Legod Third Coming

Er that is the God who sent his only son to die, banished the angels from heaven, and sent pestilence and flood to kill millions upon earth and denied me immortality because Adam could not resist a juicy red one... Yeah, ferking great role model he is.

Then I suggest you don't dig too deeply into anyone's character or past. I bet you've never done a single thing illegal, ilegitimate or slightly shady in your whole life... Which would be why your such a barrel of fecking laughs.

hahahahahahahaha That is the most ironic thing I have ever heard

Give it a rest. Do you hang around outside Mother Theresa's hoping that when they clear out her bottom drawer they will find a copy of Big Boy Monthly?? Honestly, some of you people need to get over yourselves!

Nah! Well, maybe him as well but not whom I heard... from a reliable source (ie a bookmaker!)

They would from me. Guess which manager encouraged his players to have a whip round to win money no exactly the same bet... three guesses... lol

Beefy was a rogue who rogered page 3 girls, slipped past his father-in-law on tour to get ****ed up and smoke dope in the Caribbean and eventually had the old bill turn his gaff over to find half a marijuana plant! (allegedly..) But, above and beyond all that is that he won the Ashes, raises millions for charity, speaks his mind and is a bloody nice bloke to have a beer with. Our heroes are not immune from life and failure. George Best - what's he famous for? Depends who you are doesn't it. And how old and your view on life. I never saw him play and can marvel at his ability. I thought he was a drunk and then saw a superb drama about his mum, who was also an alcaholic and suddenly your view changes, you know? As for Le Tiss, he was a naughty boy - big deal. Did he spend the following day beating up his missus? Or at a cancer hospital making someone's life?

Your point?

Bookies are not evil, but they set out to deprive you of money. That is their raison d'etre. Some of them do it quite mischeviously. They live and die by information and misinformation. With spread betting they recognised a great way to deprive punters of potentially unlimited losses. They rubbed their hands with glee. That a few footballers (and there were plenty of them!!) saw a way to cheat the system quite legally is brilliant. I notice very few bookies bet on the time of the first throw-in any more. I wonder why... No doubt bookies will claim to be victims. I wonder though, if we all went long on the throw, would they phone up one of their customers and ask him to do them a favour in return for reducing his sizable liability... Of course not, a bookie, bend or break the rules, ever?? Hush my mouth...

Er, you wouldn't have believed footballer on 4k per week would belt the ball into touch for 10k? Welcome to Earth Nicholas, where is you've been staying????

Nail hit head. Why were more successful under Lawrie in the 70s and 80s? Because we bought better players and gambled successfully on understanding that the best players cost more for a bloody good reason...

I can't be arsed to read all those goody-two-shoes prudes who have no doubt lambasted my hero for this, but as a punter myself let me say... fecking good on you Tiss!! When bookies come up with these daft bets to fleece punters they deserve to get fecking clobbered by those who can control the outcome. It's not like he laid his horse to lose on Betfair and then had it pulled.. Could that go on??? Yeah, every fecking day!!!!!!!!! Bloody Betfair should be outlawed.

on a coach trip would be my guess.

Papa? Nicole?

But for Danny Higinbotham it would have. And we would be in the Premiership, top under good ole Arry... An alternate sliding doors universe that so nearly was, but for that own goal...

It's clear to me that Pardew: 1. Understood we had no leadership in midfield - so signed Hammond. 2. Understood we were weak at the back - so signed Murty, Harding, Jaidi. 3. Understood we had no pace - so signed Papa Wayne. 4. Understood we needed a more potent goal threat - so signed Lambert. How anyone can be critical of him at this juncture is now beyond me. He has clearly attemtped to rectify five years worth of problems in three weeks. What a fecking shame it's taken two relegations and eight managers to get here...

Lol a conspiracy...

Amazing, we let him go for nothing...

We have a wide player in Holmes whose delivery last season was superb until he was injured. I've not seen enough of Mills but perhaps the thinking is he can do the same? James can also deliver the ball. I'm more concerned that we don't have another striking option unless Saga really comes to the party. But if he does, a 'front four' of Lambert Saga Mills and Holmes would be ample to beat most teams in this league, surely?

Christ if we could find someone to play there... hang on.. isn't that what Delap was? And a long throw to boot!

there are so many double negatives in there I have no idea how you feel... Care to elucidate?

In which case, I want fourteen Trade White Emulsions for a tenner!

Good points - we seem to have always lacked width. Even Fernandes never, ever got to the bye-line!!!

Pace we definitely lack!

Go on. Name them? How many goals are actually scored with crosses from the bye-line? I've watched four football programmes today - two live games - and there seem to be no wingers getting in behind and crossing the ball (Ryan Smith doesn't count - and he didn't get one cross in anyway!). So, has this gone from the modern game? Are we asking for width when most goals are now scored from diagonal balls into the box, or balls down the middle? I still crave a pacy winger myself but maybe that's no longer on the agenda?? Thoughts?
