    Wow, what an absolutely moronic post. Like others said Crouch was the only one to pump money out of his own pocket into to keeping the club afloat in the months prior to the Liebherr takeover when other fans with the cash just sat back and watched. Of course lets not forget he paid for the replacement Ted Bates statue out of his own pocket too. If I bumped into him on match day I'd have no qualms in shaking his hand and thanking him for keeping the club limping along in 2009, without his cash we might not have lasted till ML and NC come along. His leaving statement from 2007: http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/1564979.0/
  2. Well chuffed with the progress so far, although am mightily disappointed with the dip in form due to injuries. Villa and Spurs at home stand out from most as I really think we'd have got at least 4 points from those games. Terrible foresight from our management/recruitment team not to bring adequate defensive cover, espically with the money spent on Dani which isn't looking too good a decision currently. the January transfer window will give us a very good indication of where NC wants us to finish depending on whether reinforcements are bought in.
  3. J-Rod will get another chance if he carries on at this rate I'm sure, he really needs to take it big time to go to Brazil. I reckon Lambert is already pencilled in, it would take something special from Andy Carroll to take his place IMO. Lallana just needs to carry on what he's doing and he'll be on the plane f'sure
  4. No chance, he'll still be with us for a while I reckon.
  5. Seen this mentioned on a few different threads but I don't see why he needed to celebrate it really as like most of us he was probably ****ed off that we threw away a lead so softly, and that his goal merely made it 2-2 because Jos and Gazza screwed up again. Maybe he had no faith his goal would count for much given our defence at the moment. Think people are looking for something that isn't there.
  6. Yes, the way he remained rooted to his line for the first was embarrassing, just like one of the goals we conceded against Villa. A keeper should at the very least attempt to claim any cross into the 6 yard box.
  7. Is he not intelligible as he has already represented France U-21's?
  8. Begovic would be a cracking signing, don't know why he'd want to leave Stoke for us though, it's not a big as step as it would be if one of the usual top 6 were after him.
  9. Just thinking the same, there's enough rumours as it is, let alone the pressure this will put on.
  10. I liked Anders, thought he was a very decent player, but was perhaps a bit too technical for the way we played football back then. He'd have been a hell of a player in the Adkins team I reckon. As mentioned above that spurs game in the cup is probably my favourite memory of him, or his MOTM performance away at Leicester which was also a 4-0 win. left under a bit of a cloud if I remember rightly, was quoted in the Swedish press about how he was in danger of getting a bad neck from watching all the long balls go over his head, and claiming he'd reveal all about the shambles behind the scenes when he writes an autobiography one day.
  11. Pretty sure Craig Richards moved to Australia to try his luck at football, not sure how he got on or if he's still down under. Incidentally he has the honour of being the first player of any age group to score a Saints hattrick at St Mary's, which isn't bad considering he was a defender.
  12. Pretty uninspiring choice of TV games apart from the North London derby. Genuinely thought we might get a look in considering how ours and Burnley's league seasons are going.
  13. Do West Ham still class themselves as "The academy of football"? About time we took the nickname if you ask me.
  14. Hard to argue with this, Gazza would have easily been able to punch it clear at the very least.
  15. My mate has just posted a pic on fb of Villa having a prematch training session down Riverside Park, let's hope a few of their players turn a few ankles in the countless holes and divots!!
  16. Correct me if i'm wrong, but despite their point today everyone else's results means they are even closer to the drop zone than before 3pm today. All together now..... Sha la la la la la la la
  17. In no particular order: GTA V, truly was as epic as everyone hoped it would be. The Last Of us, stunning looking game, with a very good story to boot, set the bar for all future survival horror games. Tomb Raider, breathed new life into a very tired franchise, highly enjoyable. and even though its had mixed reviews i'm still really enjoying Arkham Origins. Look forward to seeing what the next gen holds for the franchise.
  18. Can't really go slating Adidas for the fact we have a winter training range, as we also done the same when we produced our 'S' branded gear a few years back. Actually think it looks quite smart, and the luminous t-shirt is perfect for people that enjoy road-running so I shall probably invest in one myself.
  19. Been reading the tweets from https://twitter.com/rupertevelyn this afternoon, makes some of the Saville stuff pale in comparison. Utter utter sick individual, deserves to be put down, in an entirely painful way. To think I paid money to see that ****.
  20. Its all very Lewis vs Klitschko isn't it? If Froch decides to retire he will always be derided for avoiding a deserved rematch to a fight in which he struggled, yet found a way to win. That being said Groves clearly surprised everyone with his quick and sustained offence, not sure that element of surprise would work a second time.
  21. it used to be that the whole ground would stand for a penalty in anticipation of a goal, why on earth would anyone sit down knowing they will in all likely hood be jumping up to celebrate in a few seconds.
  22. Thats clearly not what I said is it.
  23. Going to watch football is the only real release some people get from their day to day lives,so I have no issue with swearing at football whatsoever. If people with kids don't want to hear it then go sit in the family section, it's what it's there for.

    Of course we can, a foolish error indeed but still a top top keeper.
