  1. why i'll always (now) despise mcclaren is that when it was very clear he had no answers to the situation he hung on and on and on, <b>had he had the integrity to walk earlier</b> then it would have forced the hand of a f***ing incompetent like charnley and we might have got rafa earlier as it was he sat week in week out with his stupid f***ing grinning face telling us things were magnificent everything comes down to ashley and charnley but he's got a lot to answer for That expression always makes me smile. As if anyone, in any walk of life, would quit a job (well paid or not) because they weren't making a good job of it. I am yet to see anyone with "integrity" in any walk of life it seems. That being said, McClaren is, and always will be, a mediocre manager. He came in, attempted to stir things up (whether the signings were his or not - I suspect not in most cases), and failed miserably. I still put most of the blame for our current predicament down to Ashley, Charnley, Carr and co before McClaren however. Gullit walked and didn't seek any sort of pay-off. Unlike that c*** Dalglish who got the and then took us to court for his pay-off having destroyed the team utterly and left the share price at well under half of what it was when he slunk into town. He should have been paying us, the c***. Dalglish took us to court? Never knew that. I think we coughed up before it got that far but 'lawyers had been instructed' and a hearing arranged. FS' rationale was as above - he figured that Dalglish owed us money for his gross imcompetence but a contract is a contract, and we settled. He did the same after his hilarious stint as Celtic boss.

  3. What makes you think anyone is stressing about it? For me it's a chance to pass on wisdom to those less well informed. He left 18 months ago. The message is not getting through.
  4. Beg to differ. I met him professionally more than once and found him to be hugely conceited, boorish, and an arrogant, self-satisfied twat. In my book, a small amount of arrogance (say, Roger Federer) is easily tolerable if, and only if, you can produce the goods...
  5. I most certainly don't dispute that, but the point I made (somewhat heavy-handedly) is that no-one likes lies spoken about them - especially when the lies spread like Cuntley's waistline.
  6. People who think we were genuinely wrong to get rid are very few and far between - it's the influence that certain figures wield in forming the opinions of others that hurts when it's obviously such a crock of s***. If you knew someone that genuinely believed you were a kiddy fiddler, you'd just cut them out of your life and forget about it. But if said person was a f***ing spazz like Merson or Wright, with a platform of tens of millions and repeated the lie, you wouldn't bother?
  7. The ban's been upheld though, he's officially resigned as President of UEFA (a post to which he was never going to have returned) and that's it - we'll not see him again. Don't get vexed about yesterday's men like this turd and the likes of Blatter and Warner - worry more about the fact that the new boss (Infantino) is as crooked as the last...
  8. What nonsense. Even Wimbledon have risen from the grave. If we started next season in the National League, with an owner who wasn't a thief and a liar, we could get 40,000 easy.
  9. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_UEFA_Cup_Final No problems with travelling numbers that night, I assure you.
  10. I can think of two reasons. One, the place is a dirty tip; two it would take several months to cover up all the s*** Direct signage - especially the ones on the front of the East Stand and Gallowgate roofs. No it wouldnt, we did it for every europa league game (apart from the ones on the roof, which just need a sheet covering them like at the olympics) That was a slight exaggeration on my part. My first point is the most salient one - the place is f***ing filthy inside and out with fatty showing no signs of splashing out on a power washer.
  11. No. Europa League 2011 - Aviva in Dublin Champs League - Wembley, etc.
  12. I can think of two reasons. One, the place is a dirty tip; two it would take several months to cover up all the Shit Direct signage - especially the ones on the front of the East Stand and Gallowgate roofs.
  13. I think Sunderland never won any games for half a season a couple of times when they set two of the words points total record. Derby having won only 1 game all season (us) when they went down would have done the same. If memory serves, we generously provided 44% of Derby's points total that season.
  14. Met him in the bar (he was drinking Coke. I was not) of the Duke's Palace Hotel in Bruges the night before our EL game there in 2012. He was an absolute gent and really pleased to talk about football and whatever. Very average footballer though. Bon chance, Monsieur.
  15. Where's that from? The BBC's preview: http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/36118654 Found it, cheers. It's slightly tragic how Lawrenson's desperation to be noticed has him being deliberately contrary. It's like the decline and fall of Jimmy Hill at the BBC, only with more pathos.
  16. Newcastle were 4/9 that day. Absolutely buying money. Paid for my season ticket and summer holiday in 90 minutes.
  17. The results of the poll's are the reason why nothing will change and Ashley will continue to get away with everything he does at the club. The 'applaud' option is just mackems on the wind-up.
  18. Whatever are you alluding to?
  19. "You've got to slide the key home, push the right buttons, and wait for her to growl" I'll get me coat.
  20. That's good stuff. Really goes nowhere near far enough but might right some of the mental preconceptions that exist about Cuntley, the club, our 'deluded' support, etc. with the ill-informed and ignorant.
