Title: Fight fight where ever you may be, even in the Turkish Legislatury
Post by: Ivo Stas on December 10, 2021, 08:36:14 AM
Ex Aston Villa defender and ruling AKP party deputy Alpay Ozlan having a fist fight (on Wednesday, I think) whilst debating the Turkish budget.

Good to see he has a mask on though!

There's some more about it here, think perhaps some of the insults traded have lost something in translation:

Sure, but it's rare even to have a challenger.

Anyway, had no idea that's where Alpay ended up. Always was a mad selfish bastard.

Its brilliant but it would be a new entry at number two as African car reverser has to be the best.

This also reminds me of seeing Alpay Ozalan in a clothes store in the Bull Ring just after the infamous Holte End keep quiet incident.
When he saw the Villa shirt I was wearing he literally dived behind a clothes rail!
In hindsight  I regret no popping over to discuss his future political aspirations.

Superb thread title, and an admirable attempt at making the song scan.

It does work (just) with the offical title of the place as well though:

Fight fight where ever you may be, even in the Turkish Grand National Assembly
And we don't give a fuck, and we don't give a shit,
Cause we've got the Ministry of the Interior budget

Actually I was thinking of Bowie's "Move On". Very under-rated song as is its parent album, Lodger. The Alan Wright of his career, perhaps.

More footballers should get involved in the politics of their country.
 Sasa Curcic could certainly enrich Serbian parliamentary debate, albeit leading to a major Balkan conflagration.

Nothing in life is better than a good headline and this one takes the title from my previous favourite. Sadly, that has been lost due to the BBC introducing SEO headlines, but the short headline that appeared on indexes for this (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8599459.stm) was "Heather Mills in breast op bust-up". Getting that past the old farts at Broadcasting House was the crowning glory in a mate of mine's brilliant BBC career.

Ivo Stas, chapeau.

We have two polar opposites regarding thread titles.
This one which left us confused, unsure, mystified, curious and baffled all in equal measure.

And "How do you wipe yer arse" which eliminates all of the above instantly.
Superb.

That's from Villatalk but its their forum-peak whereas H&V has had numerous smash-hit singles/threads.

That article is a veritable treasure trove of potential H&V cult one liners.

Perhaps there should be some sort of autocorrect on DW saying “less of that both of you” to:

Off topic, but, yes, agreed, my fave Bowie album. For me a Paul McGrath in Alan Wright’s clothing.

Also has the "African Night Flight" track ... wonder whether this could be the sequel to the African Car Reverser thread? As in 'What happened to the ACR after the car had finished reversing?'

Looks like Becksy is about to cup his slenders, to be far.

Savo was part of the Serb uprising against his (distant) relative Slobadan in 2000. Curcic was putting in the hard yards and getting plastic surgery to his beak ahead of a switch to the adult entertainment injury around the same time. History buff Fernando Nelson built a complete replica of Tamworth Castle on his return to Porto.

One of those may not be true.

I recall The Sun newspaper comic demanding Alpay be sacked by Villa over that. I agreed he should be sacked, but not for that. More for about a dozen other reasons.
