I expect his mother slaps him furiously each time she sees him. I know I would.

Pathetic, and this

Better than usual.

It's a bit like dealing with IS- the less time you give to listening to NSC's gibbering chimp, it's starves him of the oxygen of perceived fame or notoriety.

Masochist : A person who is gratified by pain and degradation that is often self imposed.

Is that directed at HB&B for advertising his work, or us for reading it?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

You see, once I realise a thread is one of HB&B's self-promoting efforts, I simply don't bother to click on the link.

Part of me wants to, just to know if the article really is as terrible as almost everybody says it is. But then again, every time somebody does that, it registers as a "view", and from previous experience, he takes the viewing stats as some kind of indicator of the success/ brilliance of the article. I'm not willing to contribute to that, so I save myself the time.

Interesting bullet-point style of writing, with little linking between each. Not very engaging as a result, sadly.

Is HB&B actually an infinite number of monkeys, the bloke in charge has found something resembling (loosely) English and said "it's bollocks, but it nearly makes sense, let's publish it" ?
The alternative is too ridiculous.

No, just the one. Any number of monkeys would surely do better

There's only on thing for it.

The first person up to the plate has to take one for the team.
Click on the drivel.
Then copy and paste it over here.

Perhaps with a big ***WARNING SCROLL DOWN*** notice at the top.

That way those that want to self harm can, but HB&B doesn't get lay down and stroke his ....






...ego.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I've actually seen him respond to criticism before with "[x number] of views says otherwise".

Hence I won't click on it, as he'd think that was another approving fan. I'll just never know how good or bad it actually is.

It's like watching an episode of You've Been Framed and all the videos are of drunk old women falling over whilst dancing.

Oh god, really? Without even the occasional titter-inducing pleasure of a tubby ginger cat falling off a hammock into a pond, say?

That MUST be bad.

 

[Gary Leeds]

shit post on a shit site, went to look at a few other articles to give them some views as well and nearly every one of them gives a "502 gateway error" or blank page which I found infinitely more interesting than the crap I first saw.

and go on, I will take one for the team and face the wrath of the B&H News legal team, but as their site seems very unstable at the moment I feel that this needs to be posted here so everyone can see it incase their server goes down under the weight of all the page view (or someone sitting there hitting F5 to refresh the page to get the page views up)

Brighton & Hove Albion: How long will Bloom believe the hype?
Posted On 05 Oct 2014Comments: 2Tag:
By Tim Hodges

As Brighton and Hove Albion sit precariously above the Championship relegation zone, the Amex faithful can take some comfort that it is still only early October.

However, back in October 2009 a manager in whom Tony Bloom had showed similar faith was struggling to get the Seagulls to the expected lofty heights of the League 1 table.

Russell Slade had saved the Albion from relegation to League 2 at the end of the 2008-09 season from an almost impossible position.

Slade was in fact the last Albion manager employed by Dick Knight before he handed over to Bloom.

During the summer of 2009 Bloom awarded Slade a three-year contract and a sizeable transfer kitty.

Sadly, however, some of Slade’s signings and his tactical approach let him down. A 7-1 thrashing by Huddersfield and player indiscipline left the Seagulls far from their play-off place aspirations.

Bloom, aware even then of the vital importance of the club kicking off at Falmer in at least the Championship, sacked Slade and his assistants Bob Booker and Dean White at the end of October.

The question now is will the chairman’s trigger finger get itchy during leaf-fall season this year?

Realistically, Russell Slade is the only Albion manager sacked by Bloom based on performance.

No one really knows why Gus Poyet went but finishing fourth in the Championship is hardly likely to have been a factor.

And we are led to believe that Oscar Garcia resigned after guiding the Albion to sixth last season.

Therefore, no one is really aware of Bloom’s threshold on this matter unless you look at Slade’s demise.

The X Men

The Albion have now drawn four league games in a row, scoring twice in this period, with both goals coming from defenders.

No recognised front man has scored a league goal since Craig Mackail-Smith at the end of August.

The significance of Lewis Dunk’s four goals so far this season show that Albion need a big target man up alongside Mackail-Smith or Sam Bacldock.

The Seagulls have tough remaining games in October – first at home to high flying Middlesbrough and then, after a visit to Huddersfield, at home to an improving Rotherham side.

In fact Rotherham could be Sami Hyypia’s Hartlepool.

It was after a 3-3 draw in late October against the Monkey hangers that Slade was shown the door.

Bloom will know only too well that League 1, with possible average home attendances of below 10,000, is not the place to be.

I can almost hear the Lewes Lib Dems saying: “We told you so.”

No such pleasures to be found, I'm afraid. No cats, no toddlers getting twatted in the face with a ball, no skateboarders getting one in the plums whilst trying to grind a rail.

Just pure, unadulterated drunk grannies.

It's not up to the GOLD standard of his legendary series of interviews with Gus (If you missed these just imagine an alternative Frost/Nixon; one where Nixon has a resigned Cowellesque ennui, whilst Frost defacates into his own hand and struggles to get the top off his biro.)

And it doesn't hold a candle to the poetry.

However there are some unmistakeable HB&B tropes in there that us superfans will always want more of; rambling themes, incoherent clauses and bizarre punctuation.

MORE PLEASE.

I'm struggling to see how "the significance of Lewis Dunk's four goals shows the need for a big target man".

No, no it doesn't. Dunk's goals have all been standard, centre half efforts from set pieces, haven't they? The sort of goal decent centre halves SHOULD be chipping in with on a fairly regular basis.

I fail to see how that points to the need for a big striker (there may well BE such a need, but Dunk's goals in no way indicate that). Bizarre conclusion to draw.

Tremendous read. Keep it coming. Makes me feel intelligent and articulate. Excellent.
