  1. FA cup 4th round this weekend. League matches moved. We're not in the cup. Again.
  2. BREAKING NEWS: Film director and restaurant critic Michael Winner has died aged 77 Same age as my old man....tbh Winner always seemed decades older than him. "Wit, rancontueur, bon viveur"....and Michael liked a pint as well
  3. There may have been more to it than that....there was a ruck after they got beat off Sweden. We dont know what else has gone on. He chose not to renew his contract. I certainly wouldnt suggest it had no baring on his decision, but I doubt if any manager worth his salt would turn a job down because there was a player at the club he hadnt got on with in the past. If he was offered it. Which he won't be...probably
  4. literally or metaphorically?.... Snowbound no doubt.
  5. So they had a tiff at the world cup?....have you had a row with your boss at work?...do you think that stops managers from taking jobs/players being able to play for managers they dont get on with?...it has done, and a lot of it is well publicised. But most people are a bit "meh" about their bosses. HBA is off to PSG in the summer anyway
  6. The er, post you replied to?...you know, why you've signed up here and are posting etc?...do you take it all to heart?...
  7. Theyd been down in the second divi for a fair while when they got promoted and finished in an uefa cup spot...signed Finidi George that summer and got relegated. Not been back. So we'll see. WBA and the mackems have been up and down like a hoors drawers for most of the last decade iirc...Wolves, Brum etc...
  8. Glen Roeder and Peter Jackson Andy Thorn came in and we went down. Nowt to do with selling Gazza..honest...
  9. I was making a general point about Ashley & co's policy in general...if he's taking money for Best and Lovenkrands, not replacing them and then taking gambles on complete unknowns from the French second division like Amatifano, it tells its own story on the pitch. Its the opposite of development, its taken us backwards. Youre right, Amaltifano barely made the bench v Brighton Abeid has had his chsnces and not taken them We need them for the squad though because the first XI hasnt been strengthened properly.
  10. No, I mean Ashley wont spend enough money to build the squad in general. We didnt have a proven premier league standard player on the bench on Saturday bar Steven Taylor and he is returning from long term injury. Are you beginning to see the problem?
  11. Has Ashley changed from the bloke who had four managers in the last relegation season? Being pretty ruthless with Hughton was another gamble. 0 points from the next 3 games is going to make Pardews possition untenable iyam. Don't know myself, flip of a coin. Would a new manager bring in 17-20 points?...looking at it like that its difficult to see Pardew acheiveing it.
  12. So who do we replace them with in the squad?....we havent replaced Best or Lovenkrands yet. Not sure about Abeid, he's had two or three opputunities now over 18 months and he's not done much. Ashley is running a tight financial ship though, so am sure all will be fine...
  13. I think Peter Beardsley stands a good chance of being the next NUFC manager.
  14. Could we conceiveably sign 3 French players this window? + HBA,Cabaye,Cisse (speaka da lingo) Marveux,Abeid,Amalfitano,Obertan. Possibly 10 French squad members on 1st Feb...thats a lot. One of their wives probably makes lovely bread and pastries though....Dekka and Alan will love that
  15. In a "normal" football world,0 points from Villa would mean he's toast. Adkins got sacked on a run of losing 2 in 12 Sounds like some sort of informal "vote of confidence" has been given according to the Journal this morning. So thats the second last nail in his coffin, Villa may provide the final one.
  16. Maybe he put some money into Ollie's crepe bar
  17. These are the players Sisskho's agent represents....look whos top.... http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/frederic-guerra/details/berater_754.html
  18. His agent would appear to be one Tim Hager....currently also representing Yann M'Villa, who is also wanted by QPR apparently.....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....................
  19. Is it naive in the least to say that pulling the sort of shit QPR and Willie Mckay did last week isnt really Wenger's style?.... If he doesn't come its likely that Colo is going nowhere...
  20. Wont beleive it till hes pictured grinning like a confused tourist at Benton....
