great set of results apart from Preston winning at Leicster

The club was happy to continue to pay Robson, honouring his contract, until he got a new job elsewhere. That wasn't enough for him though, he wanted to be able to get another job (possibly for a rival) and carry on leeching supporter's money off us as well as getting paid for managing another club. So he dragged the club through an expensive court case. It was futile in end for him anyway, as noone wanted him after the out of control dressing room he left at SJP which even the best manager in the world would have found difficult to turn around, and ultimately led to our relegation last season. IMO if someone is sacked when under a contract, they're entitled to have that contract paid up in full. In Robson's case, that was only a year's money. For the club to demand that he didn't take any job during the duration of that year or forfeit part of the money was the most fantastic cheek, even if it was within the letter of the law. They showed no appreciation whatsoever for what Robson had done for us. That's why I was so sickened when Shepherd came out with all that public hand-wringing after Sir Bob's death. The payout was to cover him until he got another job, as is the case with most compensation settlements

Whilst he may be potentially the best defender we have seen in years he didnt want to play for us. Whether we get a good price or not we cant afford to have his attitude around the club. He will go the same way as all of the other french players who came and went; domi, distin, benard, zog....... nowhere.

Nicolas Anelka, £500k - £23m. Boumsong £0, £8.5m 5 months later. Almost makes up for the 15 trillion we lost out on Michael Owen. We were the mugs that paid the 8.5m!

Ashley better not have let his mate have him on the cheap. Milk the spud twats for as much as we can!

Are you the NUSC spokesperson? No why should i be its my opinion so f*** off WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!

Good to see this regime continue to play hard ball on fees, nobody can criticise them for this (other than the Given transfer )

Shirt is blue n black stripes with a solid black back. I reckon it should be worn with black shorts but Dundee are.

Are you the NUSC spokesperson?

Didn't Barton sit on top of someone whilst beating the s*** out of them? Gerrard was out of order but not in the same league. Not what he got sent down for

FACT! Everything about it was awful

wrong

I think youll find that many of our shirts have had patches on the back and not just since Ashley came along. Then again, dont let that get in the way of you having a go at him....... Erm, OH REALLY? Care to point one out to me with the exception of the one with the shield on it? All the others were a design with a patch sticthed on to the shirt for players numbers not like the manky patch built into the fabric of the shirt. When i bought a shirt it was black n white stripes, no patch stiched on to it or built in. So i'm entitled to my rant. Check the bold bit, yes we do play in patches and have many times. If they took it off you would be complaining that the replica shirt Mike was selling wasnt a true replica!
