John Dahl Tomasson was strongly linked a few years ago i seem to remember.

I was delighted when we go Uwe Rosler instead

There was another one when he was at West Ham we were close to signing him, about a week later he joined Chelsea.

That was a good one, remember a debate on SF about would his wages upset the other players, some people getting really upset about it, i remember one poster saying "if Beattie is p*ssed off that OB is on that money then ask Beattie to get out his world cup winners medals" :lol:

yeah that was a good un, based totally on the fact that Strachan was his manager at Coventry once!

All these summer rumours made me think of great rumours on here from summers gone by. Particularly amusing ones were Javier De Pedro, some spanish guy that Javi, former poster and all round Spanish nutcase kept banging on we were signing. I also remember us being rumoured on the old saintsforever site to be close to signing Joe Cole, just before he joined Chelsea. Anyone remember the Gaizika Mendieta rumour? Barcelona player signed for £25m or something and we were rumoured on here to be signing for £10m after the cup final, pure internet fabrication but denied by the club in the echo at the time. :lol::lol:

what about Kevin Phillips? has he signed yet?

No it isn't

It does.

We need to go unbeaten and to win every game by at least 5 goals, otherwise it will be considered a poor season.

So you obviously didn't see his comment about not wanting to buy a player early and then a better one becomes available?

Why not just come out and say no one is leaving and we are looking to add to the squad then? Not 'i'm pretty confident we can start with what we already have? This implies that he thinks no one is leaving but not sure, but he'd like to add to it anyway.

He said 'i pretty confident we can start the season with the squad we've got' i read this as not 100% confident. No RL, AL or JF last night, are they all off? AL has an injury, bit like Tyson who is being linked with us, maybe AL is going to Forest, they need a wide player with NT coming the other way??

"We might not secure them but we'll be pretty close - I'm pretty confident we can start the season with the squad we've got but we do want a couple more additions - maybe three." Were Pardews comments after last night, am i the only one absolutely ****ting it and totally panicing and over reacting to this quote that he is 'pretty confident' of starting the season with this squad or does he mean that key players are going to leave so we dont start the season with this squad?

But you appeared to be predicting the season start only a few days ago with your comment 'the flying start will not happen' - or words to that effect, after the draw at Sutton. How can we now not be in a position to predict further into our preseason build up after a win?

C*nt

what are your thoughts on this lads and lasses? Is it real teabagging when you are just laid there with a bird sucking your your balls or did you have to hold your knob up and let them come at it from underneath for it to be considered true teabagging in its purest form?

i despise rats, i have thought about buying a snake so i can feed it live ones and watch them die.

A win now, so does this mean we are now going to come flying out of the traps a week saturday onwards or are we still going to struggle?

Underpromise over deliver. If he said i am very confident and nothing happened then he'd look like a mug. However, lets not over analyse every word of every interview, FFS.

I dont get this reaction of people saying NC and ML are going to pack it all in because a few people moan about decisions that have been made, people bring this up everytime someone speaks out again NC. Do you really think ML has become a successful multi billionaire by taking his ball home everytime some moaned about a decsion one of his senior emplyoees has made?

No need to worry about that this season though hey!! :lol:

Alpine in positive comment shocker!! You been at the prozac fella?

we will probably see stuff like this soon.. http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.thedialecticalplaya.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Stalin1.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.thedialecticalplaya.com/%3Fp%3D10899&usg=__GK-sNo8Twh7vnRxoDFE6k5917xM=&h=800&w=550&sz=88&hl=en&start=1&tbnid=Q4-ll4QM896QyM:&tbnh=143&tbnw=98&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dstalin%2Bpropaganda%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1R2RNTN_enGB382%26biw%3D1003%26bih%3D539%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1 http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.lewrockwell.com/chartier/stalin-with-kids.jpg&imgrefurl=http://thinkingblueguitars.wordpress.com/&usg=__0lD80vuYKJpBJVVZp4RevO5djQU=&h=425&w=298&sz=106&hl=en&start=0&tbnid=l6t1bnza4Zt-hM:&tbnh=124&tbnw=76&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dstalin%2Bpropaganda%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1R2RNTN_enGB382%26biw%3D1003%26bih%3D539%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=775&vpy=69&dur=125&hovh=268&hovw=188&tx=151&ty=147&ei=AuFOTNe6IMzAsAbpp8AQ&page=1&ndsp=19&ved=1t:429,r:6,s:0

IMO the women on these programmes represent everything a woman should not be. Full of hystrionic, whinging, self centred *****es who are total drama queens and in need of a good kick up the c*nt. Before you ask why i watch them, i watch neither, my own Carrie Bradshaw watches SATC and Loose Women i sometimes forget to turn over from as a i work in my dining room and have the TV on in the living room so i can hear them whinging, the bunch of middle aged, unattractive banshies.
