  1. We'll just deduct my winnings from what I owe you for the ST installments, right?
  2. Ok, I can confirm that "****shire" is ITK-****-head code for "Veneto".
  3. FFS! Don't post Patred's PM on here. You've thrown the whole thing into doubt. On your head be it. Numpty.
  4. Right - I can confirm that he scored 22 league goals last season in 43 league starts.
  5. O'Grady - he looked good. I am going to google him.
  6. Seriously? EDIT- I am referring to the Guly bit, not the O-C comment.
  7. The ball actually went out of play during that tussle so we were shafted by the lino. FFS - lino, give us our club back!
  8. I feel sorry for your friend's loss but that's clearly an unintended consequence of any dispute between the Echo and the club. It's not fair to castigate anyone over that in this particualr instance.
  9. I can see Deppo getting us out of League One but I'm not sure if he can hack the pressure in the Prem, should we make it through the Championship.
  10. Deppo is Paul Hart. I thought everyone knows that?
  11. It's not even "positive" thinking, it's just evidence of the sensible application of a modest amount of intelligence.
  12. Indeed. The transitional period will probably comprise of two games: A JPT defeat - never mind, could be a blessing in disguise; and, a defeat in a league game where no matter the manager we could have played all day and not scored a goal. No biggy.
  13. Until they realise he has the managerial spunk and personality of a cork.
  14. Yeah, but not washed up singers. That's just madness.
  15. I sincerely hope not. Good musician, sure, but what does he know about League One? I wouldn't even trust him to appoint a Prem manager TBF, despite his ESPN subscription. And you can't be sure he's off the Daz either.
  16. He got a job holding up a "Stop, Northam Road is a road" sign but it was on the condition he did one from here.
  17. TBF, he's done **** all of note, IMO, since The Velvet Underground so I won't get my hopes up.
  18. Well he will, won't he? I am chilled.
  19. This chap:
  20. Can we get Ranieri's translator? He was ace.
  21. WTF? Yeah, we only bring people in from Serie A on loan and sign one of the best centre backs in the Championship. I imagine any prospective managers will be put off by the fact they won't be able to sign Ibrahimovic or Ozil.
  22. I thought he was too frugal. He made some good managerial appointments - Dave Jones, Hoddle (at the time) and WGS but when we needed to press on he, for some reason, took the cheap option with Wigley when he'd already decided he'd made a mistake with Sturrock. If we'd appointed a half decent manager and spent a bit of cash on a centre back we I don't think we would have got relegated. He later compounded these mistakes with his ludicrous attempts to play the saviour when he ousted Crouch which may ultimately prove to have done more harm than we could have imagined at the time (I'm pretty confident we would have won the play-offs last season but the minus ten put paid to that and I'm pretty sure Crouch and Pearson would have kept us in the Championship without losing the support of the bank). So, overall, I think he was poop as he failed to capitalise on some relative success and then appeared to go mental towards the end causing all manner of damage.
  23. Thank you.
  24. It's funny becasue if Puncheon took that gold-plated chance at the start of the second half, after we carved them open yet again, then half of these threads wouldn't exist. Yet because a player made a mistake there is something inherently wrong with the character of the club apparently. ****ing babies.
