With all due respect Hypo - I can't be assed to reply, but see jawillwills post 334 - I think it probably sums it up. Edit: Oh right - you already have. Guess that didn't work either.... sigh.

Nahh - Kevin Davies did, Uwe got the 2nd and the 3rd...! Edit: Actually technically speaking Davies got the 5th and Rosler the 6th and 7th - we were 4 nil down at that point.... ffs...!!

It is both. He broke the rules - a ban is warranted, simple. Life ban - draconian - it's an internet message board ffs. Ban him til the start of the season and get him back on here - this board needs Deppo(s).

Wildern - pre '73. Used to be so 'ard the pupils took the register to make sure the teachers had showed up.

Guy, over fifty, love music, bought up on (influenced by), Elvis, Beatles, Stones, Manfred Mann, Slade, ELO, Clapton, Sabbath, Floyd, Eagles. Basic perception of todays music is that it generally sux. Have no time for the so called 'talent' that is X Factor or BGT. Women who take their clothes off or exploit their sexuality in order to sell music p i s s me off. If you can sing, sing. If I wanted to see a naked lady I would've visited a strip joint. Where are all the Alison Moyets / Lisa Stansfields of the female music scene? Me and music, intermediate guitar player - Yamaha FG730S acoustic, Epiphone Les Paul Custom Plus and Squire Fender Telecaster (signed by Gordon Haskell (google him if you don't know)), Marshall MG30 DFX practice amp with Digitech GNX 3 guitar processer. There's lots of crap about today musically, but it was the same in my day as well (Boney fukin M...!). Gotta say though - really love James Morrison, took his music to the streets and did it the hard way. Voice to absolutely die for - real class, seems a top bloke as well. Thats my 10p's worth in a nutshell - could chew the fat all day about music - but the subject is just so vast, got to do some work today!

He is right though, apparently it is only a matter of time before we build (yet another) new stadum...

Post 106 is more worrying - looks like we are going down the pan fast.

Deppo. Just recently Deppo has p i s sed me off a little – so I just scrolled on past. Saw his avatar coming a mile off and just ignored it. Who knows though, perhaps that is just me – grumpy old man, wrong side of fifty just wanting to read the important bits. In the past, said poster, has made me raise a wry smile, smirk, chuckle, laugh out loud, bellow, and choke on my carrot cake. (T w a t). Deppos input is rarely safe – personally I think he knows it and does weigh it up before posting – sometimes perhaps he gets it wrong, but that is what makes him interesting. He is the guy that tries to make light of the situation, normally with a ‘throw away’ – problem is, some take it far too seriously. I should also point out as well – that although many of his posts were loaded with sarcasm, many also carried a very valid (if sometimes alternative) viewpoint, perhaps for some this was just a little too subtle. I have no doubt that he p i s sed a few off, as I said, I had tired of him recently – but there is absolutely no way I would have kicked him out. I know that the £5.0 subscription fee is knack all in real terms, but Deppo is worth at least a quid of that annual subscription. When you consider all the other posters and services provided by this forum – what I’m saying is that Deppo is (was) ‘Box Office’. I’m pretty sure that I would have gone back to reading, enjoying and laughing at Deppo – I always thought that he could say an awful lot with not many words – quite clever really. As to the policing of the forum, that’s up to the guys that run this site. There is no way I would say a bad word about them, they do a great job and we are the benefactors of their efforts. That said – they have got this (badly, in my opinion) wrong. Why anybody would be intimidated enough to make any sort of serious complaint against a poster for the general input that is contained on most threads is beyond me. Why would you get so wound up about it – scroll on by. I recently left neutral feedback for an Ebay seller and he threatened to sue me for libel. It left me feeling intimidated for a while, but I laughed and moved on – not heard from him since. And so Deppo is banned, banned for life, never, ever to return – and who is the loser here. I am, and all those others here who support him. I come to read certain threads, certain opinion, and yes, certain sarcasm too. I come to be entertained by the ‘crowd’ that is in tonight – hopefully Deppo, Turkish, Benjii, TDD and the rest of the crowd will be there. Because if they are there, then the forum experience will be interesting, appealing, aggressive, dangerous and worthwhile. At the risk of offending anyone – I will sign off with what I believe could've been a Deppoism. Murderers and rapists don’t get locked up for life – why should Deppo?

Normally a woman on an organ would probably appeal somewhat - but jesus, how bad was she.... and she was in the final...!! Total bollux.

We are all amateurs here - you only have to read this thread to come to that conclusion.

To be honest, long term is the only way to build and sustain a football club these days unless of course you get the sugar daddy of all daddies...! Look at Manure, they didn't become great over night - took a lot of time and investment, remember 'boring, boring Arsenal', never thought I'd enjoy watching them...! Problem is though - that everybody wants success right now. It all depends how long an owner is willing to wait and how much they are willing to 'invest' - we have 3 years to get to the premiership - will be interesting to see what happens if we don't make it. But at least our 5 year plan has some realism about it, will your new owners have similar expectations, or will they want it now? As for the 6 points - thats not greed - that's just realistic.

Just googled Antonav's name, and he is described as a business genius (only young as well, 35ish???) in one article and a money launderer in another (although it also states that he was cleared of the latter accusations) - so you'll probably find it's somewhere in between I guess. Most successful business people probably have a few skelatons here and there - so could go either way. As for personal wealth, one article quoted 200m which is hardly mind blowing in football terms, but better than an owner who wants to keep his wallet firmly in his pocket. I think that you had better hope that he sees this as a long term project, because with your current infrastructure it is very difficult to see how the business is going to show a profit, either short or medium term. Strange quote on twitter saying that the new owners would not be making any announcement for a couple of weeks yet - perhaps they are looking to make sweeping changes to the management, staff and ground. Either way, whatever happens, I would just like to thank you for the 6 points.

Have to say that I agree with some of the points you raise, a couple of serious questions for you: Are you now happy with your new owners, do you know anything of their background? What level of investment, if any, do you think they will be bringing to the club? Thanks.

I think you are missing the point - we can sit here and take the **** all we want, but come next season if we don't have the bragging rights it will mean nothing. Real rivalry is played out by the players on the pitch not by a bunch of chest beating cyborwarriers on a message board.

Fifty fukin three, and I had to google that - geeze what a fukin' sheltered life I've led...!

Indeed it is, and today pompey have been taken over, so perhaps it's now time to draw this to a close. There has been much posturing and urine extracting here - much of it, total bullshyte. Come next season we are back on par with them and the only pleasure I want is in the shape of 6 points. Like it or not, PFC are here to stay - they've been taken over - let's move on and let the real rivalry begin.

Really chuffed that somebody saw fit to put this on the main board where all and sundry can clock it as opposed to leaving hidden amongst a thread that most won't be assed to wade through. Neat, real neat.

Saved me the time - couldn't have put it better myself.

Ahhhhh Gibraltar - my company asked me to go there a couple of years ago on business, never been before, so was really looking forward to it. Was recommended a hotel by a 'friend/work colleague', took one look at the feedback it was getting and sort of changed my mind. This is recent and was typically what people were saying a couple of year ago: "Gibraltar as a whole has a fatigued, dated ambiance. It feels like its slightly apologetic for its existence -- and for the grimly commercial Main Street, which could be Shopping Mall Anytown. The Bristol Hotel exemplifies everything that has been left to go to seed in Gib. The room styles are 1950s Margate, the beds hard and lumpy and tobacco smells linger. And the breakfasts -- even a 1950s seaside landlady would be ashamed. Sliced white bread, processed cheese, processed ham, instant coffee, reconstituted orange juice, stodgy rolls, cold hard boiled eggs, cheapo packaged jam, marmalade and butter. And the service -- perfunctory at best, downright rude at worst." And there's more.... "Gibraltar in general is not a place I would ever visit again. For an island it seems singularly lacking in sea. It is virtually invisible from any part of the main town. There are no pretty areas to sit in - even the Botanic gardens are disappointing. The traffic is horrendous. You may as well book a room in the middle of Brands Hatch on race day. It just goes on and on day and night. Noisy, smelly and dirty. Everything apart from booze and cigarettes is far more expensive than the uk. Over £10 for a very indifferent omelette and a cup of instant coffee. Benidorm would seem like the height of luxury compared to this. Take my tip - stay at home and save your money. I wish I had!" Suffice to say, I made my excuses and got the company to send somebody else...! Not one that I will be trying to experience anytime soon either.

See for yourself: Training with SFC.

Absolutely, except of course you have used the word 'logically' with a football related issue - are you mad?

Gut

Had we got to the play offs and failed, wonder what would have happened to our manager? Really don't think that DJ is a bottler or bad manager, the margins are fine when it comes to the business end of any season. Personally I think that it's been handled pretty well - gives all parties a chance to plan for next season. Have seen DJ linked with the likes of WHU already, so I would think that it is highly likely that he wont be out of work for long.

Geeze we really do have some totally mong fans: http://downatthemac.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=57880 Luckily Gemmel has been on and represented what we all hopefully feel about the mong that posted this rubbish, and Huddersfield Town in general. At the end of the day the playoffs are a lottery - we all know that, but it's bloody hard to take when you finished 8 points in front of the team that is going up in 'your place'.
