Boyo, I reckon you need to half the incoming transfer fees for all those players tbh.

Now that's naughty!

Might have a few quid on Bolton tonight in a "soften the blow" bet. Having said that, I'm sick of losing money backing against Boro.

Me too, I'll be loaded!

For me Gudjohnsen is among the best players in the league. His ability to attack from just about anywhere is awesome. If Mourinho insists on not playing him up front and then brings in the likes of Ballack, then perhaps he is on his way. I'd be in like a shot. 130853[/snapback] Someone was saying Man United are sniffing around him. There'll be better teams than us in for him, I'm sure, but I agree, the bloke is class.

Not convinced on Pennant and Johnson, but I'd have Carlton Cole here. And if Roeder is the new boss, at least we know we'll have a coach that could hopefully get something out of them.

Actually Shepherd promised a full time manager in charge before the end of the season. He also promised a top flight manager with european experience. He promises a lot and doesn't deliver. Remember the big surprise when we sold Woodgate and didn't buy Rooney. Of all the managers appointed by FFS we have Dalglish Gullit Robson and Souness. His record on this isn't outstanding. I think he is great at backing his managers with money but not on doing the right thing with managers. 130839[/snapback] LM is away selecting his weapon.......I can reveal that he's opted for the stick marked "HINDSIGHT".

Shepherd's proudest day as chairman will be when he gets to sit at a press conference and announce Shearer as the new gaffer. And he'll genuinely think that all the fans are loving it too. And unfortunately, the vast majority of Shearer-obsessed thickos probably will be.

Do you think he's taking his time because he's actually doing anything though. I reckon that picture that someone of him lying in a Hawaiian shirt watching telly is probably closer to the truth tbh. I'd love to be pleasantly surprised, but I don't think we're going to be.

I can take it man. I'm positively loaded!

Two. O'Neill and Ranieri. What about you?

so have we all accepted that its gonna be roeder on his own permanently then? woopee 130791[/snapback] I've got a slim hope that there'll be a Houllier attached to it, but failing that then yeah, I think it's Roeder.

The ransom is 1,000 chunky kit kats. Or you'll never see the cats again.

I've got one of the two cats in orange boiler suits, and me stood behind them with a balaclava on and an AK in hand. Any good?

Aye, I've had enough of the waiting. It's not like we're waiting because Shepherd is out "scouring the globe" either. He's made his decision, so let's just get it over with and end all the speculation, which is getting on my tits. Having said that, Talksport are know-nowts for the most part.

Great Expectation gap?

Steve Bennett is a fucking disgrace. He's turned down two blatant Chelsea penalties in the last 5 minutes. Bald wanker!

They've clocked out for the season, I reckon. I can't see them finding new vigour on Sunday.

...and Chelsea are clearly not interested. 6th is looking to be out of the question, but if they look like this on Sunday, 7th could well be.

Brock mate, we don't care about this Angel bloke.

Just want to make it clear that this thread wasn't NSFW when I started it. Perverts!

I was just about to post a photo of a broken record in answer to Gem, until I saw this... Maybe Fred was enjoying it too, like the rest of us...don't touch it if it ain't broke 130659[/snapback] Broken record? You've got a fucking cheek!

premature.... strange bit in bold too... anyway, he's done exactly the right thing saying nothing, while the team was winning and had a chance of getting into europe...or do you think he should have disturbed that ??? 130631[/snapback] To be fair, when has he ever worried about disrupting a season with sackings? I don't really believe he's been doing this intentionally so as to avoid disrupting things with an appointment. 130636[/snapback] you on drugs !!!! You don't disrupt something by making sackings !! it's already disrupted ... I think it WAS intentional , thats why I made the post... 130638[/snapback] Well I think you're wrong. And if you've any sense you make the sacking in the close season, not 4 games into a new one. There's a reason that the press and (most) fans criticise Shepherd for that you know - it's because it's reactive rather than pro-active, and also because it's moronic.

Oh aye, I forgot about Owen. He's the only thing that'll get my fella to watch a game. 130620[/snapback] Your bloke doesn't like football?! Is he some sort of hom?? 130621[/snapback] He likes footballers, that's got to be worth something? 130623[/snapback] I'll give you that one.....I think.
