Bump. It's only gone up £2,400 today. http://www.justgiving.com/thesirbobbyrobsonfoundation

They might be on performance related pay.

How did they both react?

Well done 2j, preaching to the converted.

75 years old and dying of cancer, he still puts others before himself and puts us all to shame.

I wonder what kind of mongfest the next window is going to be.

It's an anagram, work it out, we've got a dyslexic scout.

We swapped it for a League Cup.

I'm not even sure he's worth £2 billion now anyway, I'm sure something like £1 billion was shares he still held in his company, a value that was put on the shares at floatation and they've dropped in value since. I think he received £900 million when he sold shares in his company.

I thought I'd missed something when I read it, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.

I might have missed something here, when did we win that League Cup?

I thought we had s*** crowds?

I haven't defended anything, I've corrected you again about our crowds, nothing more.

I didn't say that we should outspend these teams every single season, you're the one who goes on as if we should. I'm not defending anybody either, I've just corrected what you'd said about our crowds. Also, it was Sir Johns share issue that failed, not that it has anything to do with this thread.

I think he was going by age, not that it makes much difference.

Rubbish, we've always had some of the best attendance figures, even when we were shite we had bigger crowds than most.

Net spend is the actual amount of new money spent, it's the amount of money spent that hasn't come out of incoming transfers, if spend is the sign of ambition then net spend has to be the measure, not that I think spend is the sign of ambition. Also, you don't need to go as far back as the 70's or 80's to find the last time Blackburn out-spent us, you don't even need to leave this decade.

That's far too simplistic, we spent less under Bobby Robson (net) than any other manager since Keegan left and had our best times under him.

Dyer and Jenas were both sold for more than we paid for them, Bellamy was sold for less than £4 million and cost £6 million.

Are you on about the time he was talking to Sky or some other TV channel and he thought it was off the record and it was seen by everybody going out of the ground?

Also, if you take the first letter from the words "Geremi," "Fulham" and "Birmingham" and compile it into its more natural state of "GFB," you'll clearly see that it stands for Geremi's f****** Brilliant. So again, it was written in the stars lads. Let's not act shocked. Does that mean we should play Smith? Shit Mong Is The Hero.

I wouldn't even quote that fictional table as I'd hate to think anybody thought I'd done it, even only for a second.
