  1. I think Ian Beale did this once?
  2. I was watching a bit of Barnsley v Luton the other day and apparently Barnsley have a Chinese "billionaire" owner too. Basically, the "English football league" is dead. I also recall watching half and half bedecked, grinning simpletons in the home end at Old Trafford posing for selfies with Lucas Moura this season after Spurs trousered them at home. I think this will be last season with an ST.
  3. Bring Puel back in to steady the ship? It would require some people to swallow their pride but it's the smart move.
  4. Our basic model of signing players who are likely to appreciate in value and want to impress other clubs is sound. Teams like West Brom and Sunderland got into trouble because their squads were packed with aging average players that they couldn't sell to reinvest. However, it's clear that the current first team has problems with holding on to leads and I think part of that is down to leadership and mental toughness. If we can sign a couple of players with the attributes to fix that then we should, whether they are 22 or 32. With the money available in the PL, not everyone has to have resale value and when you are flirting with relegation then it's a false economy to focus exclusively on long term.
  5. Near the start.
  6. Saw one of your films the other day and I have to say, I was impressed with your stamina. The way that guy was going at it but you kept a stiff upper lip and dealt with it stoically and, for the most part, with some dignity.
  7. Can he play right back? Lolzz.
  8. Yeah, Bennett actually became OK. Davenport was ****e and remained ****e. Anyway what's Allaedine Yahia up to?
  9. What could be better than a home kick off at 13:30 on a Sunday? Rejoice!
  10. Helmut Kartoffelnsalad.
  11. Cheers chaps.
  12. Or maybe they are getting promotions and bonuses but, unsurprisingly and due to historical actuality, the majority of executives in organisations are still white blokes. Unless someone can show that BAME people are paid less than non BAME people for doing the same job it's all a little pointless (same as the gender reports).
  13. It would be pretty odd if they were.
  14. That guy was completely out of his depth. Incoherent, rambling and unable to debate sensibly. Obviously he's not alone in that but he was a complete waste of a seat.

    Gay cake

    Actually, yeah! I'd do them a chocolate "log". A real Cleveland Steamer of a cake. With **** in t'batter and red and white icing inside. With the white made out of jizz and the red made out of dirty blood. The ****ing ****ers.

    I, for one, would not make a skate cake. So I have to agree with the decision.

    Gay cake

    Probably go with a PIE for that, rather than a cake. Unless the aim is to entice kids.
  20. ****ing travesty really. Glad we were in it when we were!
  21. Check a traaaaade. Check-a-trade dot com.

  23. Agree with all that but we would need decisive leadership to deliver that and we don't seem to have it.
  24. We've won 5 league matches from the last 39 so I would suggest a winning streak is looking unlikely.
  25. Don't get me wrong, I don't want an owner who makes a tit of himself by spouting off and not delivering, like Everton or West Ham have. I don't want Gao getting personally involved in footballing decisions where he has no expertise. What I do want, though, is some sense that he has any purpose or clue whatsoever because at the moment it just looks like he just wanted to get some cash out of China and give his domestic profile a boost. Why has Kat kept 20%? Presumably because he couldn't meet the asking price. It all looks rather odd.
