Gemmill

Did you really expect else than a win against a team three leagues below? Are you really happy to see this kind of rubbish performances? Of course it is nice to be in the next round, but it would also be nice not looking like a League 2 team (and a bad one that is). 85599[/snapback] Since when has the performance been important in a cup match? Tell the mackems how easy it should be to beat teams from the lower leagues. Or Boro - second replay in two rounds for that lot. Or any other Premiership team that gets knocked out by a team in the lower leagues. The ONLY thing that matters in the cup is whether or not you win - yes, it would have been nice to see a scintillating performance, but how often does a Premiership team go away in the FA Cup to a lower league team, and completely blitz them or play them off the park? Not very often. It's just the way people whine on as if the performance has ruined their weekend, when in actual fact, we won and are in the next round that gets on my tits. 85698[/snapback] Normally I would agree with you about performance not being important in a cup match. But the problem is every performance we have is now completely unacceptable; you would hope these matches might be an opportunity for us to shine and get some confidence back, but that's just not the case at all. We now have a full strength team out (barring Owen), and we're still shit. And the manager is making excuses before a ball is even kicked. Ask yourself a question about yesterday - if you didn't know the respective league positions of each time at that match, could you guess which was which? Like I said before, you strike me as incredibly easily pleased, and have now even resorted to comparing our results with the mackems to support you argument (have you visited the SMB recently btw, they are not happy). Fact is, given this performance, I can see no way we'll beat Man City on Wednesday. And I can see no way we'll progress in the cup if we meet anyone form above division 2. 85706[/snapback] I'm not comparing our results with Sunderland's, I'm just pointing out that it is nowhere near as easy to beat a team from the lower divisions as common sense would suggest. I suspect you know exactly what I meant as well tbh. And I don't believe that you would normally agree with me about result being more important than performance in the Cup. The fact is, if there's something negative to focus on, you'll focus on that and ignore the positive (i.e. the ONLY thing that matters in the cup, the result). Ask Arsenal fans whether they'd have preferred a great performance against Bolton, or to be in the draw tomorrow. That's not me comparing our results with Arsenal's just for the record.

he's an expensive foreigner though, so he should be the real deal, as a lot of people said when he signed 85701[/snapback] Not me, I just hoped he would be good. And definitely not you, you KNEW from the outset, right?

Sky +ed it. Any good?

He is absolute dogshit like.

We're in the draw on Monday, you miserable twats.

I haven't been tripped up. I stand by what I said about Sven following the friendlies because he was idiotic with the substitutions and he did used to stand there motionless etc. But the bloke DOES have a very good CV and I think he'd make a very good choice for manager of NUFC - much better than some of the other choices on offer. I'm not the only one to have bashed Sven when England had played who would lnow ove to see the bloke as NUFC manager. If you want to see someone being tripped up, look at the cobblers you've written in this thread about studying Sven's CV and about O'Neill not being a long ball merchant.....only to discover that you didn't know what you were on about. 85460[/snapback] In fairness Renton only said Celtic were easy on the eye, although he never actually stated which one he fancied most. 85528[/snapback] Who said anything about being fair?

You only believe in all that Norse mythology shite because it's the only way you can rationalise how you ended up as an elf tbh.

I've had one of the orange ones. Fucking disgusting. It's not a nice chocolate orange flavour, it's like really strong marmalade. Minging.

She is dog rough. Mind she'd fit in well down the Bigg Market with her you've-been-tango'd look.

You would though. With Sven. Steam those rimless specs up.

So Gemmill you reckon someone who, with players of Englands class let alone have the numptys we are fielding, is clueless when it comes to tactics and formations and isn`t much of a motivator in your own words.. is the right man for this club? 85376[/snapback] Correct, you sad bastard. Listen the bloke has wound me up in the past as England coach, but he gets results, which above all, is what we need. And given the other people on the shortlist, I'd be very happy to have him at NUFC. 85407[/snapback] Wasnt hard to find, i remember all the Sven bashing that goes on after the majority of England games... I can see why you want him though, as he certainly follows the tradition of your other favourite manager Mr Souness in being clueless about tactics and having terrible motivational skills... 85412[/snapback] Exactly. If I can't have Graeme, I want Sven.

Next time I tell you you should be in a straitjacket, THIS is why, ok? Star Trek!? 85366[/snapback] I'm not talking about warping around space meeting aliens, I'm referring to a unified planet not divided by superstitious nonsense, you dickweed! You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one... 85370[/snapback] And yet I'M the fucking dickweed! Beam me up Renty.

Bums to the wall now you've turned up tbh.

Aye, Cisse's been charged with assaulting his pregnant wife last night.

Was there nothing else on? 85358[/snapback] I bet you were watching Nip/Tuck at the time, you big hom! 85359[/snapback] At least I wouldn't have been watching Corrie.

Was there nothing else on?

In the same vein; all day at work and out in the pollution then going to bed? Your bedsheets must smell lush. 85268[/snapback] more times than not, I shower in the evenings too 85323[/snapback] Two showers a day is pretty excessive imo. Not exactly environmentally friendly either! 85329[/snapback] Excessive or not, at least I'm clean.... And I've never professed to be an eco-warrior - fuck this "bad for the environment" shit, if I didn't shower twice daily, the aromas coming off me would be a damned sight more damaging.... 85331[/snapback] Can I just distance myself from this comment please? Whilst I like to shower in the morning, and would shower in the morning having bathed/showered the night before, I don't actually need to do so to avoid stinking! Craig, it sounds like you've got issues if you need to shower twice a day to avoid being a ring-minger!

Hanging on my every word tbh.

Yeah, but how much is Earl's court, the land it's built on, and the building of a brand new stadium going to cost - bearing in mind Earl's court is 10 minutes walk from Stamford bridge? And if it were that simple, why didn't the evil Santa Clause do it - he rarely misses a trick? 85327[/snapback] Aye, Rob, even if it was a long term loan, the payments on it would be huge (WAY more than what we're making) - I'm assuming they would sell off the land that Stamford Bridge is on, or at least if it was going to be used for property development, it would be something that Abramovich would manage personally rather than keep on the books of the club - in other words, it's not going to be a source of revenue for them. The Earl's Court venture is going to cost them a fortune and is going to be a drain presumably for at least the next 2-3 years on Abramovich's cash, and they're not going to be showing a profit in that time, that's for sure, not while they're still on a limited capacity at Stamford Bridge. If they have got a plan for the club to become self-sufficient, it must be a very cunning one.

I've got dry skin and that would be seriously bad for me, so there! 85237[/snapback] Urgh, flakey boy! Renton's got the lurgy! 85242[/snapback] It's like being back at school. Dr Noisewater, I put emollients on at night if I need them! Also I wash my sheets 1-2 times a week, is this OK? 85250[/snapback] You probably need to cos by the sound of things you go to bed covered from head to toe in an inch thick vaseline!
