  1. I thought bernard was being greedy, Saha was just on loan so the deal thing is probably quite accurate

     

    Seem to recall Bernard wanted 25k pr week to reflect his position in the team (which would still be one of the lowest wages in the first team) and Shepherd not budging on the 20k offer he made him.

     

    After he left and went to Rangers(?), Le Guen though he would be better if he was slimmer. and put him on a diet. To bad that he was pure muscle, and thus lost his explosiveness.

     

    The 2002-2005 Bernard was great even though he had a few brainfarts now and again. Still only 32.

  2. Just seen the pen incident again on football first. What the hell was he doing with his arms spread out like that?

     

    Really fucking annoying if you ask me. 1-2 steps forwards (which there is good time to do)., and the whole situation is solved. Poor, poor defending. Handball or not.

  3. Very promising performance. Still prefer to see him on the wing mind.

     

    Yep, stick him out there and let him roam.

     

    Im not sure what I prefer, but a good argument for this after todays game is that if he gets in similar positions to what he did today, the ball would be on his left foot.

     

    Edit: assuming you mean the right wing that is.

  4.  

    Taking back (if he has) what you've put in, is not "taking out"

     

    Check out the previous regime for a real example of taking out. (£52 Millions worth of taking out)

     

    Of course it's taking out, I take money out of my bank account on a daily basis.  I put it in and I take it out.

     

    Suppose you loaned some of your money to a company. If the company paid some of it back (with no interest) do you consider that you have taken money out of that company? I can't see that you have since all you have done is get a repayment of what you loaned in the first place.

     

    On the other hand if you charged 6% interest on the loan then you have taken money out because you did not put the interest into the company in the first place. The company has had to somehow earn the interest in order to be able to pay it to you.

     

    If I loaned a company money and they re-paid it of course I'd consider that I'd taken money out of that company.  I understand that Ashley has saved us money by not charging interest, he's still taken at least £6 million out, even if it is the money that he put in.

     

    people have lost the fucking plot here like

     

     

    Just to clarify: He would be taking money back from the company.

     

    Mick: If you loaned money to a friend, and later ended up needing the money and asked to get the money back: Would you take money from your friend, or would you get your money back?

  5. Walked past the stadium today and that absolute eejit who's always black and white from head to toe was standing outside the club shop with a sign saying 'Sack The Board'. Had two side kicks with him- one being a horrendously fat kid. Cringe didn't do it justice.

     

    To be fair to him, at least he's doing something.

     

    Standing there with a sign saying 'Sack the board', though? :lol:

     

    The funny thing is that he is standing there with a board that is saying sack the board.

     

    That may be down to my bad humor though, but I´ll take anything I can get these days.  :lol:

  6. It´d be interesting to speak to the man, sucking up to him and lull him into a sense of great trust between us just so when I asked him about everything that´s gone on and future plans, I knew he´d give me a 100% honest answer.

     

    The thing is, anyone who genuinely cares for the club knows fuck all, which leads to a huge amount of assumptions. No one on here knows dip shit. That´s just the brutal truth. Im not saying this to defend or attack the man, just that it would be interesting to hear what he had to say.

  7. Only thing that works would be for people to not attend games.

     

    Im not attending matches, so I feel dumb for suggesting it, but I would gladly miss three-four matches if it meant they would change the name back.

     

    Screw the "players doesn´t deserve it" and similar arguements. They will understand why.

  8.  

    It really annoys them.  :lol:

    Me and thespence came across a mackem at my mates wedding back in 1999, we were both happy to chat football and even acknowledged they were doing well and phillips looked a player....

     

    His first line was "we'd have no one from your team"

     

    "you wouldnt have dyer, shearer or Solano?"

     

    "noone"

     

     

    Dyer < Rae

    Shearer < Quinn

    Solano < Summerbee

     

    No brainer tbh.

  9.  

     

    The difference hear tbf is there will be the French posters and other English posters who have watched him for years and love him. Thats fine. I used to be like that with Beardsley and loved watching him play whoever it was for and would no doubt support him as you are doing.

     

    There will be other fans, like me, who know little of him before he arrived and are hoping / waiting to be converts like yourself.

     

    Whats tedious though is the "he will be this" or "This is not the right game" or "he was excellent" when he was average. This cant be highlighted better by looking at the length of his thread compared to probably the rest of the squad put together.

     

    What did you think of Marveaux yesterday?

     

    You've also been quiet on the Jonas front recently as well. Although I expected you to pipe up about "how poor" he was yesterday.

     

    See this is what happens when you assume  ;)

     

    Jonas was crap yesterday however given that he ran his bollocks off earlier in the week I think he is allowed a duffer. I do still worry about his attacking which has almost ground to a halt. A few times yesterday he received the ball in good positions and the crowd were baying for him to scurry down the wing but he just waited and played the ball back or sideways. Hopefully Pardew can find a way to get both parts of his game working in tandem.

     

    :rolleyes:

  10. "Natural position" how else is he supposed to get off the ground like? f***ing kick himself up like a 90s break dancer?

     

    :lol: His hand, which was far from his body, stopped the ball, which was going towards an open goal/Krul. Stonewall penalty.

     

    + his arm/hand was not not rooted to the ground as well. Clearest penalty not given this season from the games I´ve seen. How anyone can try to justify why the penalty was not given is simply baffling :lol:
