Well, Dave. It is a response to Mick complaining about us buying Owen, I didn't see him predicting what he said was "predictable". Dare I say that its jus a swipe at the board ? Unless Mick says otherwise, and admits it was simply a case of buying a quality player, which the vast majority of people were happy with, in which case I would retract my response. Do you not think my request to name these "trophy" players - assuming they think Owen is one and is not the only one - is relevant to the thread ? I've stated my case. I think the club simply cannot be castigated in any shape or form for buying top class quality players. Who has a problem with this statement ? The problem is that you've stated your case over and over and over and over and over and over again, and frankly, the entire forum is sick of reading the same shit argument in practically every other thread. The bickering is so fucking tedious that it defies belief, so either keep it in one fucking place or just take it somewhere else altogether.

Can people kindly fuck off with the WUM comments? This whole "getting people to bite at ZANY against-the-grain comments" thing is getting so fucking tiresome now that it defies belief.

So harsh.

I don't agree Dave. What do you think this is? A "football" related forum? So naive

Good post.

Could he play on Sundays though? Mate, he's Jesus. He'd create an all new day for football in between saturday and sunday. Jesus so wise

That's an idea, why don't we sign Jesus?

Marco Van Basten Pele Diego Maradona We'll be able to score and keep it up even when we're stoned.

He's struggling to find a team that gels as it is. If he had another two or three players to choose from his head would explode in a massive thermo-nuclear reaction.

I think we should sack him just for a laugh. Have no manager, let the players pick the team. They could literally fight for their place as half time entertainment. All the coaching staff go too apart from Terry Mac, who just watches the fighting from the sidelines whilst stroking his tash and muttering random bouts of gibberish, whilst Mike Ashley watches from the stand shouting pseudo-football-fan hooligan-esque abuse at the loser. It will be great fun.

I'm glad you clarified that 4 out of 10 is 40%. It increased the dramatic impact of the statistic by at least 110% for me.

Well, I guess the general idea is to increase protection on the full-backs. And it might actually make sense, you know, if we were playing Barcelona every week and not the likes of Sunderland and Derby.

He is. Barton is on the right.

Yeah, I doubt that. There is more chance of seeing Riquelme playing for Huddersfield next season than Barcelona.

No. He doesn't train, he helicopter.

Shame, I was aiming for you. Major scalp and all that. Now I know to keep my aim in the hundreds next time

#89?

I got there first Dave, I got there first. #261

It's times like this where a random-deletion lottery would come in handy; just to spark a bit of life into the thread, you know? Clearing up a bit of bandwidth at the same time? I'm gonna randomly pick User ID# 468.

And whilst we're on the subject of striking over money and financial issues, who wants to buy us a new server?

I know, Dave, I know, tell me about it. All those fucking letters. Delayed. Just like that... Who'd have thought it?

I dunno. Prison Break is delayed though. And 24 is postponed. And Heroes is rubbish. I think it's safe to say that the quality of this thread has just risen dramatically. Who wants to talk about the strike?

Would you sacrifice European football though? Depending on the wider picture, if we guarenteed to play some good teams/get far in the Waffa then yes providing they stayed up to be beat next season, if not no I'd prefer for us not to get beat by them. Eh? He means he'll only answer the question if you use your hypothetical crystal ball to predict the future.
