"The backers would have pulled the plug" - don't be a moron. You think they give a toss about who is in charge? It's the bottom line that counts. If you honestly think Crouch would have continued letting the club spunk money, despite the clear factual evidence to the contrary (ie. loaning out Skacel and Rasiak), then you are quite, quite odd.

This really is a candidate for the dumbest thread ever started.

That made me chuckle too, although the site of him makes me cringe.

If that's true than I fail to see how they could do any better.

I feel obliged to point out that Martin Lee was the number 1 junior in the world at one point.

Nadal is one of the most defensive players on the tour. He's a counter-attacker the same as Hewitt, Murray etc.. Federer is by far the most entertaining player. Followed by Santoro for sheer oddness.

It's funny that the myth that we play nice football still seems to be going strong. I imagine most people watched us a couple of times towards the start of the season and had our cards marked from that point. The fact that of late we genuinely play distinctly uninspiring football seems to have gone unnoticed.

Frankly, who cares what his motives are? The simple fact is that if he is acting in what he genuinely believes to be the best interests of the club that is scant consolation and he is evidently utterly inept. I would rather have a malignant achiever than a well-intentioned fool. Unfortunately we seem to have two deluded fools at the moment.

I can only think of one thing she is good for.

Which posters are you talking about? If it's just FF then the difference is, as others have clearly pointed out, that he is a fan who has formed his own opinion which happens to have put him firmly in the "pro-Crouch, anti-Lowe" pigeonhole. He may post info but people are free to take it with a pinch of salt if they wish. Lowe (or more specifically, was it SFC of SLH?) employed professionals to pretend to be things they weren't and post phantom opinions.

Disappointing.

It only costs £7.99. http://www.ukofficialdeedpoll.com/products.php

Lisbon is quality for a weekend. I went to the Lisbon derby at the Alvalade last season. Some awesome crowd scenes although was quite glad to have been in the posh seats and not in the home end when the police baton charged! Wil try and go to the same match at the Estadio da Luz some day. If you fly into Lisbon you get a great approach over the city and can see both the stadia from the air really well.

I can't believe this pathetic class warfare. Just because he has a double-barrelled surname people assume he's some sort of monkey.

Not billions but several 10s of millions.

Everyone knows that Saga is a more acomplished all round player than DMcG at the moment. I do object to projections like this though. McG scored four in our first four competitive games; or two in our first three legaue games if you prefer. That would have given him at least 22 goals by now. But it didn't. But it is about as useful to know as what Saga would have scored had he played in other matches that he didn't play in but had achieved the same results as he achieved in the matches he did play in. Utterly pointless.

Most people are united in not wanting to pick a left winger on the right, have Lallana doing nothing and play one up front though!

I agree he has a lot of potential but he lets himself down with basic stuff IMO like, as you point out, his ability to "do a job" for the team. I'm sure he will come good but I think he should be used as a bench player for the moment. Right winger on the right. Left winger on the left. Two strikers. Solid centre mid. Easy!

If Smith starts the next match on the right wing (or at all really), I will cry a bit.

Interesting that hardly anyone (including me!) wants Lallana in their first 11.

---------------KD----------------- James---Perry----Saiejs-----Skacel Gillet---Shchneiderlin---Euell---Surman --------Saga------McG---------- I would also have given Thomson a proper run on the right wing as I thought he showed promise but haven't really seen enough of him to put him in my first XI at the mo. If Gillet and James isn't working, BWP or McClaggon are also options on the right as well as Thomson.

But if they think that a threadbare club in League One would achieve that, should we accept it? From their actions you have to conclude either that they couldn't care less if we're relegated again or that they are utterly incompetent. Why didn't they work with Crouch instead of ousting him in such a shambolic way? If they truly cared about the club they would have done that. IMO the only conclusions are that Lowe is motivated by revenge and a desire to keep the club solvent at all costs in the hope that by some fluke it might be worth some money again one day. Wilde took a punt which backfired badly, he is terrified of his shares going down the pan and Lowe has got to him.

Damn right we're not. We're the Man United of the south.

I think it's a different Pele.
