Almost choked on my coffee there fist

You'd think I even mention it the way he goes on though. I never do because I couldn't give the first fuck about being a solicitor, anyone who's met me would tell you that. It's a job like any other. Gemmill gets the same stick for being an accountant and I know for a fact it's the last thing Scott's arsed about. He doesn't like teachers either like so we could be here all night with this list. Don't forget about the fancy dan lecturers. And don't get him started on bleeding heart liberal pc brigade do gooders.

Hmm leazesmag proved to be talking shite and contradicting himself yet again. I'm surprised manc mag and others still engage with him. There really is no point in biting. It's all lies, contradictions and putting words in others' mouths to support his tired old crusade. This place is way more fun with him on ignore. Annoyingly, I still can't help but get drawn into it from time to time as ignore doesn't hide quotes.

i think he ignores everyone except for the voices in his head tbh

Why did you not say owt then? strange that isn't it. and that's where leazesmag's whole "i was right, the rest of you were wrong" argument falls apart. the only difference between leazesmag and everyone else is he thought shepherd was doing a great job. i'm sure he'd secretly admit that, just like the rest of us, he was excited at the prospect of a billionaire owner with deep pockets coming in. he didn't know ashley would be shit from the start. no one did. but it was equally obvious to everyone as soon as it started going tits up. it's not like he's some mastermind that called it from the beginning, so why he continues this crusade to persuade to prove to the rest of the board that he was right and everyone else has come around to his way of thinking is beyond me. the only thing i agree with leazesmag about is that shepherd was a better chairman than ashley. but with ashley, you're talking about one of the worst owners out there. that doesn't mean that shepherd was the greatest either. as supporters, we were all entitled to hope someone with more of a clue might take over and do a better job after shepherd's decisions to sack SBR then hire souness, roder and allardyce effectively turned a top 5 side into also rans.

well, we use it in the geordie boot boys song so it must be right

that's actually less watered down than i imagined. still don't expect anything other than stonewall question deflection from lamb's arse

Surely not? What about if you cross your legs or something? Reminds me of an episode of Friends i'm talking knee length shorts, not those skin tight 80s footballer efforts. no chance of anything popping out in those puppies. well, not with a todger as small as mine anyway

thread hijack alert....going commando in shorts is fine but suit trousers are not advised. i forgot to pack a spair pair of boxers after a session spinning at the gym once and was soaked through with sweat so had to go commando on the train home. the wool trousers on your bare arse does not make for comfortable sitting, nto to mention the chafing from the zip!

These are the games Bafra could be winning single handed. he needs to play a few games without picking up an injury first! when his return date btw? anyone know?

Fucking gash mood. Just back at work after a 5 week sabbatical and a week holiday in Ibiza. Weather shite and my boss, who is new, is cracking the whip. Haven't even had chance to catch up on my emails yet. Tosser.

Exactly the kind of game we normally lose. It'd be nice to see us bucking the trend and carrying on the recent form.

They like to be quirky so James Blake will probably get it

there's be a lot of fuss made about this lad, i think largely because he's potentially the most exciting player we signed this summer, but you'll have to excuse me if i don't start beating one off over him just yet. early days obviously but i don't think he's looked that amazing so far. still, he shold improve with ben arfa in front of him. a new striker for him to thread balls through would have been nice too. i wonder what he makes of having to provide service for best, ba, shol and lovenkrands.

We didn't even ket a kuqi like panic buy this time. Not that that's a bad thing

Dont quite understand what "read" means. But crowds have taken a 3,000 hit I meant for a reason...stupid iPad. The reason being people are sick of the direction the club had taken under ashley

Crowds have taken a big hit for a read on CT. I can only see hem getting worse as long as he's in charge too.

12-15 goals in the league would be a canny return frm a player that clearly isn't rated by th majority that have seen him play.

We weren't in great shape when ashley took charge. There's no doubt about that. We had 3 or 4 poor seasons where everything sir bobby built up was thrown away after a series of stupid sackings and appointments. Hiring and backing souness turned out to be a massive disaster for the club, which was exacerbated by appointing roeder then allardyce. That all said, we were better off then because for all the previous owners' poor decision making, at least they gave a shit about the club. They wanted us to do well. They wanted the fans to be excited about going to the match, i honestly don't think Ashley gives a toss about any of that.

I've never heard of a Chinese dish with cheese like. I love a sag panneer mind.

Fucking love cheese me. Montgmery cheddar owns all others. The dogs balls for sarnies. For crackers, post meal, I like a mixed bag - a nice ripe choume, a French goat cheese covered in ash, maybe something Swiss like a gruyere. Or something similar like a comte. A nice ripe piece of Camembert that oozes so much it can be spread straight on to a baguette is one of life's pleasures.

Someone close to the lad really should have seen it cuming.

My eyes.

The basis of the strategy is sound but in practice it hasn't worked. I don't think there would be too many complaints if he'd banked most of the 35m but made a modest investment of say 10m on transfer fees. All he really had to do was sign a couple of loan players for where we're short if he couldn't agree transfer fees to fit into his budget. We're really not asking for a lot. Just something.

Sign of the times and the success in lowering of expectations that some are pinning their hopes on this lad. None of our current strikeforce are really good enough to be first choice striker at a big premiership club, that's obvious by the fact none of them have taken the number 9 shirt. That's not to say Best can't improve or be a useful player for us. His earned some respect through his goals. A lack of options means a run in the team is inevitable. Hopefully he'll up his game in terms of overall play, not getting caught offside and scoring goals. The worrying thing is one of him or Shola does bang in a few goals and then Ashley decides he doesn't need to replace Carrol in the next window either. He probably thinks we're so stupid we'll forget about the 35m if he puts it off long enough.
