warrenellis:Yes, John Terry, no-one will notice if you just lay on an opposition player and try to fuck them.


Warren Ellis' tweets on the World Cup are the only commentary I need. Especially now that the US is definitively out of the running fffffff

I particularly liked: England team now being wheeled back to their care home. Heskey being taken straight to glue factory.

I think Warren Ellis has managed to out-do Charlie Brooker for quality World Cup commentary, which is incredible.

Want to know a secret? I'm hoping England lose their next match and get knocked out of the running. It would please me!

I haven't been reading Charlier Brooker's World Cup commentary, but I don't think I've seen anything better than this. I want him to tweet about all the games now, not just the English ones.

But if England loses, Slovenia goes through! Yes, the odds of Slovenia going through are pretty huge anyway, but I feel I should stick to my righteous indignation about that last match.

Brooker's World Cup commentary is somewhat more underwhelming than I'd thought it would be. He mostly seems to be fixated on the annoying existence of vuvuzela horns.

I love Warren Ellis' Twitter. He's a genuinely cool dude (met him) but he's also an incredible writer. One of the best in the business, I'd go as far as to say. Have you read Fell? Or the online FreakAngels? Not only are his scripts really smart, they also tend to make me laugh at the darkest, blackest things. Mining corpses for comedic gold!

The US lost against Slovenia, right? Frankly, Slovenia can have it. Anybody can have it. It doesn't matter!

Well, that's understandable to an extent. Watching the US-Slovenia match was killer. You could barely hear the commentators over what sounded like a million bees storming the field.

I think I read the first of Fell when it was online? And I keep meaning to check out FreakAngels, but I've never gotten around to it. He seems like a really fantastic writer, though.

Well, they tied, but the US would have won if not for a spectacularly bad call on the part of the ref. I see that perhaps you're not thoroughly invested in FIFA.
