Right, but it was a petty act. Undeniably so. Which was my point. You made the assertion that Lowe's "strength of character" (or something) made him above petty acts. You were wrong.

I suspect they are an annual event and in no way dependent on an unhealthy economoy. Anyway, I'm still waiting to hear Flashman's tip.

Who do you think should win?

Of course, he'd never replace a picture of the club's most golden day with a painting of a train just to score a cheap point in a pointless vendetta.

Sorry. I suppose there's a chance he would flounder at this level anyway?

So are we going to snapper him up in Jan?

Exactly. You would, however, have moron Man U fans saying "Fergie out", "we're doomed", "we'll never win anything again" etc...

You think this year's team will do worse than last year's? You're mental / posting crap for fun.

FFS. We will not finish anywhere near the bottom four.

It's not the negativity that saddens me - people are entitled to have a negative outlook if they wish - it's the mind-numbing ignorance and emotional incontinence. Inadequate people.

That didn't happen either.

Is he ******** - he's a cheating, spade faced ****.

Complete ignorance of the highest order.

If we sign Henri Camara I will go ape **** berserk.

I need a coach and mentor.

The best African we have ever signed was Jimmy Belmadi. Proper class.

We turned down bids for Lallana, Dyer (and possibly Surman) in January. Ironically that is probably why we had -10 this season.

What you utterly fail to realise is that this happened many years ago and the practice has since been outlawed. Having a laugh at this caper is not condoning low-level corruption. I would like to think that low-level corruption no longer exists. But it did then and everyone was up to it. Different epoch, dude. Epoch.

Rooney's pen against Arsenal was more of a dive IMO.

Interesting to note that we won the match and MLT scored too - maybe the sense of contrition spurred him on!

It's a complete steaming turd of a decision - a proper rotter - arising out of the absurd hysterical reaction of the Scottish FA and the perverse fact that such a joke nation carries quite a lot of influence in UEFA.

I couldn't really give a **** about this. I would be surprised if there were many top-flight matches at the time that weren't subject to a spread betting scam. That doesn't excuse it but frankly it's a minor thing. As for people moaning about giving the ball away, the punt off the wing is still used today and there's something to be said for gaining a territorial advantage early on. Personally, I **** myself every time Saints have a throw-in near our own goal line. This was a play that could have actually helped the team - it's completely different from letting a goal in or missing a sitter on purpose.

It's a little known fact that Lee Todd has a spell with Livorno in the early 90s.

There is absolutely no way that Lee Holmes should start the match. He was rushed back last season and he just ended up crocked again. Would be stupid to play him from the start IMO.
