Superstar Tradesman

That's my point. No strength in depth whatsoever and even the manager isn't willing to trust the dross he's signed and would prefer to rush the usual suspects back from the treatment table.

Well the way I see it (before the winter break) we had: Langfield Zander Seve Hart Clark Miller Nicholson Who would play come hell or high water. Perhaps the "same 11" was pushing it a little but it wasn't far off and I could easily list as many on our books who haven't hardly played a full 90 minutes this season. The 'first 11' must hear who has just been signed and think "ach well, no need for me to panic" whereas they should be thinking "fuck, I'd better up my game!".

What's really beginning to grind my gears is the starting 11 seems to start regardless of form or fitness and then the dross you highlighted, never starts. I'd rather have a hardworking squad of 22 journeymen dying to get a slot on a Saturday than 11 untouchables and 11 unplayables.

Expect to hear more scintilating news tomorrow like "Dons players wearing football socks", "pies served in the stands" and "penalty claim for Aberdeen turned down". Tell us something we don't fucking know eh.

The policy being not to have any decent youth players.

That is shocking. You have a missus?!

FUCKING GREAT NEWS! Best thing I've read in the EE in years. Good on the players, shame it doesn't have the club's backing. Would love to see how they fill the pages if it was a longer stint.

Hammell or Cole can only play left-back so why would JC be interested?

*remembers name for drunken 'research' later...

He did. What do you think the Nivea was for?

Didn't you hear Madbad? McGhee is the one to lead us forward (and take us through). Dispite the fact he couldn't beat a team that's playing pish and has been since the turn of the year.

Who's next?

Doctor who?

This confidence thing is a pile of shite anyway. Are they really that fucking put off by a couple hundred drunken idiots then they shouldn't be playing football for a living. Stepping up to take a penalty at the World Cup Finals then aye ok. Going one-on-one with the keeper, in front of 8 thousand at your home ground and bottling it because you don't have the confidence is........ is........ is.......... Fuck it's even more infuriating than I first thought! Fucking bottling cunts! BOOOOOOOOOO!!!

The rest of our squad should start playing with a set of cojones to fix their current problems.

As a point of note Zander - the fans have been shouting their lungs off during the European games and saying zip in the domestic games. Why do you think that is?

Well he did well for the past 2 years, goes elsewhere and he's hardly kicked a ball. I'm beginning to wonder if this is our physio bench looks like this:

Well a not so wild stab in the dark would be that JC wanted to keep Clark, Hart, Nicolson, Zander and Miller but they weren't offered improved offers. Willie backed Milne and was heard to say on that interview "well Sir Alex rebuilds his team every 3 or 4 years if he needs to or not". The DoF might be the go-between but it doesn't mean he'll necessarily sit on the fence with every passing issue.

What I'm sick of is the players and staff coming out with shite about the fans whether good or bad. How about a back page of "fans want Maguire to actually score once this season", "South Stand wishes JC would stop bleathering pish" or "Red Army promises to come back if team wins" for a change? Either put up or shut up you shower of cunts. The fans are doing their job, how about you concentrate on doing yours? Do your talking on the pitch because that's what really concerns us.

It was also his cross that Lovell nodded into the Bayern net.

Clubs won't be looking at the performances at the weekend. They'll be looking at results and stats which appear to be better than what we're subjected to. Remember that these clubs will also have more to spend in the transfer market.

What happened to the quote last weekend from JC - "attacking formation for the rest of the season because I've been too worried about counteracting the opposition and it's not worked". Can someone please remind him?

Hart went through spells but I can only remember Anderson missing about one game in about 18 months.

As I'm pretty sure Anderson did. But that's my point, they all went to new clubs and those clubs stuck them into recovery whereas we were happy to burn them out.
