Gemmill

Thats the best news I've heard all day. There's this young bird I'm working with at the minute who thinks she's all high & mighty because she's been an 18-30 club rep in for the last six months. Anyway this is our last week of training before we go into the job and she's now giving it the big one because she's got a job at the Rock to start Monday and how she was only doing the training to tide her over money wise, Aye right Oh! I swear for a 20 year old lass I've never met anyone with such a bad attitude, especially towards other lasses. Of course i told her how my thoughts about her, hoping to see a few tears but she just smiled this sick little smile and said "I know", Bitch! I quite liked that Still fuck her though if she asked nicely 53852[/snapback] 20 though....you're nearly twice her age. Sick as Shearergol and his missus tbh. 53854[/snapback] As me Fatha always says "you're as old as the woman you feel" 53856[/snapback] How were his 11th birthday celebrations by the way? 53858[/snapback] Sick bastard.

Who are the decent ones? I haven't been on there in ages.

Not at all. Romario was a much bigger pain in the arse for Robson than Robert, he makes a direct comparison with them in his book. And Gemmill - both are flair franch players, who are tempermental and talk bollocks off the pitch. Class comparison tbh! 53806[/snapback] Lazy tbh.

Oh and Renton, your attempts to compare Robert to Owen and Cantona were as bad as Craig's Chelsea effort yesterday. :D

Swap deal for Faye?

I think the brief window where Matt had any chance of getting sensible advice in this thread has now closed.

Very little baggage compared to Dyer imo. It'll be interesting to see if we improve without him though. 53748[/snapback] You may or may not be right but it's a separate issue as far as I'm concerned. The problems Robert is having at Pompey highlight what Robson, Souness and Robert's team mates at Newcastle have had to put up with in my opinion. 53762[/snapback] Well you're right, but that's where good management comes into it. Remember Cantona and Ferguson? Not that I'm comparing Cantona to Robert in terms of ability, but you get the point without me going further, I'm sure. 53766[/snapback] Haway man Renton, how many managers have to try and fail with Robert before it becomes Robert's responsibility? There are individuals in life who are just unmanageable. 53770[/snapback] Obese tbh 53774[/snapback] Tit.

I once did a week's work experience at Northern Rock. My duties? Licking stamps.

Agreed, that's why I'm so annoyed. If he'd even put in half the effort most players do, he would now be the best winger in the Premiership by a country mile. Now he's just unwanted at Pompey. Well done Laurent. I remember reading how he excelled at karate. horse-riding and football as a boy but decided the team sport would be the most challenging. Just no-one told him football was the team sport, apparently. Fuck, I sound as bitter as an Alan Oliver piece. 53750[/snapback] Aye, that's what really pissed me off about Robert. All the ability in the world, but no interest in applying himself unless he felt like it. That coupled with the silly interviews etc. meant the bad eventually outweighed the good. 53755[/snapback] Fucking hell man, stop talking in cliches. It's lazy. 53758[/snapback] It's only a cliche because it's all true. Renton is seething. 53760[/snapback] Well that's your opinion. Personally I don't buy it. All players have off days. When it happens to Owen, will it be because he can't be arsed or because he's just not playing well in that match? Your just shoe-horning Robert into your preconceived stereotype - you know, exactly the type of thing you criticise Oliver for doing. Lazy. 53763[/snapback] I think you'll find that Robert is doing a pretty good job of living up to the "preconceived stereotype". No shoe-horn required. I am lazy though, so you're right there.

Renton's been lurking in this thread for a good 5 minutes now. Seething, I expect.

There was blatantly nothing special about his hair until Happy Jack pissed about with it. Which makes this thread even better.

Not a pick of bother that lad. And the best left winger in the club's history, statistically speaking, setting aside mood swings...etc. etc.

Racist tbh.

Actuaries are even more boring than accountants. Northern Rock would seem your best bet though.

Interesting. When I state an opinion, I usually give a reason for holding that opinion. If someone disagrees, that's fine. But this is a forum to engage in debate, isn't it? There is really no difference between me disagreeing with someone and another person disagreeing with me. However, if I reply I will ask someone why they believe what they believe, you know, if they say Robert or Bellamy is shite I'll ask them to substantiate that view with some facts. The problem some people have is that they don't have a reply to a question like that. All I'm after is a football debate, seems difficult to have one. Your problem in particular is that you in fact never contribute anything to any thread about the topic. You never disagree or agree with anybody, you just post one liners on different subjects. Most odd. I'm sure the majority will remember your posts as well as they remember mine. 53721[/snapback] With all due respect HTL, your brand of debate is generally to dismiss out of hand anyone that disagrees with you as someone who knows nothing. One of your classic and frequently used responses to someone that does agree with you is to applaud their post and claim that only an idiot/arsehole/dickhead/wanker could think any differently - hardly the work of someone whose only hope is for a decent football debate.

Any truth in the rumour that this Ashington encounter involved vigorous dog-washing and a bout of Monroe transferral?

Well you are just a "sheep" after all. 53492[/snapback] Moo.

I'm just following you around laughing at your jokes tbh.

Gutted I missed it now like.

I quite agree.... Love the way i'm 'not allowed' to compare us to Chelsea like.... But then again it DOES destroy their argument somewhat 53461[/snapback] To be fair like, I thought the Chelsea comparison was a load of bollocks too.

With your input that's pretty much guaranteed Gazelle boy. 53462[/snapback] WoooOOOooo get her!

I reckon this debate is set to go on for pages and be really really boring. :D
