Turkish

Who is the bigger idiot, the idiot that wants to be a celebrity on an Internet forum or the idiot that bite and do exactly as he wants, even when its blindingly obvious it was a Wind up? I enjoy Alpines because its pretty evident anyone with an ounce of savy he's on a wind up, yet time after time his threads are full of dinlows getting worked up by it.

And he has, who is the bigger fool?

Couldn't have asked for any more. I'd been a bit critical of MP and whilst one swallow doesn't make a summer we are 4th and still haven't really clicked into gear yet. We've not had the toughest of starts but there are no easy games at this level and you can only beat what's in front of you.

Which is an absolute contradiction of what you'd said before about players coming here because it's near the sea and the new forest, decent schools and a nice place to live. You also said that our own talented youngsters will ignore Man United and Chelsea and the £100k a week salaries to stay at saints and play with their mates. Consistent as ever Les.

I think you'll find it's the majority that are absolutely lemons on here.

By one or two yes, that doesn't mean its everyone does it. The Reed stuff is primarily from one person with an axe to grind against him for some reason. I've posted it and await the responses, probably won't be many until Monday as most of them go to games on the UI.

Really? Do you go on there much? I'll link the article and we can test your theories out.

Why is that Jamie?

Well as its my job pretty much all of the working day, I posted a few times last night when the missus was watching some crap on tellyand a few this morning, although before last night I hadn't posted anything since a couple on Wednesday, so hardly been on here this week glad you missed me. It's all about perception I guess, as the greatest pound for pound poster of all time, my posts stand out. Thanks for your interest in Turkish and be sure to buy the book 'the secret mongboarder'

Yep just checked, he signed for Chelsea for £300k in the summer of 1997, souness had gone by then and been replaced by Dave Jones, ostenstad joined in 1996.

But look at Easy Jet! They sell tickets they can't sell cheaply! Steve Jobs never followed market trends and look at Apple! And don't forget how they do it in Germany!

Anyone that thinks two games define a season is an idiot. We beat Man City and Chelsea last season yet lost against QPR and Wigan. If people had labeled any of those 4 season defining games we'd either have been relegated or won the title. No surprise coming from someone that claims shots at goal rather than actually bloody well scoring and winning is the benchmark of a good performance though.

I can confirm they are. Only originals though.

Having read that thread again it really is comedy gold. The references to Dragons Den, Easyjet, Apple and Steve Jobs, all to justify why we need to expand a stadium we aren't selling out. Fabulous mboarding.

I don't remember it like that, I think he ended up at Chelsea a year or so later. I may be wrong but I'm sure it wasn't a choice between us and them.

Hilariously a lot of people used the region being an affluent area as one of the reasons why we need to expand, yet now we are being told that the price of tickets is the reason why we aren't selling out the capacity we have.

Yeah didn't really make sense! I remember him being linked and it not happening, but can't remember why it didn't.

18 months on from that thread and no closer to the announcement that we were expecting soon.

Yes he did, I remember this well. Can't remember why it didn't happen but it fell though at the last minute.

I thought it was the clubs policy not to comment on speculation?

I wore rainbow laces on my clarks originals to Anfield last Saturday.

To date Cortese has shown no interest at all in reducing prices. In the championship when we averaged 26,000 I don't doubt we would have sold plenty more tickets if they had been made cheaper or done deals. I'm not quite sure why he'd now reduce prices when we are regularly selling 90% of tickets.

Really? We're 7th in the league and we were told several times in no uncertain terms by certain posters the higher up the league we are the better our crowds would be. Coupled with Palace being relatively local and bringing a decent following you'd have to say anything less than a sell out would be disappointing

In the words of the great Jeremy Kyle, he needs to put something on the end of it.

Not saying I agree with it mate but the club will look at it from that perspective. 90% full at £40 is better than 100% full at £30 financially. You're right about loyalty and one day they might need the fans that can't afford it again, much like they might need to loyal local businesses that supported us on the way down that have been screwed over on our rise back up. Will either be willing to put their hand I their pocket when the club needs them then?
