  1. When scraping the bottom of the barrel the crud on the bottom becomes more acceptable i suppose.
  2. I dont think the government want the 10-15k jobs gone. You read the Guardian (I assume due to your initial snippet) and so would have seen for the last 10 years jobs in government advertised on ridiculous wages with job titles just as mad. Something on the lines of welfare of the fornication unit of the 18thc nuns- 65k pa I may add that during the budget those low paid public sector workers were rewarded with a bonus, and rightly so. those people are appreciated IMO
  3. It's a barometer.
  4. Is it your modesty that attracts a woman?
  5. Bart IMO is very shy as a person, and that is a major problem for a keeper.I will never forget his performance at Exeter a season or so ago.I then lost all confidence in him ever being reliable enough to be our first choice.
  6. How many have come on and said he shouldnt go as he is hard to replace? Read any thread on here about him and you get loads of critics. Too many remember a mistake in his first season and have never forgiven him. Add all the nonsense posters who say he doesn't come for the ball and doesn't distribute the ball, but then add he's a great shotstopper lol
  7. Im not old but oldnick has other meanings Lol
  8. There were problems over a year ago.
  9. Hey Phil your message box is full. Remember the conversation, dont forget I have a sly contact
  10. I agree.
  11. thanks, the Leicester fans will not be happy
  12. Is that true???????
  13. Johnny Giles hated him with a passion as well. I started going when TP Sydenham Davies Frank Saul (lol) were our forward line. Davies was our hero, but my fathers was TP (Charlie Wayman before him) He used to wind us saying Davies was rubbish and only Paine made him due to his crossing. then Mick Channon came on the scene and he became our new hero. Paine ruled the dressing room and LM had a bit of a power struggle it seems and survived some terrible maulings as the players allowed for some terrible defeats 8-0 at Everton being one. LM won that battle and Paine left the club.
  14. A little knee jerk IMO. Lessons yet again need to be learnt. Can you imagine what would happen if we ditched the top players and played English players from the CCC etc who 'have passion for the shirt etc' Lol The fans who called for it would go ape as we got mullered by Sardinia or Scotland. We only have ot recall our experience of 'playing the youth' here. I still believe it was a fair idea and had we had a little more luck and quality, it could have worked. Our away form was very good, it was our inabilty to get that one win at hom,e that made a lot of fans lose belief. In the main most were supportive at the games, to be fair but the wider fan base got very edgy and that caused more pressure. If Fabio had ditched Terry before the tournament and Lampard on the bench, and played Rooney and Gerrard in their best positions then we may as a team fired.
  15. if that side had not been wearing the Brazillian shirt, people would not be creaming themselves about them. I get sick of the commentators keep saying' Oh they are human, they just passed to the wrong player' We defeat ourselves before playing against teams like this. They do have some very good players but..
  16. He's a skate so he you can't have any self respect......that's good in a woman
  17. I think it is the type of women the footballers now have. They are all keen for self publicity and( apart from Rio's wife) that adds its own pressures and jealousy. The players should be allowed visits from their wives and kids but not as a circus like it was before. JT was out ofr form from the moment the scandal was exposed. Yes he is brave and if he had not become a footballer I could see him at the front of a NF march (IMO) What he gave us is little compared to what he cost us. His interview and his self belief of his player power would not be good in the dressing room. I recall the player power after Mourinho left Chelsea and JT no doubt believes he can do the same at international level. Players are there to play, not to give team/tactical decisions.Weed them out and get a TEAM.
  18. KD is not as appreciated as he should be IMO. i wish him well if he goes. Then we will see what we miss when Bart takes his place.
  19. How would you know what a Golden post constitutes, as you are a new member
  20. It seems to me that the squads morale changed after the Bridge/Terry saga. Perhaps Fabio should have dropped Terry and the poison that came with him. Up until then the squad looked happy but strangely the squad was not the same afterwards
  21. Is the opening post a mickey taking exercise aimed at people like SRS? Apeing the attacks on Cortese IMO. If not!!! Nobody likes change but I suspect if we went back to the old forum we'd be out of sorts wioth that one. IMO we have the best forum around and if you have ever tried to look around UI , it is terrible in comparison.
  22. I dont get the Rooney bashing. He is like Gerrard playing in the wrong position and hence made ineffectual. Lampard was put where he wants to play and that basically f####d our best midfielder.We had no pace/energy in midfield with Barry and Lampard, in fact a lot of the time I thought Barry had the ball r was chasing when it was lampard. They were so static and lumbering around. Heskey was the right sub against Slovenia, yesterday it was gross negligence, and to take off De Foe when you needed a goal. As for the 2 breakaways , even in the Forum game our players knew that you dont all go and stand on the edge of the penalty box bnut have players ready to stop a break away. Tery and Upson were at fault for the first goal, but if you watch James he back peddles instead of coming to clear the ball , it would have been an easy pick up if he hadnt run back
  23. I dont blame the manager normally, but this time I will do so. I fully agree the players need a lot of stick but it was always a mistake IMO not to include the raw pace of Walcott in the squad. he would have turned these defenders and he only needs to do it once or twice a game for it to work.I heard the calls for Joe Cole but can anyone say that he did 1 thing any good in any of his appearances? Barry and Lampard have no pace and so the younger midfielders poured through into our exposed defence. Swapping Terry into his wrong side just to fit Upson in is madness.The same by moving Gerrard to the left nullikfied his game. To bring Heskey on at that stage also ????? Barry and Terry were both caught in possession right up the pitch ,and the germans broke away and scored. Very sad
  24. Watched the 2nd half of Real football factories on Sky last night. What a sad bunch those fans were.All in their 40's+ and singing to the cameras , walking down the streets re-enacting their walk. Each crew the same. Not that id tell them they were a bit pathetic, Lol but what a great bunch they are. Last night was about the midlands, has there been anything about the south yet? As for Danny Dyer.............., was his crew from drama school, the Fame Acadamy crew.
  25. if she's that much of a cow, tell her to f### off and take him for a drink
