How about this one? Or is it too obvious? http://tinyurl.com/cheating-lying-bastards

"Your chance to own a piece of Nottarf Krap ... From as little as £50" £50 would be a bad investment at the best of times. But it'll be flushing it down the toilet once the bulldozers come in. And a big LOL at SC and the P*******th News trying to convince BC to loosen the pursestrings to bolster their "paper thin" squad. Listen chaps, he's already funding huge wages in a gamble to go up, and you'll only be able to convince BC to dump even more money in if you can guarantee promotion, so that he can recoup it (with considerable interest) later. And by guarantee, that probably means signing a contract in blood.

Yes, he neglected to mention Seaborne's 2 assists on the Saint's goals.

As much as I would love to blame manure, the money from that tie was not the reason. Saints only missed the 10 point carry-over deadline by a few days. Lowe could have easily put us in administration before that deadline, but (IMHO) didn't purely out of spite: Mark Fry let him know that he (Lowe) was not to be involved in the club after the impending administration. And the b.s. about only putting the parent company into administration to avoid the points penalty for the club was just a way for the ruddy-cheeked one to cover his spiteful tracks. I'm certain he knew damned well that wasn't going to work.

So you're saying they're f**ked?

I like those words.

This.

But surely simply not getting promoted would be the end of them? Can't see BC wasting any more money on wages next season in another futile attempt to go up. I'd expect the best the few could hope for is that he'll keep them on life support until the parachute payments dry up. It's such a shame.

I thought first place was rightfully ours?

I think they ought to appeal the red card for an unlucky right hook on an opposing player, squeeze one more game out of him while the appeal is laughed at, and then send him packing back to Stoke to pay his wages (with heartfelt thanks) for the 10 game suspension he'll get for appealing the GBH. After all, they'll need every penny now that their superstar Ben-Haim has returned. Shame they can't cheat their way to Wembley this year. Never mind Cheats, there's always next year ... if you exist, of course.

I think we can safely assume that the last thing both managers want is a replay. To avoid a draw, how could they agree to avoid one? Maybe a gentleman's agreement that if one side is winning with 5 minutes left, the losing team agrees not to score in the remaining minutes? Or, if it's tied with 5 minutes left, one prearranged team (e.g. the one losing the toss) "accidentally" scores an own goal or concedes a penalty? All hypothetically of course. Although if this was played in Germany a real possibility.

Probably not, but most of the few certainly are, he knows it, and that's why he continues to spout the BS.

He's baaaaaack.

... as opposed to hitting it first time into row Z.

Yes, but the "Football Disciplinary Commission which has the power to impose such penalties as it shall think fit" part is so much more satisfying.

Definitely play Lallana, even if only for a few minutes: cup-tied makes him a little bit less tempting to the PL clubs sniffing around.

So close, and yet so far. I'd love to see the look on Corpse Whore's face if that were to happen. It would go straight into BC's pockets, just before he liquidates them.

Phew, from the thread title I thought it may have been about the ruddy faced one.

Swindon have accepted bids from Wigan, Brum, QPR and Saints? Tarts!

His Mum, for starters.

From the title of this thread I was a bit concerned it was going to be about them getting plastered. (If Whiskey George were still here that would probably have been the case.)

I'd settle for them finishing 7th.

Me too. It was mainly downhill from there.

My feelings when NA was appointed were the same when NP was appointed: cautiously optimistic. Now, I'm ... cautiously optimistic. Still early days.
