  1. it may be the only way forward for the club, given the financial climate. Its a diffrent market now. Things actually seem to be coming together a bit now, Ashley's penny pinching completely f***ed us up, but I think I'd prefer that than us being in a West Ham or Portsmouth situation like we may have been had Sheppard continued his borrowing. The way I see it: Ashley's an idiot, and has gone about pretty much everything the wrong way. Weirdly enough, despite royally cocking up the short term future of the club, it may have saved our long term future. Imagine what we could have done had we had a competent owner. does that mean you think we really had to cut costs and quickly ? It means I think had we continued with the transfer policy we were following under the old board we'd have been screwed. Sadly Ashley took it way too far in the opposite direction and would hardly spend at all. what if he had planned to spend but only when he freed up money by getting rid of some big earning wasters ? not saying thats what happened but it's as likely as "he's an idiot" ? What if he did? Doesn't change the fact that his inability to spend when we really needed it (after selling the likes of Zog) was part of what got us relegated. his inability ?.....wasn't it the clubs inability ? just because we sold zog doesn't mean we have that money to spend when the big wasters were still there. No, his inability. He's the man with the money, he's the one that lets the manager spend or not. Are you honestly saying you were satisfied with the January window last season? It was a joke man, we needed investment and we got Nolan and Taylor. Wasn't good enough, at all. no i wasn't happy but in the position i could just about understand it or as you say, we could have been in pompeys position...is it beyond the realms of possibility that he saw that. still can't excuse him bringing in kinnear and then hughton mind.

    Players in public

    when i was in middle school we had a teacher who'd let the best pupil (behaviour and work) away early. maybe jose had been a good boy ?
  8. Read that he refused to play, nothing wrong with him Not encouraging. Quite understand GG's bitterness. On the contrary I quite like his display of cuntishness, it means he has a strong belief in his own ability. Just as long as he's not deluded as well. surely he could play for the people who pay his wages while still having a strong belief in his own ability. it's just another case of a player thinking he should be able to unilaterally alter his contract.
  9. fee....nufc ? shurely shome mishtake

  15. i started off thinking along those lines but couldn't contemplate putting smith,nolan and butt in there together.
  16. I once had an argument with him in the Leazes car park. i hope it wasn't polite or non-violent. he plays/played at a squash club a friend of mine played at. he played the part of the famous man around the club. when it was their turn to play, my friend whopped his arse and roger wasn't happy with people laughing from the spectators area. wouldn't speak in the changing area and left straight away instead of his usual "look at me i'm famous" stroll.
  17. i didn't want to go out of it....just didn't give a shit about it.
  18. lots of use of the teerm stonewall in this thread. i'm fairly sure it's an attempt to lure in poor unsuspecting gays, lesbians and bi's.
  19. first paul hart at QPR........when did poyet take over at brighton ? so much is passing me by these days.
  20. He didn't play today. Not that I disagree with your assessment. Cheers. Need to mover closer to the TV evidently. just not your weekend is it ?
  21. he was like that when he was at the ground.
