No, it just shows that I've strong beliefs that every human should be free, and that I'm not morally bankrupt like some people. What about the kids who work in sweatshops to produce the shoddy clothing sold in Mike Ashley's shops and online businesses. Do they prick your consciences too? Are all your clothes fair-trade? Do you only buy chocolate that is fair trade? And coffee, tea and sugar? And cereals? Cos I bet you that you don't. I've bought some beer before because it was fair-trade. Yeah but you're not preaching to us about how these Omani blokes are the devil incarnate.

Always used to buy him for mid-table Prem teams on Football Manager. Wasn't bad, if I remember rightly. Heh, as soon as I saw Shak's post was about to say the exact same thing, just replace "wasn't bad" with "was fucking class".

He actually knows how to use his pace, playing on the shoulder of the last man and all that. He knows how to get in behind. That makes him more useful (not better) than Martins at the moment.

bet you wish you hadn't asked

I think this. If he thought he had even an outside chance of getting the job back he'd have been shitehawking in the media for weeks.

We don't own the free hold to the land, the ground is owned by the club and the land is on leasehold like many other properties. We are no where near being on the brink of administrration and nothing like Darlington at all. Scaremongering nonsense tbh.

This. The upstairs people are trying to sign global superstars... Hughes is signing decent Premiership players who will be surplus to requirements when they eventually get all those galactico type signings in. They will never crack the top 4 whilst Mark Hughes is there, I promise it.

If that was Hoddle's assessment of Cole, its a good job Martins isn't English and had been around when Hoddle was manager ; he wouldn't have merited CONSIDERATION for the England squad, let alone be left out.. Also, Hoddle had the luxury of selecting one Alan Shearer as his main striker - are you now going to try to compare Martins to Shearer as well...! I wasn't the one drawing comparisons, I was just correcting an incorrect interpretation. That said, one could argue that Martins was comparing himself to Shearer when he consciously chose the #9 jersey Martins said many times in that first season that he did not want to be compared to Shearer because they are totally different players.

This. Should give it at least one more season in Wales.

Ah, right. I saw his picture on my (muted) SSN before and then got a text about it.

Apparently Tony Adams has been approached for the Celtic job :lol:

Aye, Cole's is outstanding.

I think James is taking this a bit too seriously. Just shows he lacks emotional maturity.

Jonathan Greening? (could be wrong there) Leroy Lita is available on a free. Two year deal, we're laughing. Greening didn't play in the final and didn't drop down to the championship for another 7 years after that 7 years!?!?! My bad.

Yeah, but that was usually "wide of the mark".

For free he's surely worth it.

Not to mention how every article in the next few months re: transfer speculation will end with "when the transfer window slams shut on..." But war chest is a fucking annoying term, yes.

I love it how every window the Man City supremos give Hughes £40m and tell him to go and play in the sand with all the other simpletons, whilst they go off trying to land Robinho, Kaka, Messi and Villa.

They were all in a flurry though, that one at Sheffield United at the end of the season was his first in something like 11 games. it was his first in 4 games, and 8 in the premiership Yeah it must have been the premiership that I remember that stat from then and not all comps.

If you were calling him s*** after his first season then you need your head read Am I the only person who can remember long periods, usually as much as five or six matches at a time, where you'd forget he was on the pitch before he'd decide to put a shift in and then revert back to being anonymous? how many strikers have managed 17 goals in their first season in english football? pretty good return if you ask me, even if general play was erratic How many of them came against Slovakian pub sides in the UEFA Cup? Levadia Tallin (h) - 2 Zulte Waragem (h) - 1 Zulte Waragem (a) - 1 So 13 goals.

The Villa away lot were probably the best away fans I've seen barring our own, when I went to see them at Fulham.
