No surprise that he has a section, just that nobody else has a section, or it they do its like a small area of a cabinet. Terry Mac has a whole huge fuckoff cabinet to himself.

Just trying to help, I'm sure there are others that got about 2 lines down then got claustrophobic. Can't read huge chunks of text like that. I'm sure what you have to say makes a lot of sense - space it out man!!

Has anyone been in the NUFC museum? Took the bairn on the tour the other week, Terry Mac has his own section in there. Bigger than anyone elses, including Keegan, Supermac, GAzze, Pedro et al.

I disagree johnny because at no point was Shepherd the majority shareholder. What we are talking about is not the shareprice or the fundamental profitability of the club but managerial decision making. You're in cloud cuckoo land if you think that the majority shareholder did not at least 'sign off' the decision. Well thats my experience of these things anyway. From an 'operational' perspective (day to day running), the decision making dynamic would have changed. However, thats never been a point of issue. The points of issue are managerial appointments and debt both of which are 'board level' decisions. We've been over this before. i don't agree that it's never been a point of issue, of course it has. i doubt the halls would've been too interested in denying robson prozone, making comments publicly undermining him or selling speed behind his back, day-to-day decisions. no one has said the other board members wouldn't have input in the managerial appointments or debt issues (tho how much the pickled douglas hall did is uncertain considering he visited SJP something like once in 5 years, hardly suggests he had a key role in grinding down the debt figures or fine combing through the details of prospective new managers) you also have the shift from the hall era of appointing professionals to the board and other executive roles like corbridge or fletcher (or shepherd even!), while under shepherd those figures were surgically removed one by one as shepherd's influence grew and grew, and the closest you got to an advisor was, errr, kenny shepherd? the ownership too under hall was different to that under shepherd, one example amongst many would be, under SJH, Hall was majority shareholder, under Shepherd he was not, you also had the plc to answer too whereas hall didn't have as much of that, so it's fair to say that you can divide into the SJH era and the Shepherd era into separate eras. likewise if ashley was to sack chris mort, and replace him with another chairman, you could divide those chairmanships too, even tho that is only one change with the rest of trhe club remaining identical, whereas the differences between the hall and shepherd era are much more vast and fundamental. Too.....many....words......not.....enough......spaces Urgggghh The longest sentence of 2007?

No. Number 2 is no longer available.

My Dad went to that school, and was in the same team as Francis and got to the Plymouth Schools Cup Final with him. My Dad was inside left, and Francis was centre forward. Also, my Grandmother lived about 100 metres from this school, and when I was younger, I'd spend many Saturdays in Pennycross playground, or the nearest park, or the adjoining cul-de-sac playing football with the local kids - there is a fair chance that I could have played with him at some point. This does mean though that Tozer lived in a part of Plymouth where he wouldn't have had much access to football on flat grass until he moved on to Plymstock aged 12, so he would have learnt his early skills in a very compact concrete environment with kids that could be described as slightly rough. This could hopefully mean that Tozer is a mentally strong and technical player. Good bit of deduction there James.

Don't you mean: "Cheeky bid for Healy to cover for Martins in January?" Don't you mean 'Cheeky bid to cover Martins in Jam'?

Happy days? Tuesday, Wednesday.

Go on then...

You have just lost my vote for most pessimistic poster, numbnuts!

I think everyone should finish posts like that. It's the British way. Yours sincerely, danswan

Would you give a shit if we were winning? Well, he hasn't scored goals, and we havent been winning as well as we'd like. We have a really tough 2nd half of the season, and will need both strikers (and contributions from MF) if we are to pick up enough wins to finish in the top 8. That wasn't the question - just taking him to task regarding this goals thing, it's a load of bollocks. If a team is winning, it doesn't matter that one of your strikers isn't scoring. He is obviously contributing elsewhere, and others are obviously making up for his shortfall as the team is winning. Of course I appreciate that we aren't winning, or at least not consistently and as such Smith's lack of scoring becomes more of a problem. I'm certain he will score a few this season - bear in mind he has played what, 3 games up front this season? Give him a run of 10 starts on the trot up front, I would expect 1-3 goals from him, but I would also expect to see us winning and keeping the ball in opposition territory a lot more, leading to more goals from others.

Would you give a shit if we were winning?

Sheer class. You have just secured my vote in whatever section you may be nominated in that awards thing.Hahahaha!

I love how you go out of your way to make negative opinions of everything regarding our club. I very much doubt any of these are your opinions, in fact i know they are not because i seem to remember you giving some very good (accurate) comments about the club 3 years ago when i joined this forum. If these are your opinions then fine but seriously i'd like to see the other opinions return because they were much better and a far more enjoyable read. The Souness era has transformed him into a twisted, evil shadow of his former self. And who can blame him?

Spooky

Fuck. 7 then. 7 for me.

I think we should stop fucking around with these old systems and bite the bullet and create one of our own. Here's one I created, I call it the 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1. It looks like this: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 A strong spine.

Yes. Sliding tackles are just like lying down at speed.

Has anyone said 6 yet? Baggsy 6

Maybe he's been watching Pelé videos?

No, but how many decent, experienced players does he actually have to choose from?

Where's that bloke that makes racist comments about Jews?

Bag o' shite
