answer the question.

I'm not psychic, but I just think you don't need to be.

thought you had me on ignore ? You don't even have the balls to do what you say you are doing, you utter cretin. Tell me Gemmill, what do you think is going to happen in the summer so the club "moves forward" ?

really ? What a shame you can't tell us exactly what this "rubbish" is that hasn't actually happened that I said would happen.... Gemmill, trying to be the forum joker, but one of the most absurd posters there is. Do you still have me on ignore but don't have me on ignore ? Clever lad.

not saying we did, just quoting our final positions. Do you think we will match those positions or even attempt it . Attempt being the crucial word here. Most people realise you can't keep going upwards [Toonpack doesn't seem to realise this but he isn't the only one ] but the important thing is to keep attempting to and aim high. Do you think they will attempt to make more progress this summer Renton, and if so, how do you think they will attempt to do it ? What will you say if they don't attempt to do it ? Are you not going to reply to my other long reply I made to you ?

that wasn't in that order you thick cunt do you think your man is never going to finish below 4th, 5th or 6th [wherever we finish} - how stupid is it possible to be

except we won't, shitforbrains. Who is going to be sold next to "sustain our progress" ? The sooner you stop reading that shite on skunkers, the sooner you might start seeing what is staring straight at you.

I don't see the Wolves or the mackems above us in the league and haven't done for quite a while, have you ? Does that mean we can beat bankrolled teams or not ? What exactly is your point, are you only talking about the bankrolled teams that suit your viewpoint ? FWIW, the only bankrolled team in the 1990's were Blackburn and we got above them and bought their best player. We might also finish above Chelsea yet so that renders you argument totally useless, when you claim such things are impossible. Fact is, if we actually DO compete with them we can do it more often. You haven't mentioned Spurs/DOF/Wise/Ramos/Comolli and for a while ? I thought you had me on ignore too ?

you are joking ? 2nd twice, 3rd twice, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th ? Not competing ? We won't compete for the title, or even sustain top 4-5 league positions, if you sell your best players and replace with cheaper, and that is an absolute racing certaintly.

there is only 2 clubs being bankrolled, not 22.

didn't you say something like "lets not suggest things which may or may not happen" ? Fact is, we ARE nowhere near sustaining the challenging at the top of the league that the previous regime achieved during their entire 15 years owning the club.

Sadly, I can't congratulate you and your mate for having the balls to admit you can't tell us what you have termed "rubbish" for so long, nor actually sticking to ignoring me like you claim you are doing.

I thought you had me on ignore ? Obsessed.

correct. And at the end of the day, its those who said "anybody would do better than this" when talking about the Halls and Shepherd and their results on the pitch, who are totally wrong. People like Toonpack etc, fair enough if what they want is a premiership team making a profit and not seriously attempting to compete on a long term basis with the big boys like the last regime did, that is their prerogative, just admit that this is their preference and you can't do both things, and they were wrong when they insinuated that you could. I would say that the vast majority of people like myself who actually put their cash into the club though, would rather have success on the pitch.

most people accepted Bobby Robson needed to be replaced at the time. I've said the facts behind the appointment of 2 of those managers, they were both winners and considered to be top drawer appointments at the time. Roeder and Allardyce both had people for and against them, Roeder finished 7th. Souness too was backed by lots of people, including Gemmill right to the very end. The point is, as I said, these managers didn't meet the expectations and demands, which were european football at a minumum, so were replaced. Even so called supporters booed the team for only finishing 5th....Mike Ashley won't have those sort of demands, they have gone downwards. Their lower expectations stand out and are obvious to a blind man.

I think one good season in 5 years certainly doesn't prove I'm wrong just yet. I've made a judgement on the mentality inside the club based on their actions, and I'm sticking to it. I said replacing the last regime with better would be more difficult than people thought, and so far after 5 years, that is bang on, they need to do a lot more yet to better those 15 years. They might do it if they continue what they did in January ie keeping their best players and bringing in quality to add to it, but they certainly won't if they start selling top players again and witholding the cash from the manager and not backing him.

why don't you comment on my reply to Renton, and tell us what you think is so rubbish about what I've said for years which I've summarised again ? As you have ignored the last time I did it on numerous occasions ? Go on, show some balls for a change and do it. FWIW, I haven't done any u-turn, I've explained why, unlike you I'm not fooled by a period when we have got lucky, I've enjoyed it just like everyone else. Only a big tart can't admit when things don't go the way you say, you should take note of that. I remember you saying in the past, harping on about "planning" etc, and that Villa were right to appoint O'Neill and give him that long contract because it was a "plan" which we never had, although in the end, this "plan" got nowhere near the regime you were castigating and now say they "commanded no respect from the players". So please tell us, who did the best there too ? Bet you don't. You're an utter mong, and as Gene Clark said, a foolish coward with no balls. You say nothing, you have no views,all you do is summarise later and make out you're a smartarse, when in actual fact you are a waste of time with your head up your arse.

I'm pleased you refer to the term "relative", because that is exactly how I present most of my replies to posts like this. I'm not saying I disagree with what you say about Gullit, I had reservations myself and said so at the time, concerning his "sexy football" bollocks - although I can quote his record at Chelsea which was very good by any standards, I think he was greeted by supporters for all the wrong reasons, the only thing that matter in football is winning, and although this "sexy football" is irrelevant in my eyes, he had still been a winner and was appointed for that reason too, the same reason as Dalglish in fact. Hindsight is easy, but at the time, that is why both those people were given the job and it is difficult to argue with the fact that they were both at the time top drawer appointments. Where "relative" comes in, is when people quote one incident, one player, a small period out of the 15 years, and paint it as representative of the whole of that time. The simple fact is NOBODY appoints a successful manager every time, the attitude to have is that when you realise it is not right, get rid and retain the ambitions and go again. For the vast majority of those 15 years, the club was "relatively" successful, certainly the most since the 1950's by a mile over that period as a whole - people who cherry pick because they are looking for something, or anything, however small or against the norm, to discredit them with, are just showing how ignorant and stupid they are, in my eyes. It's similar to this season. Hand on heart, every single person on here and every single person I know, never expected this in a million years, which tells you something. Or ought to. You know, I know, everybody knows what needs to be done now to move "further forward". These threads on here are now full of people fantasising about who we are going to sign, just like they used to be. My point is, and always has been, that these sort of expectations and ambitions are not shared by the owner, who will be happy to survive and promote the Sports Company, and make a proftit - selling a player if one is not achieved operationally on its own merit. He is a retailer by instinct, every player has a price, and he will be happy to scout around looking for cheaper replacements, this has always been the mentality and it is still the mentality. Anybody with an ounce of common sense knows that this partcular approach cannot be sustained and result in longer term high league positions and "progress" as such. This has been my point for all these years, it is inferior to the approach of the old owners and as such can never match them on a longer term basis.

see my post just made to your mate, shitforbrains. Please tell us who is holding a gun to your head and forcing to read and reply to me. Thick, stupid arsehole.

nice to see mancmag, like his chum Gemma, ignoring me like they say they are doing Would be canny to see him [or his mate] actually reply to the numerous requests to be mature enough and say exactly what he thinks is "shit" from the post I made which summarised everything he has said is "shit" for the last 5 years. Don't expect him to have the balls to do it though, never mind ignoring me like he says he is doing. Just like his mate. Obsessed, totally and completely obsessed. Poor lad.

so you are ignoring me but you aren't clever lad.

thought you had me on ignore

you always agree with the skunkers and the non-matchgoer thickos

shouldn't have needed to learn that mind, it's obvious to anyone, but your assessment is correct. We need a good striker, good enough to play in a top team, and let them battle for their places from there. That's what competition is all about, and its how we will progress.

As for Chelseas remaining fixtures, it could go either way. They could be buoyed up or they could play with one eye on the Final. The suspended players will know its their last games of the season, I expect John Terry will actually lift his head and give these games everything, he's a cunt but he's that sort of player, he's a leader. One thing for sure, and we know from bitter experience, is that you can't play league games at half pace and expect to pick up the pace in a one off Cup Final. Winning is a habit that you get into and the more you do it the better the momentum, but that is up to the manager to assess his players state of mind and motivations.
