  6. This myth about Arsenal not spending much needs to stop like.
  7. Aye I like that Dempsey, had a good season for Fulham been canny for a while really.
  8. Probably lives in Newcastle
  9. For what it's worth I've enjoyed this season more than last as I don't like the Championship and hated the club being there, I was just meaning if I was a fan of a club that was as dominant over the Prem as we were over the Championship I'd be ecstatic. In all honesty mate I think Manchester United fans would be happier as the Champions League is the pinnacle of European club football whereas the League cup is a minor trophy (I'd be over the moon if we wont it btw) and as Stoke have proven smaller clubs have just as much chance at the FA cup as they do with the League cup and the FA cup is a more meaningful trophy. All just my opinion rightly or wrongly. Anyway I'm off to enjoy the weather, have a belta day whatever you lot do and Happy Easter.
  10. I'm sick of his shit now too, constant stream of conspiracy theories anytime a decision doesn't go their way especially when considering how weak all 3 of their penalty shouts were and they got given a goal which could have quite easily not been given due to it being nigh on impossible to tell in real time if it was fully over the line of not. This. He's becoming a bitter blame-shifter when things are going his way. I must be getting soft because I felt happy for Torres when he scored. Watch him shift a few past us now like. me in all was thinking "that'll shut them up" about all the Liverpool fans who after claiming he was world class for years will go to great lengths to tell you how utterly shit he is.
  11. I'd say they were canny happy with winning the FA cup, same as Manchester United fans were gutted when they were knocked out of it this year. The majority of people like a good moan, if their team wins 4-0 but one player has a shocker a lot of fans will go on about how bad that player was but it doesn't make them any less happy about winning 4-0. I think it's harsh on Chelsea fans to say they didn't care about winning the FA cup, it's just in this era of football the Champions league is the bigger prize so if they felt cheated it was nailed on to be a big talking point. Fair enough that you disagree on that point but the one thing I liked about being in the Championship was winning most weeks and going into every game as strong favorites, Manchester United fans get that feeling in the Premiership so I just cannot see how fans of a perennial mid table team like Fulham can be happier than fans of one of the most successful clubs in World football.
  12. Piers Morgan vs Michael Owen on twitter couldn't hope for two bigger cunts to start arguing.
  13. Thank you for that well-thought out response. I can only speak from my own experience, and my experience tells me that happiness cannot be bought. Whether we equate happiness with success is one thing. But certainly I don't see happiness being bought in football. I don't think Chelsea fans are happier now than they were before Abramovicz (they were at the beginning, but I think that happiness has worn off). And I certainly don't think league Champions Man U were anywhere near as happy as Fulham fans in 2008-09. And Fulham did in fact spend much more money. Yes, Man City will be happy when/if they win the league. But only the first couple of times. After that, the same thing will happen as has happend with Chelsea fans, and only the Champions League will have the power to generate true deliria. So I ask you, Barton7, don't you agree that money can't buy happiness in football? I'm not asking about success now, I'm asking about long-term happiness? I believe it can, as like I said Manchester United fans that I've met are extremely happy every time they win the title, agreed probably not as happy as I would be if Newcastle won a title but that's simply because you become more accustomed to winning and even though you take it for granted (like many of us did under Robson etc) you're still very happy. You may be right that Fulham fans were happier that season (I don't personally know any Fulham fans) but that was one blip and Man Utd fans will be more consistently happy over the long term. Comparing Chelsea and us is the best indicator I guess. When Abramovic took over we'd had a few seasons of being around the same level, they invested heavily and went on to challenge for silverware whereas we had a string of poor managerial appointments and then were bought by Ashley, I think it's fair to say that Chelsea fans have been a lot happier than our fans over this period. They may often take their position for granted but they wouldn't want to swap places with us.
  14.

  15. Any true Manchester United fan that I've ever met is incredibly chuffed that they've won the league 'again' every time they win it, the only ones that don't care are the glory hunters. Trophies are success it's not moronic or knuckle dragging to say that in fact it's ridiculous to suggest otherwise, Abramovic took a club that was in financial trouble and made them into what they are today how is that not success? In the majority of cases success in football is bought, you use Burnley as an example but they will have no doubt spent more on players + wages than the teams scrapping to avoid relegation into League one so they bought their way into the play-offs. What about Manchester City so you think when/if they eventually win a title, their 1st since the late '60's their fans wont be happy?
  16. So you'd rather watch Ameobi and co meander around bloomfield road in an inept 1-1 draw than win a title with players like Drogba, Lampard and Cole? Also the 'Ashley understands the Geordie culture' shite proves to me that this lad is either on the wind up or not all there. Your comment about not giving players more than 20k a week and telling them to fuck off if they ask for more, I'd agree you would get players that would play for the team but it would be championship standard dross like Best, Perch etc not Premiership standard players like Tiote, Collo or Enrique.
  17. He didnt 'show loyalty' to Hughton or 'give him another chance'. He simply left Hughton in charge to hold the fort while he was trying to sell the club, which is why he didnt appoint a manager. In the mean time Hughton started doing well and I suspect Ashley then had a re-think and realised he didnt need to sell as a return to the Premiership and Sky money looked a strong possiblity early on. He struck lucky that the temporary man in charge until he found a buyer actually turned out to be a good manager, nothing to do with judgement or loyalty. Nail on the head.
  18. Surely a WUM? A season watching second tier football followed by a season trying to survive better than 2 seasons of challenging for the Premiership title You should go and support a team like West Brom they get pairs of seasons like this all the time.
  19. Just count yourself lucky you've not had to watch a Sam Allardyce team week in week out then.
  20. wonder where we'd be in the league now if we'd kept Carroll and Ben Arfa had never got injured.

    Mackems man

    She's probably thinking I'm from Houghton Le Spring, my belly is twice the size of my tits, who else is going to shag me. :D Very true
  22. He's certainly not part of the best central midfield pairing in the country. In fact I'd go so far to say Liverpool's problem this year has been their midfield. Wilshire, Modric, Van Der Vaart, Scholes, Villa, Tiote, Essien all better. And there'll be many more I haven't mentioned. Agreed PMSL as tough guy's statements they're barely the best midfield in Liverpool let alone the country especially as Gerrard is perma-crocked.
  23. FIFA on da line with iz brethren innit Followed by a bottle of Vodka from Sainsa's then tup tup
