I thought you missed the point about a manager, given that you mentioned Ashley.

He'd possibly be the best winger in the Championship by a comfortable margin. Way to miss my point. I think if we kept everyone we have right now and just added a striker, we'd have a non-zero chance of going up even with Ashley on board. He means we could have Pele circa 1970 but with some thick cunt in charge we wouldn't go up

Dogging

Just thought, did you change your username as you knew about the bid for duff, you changed it a few days ago didn't you? Wullie changed it for me yesterday after the Duff bid was announced, seeing as whoever am I inevitably leaves this is as good a chance as any.

I'm quite happy with the signing, but moreso because for me, as already mentioned, it means we're actually doing something.

Would rather have Katy Perry

Did he play much on loan at Blackburn last season?

Signed before 12, so I don't see why not.

Played against us in the 6-0 and attacked like a madman, which is canny. Probably better than Ryan Taylor who will probably move to the wing in the absence/sale of our other wingers. Was on loan the mackems as well I think, in their promotion season.

Nobody and for the money Ashley's prepared to spend we'll get gash in. He is trying to stick 2 fingers up at us all for sure. Go to the reading match, Protest, then never go back until he's out. Hit him in the pocket, it's the only thing he understands. Hit him in the cock and he'll understand quicker

Him and Jonas had been on international duty, I very much doubt they'd have been expected to train fully if at all the following day.

Interviewer: So, Joe, you've been appointed, just a week after you said you couldn't return due to your health Joe: You're a cunt. I can hardly wait.

If there are offers in for Duff and Taylor I'll be amazed if we win, talk about disjointed, fuck me sideways.

He's not that good but the 6th best team in the Premiership want to sign him. Right. He would have been good in this division, and for £6m it's a massive what the fuck. No replacements are going to be signed. What the fuck is Ashley's plan. Our team for this fucking Saturday is fucking desperate. I'm really fucked off. And my fucking name is now Mike fucking Ashley. He better fuck off, quicksharp, jesus wept if he turns up on Saturday he'll get chinned. Probably by Taylor. Fuck me this bastard club, stick Skirge in charge and get it over with it.

Well that's it then, there are no players left at this club that I have any time for. Brilliant.

And signing Stephen Hunt does what exactly?

What was it before Ashley?

Finally, the username curse strikes

Happy brithday

Fact is they're a young side and Rodgers like his sides to pass it. Our fitness doesn't look great (yep, you Kevin) and I worry they'll wear us down.

Well let's say teams outside of the top flight and poorer Premiership teams (or Divison 1 in the old money you're referring to)

I feared for you the moment you appointed Malky MacKay. Nothing against MacKay himself, but promotions from within are usually epic fails. Hutchings at Wigan Roeder at Newcastle (after the caretaker spell) Adams at Portsmouth Sbragia at Sunderland And probably others that I can't think of right now. Whereas on the flipside I can only really think of Jol at Spurs where it has worked, and that was because he was there about 2 months as assistant under Santini. Unless you count Vialli at Chelsea, but he didn't exactly break new ground for Chelsea.

Agree with the point of your post, but fortunately we can loan outside of the window (short term deals only) and although that won't be enough, die hard optimists will cling to it. Also, I think the transer deadline will be moved to September 1st, as August 31st is a bank holiday. I hope it is, would be weird playing on the last day of the Summer window, and frankly stupid.
