  1. Find it difficult to believe that MP would have taken the job if there was a problem with funding for any reason.
  2. I have another idea. Lets wait until the very last minute when all the clubs are vying for the same players and trying to beat the transfer deadline, there has got to be a bargain or two to be had.......................................................oh! Agree with Alps, get your targets in early, either which way you are going to pay top dollar.
  3. A little proof that we will need to seriously dip into the transfer market in the summer. There's no excuses for a home thumping.
  4. What is your problem man, I did'nt say that modern bundesliga crowds are like english crowds from the 60's, I said that the atmosphere was as enticing to me as the football in the 60's. Whether or not Bundesliga crowds wear expensive merchandise or their songs are orchestrated and their terraces have no wit or banter, they generate an electric atmosphere as I experienced at the Arsenal match despite the fact that there was only 3000 odd of them.
  5. Maybe, but I dont think I heard many of the chants repeated twice. As for "Would hate that to ever catch on over here", well I for one would prefer the atmposhere created by German fans. When I was a kid going to the Dell in the 60's the atmosphere was as enticing to me as the football. Weirdly enough, when I went to the new wembley to watch us in the JP final a couple of years back, the atmosphere there came close what with the banks of red and white and the flags and general noise etc, unforunately the chants were as per standard but all in all pretty damn good, add a bit of the german type chanting etc and general celebration and it would have been amazing.
  6. I went with my cousin an Arse season ticket holder to watch them play Bayern Munich in the Champions league a few months back and the bayern fans were just awesome and gave far more entertainment than the Arse fans who were pathetic in comparison. The bayern fans were even singing songs in english like "Sing when your winning and Three lions on your shirt", plus they would do these clapping routines along with coordinated jumping and arm movement, sounds tacky but in actual fact looked really impressive with 3000 plus all in sync. What with flags and flares it was a real spectical, not to mention their quality of football. I would love to go over there for a game to capture the atmosphere. I dont know what has happened over here, but it has become all so predictable and sanitised, same songs, same chants ie(were by far the greatest team the world has ever seen) fecking pathetic and sung by every fan of every club in this country, lack of any real atmosphere and charging outrageous prices to witness it.
  7. i could'nt care less how he comes over on camera, what he wears or whether he smiles or not. I don't think he is arrogant, if anything I think he is slightly reserved and shy, all that matters is the results on the pitch and so far I think he has done the business.
  8. I dont like that statement just as much as I would not like to hear MP say that one day he would like to manage Real Madrid. He probably does, however, I hope he chooses not to make that statement whilst under the employ of this club. That sort of comment is so fecking disrespectful to the club he is presently playing for.
  9. Begging charity adverts on tv.
  10. People who keep tapping me when they are talking. People who talk too close to me and invade my space.
  11. Misbehaving kids on a flight. People who park their car next to mine when I have deliberately parked a distance away to have some peace whilst my mrs shops. Guys who walk with attitude. Numb nut pro footballers who cannot string a sentence together. Hoodies. Local TV news.
  12. TV Adverts. Drivers who cut you up and then give you the finger. People who go shopping in a petrol station when you are waiting to get to the pump. Nosey people. Flys TV repeats
  13. Its weird because I know he has got it, I was impressed with him when I saw him at arsenal even though we were dicked 6-1 and thought that he will be a real exciting asset to us, but for some reason it has not really happened. At the moment I am frustrated with him and am thinking could that money have been better spent but there is also something telling me that he will come good. Whether he is unable to settle in the UK and is unhappy, or maybe our style does not suit him or the actual game over here is different to what he is use too I dont know, but if we sell him now there is no way we will recoup anything near what we paid so on reflection it perhaps it might be best to keep him and hope that MP sorts him out and starts bringing the best out of him.
  14. Ditto
  15. Ah come on ref, at least I didn't show my studs.
  16. Was really excited by Gaston and he showed bits of flair when first here but has gone downhill since. He is a frustrating player who has the ability to be class but who's attitude holds him back. Hope we recoup our money spent on him but doubt it. Missed a real sitter today and I can no longer defend him .
  17. Agreed, was dubious at first but has really come good second half of the season.
  18. What a stupid infantile question and got the deserved answer. Well done MP
  19. Should have been captain, needs to be captain.
  20. Who cares what he wears as long as he keeps us up. Bank managers wear suits.
  21. Na, honesly never rated him that much, scores the odd spectacular goal and is an honest player but really proves how low we are on true footballing talent in this country if Gerrard is regarded as a legend. I can count on one hand the truly great games he has had for England and I think the only reason he is popular is because of his bulldog spirit. Great player no way.
  22. Overrated
  23. Perhaps they have borrowed from another bank on the basis of the tv money coming to pay off present banks debt that seems to be the way these days of anarchic football financing. Hope they get dragged into relegation and go down, that'll be interesting.
