  1. My mom, what's a mom? Anyway, people obviously do care what he has as an avatar. Thankfully, I don't care about the people who are unfortunate enough to care about what I have as an avatar.
  2. It's a joke that absolutely no-one besides you is taking seriously GM, and to be fair, probably not entirely untrue either.
  3. But now I have came on here thinking it's been confirmed this guy is a t*** and we are in talks to sign Barnetta when in fact it's only speculation at this stage. I think it's fairly clear that he's a t*** at this point. What the f*** is that s**** written under your avatar? Total disgrace. Have a word with yourself, man. I had a word. Myself says it's okay.

  5. Because I don't want people who don't get the joke to immediately see the thread title and go suicidal like I did.

    Summer from Hell

    Thread from Hell
  7. Fake shirts aren't prevalent in Korea and Japan at all. Our glory hunters aren't skint. First three are ManU/Liverpool/Arsenal. Man U is obvious. Liverpool for people who like to claim they know more about football because of the history. Arsenal for people who like to claim they care about the stylish football. Newcastle for masochistic idiots.
  8. Ugh. Retards. Suck all the joy out of everything
  9. Cunt. .... Just kidding. RIP, dying young is terrible for anybody.
  10. Maybe. He's our captain now since Park Jisung retired and the second-biggest name in Korean football. If any player could generate those mythical "Asian shirt sales," it would probably be him. NUFC are already the fourth-most supported Premiership club in this country though
  11. If you were a multi-million pound footballer, would you want to be lugging around a rifle in some god-forsaken corner of the Korean wilderness for two years at age 35, being commanded by kids literally half your age?
  12. Yeah. [desperate] Anyway, given that we're desperate for a striker and he's desperate for a club and wouldn't be too expensive... Surely somebody somewhere has to be thinking about this? [/desperate]
  13. He'd probably be crucified in public opinion over here and barred from playing from the national team. Don't think he'd want to be unable to ever return home and become hated by his people.

    Our local press

    They're basically doomed if they keep doing what they do, don't think it's an unreasonable idea for them try to adopt a niche by going rogue against the club turning their sports section into a representative for the "voice of the fans." In some ways it could be seen as a merging of local press and fanzines, two forms of media that are both on borrowed time. There's really no reason for "local" press to exist anymore in the twenty-first century aside from sentimental purposes.
  15. Whats the deal with his military service?
  16. Park Chu-Young still hasn't found a new club and is desperate for a move. Hasn't linked up with the Monaco squad and is training personally back in Korea at our national team club house. Seems like a no-brainer at this point. The military service thing is a pain in the ass but don't know why nobody seems to be willing to just hand him a three-year contract.
  17. I even got to update a thread title. I feel so special
  18. Would like to sign him. First time we'll actually sign a player for whom I started the transfer rumor thread
  19. Lee Young-Pyo is available. Free.
  20. City ruins the careers of so many players. 1. Get there 2. Get your ridiculous long-term contract. 3. Fall out of favor 4. Sit on the bench, deteriorate 5. Fail to move anywhere because others can't match your wages 6. Career suicide. How good would Johnson be if he'd been playing regular football? Couple more years of this and he'll be liable to go the SWP route.

    Alan Pardew

    He could start by not saying stuff instead of making promises he can't keep. Theres a reason you never get a real answer from Hughton. Yes, lack of communication is always well appreciated by our fans. Hughton did it perfectly. No need to talk about stuff he didn't know/wasn't told and didn't give the press a stick to hit us with. I'm close to putting Pardew up there with Kinnear in terms of talking absolute nonsense. He's probably above Kinnear tbh. JK at least seemed to had some balls when it came to bringing in his own transfer targets (as s*** as they have been). Are you serious? The winter of '09 was just about the most bullshit-rich transfer window I've ever experienced in my life. Who needs tabloids when your lunatic manager is dropping multiple cryptic and insubstantial links every press conference.
  22. The whole "pick a side" thing doesn't sit well with me. Lots of people can be positive about some things and negative about others depending on the circumstances. I'm actually not including myself when I say that anymore given my recent descent into 100% certified negative depression.
  23. Aye, because we've never, ever signed a player with quality under Ashley. This transfer window has been a huge disappointment to say the least but some of the hyperbole following the Barton fallout has been absolutely laughable. It is hyperbole of course, but I think we do have to consider the possibility that the recent turmoil may have made us less attractive to a lot of players. All speculation of course but it might even be what broke down the Erdinc deal.
  24. I resolved to stay away from Football for a while last night because I felt myself being swept up by a whole boatload of irrational negativity. After sleeping on it, I've decided I don't give a shit. I am now back on a full-on manic depressive doom-monger mode the likes of which I haven't been in since Hughton was sacked. It's so much easier than trying to keep an ember of hope and optimism alive Eight months later, basically right back where I started
