BAH-HOOM

Pleasant surprise of a Wednesday morning

I. AM. LIVID.

BigDan83 - 28 September 2011 09:00 AM

I. AM. LIVID.

Have come in here to specifically mention this…

Big thanks to the mention or the ‘Deck The Halls’ punfest, but it was very much a joint effort (he even started the whole thing too) with Ramble forum demigod BigDan. It was a Lennon-McCartney effort between the two.

Correction - United v Norwich is being televised…IN AUSTRALIA!

The record continues?

I had a rave to that commentary at the “end”. I say end, i mean before the beck talk lol

Sorry re: the puns thing chaps. I genuinely have no idea. I’ll put it right next week, I promise

Wait, Totti?

FUCK TOTTI.

Wait, Totti?

FUCK TOTTI.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, that was arguably a penalty. He was impeded by the sliding tackle.

And it was Grosso that was brought down/dived (depending on how you see it), not Totti.

I apologise for my irrationality.

Yes, all of that is true (except if you ask an Australian, in which case they’ll say he dived and to be honest it looked like he did), but simply I never liked Totti after that. Painful to watch after honestly dominating that game. My 13 year-old self at the time was swearing profusely at the screen while Totti ran off sucking his thumb before I legitimately cried myself to sleep at 2am.

Possible sour grapes, but my view of the man will always be clouded by that.

Bloody good show chaps

There is no need to apologise

I got the opening question ...BOOM

and I’am a FBI agent

Does it reflect badly on me that I got Going For Glold after the “Sex on a snooker table” clue?

On the one hand it’s the sort of thing you feel you ought to remember; on the other hand its gets conflated with so many other “events” that it gets hard to distinguish them apart.

I didn’t get it but it made me feel a bit queasy afterwards.

No, show’s knowledge. I vaguely remember the story cos a.) I supported the club he played for & b.) I can remember the Emmanuelle jokes…

Didn’t get it until same time as JorJ though…

I got it after “sex on a snooker table”. I remember reading it in a FourFourTwo. IIRC it wasn’t at an Arsenal training camp it was in a hotel. The next morning he was greeted by staff with applause.

TOTTI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Totti and I love the Football Ramble.

Ahhh

Apparently I suck at Twitter, so I dropped by to clarify that Portland Timbers have won 4 & drawn 1 (13 points from 15) at home since we started playing the Ramble theme tune over the PA (tannoy).

I’m a bit of a stickler for facts as I only enjoy the purest facts when I’m smoking my fact-pipe.

Fully appreaciate the Beck tribute at the end of the Ramble. Always nice to hear the boys exercise the vocal chords especially to such a favourite of mine. Wonderful stuff. Everything up till then was shit, mind.

The ending section is 100% hilarious.

Great episode Ramblers, slight correction though. Fabregas does not have the record streak from joining Barcelona. Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored in his 5 first games and shares the record with some Brazilian I can’t remember the name of.

I know Crouch is a lumbering sod, but he wasn’t climbing for the goal as I recall (unlike most of his other headers). I’ll happily stand corrected if anyone can link to a vid.

Beck-cellent show. Beck-cellent. Like ‘excellent’. Awesome. Genius.

FUCK TOTTI.

You will die by my own hands!

OK not really, jk. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinions. Just glad to see Il Capitano join the exclusive DWHOF.

Forza Giallorossi!!

You will not believe the amount of unfair fouls that given against him. Used to drive me nuts.

In other news i left my bloody ipod at home so still no ramble for me. I was planning to sit out in the sun at lunchtime and everything.

I don’t think he was either. In that video is shows he just ran past and put the header in.

Genuinely fist pumped on the bus when Totti was announced as that weeks profile. The profile did not disappoint

Note to Luke; Montella is Italian. Pronounce the double L /nitpick

If you say you weren’t singing along to all the Beck songs at the end of the Ramble, I call you a fucking liar.  Closest I’ve come to crashing my car out of laughter.

I, like Marcus, subscribe to the Barry Davies model of pronunciation; namely that every double L is pronounced ‘y’. So, Casiyas, Monteya and most importantly of all, Roger MIYA.

Barry Davies

And you’re all right about Crouch’s goal, he didn’t commit a foul. It was another header either just before or after that most notably saw him climbing all over the United defender. Apologies

Apologies, should have made clear this doesn’t apply to any British player

More of a Argentine pronounce it is a “zj” man myself.

I was under the impression ‘ll’ similar to a ‘j’ sound in Spanish (that might be a soft j[/anchorman]).  According to my (spanish speaking) ex gf anyway.

I’ve always disliked Totti, and after the spitting incident he’s on my blacklist.

Kudos on the Due South reference though.

It is in Spanish speaking South America, but not in Spain itself

Ahhh that would make sense, what with her being from Mexico and all. 

I always fall back to how Zampa pronounces names.

I was speaking to a Mexican girl in Krakow, of all places, and she was telling me that a generic Spanish accent (especially with a soft, lisped ‘s’ that becomes more of an ‘eth’), was massively camp.  I can’t really tell to be honest but she was quite insistent.

What does “Going for glol” mean? Am I hearing it wrong?

Literally signed up just to ask this, annoys me everytime I hear it.
