  1. Not working for me,which is a shame because for me its in my "all time top 5 of all time"....can a cover be better than the original?
  2. Everton are likely to be sold soon to some yanks for around 200mill, who you'd imagine would then have to build a new stadium, so you can probably treble the price tag at an absoloute minimum. Looking at it like that, the money is out there...somewhere...
  3. This is it...what if theyd nicked a goal from a set piece before we'd scored?...recent history tells us that is a. likely rather than not and b. a point is all we'd have got from the game at the most. Pleased with the win, one swallow doesn't make a summer though. Shelvey had done a disappearing act for 3 months at Swansea before he signed for us and I thought he'd done the same last Wednesday at Everton, showing for me he's as inconsistent and frankly shite away from home as the rest of the bravehearts that play for us. If we're staying up its home form that will do it.
  4. Illuminating.... http://www.european-football-statistics.co.uk/attn.htm Never had a season where they've averaged 50k+ Won the league in 81: 34k Finished 11th in 82 but won the European Cup: 26k Played in divi 3 in 71 & 72 I think he's always had it in for us since his mate Wisey was sacked and fed him a load of fuckin shit about us. Shouldn't really rise to the bait but he's still earning a wage from the game and should fuckin know better.
  5. @@Idioteque Ever tried this with your standard turn table?...might save you a ton... http://www.audacityteam.org/
  6. He's fuckin wrong too. We do have quality, in most positions. We don't have much in the way of leadership, heart,fight or spirit though. The stuff that brings the quality to the fore. Everton have been shite this season but have done the double over us with no goals scored, similar to the over achieving but still very mediocre Watford. We've got the lowest points total in early February than any of our other premier league campaigns. Our points per game has us on target for 33 in May which no club has ever stayed up with. £130 million spent since May 2014. If Leicester win the league ( I sincerely hope they do) and us, the mackems and Villa go down then 2015/16 will be known as the season that the English Premier League finally fuckin ate itself.
  7. Am saying they all needed addressing. Am off to Everton at half ten. I am actually looking forward to see how Townsend and Saivet perform. I'm very happy to be going, less happy that we're still not addressing all areas that needed strengthening but hey ho. That's Ashley's NUFC.
  8. Or rather how there is a premium on those who score rather than those who stop goals. Goalkeepers in general are the most undervalued position in terms of importance. But that's another debate. That it doesn't matter to you, that we can have any old lumbering centre back playing for us out of position in defence when we're sat third bottom tells its own story.
  9. So seeing as they were chasing a left back and a striker seemingly until yesterday, for you the point remains that left back wasn't as big a priority as a striker, in spite of the evidence pointing towards the opposite, and basically because you've said so on the internet
  10. So we've signed a notoriously fragile enigmatic striker with no premier league experience.....and they wouldn't pay Enrique's wages, the Spanish lad got a better offer, we were linked to Gibbs and the Argie lad at Valencia. It would strongly appear that McLaren thought a left back was a priority too, but was let down by the brains trust upstairs. So that's the manager and most of this board who thought a left back was a priority,but not you. As per fuckin usual, captain contrary
  11. Dummett is a centre back being played out of position, Haidara is injured. Theres no one else. A modern top division side without two ball playing full backs is lacking in balance. We don't have one and we've seemingly signed a right footed player to play in front of the non-existent left back. Pleased you're happy with all that.
  12. So you're ok with not having.a fit senior player for one of the 11 positions on the pitch? You'll have to forgive me for wanting a bit more than the usual make do and mend drivel we usually get,
  13. The secret footballer is Dave Kitson who Pulis signed for Stoke. They fell out badly and Kitson barely played under him. Basically drove the player into retirement. Looks like he's serving his revenge & chips cold....
  14. McLaren is a footballing conservative, he's not going to play a teenager in front of Dummet, having established that his often ponderous displays are still better than Haidara, even before his injury. We apparently couldn't agree personal terms with Enrique which I think is code for we wouldn't pay him the money that would've perhaps kept him here in the fuckin first place. Criticism of a limited yet honest grafter like Dummet is a bit unfair in this case iyam, it's as clear as day left back was a priority in this window and they've failed yet again. The blame lies with the recruitment process, as per fuckin usual.
  15. Now the Siquera loan had bitten the dust and he's gone to Valencia, does it mean a move for Valencia's now apparently very out of favour lb Lucas Olban who was mentioned in the week more likely?
  16. True. Perhaps they are as badly run as we are and just won't bother
  17. Can't see Berahino happening, who are they going to replace him with? Unless this is all planned and they've got a replacement in the wings waiting for the call, which is just about possible as I can't see West Brom turning down 21 mill without giving it serious thought..
  18. "Lunch" I've introduced the Scots term "piecebaggin" to the south east Dorset vernacular, to denote "he can be observed post 1930ish on a Friday evening with a scruffy bag round his shoulders, containing an empty Tupperware box, staggering out of a licenced establishment after entering within its confines several hours earlier for a couple after work "
  19. That was class....."Turn it in Cromwell, you're mugging me off you caahnt"
  20. Tbh, I was trying to point out it's utterly pointless generalising about any set of supporters. The afcb supporters I know best aren't the towns most savoury characters it's fair to say. These lads have freely watched utter shit most weeks all their lives though. Regardless of their extra curricular activities they're part of the clubs 4k core support and I do have respect for that.
  21. People aren't cunts because of their professed support for any given club, take football out of it and you'll find if they're a cunt in general they'll be a cunt at the match too. It's society to blame Dave No real opinion on Bournemouth fans?....most I know are taking this season as an opputunity to go and cause trouble at away games they couldn't dreamed of 5 years ago. A small but inherently nasty little mob. But get this, as far as I can make out,every club has them. Then there was the lad from Bournemouth who sometimes used to travel with us regularly to NUFC games in the late 90s, used to take his family up too, wife, couple of bairns, he loved it. We ran into him at Dean Court in November when we played them and he was dressed from head to toe in red and fuckin black Tbh, I'm more offended by that prick than the elderly hoolies having a unexpected last hurrah,playing up at Old Trafford and Highbury etc.
  22. Is it "National Sweeping Generalisation Day"?
