Hmmm, maybe it won't be the best example but i'll try.

Lets say Arsenal are always second to Manchester, or at least always do worst than Manchester.
There is rivalry but most of the time ManU fans don't give a damn about Arsenal while Arsenal fans hate ManU with passion.

Then all of a sudden, Arsenal wins the EPL while Manchester have an old team.
Next year Arsenal start as favs but Manchester bought some kid who scored 2 goals in the opening round and brought them 3 pts.

Will the majority of Arsenal fans still hate Manchester and try to downplay the quality of that new guy in ManU? Even if Arsenal have the better team?

If i had two of the best strikers in the world, i wouldn't give a fuck about some young promising striker.

Racial Hierarchy?

Negroes are coming?

Maybe Italy can just give the US Fausto Rossi? I think all parties would accept that.

Negroes and Sand Niggers.

We do have that Ferrari kid, though.

Croatia, Czech Rep, others. He travelled the world for a year or so. He's Burke's cousin so Burke would know better than me.

He went to Italy and I asked him how it was. He said it was better than Amsterdam, but not as good as the "eastern countries".

It's a matter of personal taste. I like Eastern Europe too, but i would love to live in Italy some day.

It would be cool to travel around the world for such a long time. He must have had a great time in his journey.

As a Juventus supporter I may envy Barcelona... but should I envy them for Valdes if he pull a couple of world class saves?

Hell NO.

 

[Martin]

Well it seems to be working, as i always trigger those little tantrums out of him.

I think what bothers people most is that given the tone he talks to people in, Seven also always says he's right. People hate being wrong most when they're being told by someone condescending. But to the utter agony of these people, he is actually right almost all of the time.

But the majority of Arsenal fans? Don't you think they will?

Inter are the best in Italy but their fans still didn't like it when we bought Diego. They strongly hated Juve before Calciopoli. It was traumatic for them never to win anything and always to be beaten by Juve.
Now they are better than Juve but they still fear that the day will come when we'll become better than them again (actually, they know the day will come ).

If they had their newspaper and if there is some controversy regarding Diego, i'm sure they'll be the first ones to make a drama out of it.

Change Inter, Juve, Diego and Inter's newspaper with with Spain, Italy, Rossi and AS and you'll get what Seven has been trying to tell you.

Hubris at its best. Because he agrees with you most of the time then he's right?

When it comes to football, he really doesn't have a clue.

Fred is right here, the discussion about Xavi and Zanetti was just out of this world.

I don't follow the football debates much, so I wouldn't know. He is right most of the time on other topics when I'm following the conversation though.

 

[Fred]

Yet Martin sees nothing wrong with Seven's views on Xavi.
If it were BD half the forum would be raging. Seven however gets a free pass.

That's just because you follow the religion conversations mostly and you happen to agree with him there. Doesn't make neither you or him right. Surprising how confident you are of being right, almost bordering arrogance if you ask me.

I didn't say he was right on Xavi, I'm talking about non football topics.

Sand Niggers? They always bite my feet when I go to the beach.

Sure I'm confident, why shouldn't I be? Confidence is usually obtained by formulating a hypothesis and seeing it confirmed consistently. Either that or learning something new that explains some situation that you didn't understand before. Suddenly it all makes sense.

Should I not be confident just to make people feel better about themselves? Are you saying you're not confident in your opinions? If you lack conviction, why am I to blame for that?

In the case of the religious topics I'm confident about things I've never had any confidence about for the best part of my life. I've finally figured it out, you might say. So yes I'm confident.

Doesn't he play for Samp?

I remember him playing in some U-20 tourney and doing pretty well.

It's a matter of personal taste. I like Eastern Europe too, but i would love to live in Italy some day.

I'd love to travel the world. I'm so tempted to give up my Resource Management degree, take a Liberal Arts instead, and join the Peace Corps.

Sure does.

He's Italien.

He's Italien.

I think we played him in the Copa America last year.

Sure does.

He's Italien.

He's American. This is what he said when asked if he wanted to join Rossi.

"I'm American. I'm born American, grew up in the US and that is the country I would like to play for if I get the chance."
