That last bit; spot on. In general it's a bit of cunty thing to say but those words have crossed my mind more than once this season , just piss off and start following Chelsea if you want the moon on a string

People have difficulty factoring in the fact that we're owned by Mike fuckin Ashley before they knee jerk all over the Internet. Regardless of our very decent season the current squad has been financed by an owner who's got us relegated twice in 7 seasons. He's the really fuckin useless one, tbh almost all other comment is rendered pretty fuckin pointless by this point.... "WERE SHITE MAN COLBACKS USELESS!!" is at this stage verging on some sort of weird virtue signalling.....you can pick out a poor player? Well good for you, genius... We know the squad is mostly mediocre, we know Rafa is safety first,patient and at times attritional . I fuckin love him for it me like

I stated (at some length ) on this esteemed forum a few years back that if they brought it in for a ball over the goal line then it would soon be brought in for everything. All completely driven as you say by the needs of the TV companies that bank roll professional sport. It's not enhanced other sports iyam, it's just taken the human touch out of them. These sports that spread across the world over a century and a half without any real officiating problems until cunts in suits decided to monetise them. its not progress, it's just fuckin nonsense.

Shall we open a book to guess by how much the pound will fall v the dollar and euro by end of play on Wednesday, or is that just typical remoaner alarmist bullshit?

The equivalency police want a word with you

Replacing Colback with James Ward Prowse would probably ensure survival Don't know if he'd come, but that's the sort of player we need to be adding iyam.

So that's ewerk and the queen then He'll always be a hugely divisive figure. As ferociously, murderously pitiless as he was hugely intelligent and visionary.

Martin McGuinness brown bread so he is...

I think Ashley shithoused us on Townsend. And from all accounts Penfold didn't have the balls to tell Rafa what was(nt) happening on deadline day. That's why when Rafa was asked what happened in the next press conference he said "don't know". The signs aren't good tbh, but fuck it. We've got a spring run in v some good clubs might as well enjoy it while it lasts. In a strange way I'd like to win the league but stay in this division....

Tbh as long as he and Ashley run the club I don't think that sort of criticism is warranted. Look at what happened in January. Theres a bigger picture than playing two in front of the back four at home (one of them bring Colback) and grinding our way to promotion. Too many fail to see it consistently, or sometimes even acknowledge it. That's you Noelie

Aye Bellamy says the same in his book. But 25k "wongaloids" (as someone on here called them ) can't be wrong...

Not sure if that's the final team? Vladimir Smicer scored, Biscan definetly played in the final at some point too. Harry Kewell bottled it at two nil and faked an injury, he may have come on then. Dietmar Hamman came on at half time when they were 3 nil down for someone or other too. They still won

As has been mentioned we're playing with a lot of fuckin duds yet we're still top of the league. It's been a good season both in spite of them and because of them. If people want scintillating football then they'll spend a lot of time looking for it in England's top two divisions. Ok there are some good teams but who would you actually pay to watch thinking that you'll see attacking, front foot football? Chelsea? Spurs? that's about it iyam, and that's at a push with them even from time to time, especially Spurs. The rest play with varying degrees of pragmatism, apart from Arsenal, who seem to be in it for shits a giggles nowadays. We beat Benitez's Liverpool 1-0 at SJP around this time of year 2005, Laurent Robert goal, and I thought they were fuckin hopeless.I was doing some work round a mates house where both he and his neighbour we're passionate plastic red men. " Saw them a couple of weeks ago lads, that's the worst Liverpool team I've ever fuckin seen" was my confident statement of where the Benitez regime stood in the pantheon of Liverpool sides past and present. Two months later they won the European Cup

If am not mistaken it appears that very own Renton gets a gig writing in the venerable organ that is The Observer this morning

It's all getting a bit "Yugoslavia 91" round these parts iyam

Backed by what may I ask?...

And guess what? If yes had won in 2014 Scotland would have been outside the EU If May grants indy2 and yes wins have you had any thoughts on what your currency might be?

To be sacked by one club is unfortunate, to be sacked almost exactly 12 months later by another just looks careless.....
