Argus blogger asks: "Does Brighton Really Need A Football Club?"

[albionalbino]

Terrible Argus blog ... and not HBB's [Archive] - North Stand Chat

Been here before.

 

[Simster]

Ah, wum.

Editor's note: Quentin Delahunty is a fictional creation.

This!

Where's Easy 10 been lately? I think we have found his new haunt.

I found it amusing and think you may have missed the joke Richie. Not laugh out loud, but a bit of a guffaw.

Surely a guffaw is laughing out loud?
Anyhow, I think this whole thing has the whiff of Croydon about it.

On what level is it either well-written or humourous ? Comes across as someone trying to be all intellectual using foreign words an' all, as though it's really clever (c'est non ?). But, as a mere burberry wearing football fan, I presume I wasn't able to understand it.

It's a satire. A satire.

A piss-take, a joke, a sideswipe on the perception of Brighton being full of luvvies, Bohemian arty types, DfLs-cum-self-appointed social commentators who believe they're the first to have discovered Utopia by the Sea - along with a variety of other assorted wankers, dahling.

Brilliant! Maybe not an evening one, but what happened to the weekly Brighton & Hove Gazette that I used to read in the early 1970s?

 

[Buzzer]

I think I know who Quentin is.

De La Cunty is a ledge - a long running Argus blog and joke, written by an Argus hack.

I still expect many to take the bait and get indignant about it all.

I still expect many to take the bait and get properly self-indignant about it all.

I fell for it. Now I like it.

Nah. This one is funny.

"the Seagulls (an erroneous moniker as there is technically no such bird as a seagull)"

I stopped reading here, maybe someone should mention the red devils to him?

 

[Josimojo]

Ok so I carried on reading!

"Despite the authorities doing their best (apparently) to “Kick It Out”, the average football fan still hides his racism under a Burberry baseball cap, his sexism in the back pocket of his ill-fitting jeans and his rampant homophobia under the five inches of flab around his midriff. So, is this sport of “isms” really relevant in our liberal idyll?"

Isn't he doing some stereotyping of his own here??

That's the whole point of his blog.

I liked it.
How anyone could think it was serious amazes me, am glad they did though - their furious responses are just as entertaining.

It is clearly a wind-up!! And relax.

Well-written and humorous link-bait.

Read it, laugh and move on.
