Ahhh, as in New2. Maybe.

EL-UH-VAY-SHUN!

At least when we were finishing 14th/13th in the table we had a player like Shearer always to count on who attracted players to come here to play in the same team as him keeping our dream alive to be back in th top flight. It was essential to get someone of the same caliber and Kuyt looked to be that kind of player we needed to replace him. Now though, what option do we have? We're fucked basically. All we can do is hope that Dyer stays fit and Shola is consistent so we can use them up front. I think we had more of a chance at signing Kuyt than that happening this season...! 179594[/snapback] I've been saying for a while that my big fear when Shearer retired was that we would become one of those clubs like a Villa where every summer they're looking for their next striker because the last one couldn't cut it. And every summer they buy another donkey, the fans get their hopes up.....and he turns out to be turd. We've been spoilt for years with Shearer, taking it for granted that we'd always have this bloke up front who would score pretty much every chance he got and now we're just another football team who has to go back to taking chances on people that may or may not make it. It's Martins or bust for us now surely, unless we bite the bullet and get someone like that Nugent lad in. Whether either of them are good enough is anyone's guess. We've spent so long scouting Kuyt he HAS to have been our first choice of what's left. Now he's gone, I really don't know what Roeder's gonna do.

Shola will NEVER win over a lot of our support now. Doesn't matter if he scores, if his first touch from the restart is poor, people will be calling him a useless prick. I don't think he's good enough, but it's sad that he'll never get any credit from some people.

What's that got to do with tennis like? 179571[/snapback] This thread was a hive of activity so I thought I'd break it here.

Ladies, just so you know....Kuyt to Liverpool is now on the Liverpool official site, complete with quotes from him and the Feyenoord chairman.

Right, NOW I am officially allowed to be pissed off that we've clarted about scouting him right up to the point he's joined another club. Shambles tbh.

I heard you refused to take the crash helmet off for the picture so they couldn't run the story.

Cheers, will give it a read. If anyone sat next to me shat themselves, the plane crashing would be the least of their concerns. I'd leather the shite out of them all the way down.

he might, but when I sing his praises I forget he's an anti English twat 179543[/snapback] He's a proud Scotsman. Nowt wrong with that. I don't really care what he thinks about England - most English-Scottish stuff can be put down to friendly banter, but a lot of times I think there's justification in any contempt the Scots may have for the English.

I just thought Henman never looked like a winner. Murray does, in the same way Hewitt does. He looks a battler.

Unless you get over your wimpy fear of flying then Butlins is gonna be the best you can hope for. 179504[/snapback] surely it's a fear of crashing that all these people have, not flying?? Y'know, hurtling through the air toward the ground; getting thrown about all over the cabin; all the mindless screaming; pieces of aircraft being torn off bit by bit. That sort of thing? 179509[/snapback] I do have a fear of flying not just crashing. Im scared of heights and enclosed spaces....in fact yes!! That was me on that flight yesterday 179524[/snapback] One of Ian Mcewan's recent books perfectly sums up what it's probably like to be on a plane that's going to crash. He describes the growing smell of shit filling the air. 179531[/snapback] Was it Saturday? Any good? You do realise that Rob's gonna be all over your arse now with articles from Flight contesting your shit smell claims? I wouldn't shit myself if I was on a plane about to crash by the way. That's minging.

Have you read the thread on NO? He's getting very little credit from her. It was all down to Federer playing rubbish.

Unless you get over your wimpy fear of flying then Butlins is gonna be the best you can hope for. 179504[/snapback] Never!!!! (not whilst there's a center parcs)!! Anyway Bianca, dont forget that although i'm a big wimp, i have been known to get on a ferry.....travel sicknes tablets and sick bag at the ready mind! 179517[/snapback] Oh what a feeling! Dancing on the Sealink!

Was it only me that noticed how much chubbier Shearer looked last night btw? He's starting to get an Andy Gray potato head.

By the way, IF this does turn out to be true and the deal to send him to Liverpool was all but signed while we were still scouting him last night, NOW are we allowed to say that we've pissed about far too much watching the lad play when we should have been making an offer?? Did they think he was just sat waiting for us or something?

Ally's 4 A's should have made the local news anyway - the lad's semi-retarded ffs.

Unless you get over your wimpy fear of flying then Butlins is gonna be the best you can hope for.

Get easier every time - FACT! In fact I think I'll be winding them up on NO about that later.

Renton, are you coming on Saturday, you steemasex heemasex?

Tenner says Ally doesn't turn up this weekend like. He always talks bollocks about how he's coming......then says "If my mate's coming I won't be able to make it"......then the next thing we hear is after the day he'll come on and go "Sorry I couldn't be there." Stage one and two are already complete in the pissup thread.

Greece were diabolical, but England looked a different side altogether last night. Canny sad that that comes just after the World Cup, and an indictment of Eriksson.

Or if we'd just signed Schevchenko and Ballack ffs. What's wrong with them?!

Chairman Freddy Shepherd and boss Glenn Roeder travelled to Dublin to watch Kuyt in action for his country last night. But they were disappointed to learn that the 26-year-old’s move to Anfield had already been agreed. It's from the Sun like, but still. Laurel and frigging Hardy.

Roeder's going to watch him in training with Liverpool next week tbh.
