Something So Awesome It Deserves It's Own Post

Ian Holloway has HIS OWN WEEKLY COLUMN.

It's just what you'd expect ¬_¬

Although I now have a rather large bone to pick with him, because after countless years of living in Bristol, he calls Plymouth "the most beautiful place in the world" because "it's on the water". Hello, Bristol Channel? And where the fuck have you been in Plymouth if you're calling it beautiful? Aesthetically, it's second to Birmingham as Englands Shittest City (although I haven't been north of Brum yet, I'll be honest). Bristol owns the pants off Plymouth

But that's way off topic.

It makes up for that shitty Kevin Nolan column. "We go on a bus then we eat a meal then we train then we play..."

Just shows how little of the Birmingham area you've seen, really.

Well, Birmingham is well known for being a concrete jungle, so aesthetically he probably has a point, though having been to Birmingham, I quite like the place.

[Summers]

The City Center, obviously, is quite the concrete jungle. But.. so are most cities. My point is, venturing to the outskirts is a nice trip.

[Liam]

Yeah, I don't really know why Birmingham has the stronger reputation than a lot of the bigger cities.

I can't remember what part or Brum I went to, it was near the Uni though.

[Guest muddatrucker]

Everywhere has its shit parts, it just so happens that the bigger cities have bigger shit parts. But yes, Plymouth is a fucking hell hole.

[Dan]

Plymouth always sounds nice, never been though, rarely venture south.

[Guest muddatrucker]

Well its just outside Cornwall and inside Devon, which are two fairly picturesque countys, its the biggest city in Devon but its fucking disgusting, it has some nice parts but for the most part its a crap heap - has some really dodgy areas too.

Fuck you

As long as you stay the fuck away from St Paul's and Hartcliffe. And don't drive a car, or expect to park it, or get anywhere within Bristol promptly in it ¬_¬.

Bristol has better nightlife, more AND better bridges ¬_¬, it's generally "prettier" and less full of shit, you can actually go there without breathing apparatus to mask the smell... As for Plymouth's city centre being decent... er... sure. If you're a middle aged mother of six (which you will be if you live in Plymouth. That's not including all the kids you had to eat when you ran out of pot noodles) and need cheap clothes for the kids. Or need a computer game (how many GAME's and Gamestations does one shithole need ffs?)

And the greatest advantage Bristol has over Plymouth?

They didn't build THIS in Bristol:

(Yes, that last one really is the "finished" building)

Anyway, this thread is getting way off topic now... Which is quite apt really, given what the topic actually is

Lol, actuaslly, now you mention it, last time I was in Plymouth I remember thinking "Shit, either the architect was drunk or they need some qualified builders down here."

I mean, shit, who designs a building to look like it's falling over?

Though, in Plymouth's defence, they built this in Brizzle:

Now that is just unforgivable

You have truely redeemed yourself, sir. ¬_¬ I salute thee.

[Chasing Lamely]

It's fucking horrible, though, isn't it? I mean, the team are shit and their fans are cunts, but jesus... make an effort.

Ironic that it holds 20,000+ fans though. Espescially when they only get a crowd of 4 every week. All related. And not just by marriage.

Althogether now:

"Your Uncle is your brother,

Your sister is your mother,

You like to fuck each other,

the City family..."

[Farmer Reil]

Much better ground ¬_¬

[Chasing Lamely]

Wow... that must be from just before kick off, right?
