SISU and the Oscars (2 Viewers)

[RPHunt]

I noticed earlier this evening that Cardiff had received £62m for just being in the Premier League this last season and, while an ambitious owner of a football club might look at that figure and dream, CCFC fans are stuck with SISU and their obsession with the pie money.

It reminded me of a line by Oscar Wilde: “We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars”.

Actually, it reminded me of two of his lines, the other is “Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go”. This could almost be the subheading for SISU OUT.

Well if we are doing quotes this one could be relevant to trying to bail the club out for a second time...

One of the greatest evils is the foolishness of a good man. For the giving man to withhold helping someone in order to first assure personal fortification is not selfish, but to elude needless self-destruction; martyrdom is only practical when the thought is to die, else a good man faces the consequence of digging a hole from which he cannot escape, and truly helps no one in the long run.

I like the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy quote:
"It came to pass that nobody in the Universe was poor. Well, nobody who mattered"

Or how about Woody Allen: "The lion will lie down with the lamb, but the lamb won't get much sleep"

The quote for me mouthed by most City fans... Fcuk Off SISU.

'My own father, a handsome and generous man. He owned a valuable piece of land.
True, it was a small piece of land, but he carried it with him wherever he went. Some day, he hoped to build on it.

He was an idiot.'

I prefer her other famous quote.

If we are doing quotes:

On the site for a new stadium, which Mr Fisher hopes would be built within three years, he said: “We’re down to two or three sites in the immediate Coventry area, and we’re going into the final furlong of site negotiations.
“It is likely that in two or three weeks, we could be selected as the preferred buyer for one of those sites.
“We’re trying to get a site which meets all the requirements, not just around the first team, but academy too.”

"A foole and his money be soone at debate: which after with sorow repents him too late." T. Tusser 1573 in the "Five Hundred Points ........ would seem to apply to many in football

In more modern language "a fool and his money are soon parted"

When I read some of the posts on this forum from certain persons I think of Marvin the Paranoid Android (Hitch Hikers Guide to The Galaxy) saying "I get a headache just thinking down to your level".
