Renton

OK, so which brave toontasticker fancies risking their lives with another hoax?

I think Hamza should be committed to life in a mental institution. I was listening to an interview with him the other day, where amongst other loony things he said the loss of the space shuttle Columbia was proof that the US is going to disintegrate. Apparently, Allah himself broke up the shuttle and the fact it happened over Texas is extremely significant (the fact that this was it's flight path is not significant however).

What's his nationality got to do with it? Did it stop him managing Wycombe or Leicester? Also, there would be more media attention attached to the England job. 91244[/snapback] Do Wycombe and Leicester represent England like? Jesus Renton, I would have thought the point I was making was fairly obvious. Do you think Alex Ferguson, as a proud Scot, would want the England job? Have you got completely the wrong end of the stick and thought I was talking about whether he would fancy the Newcastle job? 91251[/snapback] Aye, wrong end of the stick. Soz like.

I've got to say, it's gone way, way, ott on N-O now. Hitzfeld is being treated like a messiah - ffs he hasn't even been offered the job yet! But worse, if anyone has the gall to sugest someone other than Hitzfeld may be suitable as manager, they are then "educated" about how great he is! Ve haff vays of vaking you think.

And the quotes look like the scrap book of a love-struck teenager. Full of such gems as "Thanks for everything Ottmar." (Bayern Munich Fans' banner). Hardly Bobby Robson standard. Seriously, I'm not knocking the efforts the author(s) have made, but it is a teeny bit OTT.

Have you seen the PDF dossier? Jesus wept! 30 pages split into 3 columns (making it almost unreadable). It looks like the product of a deranged stalker tbh. We love you Ottmar.

A quick glance revealed misuse of 'fancy language' (HTT's trademark tbh), that could be quite embarrassing if it gets serious attention. 90876[/snapback] Very true.

Promoting their Get Souness site?

typical southern propaganda by a probable cockney manu supporter or similar who just delights in running us down, because they are shit scared of us getting the manager we will one day get and give them all a good hiding, and dwarf all of their "big clubs" Wanker. 90835[/snapback] That's a bit paranoid to be honest, but they love patronising us. Btw, I spotted that you're NE5 over on N-O, the use of Rose-tinted glasses gave it away!

I had a similar dweeby incident aged about 11 when two classmates reckoned I was wrong about Canberra being the capital of Australia. They asked the teacher who agreed with them it was Sydney. I said to the teacher 'Look it up if you don't believe me', so they did. No wonder the education system is in the state it is tbh. 90823[/snapback] That reminds me of a film where somebody had to answer what the capital of Brazil was, and they answered Rio incorrectly (the answer being Brazilia ). I guess that's not very interesting. 90827[/snapback] Brasilia 90834[/snapback] Mmmmm, bras..... I love it when threads go o/t.

Wtf?

That's not precocious tbh, that's being an anorak (I was going to say anal but....). Anyway, what's it they say? "Those who can't do, teach. Those who can't teach, teach teachers". The latest teacher adverts have flipped that round now like, but we all know it's true. I'd hate to be a teacher in a comp now though - nightmare.

I saw that on N-O. Main impressions are it has a few innaccuracies and its pretty patronising. It's largely correct though unfortunately, at least about the finances if not this Geordie Nation bollocks.

For a lot of fans, a huge celebration that he's gone. 90798[/snapback] Not a lot I hope. That's fairly twattish tbh.

Yep, a photo of every goal or celebration. Which as you can imagine is a bit boring! o/

Rentonesque pessimism tbh let's appoint him or whoever first eh? 90784[/snapback] Oy Alex, my pessimism was well founded! I'm perfectly willing to wait and see who we appoint before I predict he's going to be a failure.

I still think O'Neill is a more realistic proposition tbh. Mind, I'd be delighted with either. Fair play to the N-O lads, but as you say, if I was Hitzfeld I'd feel very uncomfortable by their campaign. At the end of the day, fans don't appoint managers and they certainly can't force people to join the club. I think he might be bemused and offput by the attention tbh.

Shit name for a greasy spoon like.

Isegrim's quite knowledgeable, so that's one difference straight away 90730[/snapback] Very true.

Fingers crossed then. For some reason I am more optimistic than last time that Shepherd will get the appointment right this time. That's probably misfounded though.

Well, that's the same what NJS said a couple of times. IMHO the reasons of getting Hitzfeld are much better when we tried to sign Rooney, because of the lack of competition. That's unless by moving for Hitzfeld we force Ferguson to rethink his retirement plans or Arsenal parting company with Wenger etc. But as I said to NJS a couple of times, not moving for a top class manager because is an absolutely absurd idea. Basically would always have to settle for second best because of fear that a manager or player could get attracted by a 'bigger' club. And Hitzfeld has no track record of breaking contracts or sticking to his word. Far from it. 90717[/snapback] What do you thinkis the likelihood he would come Isegrim, assuming Shepherd contacted him of course, and the finances were favourable?

Yeah, but the smallest club gets the most callers for some reason. In that horrible inbred mackem/north yorkshire accent too. If they can't be arsed to go to matches, they shouldn't phone in imo.
