Started poorly and was obviously miserable. Then he started to play well and Alan Oliver dragged up some quotes of his which he hadn't used from months previously when he was misearble saying he wanted to move. Bit of a shame as he went downhill from there. Oliver once again proving he was a shit-stirring prick as well.

Had a decent game at Arsenal once (0-0) and was on the receiving end of one of the worst tackles I've ever seen by Bergkamp.

Just opened my first pay slip of the new tax year - net pay down by £10 (don't ask me how) - Tory Cunts.

Way to miss the point - how did Forest win the league in 77? Why do you expect to better 6 teams with higher incomes?

so, as I have asked you, what will they do to consolidate it and "make progress" or qualify for europe rather more often than once every 5 years, with the 14th biggest revenues in football ? Thats assuming they still have the 14th biggest revenues in football ? I'll ask again - if income/revenue is the only measure of ambition and expected level of success, why do you expect us to compete with six clubs whose income is so much higher than ours? I think we can based on decent management in the same way in the past teams like Forest took on the big boys of the time but I realise its harder now.

You constantly equate revenues and income with expected level yet when its clearly pointed out that 6 or 7 clubs have much higher incomes than us you dismiss it and demand we try and finish above them - which way do you want it?

who mentioned Stoke ? First year back you complete and utter imbecile - another example of your cherry picking cuntishness and you wonder why people think you aren't worth bothering with. Her's an idea - go and look up "context" and then fuck off.

Think he meant Everton and Liv. it escapes the attention of the self proclaimed geniuses on here, that Stoke, Bolton and Blackburn have all also qualified briefly for europe in recent years.... Don;t waste your breath on them Parky, bro. You mean like us once in 3 years after Robson left and that was via the intertoto?

yeh but next year when the flash is over, and we are down there with those clubs who'll be joyously telling us he's right?

Need a direct line to Sky: Neville (after showing good examples) - "Beckham, Gerrard, Lampard, Messi - are they cheats?" Yes you stupid cunt.

Well one precedent would be not qualifying for Europe in 94/95 after doing so the previous year.

What a pisser it would be if we did finish fourth but Chelsea win the CL so we have to settle for the Europa.

Would have felt the same if it was the other way round but seeing Redknapp's face is quite pleasing. I know the general opinion is that they'll still be desperate to get 4th when they play us, but I think they'll have an eye on the final which might help us.

If European qualificiation is your criteria for a decent season then 2 of the 3 seaons before Ashley took over can be defined as shite as well.

The only relevance it has to now is the legacy of debt that still exists. And by the way there were at least 4 absolutely shit seasons when Shepherd was Chairman so this "golden decade" shite really is that.

Two good managers not good directors - the fact that they appointed shit managers who failed and fleeced the club for millions proves that. Yes the bigger picture - in debt with credit running out and no chance of investment as the summer of 2003 and the following years under Souness and Roeder proved. No need for psychic ability - shit league positions and millions wasted - no hindsight required.

Still been to more games than you since 1980 as I've saiid before so that doesn't wash with me - looking down on people who might not go now for any number of legitimate reasons makes you a twat. There are also thousands of people who go to every home game whose knowledge is non-existent. There is no direct correlation no matter how much you think there is. Maybe people booed because the club was obviously going backwards in 2004 and thy're happy now because it's going forward - not that you would ever see that.

Why don't you fuck off and support the progessive cunts then.

That makes me doubt you've ever been to a European away game - to seriously think tickets are limited or anybody who wants one can't get a ticket for any game is fucking laughable. It is also shows you think spending a few quid makes you somehow superior to other people - what a fucking wanker.

they qualified by winning the carling - there are 3 places.

Virtually guaranteed to finish at least 6th - EL now 5th+6th

Still need a point or two like. Doesn't sit right with me wanting them cunts to win so I'll settle for wanting them to lose the final.

Yes and no - I think she always thought of it that way but bear in mind that the miners strike was policed by "mercenaries" from all other forces around the country who were paid shit loads of overtime. It's also alleged that troops wore police uniforms as well which though I could believe, hasn't ever been proved as far as I know. I know there was a lot of "politicalisation" of the police in the 70s with the race riots etc and even going back to 60s protests like Grovensor square but I still think the miners strike was the real watershed in demonstrating that the police act in the interests of the establishment and the government rather than the people and the law. They claim to get away with it by insisting they swear an oath to serve the Queen rather than the state but that's just window dressing in my view.

Re that David Conn article - One of the first really big away games I went to was Sheff Wed at the start of 80/81 - there were a good 10k there and though there were a lot of heed the baals and quite a bit of bother, that was the first time I really realised that the police at football were cunts. Of course in the context of the times many will argue they had to be but South Yorkshire really stood out - later West Midlands nearly matched them but I was never surprised at the way the miners strike was policed by those bastards and sadly I wasn't really surprised that Hillsborough happened. My complete distrust and lack of respect for the vast majority of British police to this day is shaped by my experiences of them mainly in the 80s and I'd say the majority of that stems from that one police force. I don't know why SY were so bad - maybe it was bad leadership or they'd had a bad time in the 70s with football but I will always think of them simply as mass murderers.

Derry fell foul of their stubborn "the ref saw it in normal play" shite. It was bad enough that Doni appealed but Ivanovic should have had the ban at least doubled for surely the stupidest "appeal" ever - what the fuck were his grounds?
