Good article on .COM in my opinion...

I'd class: 1. Selling Woodgate without having a suitable replacement lined up for before the close of the transfer window (not that I don't think the Woodgate sale was good business). We were promised that we'd be "pleasantly surprised" with what came as a result..... 2. Bidding for Wayne Rooney when all we were effectively doing was forcing Man Utd into getting him earlier than they'd actually wanted, particularly as a replacement for Woodgate was paramount. 3. Sacking Sir Bobby Robson with less than 2 days to go to the end of the transfer window with still no Woodgate replacement (and this ensuring there was no chance of getting one either). 4. Appointing Souness, his 4th or 5th choice replacement for SBR which effectively proves that the sacking was indeed done with absolutely no forethought.. Say what you like about Shepherd being able to balance a spreadsheet and put his hand in his pocket to support his managers, those 4 decisions are heavily responsible for our position today IMO.

Wasn't it Charlton who once complained to the FA because they'd lost 4-1 at Stamford Bridge after Chelsea had through shit-loads of sand on it? On a plus note, I see Carvalho got his marching orders - can't stand that arrogant fucker! I bet he did his trademark wagging his finger at the referee in a protest of innocence, didn't he?

The most ridiculous thing you've ever come out with tbh.... and that's saying something!

Its a frightening thought isn't it! We actually went to Blackburn and basically said "No, don't sack the useless fucker, let us PAY you money to take him off your hands!" Then we pay him a fortune to fuck the club up, and reward him for fucking us up by paying HIM compensation. For what he's done he should pay all the money from his time here back and more on top of that! 83026[/snapback] Some people still don't blame Fat Fred though.... The last in a catalogue of critical errors that Shepherd made during a 4 week period in late summer 2004 which IMO have all contributed to the club's downfall...

Entertainment value(*) is somewhat increased if you actually switch the microwave on! (* - entertainment value for freaks and students...)

Isn't he a Southerner?

I don't doubt we're one of them. For a long time many of us have felt the club is rotten to the core and we've been linked with having dodgy dealings with both Paul Stretford and Willie McKay in the past... I can't think of a club more likely for it to be...

Hiddink did the other day..... http://www.toontastic.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=3414

GS: "Get your arse lying on the deck, if I can claim another squad injury I'll survive a bit longer...."

If he goes tomorrow, I'd hope he gives it to Roeder for the remainder of the season and spend that time searching for a suitable long-term replacement...

They are not naming names tomorrow, it was just on SSN that there were 3 clubs and one sounded a hell of a lot like us "A struggling premiership club, who couldnt resist a backhander" 82860[/snapback] From the BBC: If he's named them to the NOTW, they'll be revealed at some point soon IMO...

I'm slightly relieved tbh - he'd only have been spending the next 2 months in the treatment room had he been involved...

Not exactly. They signed him from Coventry and loaned him to West Ham. 82689[/snapback] Yep,, you can then loan a player off to another club, you can't loan then back to the club you bought them from though any more...

We have to carry you at the Winter Olympics like last time? 82631[/snapback] Fuck me it's the AF anti-christ!! Wacky will be targetting you next I don't doubt (when he bores of the other one...)

It may well be the case, though god knows why as it doesn't do any harm! 82582[/snapback] Agreed, it's a bloody stupid rule

I reckon we'll lose 2-1.

From this months Viz: Winning a two-team tournament against a nation with a smaller population once in every ten attempts, then never shutting up about it makes me proud to be british. 82565[/snapback] Remind us again... you're a Scotland fan aren't you? 82569[/snapback] No....he's a twat who tries to covert controversy but fails miserably.....

I remember Radio 1 doing a phone in the day after Jason Lee moaned that he was only crap because people took the piss out of his hair. They wanted people to dedicate applicable songs to him and 'Pineapple Head' fit in a treat...

he's added....

I've got a Panasonic 9-pin dot matrix in the cupboard if you want it?

Think you're right on that loaning issue...

And by playing John Beck-style long ball football we make sure the midfield doesn't get the ball too often... 82427[/snapback] What concerns me about that comment is that some people want Martin O'Neill as manager 82446[/snapback] He's hyped up by the media. 82471[/snapback] You're agreeing with me on something????

what would you like to chat about ??? 81990[/snapback] Actually I'm just off to watch Celeb BB , but feel free to put the world to rights in this liddle thread 81995[/snapback] oops...forgot ...me too 82000[/snapback] Got my 'My Name is Earl' catch up to watch at 10.30 82004[/snapback] Jason Lee, absolute legend! 82429[/snapback] 82457[/snapback] ... the pinapple head it spins and it spins like a number I hold....

Because you're the protector of all things furry? 82301[/snapback] Apart from cows, pigs and sheep. 82370[/snapback] Word of advice, don't eat the furry pigs. 82373[/snapback] 82430[/snapback] What about hairy pie? 82437[/snapback] thats right....bring it down to your level !!! 82451[/snapback] The rest of us are on our tiptoes trying to reach that level tbh. 82459[/snapback] Apart from Wacky who's evidently on stilts!
