I still miss Cheyne in these kind of überthreads.

He certainly had rarely the chance to celebrate his performances...

Just to infury Ant even more, some news about his incredible dumb idol as seen on .com... I am not sure what has been actually more stupid: Paying him 75k a week or spending it...

Alles Guude.

2003 or 2004? What you on about? Just trying to remember what year that one did the rounds Well, make a guess what year you saw it first and add another two years for when everybody else did...

Well, being out of job at the moment I think I'd go for 30-50 quid.

More than another central defender on big wages and some second rate striker we need some creativity in midfield. But as those players would cost some money it's rather unlikely...

one of the best posters, keeps a few in their place He's comedy gold. Not sure i ever saw him put anyone in their place though. He does bring amusement. Leazes claims any poster that goes against the majority is "one of the best posters" every time. or any poster who posts sense. Unfortunately, that places you somewhere near the bottom. Be honest, you say it about practicallly everyone who goes against the grain Do you honestly think he speaks sense or does he just go against the popular opinion for the sake of it? i'm being honest when I say I laugh when he has posters like you running round in circles. Its all about being right, it isn't my fault that lots of dumb fuckers like you thought the Halls and Shepherd were shite owners, I told you often enough you were wrong. That isn't going against the grain, because I was right, and I knew that I was right. Fop didn't like Shepherd and the Halls though...

It's a textbook answer though.

That's a view I can't find myself to agree with regards to suicide. I couldn't possibly relate to his frame of mind at the time, you have to be ridiculously desperate to do such a thing. Cowardice doesn't come into it for me. Especially as Partridge said if you are "clinically fed up". Exactly. It's really retarded to see it as an "easy" option when in fact it's the last resort to people who are obviously really suffering and ill.

Germany have cancelled their friendly next Saturday.

His wife just held a press conference. Seemed impressively brave. Enke suffered from depressions for several years, first got treatment in 2003 during his disappointing spell abroad then again a couple of weeks ago. He didn't want to go to a clinic to protect his family and his career. He also feared he would lose his adopted daughter because of his illness. It's strange, normally I don't care about these (public) tragedies, but I've to admit that this is something I do find difficult to stomach. Enke was one of the most modest and intelligent professionals around. It really seems quite absurd that he killed himself especially thinking that he was reluctant to get more treatment to protect his family and career...

Berbatov and Keane were sold in that period iirc. Still they say themselves in their report that they sold players for 72.5m and signed players for 119m during the year. Must be a lot of other factors like amortisation and the structure of the deals to claim such a huge profit.

May I also raise my arm in support?

Fucking hell. A gamble on CL qualification? They got a fair bit back as well like. 8 million for Zokora for fucks sake. And did not even pay for defoe or Robbie Keane. And yesterday they announced a pre-tax profit of £33m. A profit on player trading of 56m? Seems strange to me, but that's what they say...

Lost his daughter a few years ago too didn't he? Yes, adopted a girl not too long ago. He struggled to cope with pressure during his time at Barca and in Turkey (were he cancelled his contract after one very poor game). Though he always seemed very calm both on and off the pitch. Maybe he should have done what Deisler did and retire early.

Really sad. Good keeper and seemed like a very nice bloke. Allegedly was too weak for the business and suffered from depression.

5/5 are you MAD? At least keep him till the end of the season. From bitter experience that's his good spell over for the year. His spell of fitness seems to be. Funny how KK seemed to have him sussed pretty soon after all the previous managers had persevered with him. Thank god we got JFK who could spot the talent and hand him a new contract instead...

You mean something horrible like this? Expect some new clothes coming with you next season ticket... Is it supposed to be a swasticka? No, it's the logo of German Telekom (T.com), the telephone company. Probably not a good picture, here is a better one:

The thread about it, the mention in another thread and the fact it's only the ground and not the club being renamed? Can you direct me to the post in the other thread when it was officially announced? I couldnt find it http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?...st&p=689857

I don't find Luke's posts that bad, but that's a bit too much appraisal tbh.

Listened to the interview now. What a plonker. Telling us how he and Mike can't really enjoy going to the match anymore and how he used to struggle to get Ashley out of pubs pre-match. Eh? He's here since June last year and before the Keegan debacle there were three home games with two of them having been friendlies. Just more exercises in public relations... Keeping on lying.

Totally disagree. In all German stadiums I've been in the last couple of years, those new video screens have been just totally annoying, be it cubes like in Frankfurt or Schalke or 'normal' video screens like in every other stadium.

The new club secretary...
