What the pundits & media are saying about us

[Bobbins]

This is a phrase that should not be used by anyone, especially THFC fans. I'm sure no offence was meant, but it can be taken out of context.

Ha, what?

It means they ran out of steam, got tired, worked too hard in the early stages.

It has absolutely nothing to do with anything else at all.

Just so you know, Aussies call petrol 'petrol'.
And I too am old but understood what was meant and it was totally inoffensive.

Not where I lived for 6 months they didn't but you get the point.

Groot needs to shift the timber.

Seriously? Where was that?
I'm from Sydney which is obviously the biggest place in Oz and petrol is purchased at a petrol station. Always.

Not annoying enough to not watch?

Turned it over. Too excruciating

I don’t think Murdoch has owned Sky since around 2018.

Thanks Tim. How did I miss that sale. Happy to be corrected ??

 

[Nice One Cyril]

youve got this one wrong

Listen to what everyone else is saying.

No one - literally no one in this discussion is looking to disrespect those who died in the holocaust.

You’re the only one trying to make the link between the two.

Take it easy

During the holocaust, Jews (and others) were not all gassed... Some were shot... some hanged... some beaten to death... some buried alive. We should not stop using words or phrases because they 'could' relate to the holocaust. Words didn't kill 6 million souls... People did.

Port Macquarie... everyone used to say they are going to get gas. I cant remember what the stations were called because I didnt have a car I was there as an overseas cricket player. The same in South Africa and my South African friend who plays for my club here also says gas.

Diesel.

mind blown boom

This is a ridiculous take. It’s a common phrase ffs.

Port Macquarie NSW, OK fair enough.
Never been there and don't know anyone from there. Heard it's nice though.
The closest I can do is just north of Newcastle and then Brisbane. I have cousins there.
I will ask.
BTW, Kudos for being an overseas cricket player.

In fairness, it’s hard to know what she really sounds like while she‘s got three quarters of her tongue stuck up Guardiola’s arsehole.

You mean Klopp?

I'm shocked that there are South Africans who call it gas. Over here we only know it as an American term. Gas over here is the stuff you use to light a stove or you pass it when, hopefully, you're alone.

It's petrol all the way.

I live in Suffolk and we call petrol ‘fucking extortionate’.

She's hot as fuck. Just turn the sound off and appreciate the eye candy.

You know when you look at someone and know they're thick as shit without listening to them, That's Agbonlahor.

Carlton Cole beats him - sorry but Carlton Cole is number one in that ranking. Merson is up there but he is no where near those two biut Carlton up there...

I love Melissa Reddy so whilst it would pain me seeing her do it to another man - id pay to see that like on one of the speciality websites

 

[Tucker]

You mean Klopp?

No, I mean Guardiola. The bit I was watching was her interviewing him and fawning over him. It was sycophancy of the highest order.

As a Jew, I am actually more offended by this comment. It is culturally illiterate. Not all expressions, idioms, colloquialisms are British. There are people from all over the world on SC. The poster was simply saying that the Villa players ran out of gas, after going full throttle in the first half. Being ‘gassed’ is a US colloquialism. Meaning that someone is out of energy. Perhaps it was phrased in a way that allowed for a lack of understanding. But at least ask first before going straight for the ‘shame’ button.

 

[dontcallme]

A discussion on the common phrase "to run out of gas" being connected to the holocaust was not the conversation I was expecting in this thread.

Got to love SC.

 

[mightyspur]

No. You go visit the war memorial at Dachau, then tell me it has no link. Age has nothing to do with it. Show some respect.

Doubling down. I like it.
