  1. To be fair, the last few years have been insane regarding football transfers. Managers really didn't have much to lose. They could spend someone elses money on a player and if it didn't work out hey ho. They were still in line for a huge payout if they were sacked. Also, in several cases including our own, the chairmen also had very little to lose. It wasn't HIS money and increasingly it was borrowed money. The gamble relied on a best case scenario and in our case, although it was exciting for a while, we had very little to show for it in real terms. Boasting about attendances and CL appearances is a poor second to actually winning trophies. Having said all that, there's precious little point shelling out money every week if every time you get a good player they're sold to the highest bidder. Tbh, if we sign a top drawer striker and don't sell anyone else, I'll give Ashley credit. Sadly, that's rather unlikely.
  2. Coldstream. Dad's from Allendale. We lived in Wark for a couple of years then moved down to Cornwall cause he got a job down there. Stayed until I was 24, then moved to London. Lived in Northumberland between 2003 and 2007, got married there and went to as many games as I could afford to. Including our CL exit to Partizan Belgrade. I'll always be an outsider there but I love the city.
  3. @cwarr07 Doesnt take alot of common sense to realise which twitteroos are complete bullshitters. And that Cwarr fellow is the clearest. He basically adds 2+2+2 together. Sometimes he gets 6, sometimes he gets 5, other times he gets 3.142. who twet all the pi's? That's way too clever to be funny.
  4. Agreed. IF (and it's a gigantic XXXL sized IF) we were to build our squad up over the next couple of years from a position of smart spending and not just flashing the chequebook and end up winning something, there's not a fan in the country who could begrudge it. As exciting as it must be to be a Man City fan at the moment, the whole world hates them and deep down, they know they'd feel the same way if it wasn't them.
  5. I'd let him go for nothing and pay some of his wages. and I mean, me, personally.
  6. I blame Smith for the collapse of Lehman Brothers tbh.
  7. I can't believe how many people keep falling for the same trick. As long as you keep biting, they'll keep writing. Did you like that? It rhymed.
  8. I can only imagine what babelfish will come up with.
  9. TBF a defender in his late 20s has a good few years left in him. He's been pretty injury free too.
  10. Not too bothered so long as they don't sell Wilson tbh.
  11. cos there's only two things in the bag now the inside of the bag being one
  12. Do you reckon? I thought he was class, personally. if this was the Generation Game and i was Brucie and 'had to come back and do some marking' id struggle t give him more than a 4. . . a more than a 4 you say ? . azz-zzz . . Very well done.
  13. To be fair, when you've got the depth of squad we have plus the decades of success, we can afford to let junk like Barton go. We literally can't lose. Good footballers are all over the place. Just look at youtube., I salute you Dekka.
  14. What a bell end. STFU about your family if you're playing away.
