Interpolic

I think they did fine considering it was their first year in it and the quality of their group. League was always going to be more important for them this year.

It does appear so.

Wiki reckons 11 in Championship season, 9 last season and 1 this. He's never scored more than 9 Premier League goals in a season for us, next best 7, next best 6.

Also it was another one of the old board's daft decisions to get rid of him after 2 games of the season FFS, awful timing.

The only positive thing i can think of regarding Dalglish is that he bought Given.... Thats it. Signed Solano, Speed & Dabizas; guided us to a 2nd place finish in his first half season; got us to an FA Cup final; 3-2 win versus Barcelona. Agree most signings and performances were very poor, though I wonder what we might have achieved with Tomasson playing off Shearer.

Creeps.

Aye well I wish he would just shut the fuck up about it, I think the message he's sending out does more harm than good.

Haha, I presumed you were joking Nixon.

Or maybe he has the realistic view that if a high offer comes in for any of our players the board are likely to take it? God forbid we do sell anyone other than Smith, i'd hope it would be earlier rather than later in the window. Well clearly, but the other clubs have no reason to heed his warning, therefore I'd rather he didn't repeatedly advertise the availability of our best players.

Would be an appalling decision given the players available.

Oh great, he's reiterating his "you're more than welcome to take our best players but get in there quickly" thing.

When's the poor Tunisian bloke's funeral anyway?

If we end up not getting him will the thread title be changed from"Ravel Morrison - worth a punt?" to "Ravel Morrison - what a cunt" ?

People laughed at the concept last time but I do hope we're still looking at other deals and not focussing all of our efforts on this. If it's a quick deal that might end up a bargain then fair enough I'm happy for us to go for it, but we have far bigger concerns at the minute surely.

Total arseholes.

Completely agree, I've recently wondered why trying but failing to beat a man invokes groans in the crowd, yet long ball after aimless long ball goes largely uncommented on. It's the same end result, i.e. trying something but giving the ball away. We need to mix it up and do a bit of both of course.

What's with Ravel's spelling of 'their' as 'theRe' - he does it twice.

Fucking hell man, Cabaye. No idea.

That footage, bloody hell.

He doesn't seem to lack confidence like, most 18 year olds at Man Utd would be happy to go with the flow and see where it takes them.

Righteo.

That GIF's lush like. ( http://www.redcafe.net/10641424-post66.html )

You know these 1,000 page mega threads that are getting re-started as new threads, might it be an idea to have a link to the old one in the OP of the new one?

Go for free at the end of the season apparently Doesn't really answer the underlying question mind. ? Why aren't they pulling out all the stops to keep him?
