Renton

What pacifically will you be emphasizing, Renty Baby? 161442[/snapback] Why I oughta.... You two are worse than Dotbum, picking me up on evrey typo (although I'm not sure I remember pacifically). Do I have to proof read every thing I say?

Empathize then you pedantic sod!

You know you've moaned too much when the Emperor of Twisting himself picks up on it. 161428[/snapback] I just knew you were going to say that. 161431[/snapback] True though, to be fair. Just like to go on record AGAIN and register the fact that the only thing I don't like is the heat when I'm trying to sleep. Complaining about nice weather because it's too hot is for mongs. 161433[/snapback] Charvers and NUFC are the main things that make me moan; both justifiable imo. Mind you, I'm going to see this at the Edinburgh fringe in a few weeks and will no doubt emphasize with him. I must admit it is a bit stuffy at night but this is more than compensated for by the glorious days - shame I'm stuck at work in an office mind (though luckily we're air-conditioned).

Alex is right. People on here moan if it's too hot, too cold, too sunny, too cloudy, too wet, too dry, too snowy, too windy, too still, too stormy, too humid etc. JWtbh

I can't get sound so don't know if it's been explained on the clip, but surely the best thing to do in that situation would be to eject in an unpopulated area or over water?

luque, no estaras en el primer equipo por el primer partido de la temporada contra Wigan. Eso ha dicho Alan Oliver, un periodista de mierda. now he can read it and understand. 161109[/snapback] What's "un periodista de mierda"? Nothing uncomplimentary I hope!

Alternatively you could buy a subutteo game and all the extras for £365. Bring your mates round for atmosphere and voila - as good as the real thing.

I'll be surprised if Luque doesn't start tbh. 4 weeks until kick off proper, and Oliver is already talking out his arse.

To be fair, having a horizontal bar blocking your view of the goal probably won't be much of a problem this season.

Are there still STs available to pick and choose from then? And has anyone got there's yet? Regarding that row, I can't imagine it can be that bad considering it's a brand new area of the ground - I can't remember ant major obstructions up there anyway.

Agree. For 10 million, you should expect something more than Aston. We need to build a squad up and have cover for inevitable injuries too (in all positions), not spend our entire budget on one player. Regarding Milner, I was under the impression he was player of the year in an admittedly poor Villa team last year, much like Solano before him. Am I wrong about this?

Perhaps not but Talksport hit the nail on the head on Sunday when Ray Houghton (I think) pointed out that we desperately needed strikers and other clubs were well aware of this and therefore will hold us to ransom. 160965[/snapback] More mismanagement from the board room, utterly predictable and completely avoidable. Buying Ashton at this fee would mean spending about half our ST revenue on him; and that's before we take into account his wages. Surely we can't afford this? Maybe, just maybe, we should have invested in a manager who can work on a budget instead? 160974[/snapback] I think that's an impossible task given that we need strikers. Fair enough to have a pop at the board but I don't think you can blame Roeder in this instance. Especially as I don't think the SJP crowd would accept the sort of planks you'd get for a lot less. I think I'd rather have someone like Ashton, even if he will cost a fair whack of our budget. Hopefully, if we did sign him, Milner going the other way would offset the fee by around £3million. Which manager did you have in mind btw? 160979[/snapback] I agree we need a striker, I was just commenting on the fact that yet again we have made ourselves desperately short in a particular position (this time a striker, two years ago a centre back) and we are going to get shafted as a result. I'm not blaming Roeder, I think this problem should have been anticipated and avoided by the board. I don't intend to get into an argument about who we should have got as manager at this point - my choce was well documented and if he doesn't want to come to a club as big as ours then yet again I blame the board's incompetence in making us such an unattractive proposition. Regardless, Roeder would not be in my top 10 choices. It was on the radio today that Liverpool are putting a bid in for Kuyt, so they may well end up with two top class strikers while we are paying 10 million for Ashton. I'm sure no-one needs reminding that only 3 years ago we were on a par with them - now look at our repective positions and squads. Sorry for being my usual depressing self, but I don't think I'll be getting much pleasure from football this year. As for even affording Aston, personally I doubt we can afford him. This club is well and truely in the clarts now as far as money goes, and every year we see a fall in revenue accompanied by an ever growing wage bill by sick notes that don't even play for us. Couple this with a phenominal debt, and I'd say the future does not look too rosey.

10 million for Dean Ashton? Jesus wept. Are transfer fees ever going to normalise?

Did you fall asleep mid-post grandad? 159694[/snapback] Died mid post? Rob, are you still there?

Pardon?

Sod off! It's just a case of a joke being so unfunny I wasn't sure if I was missing something or not - an easy mistake to make.

I don't get it. Has she had quads?

You mean be forced to get married wrapped in bed sheets with no wedding march or piss up afterwards?

If yiz had any decency, you'd have held it somewhere convenient to everyone, like Montpellier. 159430[/snapback] Aye. Or Tynemouth.

AM I BOVVERED??? 159383[/snapback] Using archaic references to make your original joke seem fresher and more current by comparison. Like it 159384[/snapback] Well it was the fist I'd heard of it. No doubt Gemmill will start of a few new threads with the same content in the hope he is seen as being ironic.

You twat.

You and me both petal. 159359[/snapback] I've been completely shafted by A4C and I'm being forced to appeal. Newcastle HA are acting like a bunch of that word you hate. 159367[/snapback] Renton using acronyms in case the forum's bugged. 159371[/snapback] Anybody who works for the NHS will know what I mean, smart arse. Mind you.
