Stopped reading right there tbh. I know, plastic tbh It was fucking heart-breaking man. Still is. The bit of fondness comes from the fact that the football we played was excellent and also that we were unlucky to lose against Liverpool, then, as now, one of the best teams in the league. I suppose you prefer losing 2-1 at home to Fulham, eh, alex!?! As for plastic, well you can shove that up your arse. Basically, aye. The 2-1 at home to Fulham is pretty meaningless compared to the first 4-3 that helped cost us the league. The plastic comment was a joke. Hit a nerve though? Meaningless in itself, but the team that lost 4-3, was one you could be proud of, a team that looked - and was - good, who had a chance of winning something - even though they didn't in the end. The team that lost 1-2 was one to be embarrassed of, a team that's going nowhere and has absolutely no chance of winning anything, a complete shambles basically. Heroic defeat or miserable failure? I know which I'd choose. I knew it was a joke, by the way, see the other thread.

It's alright. I knew the other one was and all, I just fancied going off on one, didn't take it personal. Got to get to 50 posts somehow, haven't I? Is it always this slow on here?

Never get enough, at night I don't want to go to bed, and in the mornings I don't want to get up, but have to. So I end up usually having 12.30/1.00am - 7.00am asleep, which means I'm knackered most of the time.

Been saying that for ages. Certain people's bans would be pretty much permanent, the amount of bullshit they report, pisses me off more than almost anything else.

Disgraceful

William Hague?

Is it like the law there that the commentator has to say: GGGGGOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no matter how good or crap the goal actually is?

Ok, I suppose Shearer's arguable, but name me one other. Tino Asprilla. So, is that the Tino Asprilla I've already mentioned, or a different one?

Bless you. 195804[/snapback] Forgive my innebriated state. 195807[/snapback] No problem, thanks for getting me two posts closer to my next attempt to get a decent score on the gem game. If you so much as go near Jewel Quest i'll just up the high score to over a million. I only stopped the last time because i had to go produce a big curly steamer. I am the Jewel Quest legend. I see you've sabotaged the arcade in a desperate attempt to prevent me from taking your crown.

Stopped reading right there tbh. Too many long words? Too many stupid sentiments Ho-ho, how droll.

He's been a busy lad recently.

The question I'm asking is not: Can we be successful again or play decent football again. It's: Could a team like that, play like that, and be successful?

Ok, I suppose Shearer's arguable, but name me one other.

When people think back to the Keegan days, they think of good, flowing, attacking football, of a team that simply overwhelmed the vast majority of its opposition with wave, after wave, of attacks. I think of beating ManU 5-0 and Phillipe Albert scoring that goal, I even look back on those 4-3 defeats at Anfield with bit of fondness now. But could it happen again? At any club, let alone NUFC!?! If you think about it there are some quite unusual things about those sides, for example: Well the first and most obvious one is the playing style, no-one plays like that anymore, no-one played like that then for fuck's sake!! All-out attack, an "if you score one, we'll score two" type of attitude, it was, and still is, unique. The closest you'll get to it is Arsenal when they really click, and even then it's not the same. Also, the team was made up primarily of hardworking, reasonably talented players, but few of them were world-stars and none, with the possible exception of Tino, could be considered trophy signings. Yet together they formed one of the most exciting and effective attacking forces in world football. So could it be done again? Or has modern football changed too much for this type of formula to be successful? Would you want to see it again? And finally, what was the secret ingredient, the catalyst, that made it work in the first place?

Apart from when his mate was in charge. Even then he used the same old cliches about 'only knowing how to play one way' etc. He's also possibly the only person alive who still laughs at Motson. Apart from Motson himself, obviously. 195078[/snapback] Oh I laugh at Motson - it's that, or hunt him down and slit his throat.

Hugo Rules.

Alright then, I'll have a think.

What's the point in denying something that's blatantly true!! "The experience, in the long run, will help his career, this won't have wounded him or harmed him." - Well maybe not, but what about the club, eh!?! The club's reputation has been damaged by us pulling out of a deal at the last minute, other clubs, particularly Villa, will think twice about dealing with us in the future. "We don't think he was messed around. The situation didn't turn out as we thought it was going to. We have ended up still having a highly talented player but I think saying he has been messed around is taking it too far." - If he really thinks this he's seriously deluded, if not he's telling a barefaced lie, neither is good. "Who knows what will happen when the transfer window opens in January." - Well I think I've got a pretty good idea of what will happen: we'll conduct yet another shambolic attempt at a transfer policy.

Need to get some toner for mine, then I will have a huge picture of Rab C Nesbit, to... ...erm... ...file away in some box, or something.

Which one's yours then?

And I was watching the legend that was Arthur Lee, performing the whole of Forever Changes at Glastonbury, earlier. RIP Arthur, but at least I got to see you live before you popped your cloggs.
