wtf is Ben arfa doing there. Get back you fucking tit

too tall!

Well done on making BBC News today http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-15807018 and to think its not for drunk & disorderly!

Nobody has said that owning a football club is like owning a car, if you're too thick to realise that then theres nae hope at all. For instance theres no petrol cap on SJP, the wheels came off years ago and if anyhting its a convertible. Seriously though, its not about it being "like owning a car" its the analogy of a fun plaything being the owners responsiblity to pay the upkeep on. If he'd said he'd bought it as a business and was hoping to make money out of it then frankly that would be different, then you can think fair enough, hes been burnt and wants to get it breaking even. I dont even have a problem with the concept of the club making its own money and him not putting in (even though he promised "20m per season and nothing back in return") its the constant bleating from Derek of "why should Mike have to put his hand in his pocket?" He should have to dip into his pocket because its his toy.

Thats absolute rubbish statement and you know it is but as usual you attempt to back up your argument by not giving anything valid back and coming up some spurious statement. The amounts involved are irrelevant. A million pound to Ashley is probably the equivalent of a £100 to me so everything is relevant. At the end of the day the argument is that buying something "to have fun" (and its clearly not a tenuous statement Chez as it was in numerous interviews with Mort) should mean that you either pay up for that "fun".

exactly Hhhmm agreeing with Leazes Don't worry about it, your argument/analogy was seriously flawed and utter bollocks, that's why he agreed, probably. Maybe the Greek PM should try a similar argument with the Eurozone And why exactly was KCGs analogy flawed, its a subject Ive tried to get my head round many a time and always end up coming back to the car analogy (never been as well put as KCG did though). Ashley bought a football club to have fun (in his words, even though this was bollocks and it was, in the words of John Hall, a vehicle for pushing SD) I buy a Ferrari (I fucking wish) to have fun. Ferrari costs me £3k per year in insurance, £2k in maintenance and £100 in petrol every time I take it to the shops. Do I expect Enzo to pick up that tab? do I fuck, its my car, I used the petrol so I'll fork out for it. If I then go out and drive the fucker into a wall the day after the insurance has ran out do I expect the owner of the wall to pay? nope I fucked up I bear the cost. Why should a football club be any different?

I find your logic on these things strange Gene, you want to commemorate Holocaust Day (quite rightly) yet refuse to do the same thing for the very people who stopped the atrocity in the first place. Many of those commemorated with poppies will have died in Poland etc fighting their way towards the likes of Auschwitz.

Its been a couple of weeks since I had a chance to do this but just updated it and we were bottom of the league at this stage last season. Cant upload the image from work but basically we had 8 points from 12 games with a -6 goal difference. Makems meanwhile had 15 points and were 8th.

take a closer look, its not Aye, sorry lads. Just looked at her face now, it's not. Angie Griffin

Though you already had. Maybe I have She's known over here to be a 'nobody' from Mossley in Manchester which is right where I lived for 10 years or so! Funny, I thought it was all about her body! btw you probably should review your nuts comment in light of the above. OMG! I love Galaxy me.

nah mine was a general statement that Ive heard many a time from people who think football was invented in 1992.

aye man burrits his club innit, he saved us so's he can dee wharee wants oh and the 500 billion hes promised uz will come in handy

Probably a stupid question but is there anything to stop him selling the club to Sports Direct itself? It would mean he'd recoup his personal losses and then be able to do whatever he wanted in the way of branding etc

ahhh bollocks, Im now blogging http://justasimplefan.wordpress.com

I liked the reply from someone who asked if they dried the coins on towels beforehand

only know what Ive read on twitter but coins n seats coming our way... saying that I also heard our lot sent a firework over, not good either way.

Overall I thought it was a good attempt by the lads, no shame at all in losing 3-1 to that lot. Shameful display by their fans though by all accounts.

Consolation

While writing my first ever blog on this very subject (http://justasimplefan.wordpress.com) I came up with an interesting question. If this is such a good deal to any prospective company then why hasnt SD actually snapped up the chance themselves? If I was AN Other Company Id be wondering that very same question. Again brings us back to the simple logic, he has no intention of selling the name, will simply "showcase" SD for as long as possible.

that was a crap challenge from Ben Arfa

oh fuck

good play between Ben Arfa and Ba there

is it not still possible to buy a shirt without the ad? or was that just when its alcohol related?

In seriousness Andy, you need to ensure you've had her sign a model release form with some proof of Id before doing pics. Just in case, don't want to end up biting a pillow on Nonce wing
