Any particular reason for your pessimism ?

I hope you have mellowed out about NC now. I for one trust Markus's judgement of character.

Erm, no I didnt. I gave an example involving Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool players. Suggest you go back and READ.

Yep. Been getting under my skin all day this one has. But Cricketphilly is OK.

If that is true, I think it shows how deep their friendship was, and I hope the Sun has the decency to drop its stupid little crusade..

Thats appalling.

Possibly. Anyway, I am done with this now. My apologies to all those I offended. Lack of respect is just one of things that get under my skin.

Yeah, I am fed up with it. I bit, stupid me. We are supposed to be paying our respects and I saw red at threads about selling the team without any facts supporting the notion. My apologies to the decent people on this site.

Because that's all its going to be, isnt it ? Willing to risk promotion on that, are you ? Thank heavens you arent in charge of team affairs.

Yep, just keep ignoring the point I made. Havent got an answer, have you ?

Yeah, either he is so aloof he really isnt aware of the world the way turns, or it was some kind of Sex-Pistols anti-establishment statement.

Not to you, it seems. Thats your opinion and you are entitled to it. For me, it demonstrates a total lack of respect for the importance of the occasion. I am entitled to think that too. Anyway, I am glad that the memorial service was so appropriate and moving. Markus's influence on the club will be much missed.

So, you are now trying to claim that our first team is so good it wont lose ? Oooookaaaay....

Nope still struggling, I see. Of course a back-up player isnt as good as the first choice player - is that really so difficult for you to follow ? That does NOT mean teams arent getting in cover. This season is only 2 games long and we have already demonstrated that we will struggle without Lambert. Therefore it is prudent to do what we can to find cover for him in case of injury or suspension. Its cover, aimed at being as good as possible so overall team performance hardly drops, FFS, not a bloody clone. Jesus, it aint rocket science.

Reckon it demonstrates the level of respect and consideration that player has. And he aint even that good.

This isnt the memorial thread. And your cynical attempt to claim the moral high ground is hypocritcal. And I have quoted you.

Personally more concerned about him turning up dressed like a bum, to be honest...

Mental. Why does a back-up player have to be "as good" as the player he is backing up ? How can he be a back-up player then ?

Its not me questioning the intentions / motivations of the sadly-departed owner's family. I have complete faith in them doing the right thing.

I dont know what to say. I wish I had a friendship like this. I reckon whats good enough for Markus, is good enough for me. I trust NC to do the biz.

Why not ? They came as close to destroying freedom and civil liberties in the UK as any Orwellian novel.

So, what happened to the happy-clappy facade ? Thanks for proving my long-held theory that you are just a WUM.

This. Very much this....

And what useful stuff you learned, along with to ability to sound a bit pompous and self-satisfied...

What a complete hypocrite. Doddisalegend's first point proved the assetion I made, but you just glossed over that to attack me on the second point he made which was in contradiction to what I said (and therefore his first point). Lecture me about how I respond to peoples posts when you have got your own house in order.
