The Sun gives you the news you just can’t get anywhere else:
ONE in 20 British schoolkids thinks war-mongering dictator Adolf Hitler was a German football coach, a shock survey has revealed.
It’s not that shocking. Most football coaches are genocidal dictators bent on world domination and fascism.
Frankly, if you asked me to choose between having a pint with Hitler or Sam Allardyce I’d go with the Nazi who at least doesn’t look as if he suffers from body odour problems. That said, Hitler never shuts up about his favoured formation, 4-4-Jew.

Funnily enough no comments allowed on that JOhn Waters article

but Hitler never managed Limerick..

Also a very good point.

Hitler only had one ball – which he took home with him after Rommel disallowed a goal in a Berchtesgarten kickabout because “I wasn’t ready”.

He got a yellow card for that blatantly incendiary celebration against Poland in ’39…
USa brought on as sub in ,42
Went on to get a 2nd yellow and got sent off in 45..

That being said, Allardyce does have that rabid look of a man who might blow his brains out in the bunker if his side loses.

You’re a History Channel viewer..

Heh..

I can imagine how they structured the survey to get the result they wanted…
Was Hitler:
A. a Football Manager?
B: an Evil mass murderer?
C: a Celebrity Chef?

You can’t fault his attack-mined tactics.

The survey was taken with children aged 9-15, it’s hardly surprising that 5% of 9 year olds didn’t know who hitler was? and 10% didn’t know what SS stands for…

The Irish Times online polls look like they’re fixed. The percentages don’t change at all. I think they totally fix them themselves. Very iffy.
Used to like it as a newspaper. It’s gone to shit though. Full of soft skinned organic journos writing about their jaunts around Dalkey on their funky bike with kiddy trailer with floppy haired kiddies named Caoimha and Sebastian.
Cunts.

I’d just like point something out, because I know you all noticed it. Due to the slender vowel rule in the Irish language, the name ‘Caoimha’ I mentioned above should in fact have an ‘e’ at the end not an ‘a’. Sorry about that. Won’t happen again.

John Waters and Kevin Myers walked into a bar.
Everybody left.

What’s the latest on Dev being a traitor????
November 7th, 2009 @ 3:22 am
wasn’t dev secretly dealing with hitler?
November 7th, 2009 @ 8:45 am
Dev played outside right for Hitler XI
November 7th, 2009 @ 2:48 pm
Came as a bit of a surprise to me that Dev was on the side of the angels, Denis Donaldson MkI
November 7th, 2009 @ 3:08 pm
Adolf who?
November 7th, 2009 @ 4:55 pm
Its not widely known that Hitler had a half-nephew called Aurthur….
And with Dev playing both sides of the field….
And the Brit Aristocracy and particularly the MI5 spymasters thinking Adolph was the messiah…
And would have known about Dev and his dastardly sell-out…
Interesting that so many Irish were cannon fodder and that the Yanks were not able to be billeted in Ireland because we were ‘neutral’….
‘Cos if they had been billeted here, we would now be a totally united country WITH the nuke bases Truman so desperately wanted to control the Atlantic with….
Makes one think….
What price Dan Browne now, eh???
November 7th, 2009 @ 7:09 pm
Poor auld Dev, he could have chosen to run out the tunnel for so many nations: Ireland, USA, France, Cuba, Mexico, Germany among others. If only he was a tad more forthcoming about his lineage.
His football career was also cut short by constant injury/illness, it was somthing to do with his pathetic constitution.
November 7th, 2009 @ 7:55 pm
Dev should have been sent off for that foul on Collins, I think it was an English refree that day?
November 7th, 2009 @ 8:51 pm
Dev … cunt.
November 7th, 2009 @ 9:35 pm

On the front page of yesterday’s Times there is a picture of two Garda outside Dawson jewelers, one has a hand missing and he’s counting the fingers on the other one, tough men in a tough situation, in a tough Dublin.
