Craig

This the 'Keegan thread' part 2?

Are you joining in?

17 games played, we're (give or take one game) halfway through the season and current stands are: P17 W7 D4 L6 GF18 GA17 GD+1 Pts25 Pos 10th Below is a list of the games remaining, how I think they'll end up and how I see our final position being. Liverpool (A) Lose 3-0 Charlton (H) Win 2-1 Spurs (A) Lose 2-1 Boro (H) Win 1-0 Fulham (A) Draw 2-2 Blackburn (H) Win 2-0 Man City (A) Draw 1-1 Portsmouth (H) Win 2-0 Aston Villa (A) Win 2-1 Everton (H) Win 1-0 Bolton (H) Draw 1-1 Man Utd (A) Lose 3-1 Liverpool (H) Draw 0-0 Charlton (A) Win 2-1 Spurs (H) Draw 1-1 Boro (A) Lose 3-2 Wigan (H) Win 1-0 Sunderland (A) Win 2-0 West Brom (H) Win 1-0 Birmingham (A) Win 2-1 Chelsea (H) Lose 1-0 Leaving us: P38 W18 D9 L11 GF45 GA37 GD+8 Pts63 Pos 7th What does everyone else think? * - if this proves popular, I'll sticky it so it can be referred back to in May...

tbh they should thank me for pointing out that they're selling t-shirts which are likely to result in them getting a shitty letter from the lawyers of the Premier League...

I know a lot of you have already made comments of support for Jean-Alain but you can now leave an **OFFICIAL** comment for him here: **OFFICIAL J A Boumsong comments of support Dunno why it's official like, perhaps he wasn't one to defect to Toontastic. (note: Light Humour Gejon)

Considering we're only 6 points off a Champions League place with 63 still up fro grabs, I think that statement is a tiny bit premature tbh. I don't personally think we will qualify for the CL this season but I don't think it's realistic yet to say that we won't.

My mind is now made up that I want him replaced, despite the last two results (which honestly flattered us). I was prepared to give him time to show what he can do and while I think in general, the signings he's made have been positive, there's two factors on which I feel he's cooked his goose: 1) Tactically I think he's inept. 2) The reduction of the size of the squad during the summer. The second point may have been out of his control in that Fat Fred may have ordered him to reduce overheads, but if that is the case, surely they should communicate that to us? Bearing in mind that the size of the squad was so dramatically reduced, I think the constant mitigating claims that we've been unlucky with injuries loses some substance. That being said, I have always stated, and I continue to maintain that I'd rather we win and he keeps his job than us lose and he gets the sack. Ergo, the net result of the past 10 days is that I'm happy. As a side point, I think the two results have saved Souness for the rest of the season. He definitely won't be sacked this side of the new year on the back of those victories and not even Fat Fred would sack a manager during the one month where he can wheel and deal. And to sack him between February and May I think would be of little benefit to the season. Fingers crossed, they're already getting things underway with regards to replacing him next summer though. (who am I kidding?)

Michael Owen did (mentioned it on MOTD )

Because it'd take me ages to do it... Also wouldn't come out very good. The only animated ones I've done is where the smiley stays static but something on it (eg. the eyes) moves. On the one you mention the whole smiley moves and the santa hat image is static. Course if anyone else wants to have a go at it, they're more than welcome...

And as I said to your parole officer the other day..."he really needs to get a sense of humour and learn the difference between banter and abuse." 67971[/snapback] Just because some people try and use a wink at the end of a post to hide the pettyness doesnt mean its banter! 67973[/snapback] Given that you reckon you've been impartial in dishing out your feelings over the 'pettyness' , I hope you've had a mention re: this then Gejon... Or would that endanger your adminship? (Note: Light hearted humour)

How many people share your name? http://www.yournotme.com 3 people in the UK share my name.

Noooooo, don't turn this place into N-O! 68924[/snapback] I believe GREAT post is the correct terminology 68933[/snapback]

Howay man, even we beat Leverkusen so that's nowt to shout about... 68864[/snapback] Aye, but Juventus, Chelsea and Milan. Credit where it's due I reckon. 68868[/snapback] We beat Chelsea and Juventus recently as well!

Howay man, even we beat Leverkusen so that's nowt to shout about...

With the exception of a couple, all the clickable smileys are now santa-ised

So you've been tossing it off all week, and now they haven't responded, you've actually got to do something? 68762[/snapback] Nope - been trying to fix it off my own back - not happening so they're having to write a fix for it. Thought I'd shifted it to someone else yesterday but it didn't get resolved and they're off today so it's come back to me..

More like I've been waiting all week for the 3rd party to provide a fix for their shite software.......

No because it's categorised as a games site by websense, as is this one...

Divn't be sayings stuff like that! We've only just got Swindon back and if he hears that kind of ageism he'll be off again 67994[/snapback] I resign! 68217[/snapback] They'd have banned you within 5 minutes over there IMO... 68220[/snapback] Or posted up your picture, so you leave the forum. Oh, hang on.... 68505[/snapback] Not quite correct there Daniel....

If it's any consolation, I'm off on holiday today. And I'm also not hungover. 68740[/snapback] I bet you don't have a collapsed payroll to sort out either....

I didn't realise Craig was a mod tbh. 68411[/snapback] I'm not, I'm an admin!

Fucking hell do I feel rough..... And why the hell did I not take holiday today?

Crap-out of the software then - I deleted nowt 68291[/snapback] How come the posts were slightly different then dickwad? 68337[/snapback] I have no idea - deleted nowt though hence the original

Some recent new additions....

Blocked from work sadly...
