Gemmill

From what I've heard if I bring a baby harness I could strap you into it, shrimpy.

And I thought the national press had invented those mongs that don't mind us losing as long as they see exciting football......

74217[/snapback] 74252[/snapback] Your going baldy too though aren't you? And you're fat as well 74427[/snapback] Aye, on Saturday he was the archetypal "fat bald bloke down the pub". He was wearing a hat though to hide it - a wooly hat which he wore the whole time in the pub. I reckon this is a sure sign that the hair loss has gathered pace. :razz:

Easily led tbh.

Has the thread been deleted? What were the eejits arguing about?

I don't know, how much did Pool pay for Cisse? 74369[/snapback] How is that relevant? 74405[/snapback] I think it was an attempt to paint Cisse as an injury-prone troublemaker who has never scored more than a dozen goals a year.

Ferry uber-geek tbh. 74284[/snapback] And he wonders why I call him a nerd.

Fucking hell Dan, if I had to ask Ally to explain something that basic to me, I'd definitely consider suicide.

The Kelly Brook pic gave it away. Where's Chrith thethe dayth?

No, I think they're just commenting on the Souness obituaries that have been penned in the national press like the rest of us.

Aye, I watched it. It was bizarre! Good programme though. My mate's been to see him a couple of times and reckons he's class.

Too busy praying by the sound of it.

Try www.deliaonline.com you great big German mincer! Fucking cooking thread indeed. Jesus wept.

Funnily enough it's on iTunes, which I don't think works for you. Go to Podcasts in iTunes and you'll find it in there though, if you've worked out how to use it yet.

Why is the end user expected to do all the work? 74238[/snapback] Not worth the effort tbh.

What odds though? 74190[/snapback] Evens 74191[/snapback] no one was that quick to bet me in august that Souness would match Bobby Robsons 5th place, ie the team he inherited before he set about his "improvements" 74195[/snapback] How can that be though, when "the vast majority" thought he would get us into the Champions League? Surely SOMEONE in that vast majority you speak of took the bet? 74198[/snapback] you find the post, and i'll take the money 74221[/snapback] Actually it might have been "the vast majority" that thought that Shola was the next Shearer. It's hard to keep track of all the fictitious groups you create in your head and then argue with.

Righto, blancmange boy.

74172[/snapback] Certainly cheered me up, the deluded prick. 74174[/snapback] I knew. But thank you for cheering me up by reading your posts at the old backup-board. 74178[/snapback] No bother mate. I aim to please.

Why 50%? Why not 30%, 40%, 75%? How is a feeling of concern measured? Who knows if we'll be relegated or not? Souness may be sacked tomorrow and FS appoints a manager able to get more from the players and we aren't relegated. Souness may not be sacked and we may stay up, or we may go down. Who knows? All folk can do look at is the form, the performances, over the time shithead has been manager, and if they are being sensible about it they will be worried that we may well be sucked into trouble. The fact is, from 4th, 3rd, 5th plus £50m outlay we shouldn't be even thinking about relegation, but it's what happens when a team stops scoring goals. A team stops scoring goals when their creative players are discarded and their forward play is fcuked up. I recall Arthur Cox saying this in the 80's, and he was right. 74154[/snapback] Greater than 50% means you think it's more likely than not. That's why. Simple really. I'm not measuring concern, I'm measuring strength of belief in our relegation prospects.

74173[/snapback] You mock, but Robson was picking players because they were his favourites and made no attempt to change a game using subs towards the end of his time here. FACT! I accept I was guilty of making a positive post or two about Newcastle United on there and on here like. I know you would never do anything so silly though, Renty baby.

74172[/snapback] Certainly cheered me up, the deluded prick.

For the umpteenth time: I said that Souness needed time to prove himself one way or the other. He's used that time to prove that he isn't good enough. Which doesn't make me wrong because he still needed that time to prove his inadequacy in his role as manager of Newcastle United (not Liverpool, Blackburn, or any other club he may have been at in the past). It was simply the true, 100% correct statement that "A new manager needs time to prove himself" that makes me RIGHT and not WRONG. FACTARAMA. 73891[/snapback] Gemmill, you were wrong because you thought he was the man for the job when he came here. That is all I am saying, just admit you were wrong on that aspect and I will never bring it up again. 73902[/snapback] I didn't think that you knobber! When I first saw his appointment I remember it vividly: I was abroad and I saw it on the BBC website and was as underwhelmed as anyone else. But after the initial disappointment I just thought "Ah well, he's here now. Let's see how the bloke does." Meanwhile, in Newcastle Airport's departure lounge........CARNAGE!!! 73910[/snapback] The first post I read after coming back from Barcelona (nearly 2 weeks after his appointment) was you saying something like "The more I think about it, the more I think Souness will be good for our club.....". Followed by "Anyone who doesn't think he should get AT LEAST 2 years in the job is a f*****g idiot". Anyway, this is getting beyond pointless now, and I can't prove it, so we may as well drop it. 73914[/snapback] Well Souness became manager when we were all camped out over at the backup forum at http://s7.invisionfree.com/toonchat/ so you can go over there and have a sift through the threads and find the comment you reckon Gemmill made. I'm pretty confident he didn't say that like, but it's for you to prove he did... 74142[/snapback] I'm certain he did, in fact I think it was in a thread he started. Is there anyway of checking threads Gemmill started between early and mid September, 2005? I actually haven't a clue how to do this, and can't even remember by log in..... We can't all be geeks.... 74151[/snapback] This the thread you're talking about? It wasn't by Gemmill - it was by the Turd! http://s7.invisionfree.com/toonchat/index.php?showtopic=1072 74162[/snapback] Don't know who he is tbh.

I'm pretty confident he didn't say that like, but it's for you to prove he did... 74142[/snapback] I'm pretty sure I once said that I thought he might break our duck and win something like the Carling Cup, because at one time I really did believe that. I'm not the only one though, and even some of his detractors thought that he might just spawn a trophy - the difference being they saw this as a bad thing because it would mean him staying at the club for longer.

In his time here he scored and created more goals than the rest of the midfield combined. 74089[/snapback] Interesting stuff, but not really a response to the question I asked. 74097[/snapback] I'd like to say I was surprised by your reply, but I'm not. Anyway, it is interesting that you believe someone who produced as much as Robert is a layabout. 74117[/snapback] I find it just as interesting that you believe that someone who produced as little as Robert towards the end of his time here, through a distinct lack of effort on his part, is anything but a layabout. 74119[/snapback] {Edited} I'll play along, even though I shouldn't bother..... Some questions.... 1. Have you ever worked for a boss who treats you like shite? 2. Are you able to imagine how a person feels when they are undermined and treated like shite by their boss? 3. Do you believe such a person is still able to work to the best of their ability? 4. Do you believe the team performances improved when Souness finally went 4-4-2 and started selecting Robert, only to drop off again when he slated Robert in public for his first poor performance? You claim you go to matches, you should know about point number 4. 74127[/snapback] His poor performances didn't start when Souness arrived. So it's not all down to nasty Graeme I'm afraid.
