's due aswell 'Not just now,boyo'.Tom Jones is a fucking God.
I bet even James Bond would be jealous of Tom Jones' fanny magnetness.

He's trying too hard, tbh. It's like his Maryse one, or his Sean Mooney one, but not as good.

I hope Robert Green does not drop the ball and make sure he represents Hollie to the best he can

The talk I heard today from Robert Green the legal representative for Hollie Greig and her mother Anne did not relate this to the missing Maddie.
A large sum of money has been paid to Hollie to try and keep it all quiet but justice has not been served here.
Hollie has named all members of the paedophole ring WHICH IS STILL ACTIVE, yet the police, the Lord Advocate (Scottish Attorney General), Scottish MPs etc have so far failed to take action, except to try to stop the story getting out.

Just a thought but could it be revealed that Danielson was the limo driver from Raw?
There's surely no question about who the driver was. It just all falls into place. A guy makes an unexpected return to TV, gets put into a main event angle, then all of a sudden disappears with a hokey explanation. Days later, there's need for a 'mystery' limo driver taking authority figures on a hellish joydride to get what they want. There's surely only one man it could be....
"Where to, Hitman?"
I liked it. Was refreshing stuff from all the Daniel Bryan talk.
Seconded The Undertaker post.

I reckon we'll probably sell Torres, Mascher, Gerrard and Yossi, then sign Milan Jovanovic and a solid experienced player like Pedro Mendes. Something like that I reckon. Oh, and if one of the African players dribbles really fast in one of the games at the World cup we'll get him too. Not Gervinho like, 'cos there'll be competition, but another one. Loan Glen Johnson to Tranmere, nab David Unsworth on a pay as you play to shore up the defense. Should be right back in contention with that little set. Feeling pretty positive about this summer now.
I'm going to shoot myself.

My favourite part is the bit about the cuddles.

Quality. Stick him in with that Russian geezer Fedora, Avoid his cuddles and drop him with a powerbomb or two, then go home to the pit of danger to rest for a while, maybe make a few calls to Dana and see if he'd be up for putting him over Lesnar, then go back to WWE or TNA taking some of the MMA fanbase back with him, sorted.
When's Goldberg going to UFC? That would be money!.
Edit. It would be all Cage matches aswell, Thats Batista's specialty.

People still defending him? LMAO. Is it because it cool to be anti media?
What does he have to do to make it his fault? You people need to wake up and smell the coffee. If we made him what he is which is ,lower than an animal then tough shit, im feed up of paying for his life if we cant kill him then lock him up and throw away the key.
People are now saying he shouldnt have been locked up at all? as it might spoil his childhood? Fucking laughable the fact is the guy is a fucking loon always was and clearly always will be. You can try and tell yourself he wasnt and we made him and all that other bullshit all you like.
Rick you say relaseing him would have been "terrify him" Maybe they should have
1. Taken him a railway track and beaten him to death after blinding him with paint.
2. Abused the fuck out him and took pictures.
See how scared the poor little mite is then. My only hope in all this is the poor parents dont get dragged into it again i think they have suffered more than anyone ever should.
With any luck the dad will do what he should have done a long time ago and track them down and butcher them, make no mistake about it someone did that to my boy i would have no problem killing them nice and slowly and as painfully as possible doubtful i would have cared how old they where or not.

It's missing probably one full stop and one comma, it's certainly not on the same level as killing a toddler for kicks.

Then you are a complete and utter mug to shell out almost £20 for afront row seat just makes you a mug a tenner is the most a front row seat should cost.
£10 is the most for a front row ticket anywhere? for anything? WWE? TNA? DG? I am glad you are not running a business eh? You have to price accordingly due to many factors, costs, projected attendance and value for money. When Alex decided tickets to Uprising would pinnicle at £50 everyone thought he was crazy (me included) I couldn't believe it, most companies over here wern't even using ticket bracketing let alone charging 5 times what ANYBODY else was. He explained to me that it is alot about perception and self worth, he was a smart man. Uprising £50 tickets sold out very quickly. One of Alex's main goals was to pay the BRITISH workers more towards what they were worth, he always had my respect for that.
but i'll tell you what, you are really starting to come across as the biggest hypocrite ever. It doesn't make him a mug. He is a fan who enjoys his wrestling. If he so chooses that after working hard all week he wants to spend HIS money on an evening entertainment which he pays X amount of money for the last thing that makes him is a mug. We need more people like this guy (his childish swearing online aisde) to attend shows, he goes to a wide range of shows with his family and ENJOYS it, like a fan should do, insted of some fool who sits there criticises wrestlers AND fans from his keyboard yet doesn't support the business he claims to love so much. Look in the mirror, you are everything you claim to dispise about wrestling.
As you seem to be a GPW die hard fan, I understand you enjoy their product, does it make you a mug for paying their ticket prices? If the price was £2 higher would you be a mug? No, you'd still pay it, because YOU personally enjoy, so take a hint, stop getting on people because they enjoy a product, have you even been to FWA?. A very healthy amount of fans (regardless of their origin) enjoy the FWA shows, it puts enough revenue to keep the company providing the high quality events on that they do.
I put forward this if I may, parts of that middle paragraph in particular.
Could be a contentious nomination, but:
I wish I had done that, and I haven't. This equals great to me. Plus, it makes the bird in Waterboy's post in the first dance thread even more of a fool (or the dirtier word he called her) for not latching on to one of life's clear winners. 5 stars.

Either make a topic about Michael Jackson or just make your cretinous Old Bag "Eeeh, doesn't time fly when you're full of yourself?" topic.

BOOM!
Day Eight
Winners
The viewers
As hoped, the second round of group matches has brought with them a palpable sense of excitement, with the Slovenia/USA match in particular arguably producing the best contest of the tournament thus far.
Algeria
Looking nothing like the team that were put to the sword by Ireland a few weeks ago, the Algerians played with ambition and conviction. Unfair critics will accuse them of packing ten behind the ball and suffocating England, but those critics will likely be bitter England fans. In truth, Algeria gave England a game and but for a decent striker things could have been even worse for Fabio Capello's men.
Serbia
Rode their luck and won ugly, tearing Group D wide open in the process.
Nemanja Vidic
Following his recent escape in the Carling Cup final and today's Superman impression to concede the penalty; does Vidic have some dirt on referees that keeps him from getting sent off?
Landon Donovan
Carried his team on his shoulders and deserves a better club than L.A. Galaxy. Let's hope he returns to the Premier League soon.
Losers
England
Ouch. Perhaps the most worrying (and unsurprising) thing about England's rotten brand of football is their inability to play together as a team. Make no mistake, this is a collection of selfish individuals determined to get their names on the scoresheet and photograph in the paper. By contrast, USA, who every English pundit will tell you are a far inferior team to England, rose above their perceived weaknesses in both their games so far, united as a team to overcome the obstacles that lay before them.
A great football team isn't necessarily eleven world class players, but eleven men who can operate together in sync and fight for one another. On the basis of their World Cup campaign thus far, England are drowning in a sea of ego, poor tactics and curious team selections. They go into their final game against Slovenia next Wednesday needing to win (or draw depending on how things fare for USA) and should they produce a performance similar to their first three hours of this World Cup, they will be watching the second round from the comfort of their hotel rooms.
Fabio Capello
Not the birthday surprise he would have wanted.
Wayne Rooney
Dismal and anonymous, the "white Pele" stormed off the field mouthing "It's nice to be booed by your own fans eh?" after the final whistle. While booing your own team is pretty ugly behaviour, the travelling fans will have spent an awful lot of money for the privilege of seeing their country woefully underperform and are perhaps entitled to vent their frustrations.
Alan Hansen
Made a big deal of sarcastically mocking the Slovenia/USA match before a ball was even kicked. Roy Hodgson dared to suggest it would be an entertaining game, cue Hansen and his childish bullshit. Of course, this being BBC, he wasn't the only pundit to behave like a cretin…
Gary Lineker
"Message to watching Americans; that's what makes football so special". Way to take the shine off a great match by being a patronising wanker Gary.
Germany
Quite a contrast to their total football demolition of Australia on Sunday, the Germans suffered their first defeat at the group stages in the World Cup finals since losing to Denmark in 1986. Harshly reduced to ten men in the first half, Sami Khedira saw a goalbound effort cannon back off the crossbar and Lukas Podolski conspired to miss a penalty, rounding off a performance mired in such bad luck that even Mick McCarthy was moved to say that he almost felt sorry for them.
Kazuki Ito
A name that strikes fear into the heart of Pro Evolution Soccer 6 fans everywhere. Innocuous halfway-line challenges punished by straight red cards were par for the course when Kazuki took to the virtual field. In real life however, his legend is looking like it may be eclipsed in South Africa.
Referee Alberto Undiano Mallenco dished out no less than nine yellow cards including one red for the unfortunate Miroslav Klose in a game that was rarely ill-tempered. The Spanish referee has something of a card-happy reputation, having doled out an impressive 11 red cards in 17 La Liga games that he took charge of last seasion. Such a stat makes it all the more mind-boggling that Nemanja Vidic stayed on the pitch following his blatant handball. Speaking of dodgy refereeing decisions…
Koman Coulibaly
The Malian official somehow disallowed what would have been a winning goal for the Americans. The offence? Apparently by allowing themselves to be manhandled by the Slovenian defence they committed a foul. Poor show. See what you think…
Miroslav Klose
Even harsher than the red card Tim Cahill suffered when he lined up against Klose on Sunday.
Lukas Podolski
Having scored in the first game, Podolski was in prime position to further silence his critics when he stepped up to take a routine spot kick. Naturally his weak effort was saved.
Drawers
USA
And so USA continue to write their World Cup story in the manner in which they started. A terrible start followed by an impressive fightback to level things in a game that they could have won. Landon Donovan's goal early in the second half was a stunning individual effort made all the more amusing by the sight of goalkeeper Samir Handanovic recoiling in terror as the ball rocketed towards his face.
Daddy's boy Michael Bradley sealed an impressive comeback and but for the efforts of the referee, the Americans would have been in a much more comfortable position come the final whistle. As it stands, they still have a chance to progress, but there could be some last minute melodrama. Fitting.
Slovenia
A case can be made for them to reside in the Winners column despite the draw, but the reality is that following an unlikely lead, Slovenia threw away a glorious opportunity to seal qualification into the next round. They very well may progress but it's now a much more difficult prospect than it could have been.

It could have been any of them really, as I've found them all to be engaging, considered, and well written.
I like that there's an interspersion of humour, without it coming to the detriment of an informative post. I like the snapshot style that Seven adopts for most of his points; he knows that less is often more.
I've found these posts particularly helpful and always stop to read them. They could quite easily be placed on a "professional's" site and not look out of place at all.
Great posts
I was gonna nominate his most recent one, but after re-reading, I'll go with the one above too.

Cheers man, I appreciate the feedback. I've been doing them for a mates' blog (hence the occasional accompanying of pictures when I copy and paste directly from the site) mostly for fun but also so I have something to write over the summer while I'm off uni. It can sometimes be a chore considering either 1: Lack of quality games (for instance Paraguay/Japan at the moment) or 2: having to write them while drunk after a night out, but overall it's been enjoyable. I am blatantly ripping off Football365's "Winners and Losers" section that they do for the Premier League but actually haven't done for the World Cup, sadly, but yeah they all be my opinions yo.

Used to trawl adultwork and punternet for the lolz. The two classics were the girl who offers sloppy seconds (where you pay extra to see her just after her boyfriend has made a mess all up in there) and the girl who sold pots of her shit, suggesting that you put it in the microwave and have a "NICE HOT SHITTY WANK XXX".
Marvelous.
Marvelous.

Cleetus Van Damme's post about the Lesnar/Carwin fight. I'd quote it but it's got spoilers. It's the one that end with "Dana out, Heyman in"
The post TripleA is talking about, and it has spoilers about last night's UFC.
UFC 116 Spoilers
Okay, you've been warned.
And I'm seconding it.

It's an old, shit joke. Like everything else he ever posts, he's just trying way too hard.

Was really suprised to have my cd turn up today, well, so I thought...
I admit I laughed, but no actual cd was disappointing. Who's the wise guy then?

I guess I can put this here. Obviously it's less so for the post, more so for the brilliance of the prank. Whoever is responsible should get the credit and take a bow.

Here he is on Des O'Connor wearing a killer suit. I taped this back in the day and must have watched it about 600 times.
