    Oh I see you got your panties on twist. You counter allegatiosn with allegations. Nice. It makes you very much superior. But here is a hint for you. You know 0 about Finland. You know 0 about Finns. In real life that is. You might imagine you know something, but in real life, you know nothing. And that's a fact. Anyone who is born in country is native in my books. I guess that' snot enough for you though.

    You might be smarter, you might be brighter, and you definitely are more rich than me, but here's a fact for you anyway... you know **** about us, but we know a lot about you. Go on, be a spin doctor about it. Helps you absolutely nothing. In fact, makes you look more like a fool if you even try. The fact is I wasn't even half serious. Now if you say well neither were you, we both know you were not honest. You were half serious. Let me repeat. You know nothing about us. maybe you don't even care to know, but that's not something I would lose a good night sleep for.... I ask you one thing though. And that is not to go and disrespect my country etc, just because you get overheated about something. I'm not a flag waiver, because it's not our custom. But when I see a clear foul, well that's something we have to call. I say BS things a lot, and many times not serious. But I ask you.. how many times have I offended the US as a country? So please, take your **** somewhere else, because it's not appreciated. If you need to be a bigot, do it somewhere else.

        Litmanen should be retired already with his mullet. Samy Hyypiä is overrated...

        Yeah.. MyPa.. it's a team.

          And hells yes I'm drunk, I should go to sleep. Usually I'm very respective about you John, but something got me in your post. Maybe it was your intent. To be provocative. Maybe I took it wrong, being drunk and about to go to sleep. Maybe I'll feel totally differently tomorrow, but your post was utter **** and one of the most disrespectful I have seen lately. I was joking. I hope you were too. If not, then I have no more to say.

          Thanks. now ... sleep-o-land.... ZzzZzz

            Jari is one of the best players in Europe ever IMHO, I'm a bit biased with Sami, him being a red and all.....

            My cousin actually got to play for MyPa against Liverpool at Anfield in the Champions League, lucky ****$r.

                And also lovely things such as:

                bough

                cough

                though

                thorough

                through

                enough

                sough

                hiccough

                lough

                thought


                Gaelic is a killer for words looking like an alphabet orgy but sounding nothing like the way they're spelt:

                'Tha a' Ghàidhlig air te dhe na canain Ceilteach agus tha i air a bruidhinn ann an coimhearsnachdan ann an Iar Thuath na dùthcha.

                Tha i cuideachd air a labhairt le moran ann am bailtean na h-Alba. Ged a tha an àireamh de luchd-bruidhinn na Gàidhlig air tuiteam san dà cheud bliadhna a chaidh seachad, chan eil an ìre aire a th'aig a' Ghàidhlig sa cultur an-diugh riamh air a bhi aice roimh'n a seo. '

                    Which begs the question- which dictionaries did they use for reference ?
