I find that really unpleasant for some reason. Have you ever done a bird from behind who's got an odour wafting from her crack? Not pleasant. 190904[/snapback] bad craic that.

Say it ain't so Bobby! Anyway, I've given you a nickname, you're not allowed leave now. 190896[/snapback] it aint so have a good weekend. ps manc mag 190900[/snapback]

Good idea, I'll nominate John Paul II. 190867[/snapback] How are you gonna prop him up then? With a poll?

It's untried, but it's got to be worth a go. The cynic in me says give him a 3 year deal and sell them as a pair at the end of the season, obviously that could go horribly wrong. 190855[/snapback] quality disclaimer.

Long shorts...jumpers for goalposts.... Jesus wept...Middlesbrough have gone to the wall and started up again in that time and they've won something. Chairman seems like a canny bloke an all. 190770[/snapback] Looked like he'd just been let out of borstal when he first bought the club mind. 190773[/snapback] Perhaps thats the answer. A stretch on bread and water couldnt do our fat cunt any harm. 190776[/snapback] I can just imagine him kicking the shit out of Brian Barwick a la Ray Winston in Scum "Right Barwick you bastard, I'm the daddy now!" 190779[/snapback]

Papa don't preach. 190748[/snapback] GERLD!

possibly not, but with a smalll squad, and having already shelled out 15-16m quid. Thats the point. We knew, or should have done, that the Souness legacy was this, or at least some of us said so. We would be better off if Bellamy and Robert were still here, agreed ? And considering he wanted them out so desperately we got 4m quid for the 2 of them, who can possibly defend THAT ? 189826[/snapback] You do understand the Chairmen has to OK all sales right. Souness didn't do it behind the fat ones back. 189832[/snapback] you do understand that chairman are supposed to allow their managers to run the playing side of the club, right ? So, if he DID veto any transfers on playing grounds, which appears to be what you are indicating you want, you would have a lot to say wouldn't you ? Seriously, I have my doubts, it seems the vast amount of people on here don't seem to understand this ..... nor the financial state of the club, mostly brought about by the last manager, despite it being as clear as the glass in front of your face. 190603[/snapback] In any business it is commonplace for the head of the business to have final say on major investments. In some cases that investment is their idea. In others not.Responsible management dictates that this has to happen. Responsible chairmen also employ responsible and well qualified staff. That is their duty, not only to the business but to the shareholders. He has failed on both counts. I accept he needs to give managers the ability to decide but he has gone into this issue far too recklessly and it is absolutely nobodies fault bit his own that the 'bottomless pit' is no more. 190614[/snapback] He hasn't failed. We have been the 5th top club in the country over the past decade, and appeared regularly in europe, filling the ground, and buying major international players. There are 86 clubs who have done worse than us, including one 12 miles down the road. Since this board took over this club in 1992 they have picked it up and established it back to one of the top clubs in the country. Fact. I'm not interested in stupid skyboy type views. 190671[/snapback] Read it again please. His responsibility is to emply decent people. So now you are saying Souness wasnt a failure and telling Bobby he had one year left wasnt crass management precipitating the shit we are in now?Liverpool were as badly off as us but took decisive action. He had the chance ot address that earlier in the year and failed. Freddie didnt take decisive action at all other than in telling Bobby he could piss off and if that isnt mismanagement I dont know what is. 190712[/snapback] This is what i've always said and is the perfect yarstick by which to judge Fat Fred. Us and Pool were practically identical in terms of league position, performance over recent seasons, and swap Gerard from there to here and we'd have been safely ahead of them... Their chairman did his job, sacked a manager (who'd won more than ours) at the right time and scoured europe for a world class coach and gave him a pre season to work with and they're now leagues ahead of us. Our chairman kept a manager who was now past it, then hamstrung him with his moronic comment in the press, then sacked him with no backup plan. Then made the worst appointment i think i've ever seen, including paying Blackburn for a manager they were about to sack. Then kept this dick on after a season of abject shite, then kept him on again when he started shite, then gave him milions to waste, then sacked him with wait for it...no back up plan! Anyone who looks at Pool and us now and doesn't blame Fat Fred is Fat Fred! 190737[/snapback] Now thats what a Chronicle article should read like at the moment.

I ask you this though...and I have absolutely no knowledge of who the top five are (though I assume no1 is Manure)...I bet all of the other top four teams have won something in that time. And I'll bet the sixth top club has won something an all. Whoever they might be. That statistic alone is the one that those other top clubs measure themselves by.

Pud's face'll end up like a plasterers radio at this rate.

I hope PP doesnt expect a kiss afterwards then.

The ladies get nowt cos it tastes of rust tbh.

We NEED a blowjob forum

Choon! Up there with 'I've Got The Power' by Snap & 'Cantaloupe' by US3 190292[/snapback] What you laughin at like?! It's alreet that man! Hadnt heard it for time before today. Everybody dance now tbh.

C&C Music Factory-Things That Make You go Hmmm

Santana-Oye Como va

One of my favourite lines from Heller: "When I read something saying I've not done anything as good as Catch-22 I'm tempted to reply, 'Who has?'" 190147[/snapback] Haven't heard that before, quality tbh! Has anyone read anything else (other than Catch 22) by him btw? 190152[/snapback] Catch 1 - Catch 21 arent up to much tbf.

I don't know, are we talking about a McJob? Very close call for me. I totally see what you're saying, it's just with the state of education (and as you pointed out upbringing) the way it is, it's hard to hold them responsible for any action. There's been reasonably popular cases made on here that people should be protected from their own stupidity with regards to Big Brother voting, I don't see how they can be expected to grasp the consequences of this. They're not in a position to walk away, either, when they realise they've fucked up (which I'd imagine is pretty fucking fast ). 190133[/snapback] FACT: During my time at Burger King, the broiler exploded and two fry vats caught fire. It might as well have been Saigon tbh. I loved the smell of egg-barms in the morning.

I knar that. My original post made the very clear distinction. I mean anyone joining up now-they must want their fucking heads reading tbh. In fact, the very fact theyre joing up now should be grounds for a discharge in the first place for mental health reasons.

Am I wrong in assuming that we're talking about the average 18 year old chav? And that they couldn't possibly fathom the consequences of their actions? Sorry if I have the wrong idea of your armed services. 190070[/snapback] I'd agree a lot of the intake fits that profile. Having said that I think that it's practically impossible not to see/hear of the horror stories going on in Iraq. Even the average chav is exposed to that and is consequently aware of what they'd be getting themselves in for (broadly speaking). It's not the same thing as having say strong parental guidance or excellent alternative employment prospects etc I grant you, but a choice between being exposed to hostile fire and working in a minimum wage job......I still think the minimum wage job has to be preferable tbh. Basically all I'm saying is that with coverage of the war as it is, you have to accept that there is some level of informed consent there for people voluntarily signing up. Thats not to say I dont sympathise with anyone who loses their life in combat.

A life is a life is a life tbf. amen.
