Agreed, that's why I'm so annoyed. If he'd even put in half the effort most players do, he would now be the best winger in the Premiership by a country mile. Now he's just unwanted at Pompey. Well done Laurent. I remember reading how he excelled at karate. horse-riding and football as a boy but decided the team sport would be the most challenging. Just no-one told him football was the team sport, apparently. Fuck, I sound as bitter as an Alan Oliver piece. 53750[/snapback] Aye, that's what really pissed me off about Robert. All the ability in the world, but no interest in applying himself unless he felt like it. That coupled with the silly interviews etc. meant the bad eventually outweighed the good. 53755[/snapback] Fucking hell man, stop talking in cliches. It's lazy. 53758[/snapback] It's only a cliche because it's all true. Renton is seething.

Renton's been lurking in this thread for a good 5 minutes now. Seething, I expect.

There was blatantly nothing special about his hair until Happy Jack pissed about with it. Which makes this thread even better.

Not a pick of bother that lad. And the best left winger in the club's history, statistically speaking, setting aside mood swings...etc. etc.

Racist tbh.

Actuaries are even more boring than accountants. Northern Rock would seem your best bet though.

Interesting. When I state an opinion, I usually give a reason for holding that opinion. If someone disagrees, that's fine. But this is a forum to engage in debate, isn't it? There is really no difference between me disagreeing with someone and another person disagreeing with me. However, if I reply I will ask someone why they believe what they believe, you know, if they say Robert or Bellamy is shite I'll ask them to substantiate that view with some facts. The problem some people have is that they don't have a reply to a question like that. All I'm after is a football debate, seems difficult to have one. Your problem in particular is that you in fact never contribute anything to any thread about the topic. You never disagree or agree with anybody, you just post one liners on different subjects. Most odd. I'm sure the majority will remember your posts as well as they remember mine. 53721[/snapback] With all due respect HTL, your brand of debate is generally to dismiss out of hand anyone that disagrees with you as someone who knows nothing. One of your classic and frequently used responses to someone that does agree with you is to applaud their post and claim that only an idiot/arsehole/dickhead/wanker could think any differently - hardly the work of someone whose only hope is for a decent football debate.

Any truth in the rumour that this Ashington encounter involved vigorous dog-washing and a bout of Monroe transferral?

Well you are just a "sheep" after all. 53492[/snapback] Moo.

I'm just following you around laughing at your jokes tbh.

Gutted I missed it now like.

I quite agree.... Love the way i'm 'not allowed' to compare us to Chelsea like.... But then again it DOES destroy their argument somewhat 53461[/snapback] To be fair like, I thought the Chelsea comparison was a load of bollocks too.

With your input that's pretty much guaranteed Gazelle boy. 53462[/snapback] WoooOOOooo get her!

I reckon this debate is set to go on for pages and be really really boring. :D

I thought Babayaro had a good game.

renewed optimism last heard when winning 8 games or whatever against pub teams last season. Not too far away from the mentioned 4 wins, against poor teams, all of whom had grounds for feeling they at least matched us, or looking at it the other way round, we were as bad as them. And unfortunately, we still aren't in the top 4/5 position we were in before Souness arrived. The post from isegrim is good reading. 53191[/snapback] 3 points off 4th tbh. 53195[/snapback] 3 points off 3rd actually...! Some people will never be satisfied. I guess they'd be happier if we played 'pretty football' and got thumped 3-0 53413[/snapback] To be fair Craig, did you actually watch the match on Saturday? 53420[/snapback]

I heard you were light on your feet. 53396[/snapback] A bit like Ali vs. Cleveland Williams if I'm honest. 53399[/snapback] You're like Cleveland Williams, right? 53414[/snapback] Fuck. Off.

It's about finding a balance though isn't it. I'd rather there was optimism on here than all that cobblers about being relegated that you have to endure on NO (Wullie is a canny lad, but I don't miss having to read his posts tbh ). I don't think we'll get into the Champions League, but it is a matter of fact that we are currently 3 points from a CL spot, and given our start to the season, I'm quite happy with that at the minute.

You must be strong. 53355[/snapback] Built like a brick shithouse tbh. 53357[/snapback] What was it you estimated my weight at that time?... 14 stone? 53380[/snapback] Aye but you've piled it on since then tbh. 53385[/snapback] My fortnightly ventures up to level 7 mustn't be maintaining my slimline figure then. If only we were in Europe.. 53388[/snapback] That's cos you don't run up the stairs like a gazelle like me.

I don't think for a second that we've suddenly turned a corner and are going to wipe the floor with everyone we play, but I'm fucked if I'm gonna mope around and whinge whilst we're winning games. 53375[/snapback] Ooooooh, get her! 53379[/snapback] Shut it, numb-nuts-misery-guts.
