As Benjamin says in Animal Farm when Boxer is carted away in the van, supposedly heading for the doctors, "Fools, fools, fools! Can't you see what's written on the side of that van? They are taking Greece to the knackers!"
All it needed was one phone call through to Russian President Putin. "Hello, it is the Finance Minister of Greece here. Okay, when you've finished laughing, have you realised that now the Czech Republic have scored, Russia are heading out of the European Championship? Now I have a little proposition for you. Fifty five billion and we will let you equalise."
Hang on, I've just found out that they tried, but nobody in Greece could cobble together enough Euros to pay for the bloody phone call!

Pathetic! That's all I have to say. I wonder who is jealous now! There is one thing that you can't really understand; the Greek heart. That is what one needs to be a winner. Think about it all you want, but won't get it unless you have a heart yourself.
The trouble is mate, it's no good having a heart when the German bankers cut a pound of flesh off your chest! But hang on, you will probably have Germany in the next round! Revenge or rescue? Revenge or rescue? Revenge or...anybody got some Euros for a phone call to Angela?
Heart? It had nothing to do with heart mate. It was a keeper's error that gave you the goal. So applying your logic, there's no merit in the win anyway! ; }
For what's it's worth, I was cheering Greece on all night!
Keeper error?!!! Come on! What else could the keeper do? Don't be silly HF. That was a very well taken goal and the goalkeeper spread himself well to save the shot. Try all you want, nothing compares to the Swedish goalkeeper's howler against England.
I hope England gets through by the way because although you may find it hard to believe they are my second team after Greece. In a Greece v England final of course I would be with Greece.
Stop making jokes about how poor Greeks are right now. You know it is far more complex than that. The Euro was an accident waiting to happen. It was doomed from the start. If it was the fault of the Greeks only there would not be so many other countries in Europe having the same and pretty soon maybe worse symptoms than Greece. I think it would probably give Merkel a heart attack if tomorrow Tsepras is elected and a few days later Greece beats Germany in the Euro!
Come on, the keeper should have saved it. But you should have had a penalty too!
Surely the Greeks are cracking jokes themselves. When the ship is going down, you might as well have a laugh!
Any chance of another blog about Leeds please??
Leave off HF, they had a clear penalty and they hit the post.
I said they had a penalty Stani so why are you chipping in to make the same point? Trying to keep Sav on board for when Noble tears up the Prem next season perhaps?
Hahaaa, stop being a child HF. You know I'm too honest to operate like that! That's more your kind of thing.
Sav and I have disagreed on a number of occasions, such as Gabbidon, Allardyce...even Guti just recently. Thing is we can without resorting to degrading one another
Anony-mouse says,
This isn't nice HF. You've just written this blog for no other reason than to dig out Sav. Why would you do that to a bloke who contributes in a fun way and with grace to your blog? If you're doing it in jest just to wind him up it's not coming across like that- it just looks pretty relentless and nasty tbh.
I know you don't do apologies, etc but I do think you should wind your neck in a bit on this one. Btw, I know Sav is perfectly capable of looking after himself, but you're going too far on this one even for you.
Sav- amazing result for your boys last night- I'll be honest and say I didn't see that one coming. I'm glad Russia went out too- they've got some horrible bloody supporters. I hope we join you in the last eight.
Thanks for your support guys. I wonder who would be posting anything meaningful here if it weren't for guys like you.
Don't worry I am not bothered by HF. I know him too well by now. He is just letting himself down.
Come off it I am Greek and I laughed when I read this.
