Guest rosstoon Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I like Andy Townsend but I know what yuo mean. He was alright on Talk Sport. But it all starting to make a bit of sense with Shearer wanting Campbell, and also apparantly leaving BBC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spooky Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 See my problem with this is that despite being in my mid 30's, of sound mind (generally) and a responsible professional person who rationally knows that this is all bullshit ......I'm starting to hope. This is not good for the soul i know the feeling, and the temptation is there...but nope.. I won't let it happen, its all shit... (probably) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noisewater Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 And Townsend rang in sick to Talksport to day. Clearly having a job interview for MOTD. That's sealed it for me. It mus be true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I don't have an ITK, I guess I am one. Talked to Barry Moat after the game. Nice fella but he talks real fast. He's trying to cobble together some investment money and wanted to confirm my interest. He must have had a comma or decimal out of place as he thought I had quite a bit more than the $16, 238.59 I've raised. When I insisted on pledgeing the amount in full (less travel and lodging to sign the deal) he said he'd get back to me and hung up. He did say that he expected it all to go down this week, Wednesday at the latest. Shearer was to be named and there would be in excess of 10M in the transfer kitty with 3 and possibly 4 players already lined up and ready to sign. He also told me that Elvis WAS alive and ran a small curio shop in Gatehead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Townsend would be good on MOTD. Much better than Shearer who might make a decent manager but is the worst pundit they've had since Lawrenson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Andy Townsend's commentary on Fifa09 is top quality stuff! "Thats offside" "That's a goal" "That's a corner" and so on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the small touches than bring a sense of realism, and the fact he's written it in first-person also lends authenticity to the piece. Great work.

Doctor Zaius Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Right forgive me for osunding clueless, because I am. Why does Moat need permission off barclays? If he is struggling to get investment and funds to initially takeover the club, hows he going to afford to pump a decent amount of money into the club aswell as paying the bills?

cosmic Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 My mate is Shearer's cleaner and when he went in today he said there was a CV and covering letter addressed to Mike Ashley, so he also thinks this could happen this Wednesday. Did Shearer remember to attach his nice passport photo on the CV? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
