what a bunch of miserable cunts

He missed the flight with the rest of the squad, didn't try hard enough to get there on time clearly. a comedian in the ranks

play some of the kids but too many at once would be foolish

I'm sure they would score the goals we need badly

Not unless they buy the land the ground is built on and I can't see that happening. no chance at all. Most people know it is council owned, nobody in this for the short term would undertake such a step either.

Do you think Mandaric is a good chairman just because portsmouth have had a decent start to the season, and the new one has only been there a few months

they are playing well but there is nothing up front.

they won't take any notice of any message boards. Because 99% of fans who go to matches probably don't post on them.

only 6 players, just like that.

happy bastards you lot aren't you

leazes, the only thing you have proven is the ridiculous lengths you'll go in your unwavering defence of shepherd. you even excuse him for appointing souness for fuck's sake. the majority of our summer signings were panic buys. FACT...whether you like it or not. i'm going to drop it now...i mean it this time ps - i'm still waiting for you to answer any of the questions i have put to you in this thread YOU said the clubs buys are ALL panic buys. I have pointed out the utter shite of this comment, and you know it, which is why you don't address my reply. If these players are "short term buys" forced on the club due to the current situation - which despite your stupid naivety doesn't make us the only club that has made short term buys - then the alternative is that you obviously DO think the club has a bottomless pit of money. So - how come you expect a board you say is shit to have a bottomless pit of money. You don't half talk some shite. no i didn't. if you re-read the thread, you'll find that what i actually said was that we approached the window with no plan or strategy and ended up with three panic buys in the final week of the window as a result. i find it funny that you even attempt to dispute this. and i can't believe we're six pages in to this thread and you STILL haven't answered any of my questions. actually i can - it's almost as predictable as the panic buys we made in the transfer window. so finally: * are you happy with our defence going into this season? * are sibierksi, rossi and bernard panic buys? the club went into the last few days of the transfer window having bought 2 forwards and having no money left ? So what do you propose they should have done, or do you think we would be better off without those 3 players and a small squad. In previous years most of the buys have been planned and at good times so why are you saying they are not

watertight tbh so, you have nothing further to add that I have shown your statment that the club always buys players that are "panic buys", "pre transfer buys" and have "no planning" as utter shit of the highest order.. ... You're a clever boy aren't you, making up things, rather than have a mind of your own and base your opinion on facts. seriously. wtf are you talking about? siberski, bernard, rossi were ALL panic buys. you can repeat your bullshit defence of shepherd until you're blue in the face - and i've no doubt you will - but if you refuse to accept this FACT then you're a moron. i think even your hero shepherd would admit to it tbh. Firstly, do you think we are the only club who make last minute buys ? Yes or no ? If you think we are, you are an idiot. And, if you think there is anything wrong with last minute short term buys when you can't get the people you want, you're an idiot. And - the whole crust of this - is YOU SAID - or insinuated - ALL the clubs buys are "panic buys", "last minute transfer buys" and "lack planning". Do you accept that ALL the players I listed DO NOT fit this criteria, therefore all those players were bought at the behest and planning of the club, and were players wanted by the club ? So, which of those players were as you state, if this is what you think, and explain how. They are listed in post number 42 in this thread. Do you think a club qualifies for europe 7 times in a decade, and buys ALL these players, generating and spending the money that we have done, that " lacks foresight and planning", because if you do, then there are 87 other clubs who must be doing exactly the same, meaning for making such a stupid allegation, you are an idiot Finally, nobody is my "hero", I am just stating facts rather than come out with the misinformed shite that you do. When you have gave your view on all those players, you can also tell us who your knight in shining armour is that is going to be automatically better than what we already have, but as you think they are so shite, this should be an easy choice for you. Come on, I'm waiting. In fact I asked you this earlier in the thread as well. do you think that we planned to buy any of the players we ended up with? do you really think siberski, bernard and rossi were on the list of players that roeder gave to shepherd at the beginning of the summer? we all know that we needed defenders yet we waited until the last week of the window before approaching alledged targets woodgate and huth and ended up with siberski, bernard and rossi. why didn't we attempt to sign these players before then? doing business before the last week of the window means you can't go for a credible alternative if things go tits up ie not buying man city reserves. in my view siberski, bernard and rossi are ALL panic buys. why? because we blew a blew £15M of an extremely limited budget on two players, one of whom despite his qualities we didn't really need. who handles the transfer budget? surely the premiership's 5th greatest chairman knows that you don't sell players unless you've got better players coming in. we sold the likes of boumsong, bowyer, chopra and elliot - players who all had to go - yet somehow ended up with an inferior squad. siberski replaced bowyer, we didn't even replace boumsong and we've been kind enough to help develop a kid for man u. it's not rocket science but then we are talking about the the same man that paid blackburn compensation to make souness our manager. i'm going to sign off from this thread now but before i go, answer me - if you can - the questions that you have avoided throughout this debate. 1) were siberski, rossi and bernard panic buys? 2) are you happy with our defence, given this is probably the weakest area of the squad going into the window yes or no will do. go on i dare you. the point is easy enough to see, which is the 3 players you mention are the only 3 you can think of, and before Souness was appointed manager Newcastle United didn't make these type of buys you accuse them of making. Out of the 5 we bought? Over 50% of our signings were panic buys then. Sorry, what point are you trying to make? Things used to be ok, so we'll live with it? I believe that Meenzer can see the point and he has stated it, the point is that Newcastle United very rarely make these type of buys they are being accused of making all the time

Carver should come back to Newcastle to replace Bond but it depends on Roeder

Spurs fans have sussed him out, when will McLaren ?

Thought you meant John Steed from the Avengers there

He's shown for many years now that backing his manager with money isn't the way to succeed, despite what some people claim. 155961[/snapback] So we should buy half the team from the mackems, or Francis Jeffers today ?

Shepherd needs to get his act together and sort out the players we want.

Aye, I'm sure this American group will be for the best

Another what ? You think freedom is allowing terrorists into the country, and let them stay free until they blow someone up somewhere ? You're a fruitcake mate.

Yeah, basically Sven in his infinite lack of wisdom wen to the world cup with: Rooney who may not have kicked a ball or may at any moment get crocked again Owen who could easilly get injured and who isn't yet match fit, so lets keep subbing him! Crouch who is still unproven at international level despite soem recent form Walcott who is unproven at premierhip level and who he has never seen But apart from 2 players at risk of being crocked, two unproven and Rooney always at risk of suspension if he manages to stay fit you can see what Sven is thinking, i mean you have got to find a way to squeeze Jenas in there, thats vital! 147960[/snapback] He shouldn't have taken Walcott. Maybe he just fancies his lass

Crazy people who are happy with terrorists running around the country. What a joke.

These tactical geniuses that call themselves managers must be on a different planet to most of us because it looked a bad move to me.

Wide open. Costa Rica will proabably figure in 2 more high scoring games before going home.

what ? Warmonger George ? What about him being a martyr ? What about the proof that he was a terrorist killer ? What would you have done to him, if he had turned up at Dover claiming asylum ? 146750[/snapback] He was a known terrorist and mass murderer Leazes. I doubt any person on this board would have a problem in his assassination. Remember in the previous thread, the only post you agreed with me on was that Hussein should have been taken out 20 years ago? So why are you surprised by my response? Btw, that word in bold is a pretty crucial point I think. Are you going to answer my final post on the other thread now? 146753[/snapback] Abu Hamza was a known to be involved in terrorism. What was your stance on him being free for a long time ? 146830[/snapback] My stance is enough evidence was gathered to put him on trial and he was then arrested, and rightly so. My stance is I back the authorities on this, whatever Leazes Mag states. What's your stance? Bit of an odd question if you ask me. 146835[/snapback] He was arrested, but it was years too late. While he was free, his mosque preached hatred, stored arms and trained bombers. Do you really think this is desirable ? 147078[/snapback] Well whatever, I don't know the ins and outs of it, or why he wasn't arrested sooner. Was it not because he was under surveillance? Sometimes you can get a better result if you observe a known terrorist or terrorist sympathiser, rather than go straight in and risk a failed conviction? Pretty sure this is what happened in Northern Ireland. Regardless, Leazes will be on here later saying that if I had my way I give him a grant and pat him on the back or something equally inane........ 147087[/snapback] http://www.al-bab.com/yemen/hamza/hamza1.htm you said that a known terrorist would be detained. Hamza was a known terrorist for many years, and wasn't detained. So you were talking out of your arse mate. It is obvious that this only happened because they were not able to legally charge him, even though he was known , which means our laws are inadequate. To say differently is obviously talking out of your arse again. He also claimed everything our benefits system allowed during that time. Rather than admit you are wrong, you say 'well whatever'.
