it's awesome how people still think they can predict what the daft fat cunt might do next, even after all this time and agony only thing guaranteed is he'll probably make a minimum of one decision that's insane to anyone that knows football

i do, i like it a lot they obviously haven't got a fucking clue and aren't interested in learning about football - maybe someone shouting it in their faces will make them notice?

someone recap please, what's been said i can't find the jose quotes

ha ha, loving the press getting excited about arsenal - good win fair enough but we all know barca will do them at home win the fucking tie before jumping up and down man

possibly won't be seeing him for a while then

fucking hell yeah, he's hitting some form and is 5 goals away from double figures in the league mike will think he's got another cash cow on his hands and get Pards to play him week in week out

if it wasn't for his injuries woodgate would have been the best CH on the planet tbh

what THE FUCK is this supposed to be?

agree with this

class, heads so up my arse never even realised this was happening good shit, on the brink of survival - in fact we're almost at the point where we can start looking to rack up as many points as possible rather than look over our shoulder almost

if, IF he wants us to progress - if he's happy to rake in the money from our two best players and try to limp through another season then we all know what'll happen back to square one, what does the fat cunt want?

financially a net profit should not be seen as a crime, personnel-wise a net loss in terms of players and/or talent is absolutely unforgiveable especially when we came back up from the championship with a bit of a deficit to start with the summer window was decent, they threw all they away with the january one for me

this, and how much of the Carroll money is spent, will indeed provide the key to our future i've said it elsewhere but it's pretty frustrating that we seem to enter every fucking window under ashley in a make or break situation

It's not all bad though, at least we now know what the situation is. I honestly wouldn't want Ashley to sell up to a random new owner at the moment... I'd rather he stuck to the current plan for a few years and see how far it can take us. If he could avoid any more catastrophic mistakes, hold onto our better players and invest some of the Carroll money it would be good too. well, this is the real issue that Stu raises isn't it, what the fuck is the real plan? we can assume it's a version of the arsenal/spurs models and if the intention of that model is to progress the club on the field then i'm sure everyone would get on board, i would the issue is whether ashley is remotely interested in progress on the pitch or just on the financial side of things - personally i've seen no evidence that he wouldn't be less than happy if we just stagnate for 5 years scraping past relegation until he's ready to go signs point towards this tbh

who could we have got for 10m like? For a start, we could have banked the £10m and held onto Faye. Ben Haim went to Man City, Davies to Aston Villa, Ferdinand to Sunderland - all for less than £10m and all were adequate PL defenders at the time. It proves there were some available. Davies was my first thought aye, we dodged a bullet tbh (same with Ferd). Ben Haim is a good shout but he went to ratshit ever since that move so who knows. See what you're saying though, not sure any of them would have been a massive upgrade on Colo during the relegation season. Frankly we were just going down that year, Mike Ashley ensured that tbh.

who could we have got for 10m like?

i open to correction but iirc colo seemed to suffer mostly when being bossed physically and perhaps wanting to much time to do things, i.e. not grasping the pace side of matters in his first season to be fair to his critics back then that stank of marcelino, boumsong et al while of course not being identical it's credit to colo that he's turned it right around tbh, getting fucking battered by cloggers must have been hard to take for a footballing CH from another continent from the off

If he appointed a chairman who actually knew about football and how to run a football club, and met the fans halfway in terms of spending a bit more money on the team, things wouldn't be as bad as claimed. What he's doing is not actually the wrong way to run a football club, the way he's going about it (lies, lack of communication and trust, unwillingness to loosen the purse strings just a tad) is the major problem. is anyone arguing with this point of view on things lads? all seems pretty obvious to me

What are you confused about? i'm not confused

if they win the league or CL when he's a regular in their team it's a success - that's how success is judged these days, not what the individual does imo

do napoli actually stand a chance of winning this?

what's with the oldtype-esque gloom Dave
