    Still don't really understand it tbh. Championship clubs have always signed players on short term loan deals, and we are not the only club who has said we will use it. Yeah, I don't really understand it either. Probably like most things in football, there are rules but you don't have to abide by them if you don't fancy it. The term 'emergency' is just their way of getting round the transfer window for lower league clubs. It doesn't have to be any special situation to sign a player on loan for 3 months. Which is what is said in that thread if you read it all. Consider me chastened. Give me a minute to google what chastened means. Ok. I now considered you chastened.

    You couldn't remember "YO Sushi" ?
  5. This was a retarded opinion in the first place. One of our managers, years ago, under a previous owner, chose not to play a loan signing too often. OH MY GOD, the heartless b******. Whether it was the right decision or not, it was Roeder's choice to play Rossi, and he generally chose not to. So yeah, it didn't work out great for Man Utd, but there are never any assurances. Fergie isn't retarded, he knows this, so quite why people around here see it as some massive travesty of justice is beyond me. Bollocks, Fergie carrys more grudges than the Krays. Know him well, do you?
  6. What's the difference between relying on midfielders to score and relying on strikers to score? errr.... Seriously, explain it. The difference between a striker and a midfielder? No. Again, avoiding the question. What are you on, man? Read my post above. I was quoting Chezgiven, I answered you. Chezgiven totally avoided my argument which wasn't trying to state the difference between a striker and midfielder. Yeah! Totally. Its too banal a question to engage in. If your team scores 100 goals a season then it doesnt matter who scores them. If your team needs to score 100 goals (a hypothetical example), then you wouldnt rely on midfield to do it. So "What's the difference between relying on midfielders to score and relying on strikers to score? ", the difference being that the probability of tjhe midfielders getting the goals is lower seeing as they arent specialist goal scorers. But the midfielders have have already proven they are capable of scoring enough, hence why we are top with only one of our strikers having scored and most goals coming from midfield. If Nolan and Guthrie were suddenly said to now be strikers would that mean the worry was over? 'proven'

    Obviously. How is that obvious? He's mediocre at best, and English. Ah, fair point.
  8. England under-21 and West Bromwich Albion footballer Joe Mattock has been charged with assaulting four people. Dodged a bullet after all?

  10. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/irish/3028231.stm Must be good.
  11. *UEFA rules permit any player born on or after 1 January 1988 who has been eligible to play for the club for any uninterrupted period of two years since his 15th birthday to be registered outside of the 25-man squad limit. Therefore, anyone who qualifies under that rule does not need to be listed in the main champions league squad to be eligible to play. Conversely, people eligible under that rule will always be listed to play, even if the management have no intention of playing them. Nothing to see here people. Oh my god! A horrible plane crash! Hey everybody, get a load of this flaming wreckage! Come on, crowd around, crowd around!
  12. Aye. People need to be very careful about their pre-planning for getting to the games. I imagine it isn't too difficult to know whether certain games have already been considered for TV coverage or not.
  13. I prefer Colo to Dunne tbh

    RIP sale thread.

    Is that not just puberty kicking in? That's the sort of comment I'd expect from a bloke going through his midlife crisis. What colour convertible are you getting? I haven't passsed my test yet and its wor lasses car so I dont think she will be trading it in. Unlucky. You certainly told him.
  15. He gets absolutly no s*** on here tbh. None wotsoever. The only reason on this occasion it's negative towards Villa is because they signed Dunne and tbh there's no positive twist you can put on that sort of thing. I agree with KD here. Don't think anyone has given brummie any shit whatsoever? I and other people have questioned Villa's transfer policy, but brummie does this too..? i.e. he's realistic as you say. Sure he's involved in standard football arguments, but nothing beyond that.
  16. I take it the plan after this would be off to the pub to watch the match? (Or off to the match, if you're going to the match and can drive to Cardiff really, really fast)
  17. good for the plastics like me. Plastic win
  18. Kanu signed deal with Pompey.
  19. I don't know why you've said I'm talking shit, you haven't actually disagreed with anything I've said. Djourou probably is better than Yobo, neither are as good as Bassong imo. Distin occasionally plays LB (not RB) but won't this season because Baines is there. I'm not going to pretend I know much / anything about Vermalean, but I certainly won't pretend he's proved himself on the basis of 4 games. If he turns out as good as you say then I'd probably have Arsenal's defenders over Spurs's, but I pretty much said that anyway. .. think he was referring to babatunde.
  20. I'm pretty sure he could've found a worse person to compare you to like Even if Mr.Cutler does look like a stupid fat bastard.
  21. why's no one mentioned him? he's creative & can score... i'm sure i'm missing something about him though.... He's fucking slow and really poor. Oh, and he's scored 21 goals since 1993. Hardly a goal machine. I can't say I thought he was particularly creative either. Are you thinking of the right person?
