Park Life

Ideally I'd replace the 3 of them. One game and Martins is a class act? Same for Viduka, etc. Owen isn't really good at anything these days either. All 3 should be on pay as you play as well. Impossible to plan when they're nearly all injured at one point. i think owen has turned into a poorer version of shearer in his latter days after injuries killed his pace. in other words, he's still a class finisher but needs chances on a plate and offers little to the general team play. unlike shearer, he doesn't have other attributes like strength and hold up play to counter his lack of mobility and pace - not worth the massive wages anymore, sadly. martins is worth keeping because is an impact player unlike any other on our books and we will probably struggle to attract a player capable of what he is occasionally capable of doing for a few seasons. we won't have the pulling power that we've had for a few years now. martins is worth keeping even if we get other strikers in to replace the likes of viduka, shola and owen. we don't have the depth to shift them all and of all of them, martins is the one i'd hang on to. I suppose I did say 'ideally', in which case I'd agree re: Martins because he's an ideal supersub but that's not really a luxury we can afford. Agree in general about Owen accept about the finishing. I'm not sure he was ever a world class 'finisher' and he certainly isn't now. They're all either finished or very ordinary imo. People take the piss out of Spurs for Darren Bent at £17m but I'd take him ahead of any of our lot including Martins (and Bent is nothing special). the thing is, do you think we could attract a player like bent anymore? do you think we'd pay his fee (i'm sure spurs would want to recoup at least £10m of the £17m they splurged), and even if we agreed a fee and matched his wages (which i doubt ashley would do), would the player want come to a side that (assuming we stay up) has only just survived relegation. i honestly don't see us signing more than one striker who is either as good as or better than martins for a while. if we were up there with everton and villa with a similar squad to those two i would agree that he would be one that we could maybe move on if better players were coming in that could help us step up to the next level. we're a way away from that though....need to survive this season and next before we let players like martins go. I think Owen has one more golden patch left in him. Needs service.

Parky? (NSFW ) That's how I like to roll out a tune. Stop ending it like and it might stay in tune.

Yeah Tom I popped it in the freezer overnight. Your lass making you practice outside in sub zero temperatures may have affected it Parky....Meow, Meow Was the Croatian kid there when she done this? I Guantanmo'd Mrs P for a few nights till she started hearing my voice when I wasn't in the room. [JJSea/] He's been dealt wiv.

Owen and AS would work well together.

Took the words out of my mouth. First it was some Croatian kid?? mowing Parkys lawn, now it's some Kraut trying to tax him for a new guitar. Remove one of the strings and tie it tightly around his big, fat, sausage like neck, and ask him to sing, Doh, Ray, Me, Fah, Soh, La, Ti, see if the fuckas guitar is in tune then. FFS Parky where's your Bulldog spirit. I know man. WTF is going on??!!!

I'll bet anything Baggy reads this board everyday.

Whats wrong with Beye? I know he is getting on but he is still a quality player. Can do 2 pos as well.

I was in two minds between Tayls and Martins....Went for the mad black fella in the end,

I forgot about Jonas, this is harder than I thought it would be You did the right thing.

He carries in a cheap plastic type bag on the back of his motorbike the stupid cunt. I'm gonna ask him for his other guitar when he comes round.

Bale in a 12 just doesn't sit right with me.

Yeah Tom I popped it in the freezer overnight.

I sometimes have trouble with the full moon.

Maybe I should grow Jew hair and sit outside his house with a placard with 6 million written on it.

First thing that crossed my mind Gems. Really man what a fukin windup this is.......

Is this officially now the good flu or the bad flu?

The five players you'd like to keep. Me. Owen, Bassong, Gutheerie, Martins, Beye. Stick to five kids.

Universe knows best isn't it?

Class.

Let me know when you're coming over as he's a bit of a producer.

Drive over the cunts feet next time.

I'll tell him. He's a bit of a big bloke mind do I'll sit near some empty bottles.

It's bothering me cause he's the only bloke I know with Pro tools and a Mac and 3 of my fuking songs on it.

Yeah he does it by ear.... The reason I'm slightly concerned is that his girlfriend started saying someone (ie me) must have sat on it. If I'd have sat on it I'd have just said so which is what I replied. Further he says the tuning mechanism doesn't keep it in tune for any length of time anymore....Eh?? Nb he's a bit of a muso and is getting emotional cause it was his first guitar. Summink wrong with all these fucking musos. **Looks like a nice guitar in the link..Will get mesel one.
