Oh that was Super, Man.

Not quite hid old self they say. Bump. Is this a stich up? Stich? Wasn't he a German tennis player in the 1990s?

"PLAYING WITH THE BOYS..." And you're quite sure it's Spurs and not Middlesboro? Just checked those links. Homoerotica.

...like complaining about other fans complaining, for example.

Oh. Shit. I hadn't meant to quote you. Bollocks.

Classic, Parky.

Xabi Alonso. Niko Kranjcar. Oh please! Please!!!

Someone like Xabi Alonso would be about right.

I expect us to finish above Spurs, the mackems and the smoggies. I expect Villa to be pushing Liverpool for 4th this year.

I've been wondering - surely there has to be a limit to the number of star summer signings that can be accommodated by any team before it becomes a problem in terms of creating a good team ethic and spirit - regardless of purchasing power of the owner/chairman - otherwise surely you end up with an increased risk of having too many overpaid star players who are either backbiting, frustrated about lack of playing opportunities or perhaps even being lazy and workshy...

great, but im starting to think that the board think that they can get to the top third of the league by this strategy alone. this will sound impatient and illogical, and it is, but if we dont sign someone for over 10million this summer i will be concerned, not because buying players worth that much guarentees that they are good, but if we go 2 seasons without spending any serious money it wont say much for our ambition. i think we are being run much better than we were under shepheard, and that we are going in the right direction, but if we are not going to spend then we wont succeed. maybe its part of some grand scheme to get the club turning a decent profit before spending big, but the forum is going to get even worse (if possible) and quickly if we dont spend. in order to keep up with citeh, and spurs we would need to spend money that would only be pheaseable with CL football. and liverpool spurs and citeh will also have to spend that amount. only one of those teams will get it though, and it may not be the same team each season, so as long as we continue to improve i dont care if citeh and spurs get further ahead of us, for the time being, because if all 3 are intent on chasing CL football, it will probably end very badly for at least 2 of them. we still need to be spending money regardless of whether we compete with spurs and citeh however, we have apparently tried and failed so far, but we need to succeed. thats not to say spurs or citeh´s spending guarentees them success however, but it gives them a better chance. im not going to be happy until smith, viduka, barton and duff are off the wage bill though. dont know if any of the above is coherent and/or makes sense. It doesn't make any sense. You complete lost me when you said you wanted us to sign someone for over ten million but then admitted it doesn't guarentee a player will be good. If we signed Guthrie for over £10 million will you be happy or up in arms? its obvious he meant he a good player or proven/experienced player whose ability is worth 10m. will ask for MA's head if he splashed 3m on Guthrie let alone 10m. his current ability is no more than 2m. Like you've ever seen him play ffs. a handful. but does not take a brilliant scout to know Guthrie's worth. may turn out to be a 10m player but currently, god.....even Bolton rejected the option to sign him. even if he has a brilliant first season, still only one season and max worth 5m. Can someone please change this poster's username to Sklattihs

bring back fat fred!!! all are forgiven.....we need a money splashing chairman to be competitive. Nah, you just need a check-up from the neck-up.

Kevin? KEVIN?!!! You gotta be shitting me? He's French and they call him Kevin?

He's at the Under 19 European Championship. IFZ. c***. What does that mean Wullie? (The IFZ bit, I mean...I know about the other word ) 'I'm Fabio Zamblera' Or Italy's Fabio Zamblera Oh...wait...I think...yes, I can see what Wullie's done there......oh but that is just brilliant...comedic genius...I think the whole IFZ reference is (unless I am very much mistaken) an exquisitely crafted piece of satire, that with a tongue-in-cheek, sideways glance sort of cheeky insouciance simultaneously refers to the use of and satirizes those responsible for the creation of that whole "EMO = England's Michael Owen" joke. Oh, but that is just brilliant, Wullie. mackems.gif.

He's at the Under 19 European Championship. IFZ. Cunt. What does that mean Wullie? (The IFZ bit, I mean...I know about the other word )

We're gonna win da fucking league man! Or alternatively, as I actually voted, I expect us to be comfortably in the top half...though perhaps not as comfortably as once we used to take for granted under SBR. I also think we're well overdue a decent cup run. I expect us to go crashing out at the semi-finals stage, naturally.

Only £4m for him? He's worth twice that.

Wish we could've signed Riise. Him in the same squad as Smith. That'd be just champion

Walter?

Aye, Skeletor...I should clarify that I meant to say I meant Smith would become a goal-scoring genius in the SPL. For Rangers.

I confidently predict this will be the season that sees Alan Smith finally realise his full potential as the prolific goal-scoring genius we all want him to be.

Kranjcar Cuellar Arteta Zigic Plasil Cazorla Boulahrouz Konchesky Oh...and Berbatov...should do nicely.

When do the school holidays start?
