the point, is to point out to those who whinge on about wanting to be like Liverpool, we have been striving to match Liverpool since 1958, and it is to show that since the Halls and Shepherd took over the club we are massively nearer to challenging them than we have been since before they took over the club. And also to point out the mistaken view to many people have that we won trophies galore, always played in europe, always bought top quality footballers and always filled the stadium before the Halls and Shepherd took over the club. It is also to point out that many, many clubs in the past have fallen from heights of actually being championship winners, European Cup winners, through chaning boards or simply just getting things wrong, so being careful and wishing the replacement of a board who have presided such a big improvement, may not necessarily be the golden egg that you hope for. Understand ? Thought not. There are plenty of Luque threads if you want to read something easier and less boring ........ or should I say, not testing your knowledge of the club too much. Meanwhile, I see that Grass has not posted these stats he was going to post yet, nor have he and Mick responded to the facts/questions I have posted, which I am assured happens on a mature board. Now you see, there you go again. I perfectly understand what your point is. Why the need to question the intelligence of another poster?? :roll: It's not the content of your posts that I've got a problem with. In fact I agree with quite a bit of what you say. I can also understand the counter arguments. My main problem is with the fact that you just can't seem to accept that someone could possibly disagree with you. Just because you think something is true doesn't automatically mean it is so. You can't stop people from having an opinion and obviously different people will interpret things differently. As Wullie has said, at least this topic has been contained to one thread. We should all be grateful for small mercies. Nice to know I'm not the only one fed up of this too. I'm fed with it as well. Fed up of repeating the fact that not a small number of quality players left the club while firing a shot that the club was unambitious and unprofessional. That's not an opinion, mate. It's a solid fact. The problem on this forum is caused not by people who don't accept others are entitled to an opinion, that's bollocks because everyone is entitled to that. We don't all agree on the quality of players for example, but that's generally subjective. Me saying Luque is shit is no more a fact than someone saying he's a good player. No, the problem is that a number of people refuse to face facts for whatever reason. I'm not your mate. :|

How the fuck can you lot get all worked up over ancient history? Arguing like kids in the schoolyard over things that may or may not have happened decades ago. "I started going in 1968", "World Cup grants of 1966" & signing internationals in the 70's for fuck's sake...Have you lot got nothing better to do? Your 'debates' rumble on for weeks. I love this club as much as any of you and my opinion is as valid as anyone else's but life's too short to fall out over things that happened sooooooooooooooo long ago. Would it really be so hard to accept each others point of view and agree to disagree?? Everyone is entitled to their opinion but it's clear that neither side will be able to convince the other to agree with them. Life's too short gentlemen. :roll: :roll:

Excellent piece of business from the Fat Man. Thought £10m was a bit pricey but £5m is superb. Andy Johnson to Everton for £8.5m puts it into perspective. Quality player for a knock-down fee.

The biggest issue I have with the forum is when threads get hijacked, twisted and decsend into endless diatribe, which is why these posts were removed from another thread. I agree though, the NUFC forum is shite and has been for a long time, I doubt many would disagree either. Gen chat is canny though. One of the main reasons I've personally given this place a wide berth since the end of the season. I don't come on here after a hard day's graft to fucking 'debate'. I come on here to have a laugh and a bit of a giggle. This particular forum reminds me of pub with a group of canny lads who just want to get along with each other........then there's the boring bastards who sit in 2's or 3's staring into their pints all night - moaning like fuck about the same things, night after night after night. Life's too short. I'm fucking back off to GC for the forseeable future. Get on with it lads. :|

Was it something I said? :roll:

Listen love, 3 months ago we were staring down the barrel of relegation. We couldn't score, let alone win a game. Now, because of Roeder et al we are guaranteed top half and maybe a possibility of Europe via Intertoto. You can keep your 'Bye bye Europe' comments and wake up. They're not needed or welcome. :|

Knee's jerking left, right and centre I see. As I've said, let's just get a bit of perspective here. When Souness left us we were what 14th? and the squad's morale was on the floor. Now, we're upto 6th with a shout of Europe and still some are slagging the team and Roeder off. Staggering. so we're not going to qualify for Europe, so what! I'm just happy we're still in the Premier League.

3 months ago we were thinking we were kissing top flight football goodbye. Perspective please gentlemen. Top half at the end of January seemed pie in the sky. The team and management should be congratulated, not criticised. :|

I think that if the Arse win the CL but finish 5th, then Spurs would get a UEFA cup place because arsenal would take their CL place. Meaning 4th, and 6th would get UEFA places plus either Boro or West Ham. Unless Boro win the UEFA cup this year......
