A kid from the U16s would have looked good against us in that match

Weird thing was he never got a sniff under his dad, was only when Gullit came in that he got a game. Anything not to play Shearer

Just usual Ashley defending stuff as to why he shouldn't spend and noocarstle should be happy just to be in the league

So usual Thursday then...no-one actually knows anything at all barring a tenuous and ambiguous tweet from someone who might have talked to to someone. Why's nobody tried phone hacking Charnley/Ashley/Stavely/Masters? The Sun managed it for years without being detected so it can't be that difficult

Absolutely - he's got the opportunity to grow a little more before making the big career-defining move. Moves in the summer and he spends next 3 years on the bench of City/Liverpool/Man Utd, is forgotten then ends up at West Ham or Everton

If he had any sense he'd hang around Dortmund for a few more years before trying to get a big move

Probably all true, but Paul Dalglish was garbage, and only got to us, Liverpool, and Celtic cos of his dad. His career after shows it. Kind of like Alex Bruce

Nah, we were slightly better than Everton then

Wouldn't say he's done well. Had the right attitude, but he won't be remembered when he's gone

When was the last time we signed a player from 'the big six' that genuinely did well for us or actually looked like they wanted to be here? Danny Simpson? No world beater, but was reliable and didn't act like we were beneath him. Most have seemed to act like the last pay check, or 'oh well no one else wants me so I'll go there'...2am club munter style

Yea he got his only assist at the end of the last match, read somewhere that it fucked up blokes bet that he wouldnt get a goal or assist :lol: To be fair that was a crap bet to make. Even the worst players generally fluke an assist or goal through a season. Goalkeepers included

Certainly the worst/most painful/boring to watch

Think the Sky Website did an article of the top 50 never to win a league a few weeks back

Could be a bit more specific like. Internet says it’s on. No idea how to add a screenshot here, but the account is Maintain St James Park Reading their tweets makes it clear that it's balls though

Most people probably have since he's a midfielder

Think it's how his attitude appears. He looks and acts like the kind of player who thinks they can just turn up to the match and people should love him for it. Might work sometimes but gets shown up pretty quick. Could never imagine him in Bruceyball, running back to get the ball and then busting a lung to get down the other end to create something like ASM and Almiron try to

Twitter (I know) saying that it's been failed

His reputation as a good player is purely down to the fact that he plays for Man Utd. Would put Almiron and ASM in our team before him. Someone said Nicky Butt MK II. Think that's unfair on Butt, he had some shockers for us but wasnt terrible for his entire time here....although I could just be remembering an hour or so of the Villarreal friendly. Either way Lingaard seems to have an ego that way outstrips his ability and contribution. Probably more like Owen if he came here...always focussed on England

thing is most potential takeover are simple enough, ie are you disqualified as a director committed a crime etc etc and don't involve piracy issues and geopolitical bullshit Abramovich is Putin’s mate. The fella that orders assassinations of dissidents on UK soil using nerve and radioactive agents to induce a gruesome death. He’s totally under the influence of Putin. As if he gets tested and passes every year. Fellas even had his U.K. visa revoked cos he’s so dodgy. 100% right. A guy I know through my company is a British Lawyer retained by very prominent Russians and it's common knowledge that Putin put RA where he is and he could call in Chelsea at any point if he wanted to. It's essentially held on behalf of the Russian Government administered by RA. So essentially the same as Al Rummyan and MBS

Not sure how Southampton get a C+ and we get a B when they finished 2 places and 8 points ahead of us. They lost one game 9-0 and still had a goal difference 11 better than ours as well. Standard snowflake society opinion. If you enter a fat kid into the 100metres and he doesn't come last he gets more praise than the rest of the runners. Even if one was struck by lightning (Norwich), one tripped up (Bournemouth), one had a heart attack(Watford), and the other was so stupid they turned around and ran the other way (villa)

From a canon? In front of a canon. Homerpalooza style

Tell is the lotto numbers pal. It's a FACT that every number has an equal chance of coming out. Don't let the stats blind you to that some come out more than others. Christ...do you want six numbers every week. Be happy with getting a number every now and again Sounds a bit like Brucey-ball Hi. Another one of my fan club. Send me a PM and we can talk stats in depth. I have a lot of opinions about the 2005-2006 Toon season. Stats galore. Fan club . Stats either mean something or they don't. Make your mind up. Stats about this season say it was garbage, watching the football says it was garbage, a few lucky results...as a fact, disguise how dire it's been

;D but it's a fact he got results
