Exactly. So, logically... If... she... weighs... the same as a duck,... she's made of wood. And therefore? A witch! Then I dub you 'Sir Bedevere, Knight of the Round Table'. Attempting to be patronizing fails so badly when you're not smart enough to do it. Smart enough for you Yes, your poor attempt at a Monty Python reference was the epitome of pithy cultural commentary. Now fuck off unless you want to have an actual discussion. Thanks.

Huh? Compared to Souness he looks like a f***ing mastermind. Well, I'll give you Smith and Rozehnal. And Barton, I guess (though I still think he can come through). Viduka, Cacapa, and Geremi were free. Wouldn't call Enrique an epic failure. Beye and Faye were damn good. 13.5 million on utter, unmitigated failures. 6 million more on a fullback that struggled to get into the team at the time. That's epic enough for me. 21 years old and an epic failure. BS. I'm not saying that Enrique is an epic failure I'm saying Allardyce's transfer policy was.

Mort said something to the effect of "we weren't happy about how shit went down in the summer so we brought in some new people." Again, can't be bothered to find it.

they thought they got one in zokora. One that isn't shit would be preferable

Where is all this money coming from for Spurs? Add up their summer and winter signings and this is Chelsea money. Crazy.

Was it? is that fact or just your opinion? Logical reasoning that pretty much anyone can reach. There's also quotes out that support it out there somewhere, which I can't be bothered to dig up.

There should not be any revisionist history shit about Allardyce's reign. It was bad, really bad. And his idiotic comments to the press since then have only made my estimation of him drop further. Let's also not forget that the whole reason Ashley started off with his "system" in the first place was because Allardyce's summer signings were such epic failures.

Ah shut up you lot. I refuse to be pessimistic in the buildup to a matchday. If we lose, we can all kneejerk after the match. We're gonna spank them so hard Big Sam will have to use his cry-o-pod!

What's to say they can't just get Kaka and top him off with 4 quality defenders. They've got infinite money. The rules have changed people. Get used to it.

Kaka is not going to flop. That's not even possible. So umm.... Howay Lee Cattermole.

They spent crazy money in Summer 2007 buying all sorts of players for a CL push. They failed and now they're in big trouble.

As far as I'm concerned it's still about as likely to be complete baloney as it is to be true.

Hmmm.... Is he Santiago Munez, or is he Ali Dia?

Seem pretty pissed with Kinnear, to say the least Well, add that to his list of fuck ups then.

cripes, did they really, honestly need to issue an official club statement over that?

"If we say 5 mil and they want 12 mil there's going to be a problem then" Well, at least Joe knows exactly what's going to happen

Was a bit disappointed when Man City opened up the window signing bridge and going after the likes of bellamy/parker This is more like it It may end up killing football, but fuck it, it's great entertainment right now.

Of course, we do have to consider the most realistic scenario: Kinnear is making shit up again.

I dont know! Martins, Owen, Coloccini, Duff, Viduka, Butt and Beye on paper at least, make us look like a big club. Apart from Arteta and Yak i dont think they have anyone of that profile I was thinking more about the league table. Someone needs to go all NE5 on you Dave! From the perspective of someone who hasn't been following the prem all that closely, I think it's possible to think that we're a bigger club that Everton that's just having a bad run.

Good news I suppose. One last stab at winning back our trust. It's also encouraging that he's chosen to speak after the window. I think it's an indication that he believes his actions during the window will speak for him and that the fans will be more receptive to what he has to say. Of course, on the flipside, we could have an absolutely horrible window and Ashley could just come out with something that makes him seem even more clueless. Wait and see, I suppose.

Still feels like some sort of elaborate hoax for some reason.

Well thats us out, and id be suprised if anyone paid that much, Essien didnt go for much more. £24.4 million for essien. I've convinced myself that this is just a smokescreen for a more realistic signing, and that the club doesn't honestly believe they can get this player for 5 mil, or for any amount of money for that matter. Wishful thinking is a critical skill for any NUFC fans' survival.

Wonder if they ever existed, rather.
