Craig

Have you got a link for this Craig? Are you suggesting Boumsong was not a Souness signing? I seem to remember Robson being linked with Boumsong but he wasn't interested. 85721[/snapback] I haven't got a link to hand, no, but then we've discussed it previously and I wasn't the only one to voice that opinion.. Boumsong was indeed a Souness signing, I've not said differently - but this club made moves to approach him before Souness was anything to do with the place. 85723[/snapback] So it is just your opinion then. The way you put it it makes it look like a fact that we wanted to sign him. And does asking about a player and sending scouts definitely mean we want to sign him or are we just checking him out? I would like to know cos obviously I am not as Knowledgeable as you. 85729[/snapback] 'Opinion' was the wrong choice of word there me thinks. Anyhow seeing as you both asked me nicely.....

Is it true Souness was moaning about the pitch after the game?? He was fucking praising the thing (and rightly so) before it. Proves what a contradictory fucker he truly is!

Whilst that comment is fucking hilarious, knowing our luck the useless waste of space will have an absolute blinder of a world cup and show our coaching staff up for being an absolute bigger piece of shit than they are... On second thoughts, nah.....this is Boumsong we're talking about

Best photoshop job I've ever seen if it is... More than plausible, all dependant on the angle that the shot has been taken from.

And 100% of everyone else playing shitter than shit!

These are genuine clips from council complaint letters: 1. My bush is really overgrown round the front and my back passage has fungus growing in it 2. He's got this huge tool that vibrates the whole house and I just can't take it anymore. 3. It's the dogs mess that I find hard to swallow. 4. I want some repairs done to my cooker as it has backfired and burnt my knob off. 5. I wish to complain that my father hurt his ankle very badly then he put his foot in the hole in his back passage. 6. And their 18 year old son is continually banging his balls against my fence. 7. I wish to report that tiles are missing from the outside toilet roof. I think it was bad wind the other night that blew them off. 8. My lavatory seat is cracked, where do I stand? 9.

Owen and Earnshaw up front and our ability to play no other tactic except the long ball?? A sure-fire recipe for goals....

I really hope that line doesn't come back to haunt us I'd have said there's no way Man Utd wouldn't have beaten Burton first time out, but they didn't... 85139[/snapback] Told you 85800[/snapback] Indeed you did - although I never said they would beat us...

Because he's a useless waste of the club's money? Pretty much what I expect from the shithead manager, as it's all he's done since he walked through the door. 85693[/snapback] He is absolutely shite, agreed..... But this club wanted to buy him before they made Graeme Souness manager! 85705[/snapback] No, Bobby didn't want him even for free. This is a monumental cockup from Souness. I'm interested that people are now having selective memories - I seem to remember that a sizable proportion on here thought he was a great signing (if overpriced) less than a year ago. Probably the same people that chanted that cringeworthy "Boom" every time he touched the ball. Reminds me of the Emperor's new clothes really. 85707[/snapback] I repeat... this club wanted to buy him... Souness may have been the manager when he actually signed, but an approach was made to Rangers in the wake of the Woodgate sale.....before Robson had been sacked!

They'll be bidding for Chris Sutton next!

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! 85349[/snapback] OK, I was being a bit dramatic, given Renton's ridiculous comment about it being environmentally unfriendly, but I do like to have a shower in the evening so that I go to bed clean and I most defintely do so every morning without fail... Fucking hell, how can 15 minutes under a shower twice a day have that much of a detrimental effect on the environment?

What the fuck are you going on about?

Permanent deal - free transfer... Citeh fans are livid, Liverpool fans are ecstatic - am I missing something?

...but i will point out AGAIN that from the outset, I've never 'supported' Souness....

Leazes has screwed up the quotes then? (Think you'll find there is a limit to the amount of referential quotes you can have!
