  1. 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...
  2. 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.
  3. 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?
  4. 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.
  5. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_UEFA_Cup_Final No problems with travelling numbers that night, I assure you.
  6. 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.
  7. No. Europa League 2011 - Aviva in Dublin Champs League - Wembley, etc.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. Newcastle were 4/9 that day. Absolutely buying money. Paid for my season ticket and summer holiday in 90 minutes.
  13. 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.
  14. Whatever are you alluding to?
  15. "You've got to slide the key home, push the right buttons, and wait for her to growl" I'll get me coat.
  16. 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.
  17. I've sat next to him a couple of times in press boxes - his breath is so bad it could melt metal, like the blood of 'Alien'.
  18. Talyor off. 'Injured' apparently, at the end of the 1st 45. Commentator said this was a 'nightmare' for us...
  19. I think its pretty obvious what the cause of it is but no significant changes will be made. Charnley's going to get the bullet, for one.
  20. I wish we did get what we pay for. Riviere, for example, is a League Two/Conference standard player.
  21. Because no-one really knew what QF was, so they switched to Qatar Airways - another government-owned entity, with a more global presence. When I tipped up in Qatar to edit Qatar Today, the boss told me something interesting: 'There are only about 100 people who matter in this country. They own everything and they are all related'. I thought that was a bit OTT, but he was right.
