It’s just a privilege to know that there are people* like you out there, diddling at en elite level behind the scenes.

*men

yewtree forced us get smarter. gone are the days you’d could just claim you worked for the bbc to get a hero’s welcome at an after-school club.
 
I am quite slow, so can someone make this make sense.
He's saying he'd love to play with Thiago as he's got great football intelligence, and he'd play well with him as he makes good runs that Thiago would spot. He'd pay money to watch him.

( I think )
 
That's his real name? Windass? I do not know what's worse, the fact that he's named that or the fact he's gone through entire life not changing it.

Imagine your kid growing up having both wind and ass in his surname... No hell no..

Put an 'l' in there and at least make it nautical-sounding.

That analogy about the Press made sense though. Everyone involved in reporting on the game refused to admit what it meant and went on like he was talking bollox.

I'm sure Cantona himself confirmed it didn't mean anything at the time. I think that's why it went down as art - the meaning wasn't intended but it sure was there.

Seriously? It's blatantly a dig at the journalists. The fact that he didn't want to explain himself explicitly doesn't mean it didn't mean anything or that he didn't mean it.

The fact that he wrote it down beforehand and asked for the English words trawler and seagulls lends weight to that.

Yeah yeah I believe it meant something but he's said on a few occasions it wasn't supposed to analysed like that

He claims it just came out but one of the directors said he wrote it down in advance so he didn't come up with it off the top of his head.

It means nothing in the sense that he didn't say anything of note. He 'put a mirror up to the journalists' by describing them as seagulls looking for scraps, when everyone expected a grand statement of contrition or whatever, because it's football and he believes what's said at press conferences is inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. He also admits to having a bit of a laugh at their expense.

There's nothing to be analysed and there's nothing philosophical about it because there's no great mystery - the meaning is clear and not really profound in any way.
