Have to love the bit where they say the Beeb shouldn't link it to news about the club because they've sacked him
-
To be fair I largely agree with that but it's a slightly different argument to the amount not being much. I know the £80m has to be viewed in that context too. I do think the manager takes a hefty bit of responsibility for not even looking like turning things around though. You'd think a half-decent one would be able to vastly improve on Charver, even before you take the last two transfer windows into account

Had a woodwork teacher who was a bit 'touchy-feeling' with the lasses. Thought it was bad at the time but in retrospect it was fucking shocking seeing as this was middle school
-
That's insane
-
I think if you do it right, i.e. with the aim of improving the squad over the long term then it isn't a flawed policy as such. Look at Spurs for a great example of that. If you're doing it to make money / just keep the club ticking over then it's problematic. Adds to the general malaise borne out of total lack of ambition as well as being unsustainable in terms of maintain the quality of the squad. I'm under no illusions as to the core problem but it doesn't exonerate the under-performing manager

Listen to David Lightman there
-
It's both. You could argue we had a poor squad before those two windows but I think you could equally argue we didn't have one of the worst 3 squads in the league. Then in those two windows we've spent more than our genuine rivals but we're 3rd bottom. Some of that has to be on the manager
-
We spent more than the rest of the Premier League though

Johnson can have a go at being a silly girl if he gets sent down.

Been listening to this recently: https://www.discogs.com/DJ-Sprinkles-Midtown-120-Blues/master/223128 Pure class. Don't think there's an upload anywhere though. CD changes hands for silly money like.

Silly of me to assume a professional footballer might be doing the right thing
-
The pressure was off then though
-
You consider reading a book to be too much of a challenge though
-
Maybe he fucking hates Johnson. Maybe he thought it was the right thing to do. Or both
-
MASSIVE lads fan
-
Nah, I'm not having that like. I appreciate the club has allowed the squad to decline prior to last summer but it's still loads of money over the last two windows. We spent more than the entire Bundesliga in January.
-
Aye £80m is fuck all, even though it's roughly what the world record transfer fee is. The utter fucking shite some people talk in defence of the manager is staggering
-
I see he's been claiming Beyoncé is a MLF anarl.

Who was the kid on here (or a previous incarnation of Toontastic) who started the 50 Cent pisstaking by posting loads of stuff about him and another rapper and their war of words? It was hilarious how seriously he took it all. Old skool
-
Only time CT got on one of those in the 80s it was for 10 nights in Estartit
-
I don't even know what that means

Thought King Kunta was a Pardew reference
