    It's time the new manager stopped blaming the owners. Face it lads, we're never going to win the league under him.

    I think that may well be that for him, although without the money to pay up his contract and the shambolic state of the club serving to put off any halfway decent replacement, it could be a while before that translates into anything practical. I just hope to God Kenny doesn't end up stepping in.

    In the context of how we (and most other big clubs) perform in the opening stages of League Cup I didn't think that was too bad. Lovely goal and good stuff all-round for N'gog... be nice to see Babel kick on from here, though as others have noted he did his best work where he's never likely to get more than the odd few minutes in a "proper" game... Degen was great, but that may of course have just been a Bruno Cheyrou v Lazio moment (and it was only Leeds)... as for Spearing, I thought he looked like what he is, which is a tidy, economical but very inexperienced young player who could go either way but at least looks like he could have a crack at making it here. I don't think people who overhype him in order to try and make points about Lucas and by extension the manager are doing the lad any favours.

    As the original post says, had you told Leeds fans in 2001 that they would now be in their third season in the third division, I'm sure you'd have been accused of "scaremongering" too. Newcastle fans probably threw it around a bit last season as well. Oh, and of course there's the people who suggested all wasn't as it seemed when Hicks and Gillette had so many fans eating out of their hands back in the "Snoogy Doogy" days - I think they were scaremongering too, weren't they? After all, it wasn't like we were going to end up having to divert money from player sales to pay off the Americans' debt just two years after they took over, was it? (And that, of course, after a season where we DID qualify for the Champions League).

    I don't think he could be more of a cunt if he had a clitoris surgically implanted in his forehead.

    I wouldn't take it personally lads, they shut at least half the Tube down every weekend these days. It's one of the many improvements London's seen since electing Boris Johnson.

    They'll finish in the Champions League places, and I don't think it's inconceivable they'll win the league. Hughes is a decent manager, and with the amount of money they've spent it'd be harder to miss the top four than end up there. The small, strange corner of the world that is English football is changing, and I'm not sure a lot of people have grasped that yet.

    Ah, re-reading Van Gough got me a bit misty-eyed just then.

    Has Brendan killed himself yet?

    You know what, it's 8 o'clock on a Saturday night and now that I think about it I'm not sure I'm going to be combing through Dave's archive for the next half hour to then have a triumphant "ta-da" moment when I find something from atk or Ian Brown or the ghost of Rashid or any of the rest of the gang saying, as I, you and everyone else who's been on the forum a while know they did, that Gerrard should be played in the middle partnering Mascherano, and what a tit the manager was for not doing so. If it gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling to think that I've "invented" that then be my guest mate.
  11. Moschops II
    Oh hello, the PMs have started then. I'll expect the rest of the lads in a minute.
  12. Moschops II
    That'll be the Klinnsman who got sacked after nine months in his only job in club football?
  13. Moschops II
    Matt_Utd? You just know he's 36 and still lives with him mum in Woking, don't you?
  14. Moschops II
    To be honest, his fanboys get on my tits far more than him.

    People can attempt to rewrite history all they like, but the mass love-ins for Xabi only began when Barry was revealed as a target, not when the idea of selling Xabi was first floated. Many of the same "match going reds" who are now forever shouting the odds about Alonso spent much of 07-08 calling for him to be dropped. For anyone over the age of 12, it shouldn't be about being "pro-Rafa" or "anti-Rafa." FFS, we're meant to be grown men, aren't we? It's about having some integrity in your opinions, not just simply turning bitch for the loudest "match going reds" on an internet forum.

    Also, no-one ever wanted him dropped so that Gerrard could play in the middle with Mascherano. I remember it clearly not happening at all over and over again.
  17. Moschops II
    Yup - to peak on whatever grey winter weekend lies ahead where we've had a dodgy result against someone like Hull while Madrid have put five past whoever the Spanish Hull might be.
  18. Moschops II
    I didn't mean you mate.
  19. Moschops II
    Like so much when it comes to our fans the goalposts move according to who the player is.
  20. Moschops II
    If we want to capitalise on the press attention around the owners' use of the Xabi money, then a walk-out or mass boycott is the one meaningful way to go. The likes of those two are deeply sensitive to how they're portrayed in the media, and the media will become more interested the more of a visual spectacle we offer them.

    If it's any yardstick, the only time you'll ever hear Everton being mentioned outside of Liverpool is people saying they've got a soft spot for them because they dislike us. Honest to God, in 20 years living mostly in the south, no-one EVER talks about them other than in relation to us. Spurs, even when they're having the piss taken out of them, are at least a club people outside of north London are interested in. EDIT: and of course I should read the whole of the thread before posting what's already been posted, just at twice the rambling length...

    Kanoute looks alarmingly, er, "happy" there.
  24. Moschops II
    Fuck me, are the same bunch of withered gaybos still crying into their Tia Marias about this?

    He wanted Stam too, right before he went to United.
