Golac's Cunning Stunts

problem is, it isn't hard to suss us out as Martin has already told every opposition team how we will play. No surprises for any oppo manager

If I remember right, he was a bitter little fucker who hung around on the forum arguing with anybody who had anything bad to say about the banana once he went to the scouse

Yeah they really weren't that good at all apart from when Mowbray schooled Martin in the 5-0

So effectively, please pay us 25% more than he is worth...

That's the thing about statistics - you can use them to make any sort of point you want. In this case, let's just ignore 15% of the league games we played last year. Whichever way you slice it, we let in 63 league goals last season which is an average of 1.4 goals a game, and a win never felt certain even if we were 2-0 up. Not at all convinced we won't let a shed load of goals in this season.

Surprised we aren’t going for BOGOF deals to be honest

I'm not too up on Palace, but their recruitment and development of younger players has been phenomenal recently

Yes. I like Brooks and think there is a good player in there considering what he has recently been through. A full season will see him improve.

I didn't follow those performances, but given West Ham were happy to let him go, I'd guess they weren't much to talk about

half decent for the championship

His boyhood club told him he wasn't wanted more like

a spoonful of suga helps the pompey go down, the pompey go down, the pompey go down oh a spoonful of suga helps the pompey go down in a most delightful way

Not sure I would go as far as saying we controlled the game. There were times when we were stretched and the Swiss were on top

Agreed but the problem with this is if you don't get out of the champs before the parachute payments end and you end up becoming a non-entity championship side. The championship is a graveyard of ex PL clubs who failed to get repromoted before their parachute payments ended

yeah - that's obviously BS

I'd take The Kat over Bazunu every time

I guess that would depend on what the new contract offer looks like? If he's offered significantly more money, that would be a reason not to sit tight for another year.

apologies double post

DId you watch Fury's last fight. He hardly moved!

england even managed to make Tadic look like a world beater in his prime to be fair

I did and it seemed the consensus was he is a great guy full of positivity. But most of the Bees fans say he was good in the champs and not fast or mobile enough for the PL?

You mean will smallbone the Irishman, Joe Aribo the Nigerian and Shea Charles the Northern Irishman?

they wouldn't be buying him as he is a free agent. If there was a transfer fee involved I wonder how many would be interested then

He is not the answer in the PL as he has previously shown. So I hope it is done and we can move on
