"£500m buys you two poxy cups, and that's a successful season??" - NSROT [11 - R]

[Skizz]

I feel I should explain myself.

Shit club
I don't like them. I am entitled to my opinion aren't I?

Shit fans
12,181 people turn up for a League Cup semi-final. That isn't even half full. Don't even give me the TV excuse because you got more people in for the League match between us, we had the same amount of fans, and that match was also on TV.

Shit ground
The lovely JJB stadium. No atmosphere, cold, crap food...and don't try saying I don't know what i'm on about as I've been there on two occasions. The only stadium worse than it up north is Ewood Park.

Shit sponsor
Have you ever been to JJB? Once you have you will understand this statement and ask any UK-based poster on this forum what they think of JJB - the answer will be the same.

And what about Arsenal. "Shit club" - hmmm, most successful London club in history, first London team to reach a Champions' League final, only London team to win three Championships in a row. Shit club? If you like.

"Shit fans". Funny how everyone says our fans are quiet, but we outsing your lot every time we are at your gaff. Your lot only shout when there's no pies left.

"Shit ground". Hmm, almost 2 million people through the turnstiles this season says otherwise. Some people seem to like it! I would add that it won "best new structure of the year" but that's just nerdy.

"Shit sponsor". The world's richest airline. Don't really care for that too much though.

Well you can't say Bigg isn't honest! :rolleyes:

Don't get me started on the argument I had with Blackburn's fans at the Emirates...they tried saying our fans were fatter than theirs. Sledging at football has really gone downhill recently...

[Case]

Few issues here, damarc, IF you have to double post, don't take 5 mins between them, it makes it seem u spent waaaaay too long searching the web to find the year you started in the league...

Secondly, I like Wigan FC, I really do. I have no idea why, guess bringing Jimmy B to the prem, the empathy we all felt when Crespo cheatski'd them in their first game, how they played footy at it's simplest yet managed to avoid cheatski wandering it...also I loved the old Wigan rugby league team of the 90's (Robinson & Offiah) so mebe that helped....

Gooners, for all their many, MANY flaws, are not shit fans. Tho it was funny to see them lose interest in football when they got knocked out of everything with 6 odd weeks left, but hey!

I only know trim goon fans, mostly coz they all have to stay in shape running from the law mind.....

And as for sponsors, well few footy teams have a label to be proud of nowadays, buy gaygaybee sports, about as low as it gets!

[Skizz]

I worked out why we were so crap this season. The whole Premiership had a supply of this:

I've got 8.

Is there a prize for the closest?

[Skizz]

There are no winners in the harsh world of football transfers...

[Mr Vexed]

who do you reckon the goons will sign this summer? doesnt seem to be any mention of anyone linked with them except a tentative link to bale, which may i add i hope either you or manure get, cos i sure as hell dont want my beloved yidos to get him.

he is toss, ive seen him quite a few times and i dont know what all the hype is about tbh. ugly boy thats all i know.

[Skizz]

We've got a new keeper in firstly, an international keeper who is quite young so we can mould him. I would expect us to sign another midfielder and a goal-poaching striker, but it wouldn't surprise me if that was our only signing of the summer.

Dunno, Real Madrid do pretty well,took Owen for a year, he scored em a decent amount, saved some face for a poor season otherwise but they realised he was passed it and mugged Newcastle for mad cheddar!

Retrubution for lumbering them with Woodgate the year b4!

[Devil500]

One word ANGEL IS AMAZING!!!

3 goals in 2 games and like part of very single goal!

[Mr Vexed]

did you just use the word 'amazing' and j p angel in the same sentance?!

[Devil500]

Yup. He's already got 3 goals in NY :cool: 3 Assists.... not shabby.

[Dr.Phil]

Hey bigg it looks like we are getting close to signing Ribery

[Case]

Shudn't we all be talkin about Becks's recall?

Nicely timed for some new preds ay.....

[appleCORR7]

I'm really pleased he's been recalled! I never thought he should have been dripped in the first place! I was wondering if he was going to wear the 7 shirt but being as Hargreaves is injured there won't be a problem otherwise it could have been fisty cuffs!

Apparently Becks is in the best form of his life so lets hope he can give some of that confidence to England. Wonder if John Terry will be feeling a little bit awkward though!

[Case]

Now I watch pretty much all Real's games and Becks IS NOT in the form of his life, but he's still playing well- better than Lamps etc who will be picked on rep, and Id say that he's gotta play, even tho Bentley has been looking very good, quite frankly Id be inclined to play both. Owe's still, well, past it, so most likely gotta play Crouch thus Becks is the sensical choice.....
Heck, we've even got the players to drop that whiny lil bi@tch Joe Cole!!!

[thebigman]

joe coles decent

rather him on the flank than lennon whose constantly flopped at england level
