If a football club exists to entertain its supporters and compete for trophies, then there’s no point to us and hasn’t been for a long time. I dont think Ashley gives a fuck about anything other than the finances, and is only our owner because his greed or pride won’t permit him to sell up for less than a massive profit. Since he overpaid in the first place, we’re stuck with him and the club is being slowly but surely strangled by hus stupidity and indifference. Supporting a club is ultimately pointless without hope, however misplaced it might be. With Ashley there’s little hope of better days ahead, we will always be cut price also rans at best.....and with this fucking clown show, we’re only ever a mclaren or kinnear away from disaster. Once Benitez walks - as he surely will sooner or later - we will be royally fucked. I’m sorry to go full Trooper but I don’t see better days ahead until Ashley fucks off and that might depend solely on the strength of his cardiac system.

Perfectly put, Howay. They’ll still be discussing the renaissance on RTG whilst Donald & Co are finalising their plans for a housing estate on the training ground

Short was in a rush to offload a train wreck and Donald was in a rush to buy with very little backing.This was never going to turn out well.

Only less entertaining

Seems likely atm he’ll leave at the end of his contract

Of course we have to sell to buy. Surely that’s no surprise?

I don’t understand why he hasn’t resigned yet. Loans and free transfers, what a joke. When you see the transfer business of other clubs, he must surely see he’s wasting his time with our lot of penny pinching amateurs.

“Of Frankie and the Heartstrings fame”

Erm there’s basically only one pro team to choose from. And even then I’d advise you not to bother.

@Howay you need to think less like a premier league football club and more like a cash strapped sports shop on maidenhead high st

At least we haven’t gone backwards. I can’t remember a summer when I wasn’t disappointed by this lot.

Hey, you can loose the attitude

Agreed, he should of got it right

Totally agree. Its just whiny bullshit, I assume Maradona has some sort of connection with Colombia, I can’t quite put my finger on what sort of line he might be pursuing here.

Its a little ironic for ‘hand of god’ maradona to accuse anyone of cheating. When a south american does it, it’s part of the game of course

Like Maradona, Colombia are accusing the ref of bias and generally feel hard done by. I don’t feel one iota of sympathy for them.

It’s up the officials to stamp it out. Seems to me they don’t have the stones to do that

It’s a shame when it comes down to who has the better shithouse. We need a world class shithouse if we’re to compete

or “Take the money and run”

Sweden 1 Turnips 0

Especially when it doesnt happen that often

Justice done. Time to get a bet on Sweden for the quarters.

The Sun is fucking dreadful full stop. I’d be surprised if they know where Colombia is. How shit is that picture of Kane btw? Looks more like a wimpy kid than England’s lion.

Sounds like 1 out 1 in then, as we all expected
