Superstar Tradesman

Who in their right mind would take a manager who has improved a joke of a club with a very limited budget and now has European experience? I've no idea? :itchychinsmilie:

Had another thought about this late last night... We sold Anderson who was very rarely injured and he's hardly kicked a ball for Sunderland. Hart and Clark were next to be sold and both of them have started their new careers on the treatment table dispite only very rarely being out injured. Again that could all be shit luck but to me that says we're playing injured players or just not picking up on the fact that they're fucked. Very poor in my opinion.

I take it he bagged a hat-trick last night then?

There's been a lot worse managers went south than JC. Blobby Williamson springs to mind, what did he ever do up here? Harry Potter was another that wasn't/isn't any better than JC. So why not? From the outside looking in, there's Celtic and Rangers. The rest are made up from teams which make up the numbers in the league. Great post Baggy.

But these youth loan players aren't going to be denying anyone a slot on the bench or a chance to shine during the last 20 minutes of a game. If we had anyone like that then they'd already be there. I see it as a temporary fix until we have some decent youth which I believe is being looked at. But as you said, it takes time for them to develop.

Nah he got his marching orders when Motherwell (or was it Dundee) went into liquidation. He played Money, Money, Money by Abba amongst other comedic songs aimed at them. That's it settled, he's going on the list!

Which great young players would these loan signings be keeping out of the squad?

If we had Alukos and Walkers waiting in the wings then he wouldn't have to go down south on the scounge.

I'm reading Willie Miller's book at the moment and he states that there's just too much work to do as manager for one man to undertake. He said he was working 14 hours/day, 6 days a week and that he'd have been more successful (along with citing another few managers who have said the same) with a Director of Football as a go between. That way the manager gets to concentrate on the football side of things whilst the business side and a political go-between for the boardroom is covered by the DoF. Strange to note that Miller seems to be getting a bit of flak now but Milne still seems to be untouchable. We're at least getting the odd whisper from Miller but the last time I remember Stuartie being in the papers was when he ditched the syrup.

I'm not one to berate players during games but I stood watching him ping 25 yard crosses to a.n.other and trap the ball between his ear lobe/shoulder, both knees, shin/ground, bum/ankle during the halftime break in Munich. Half an hour later he was on the park playing and the ball was passed to him at the edge of their box, during open play. A peach of a ball which he 'controlled' with about three touches, ran after, then weaved his way back to our half because there was a nasty looking defender there. I screamed my guts out at the wee fanny.

Willie stood by him when QP dumped us out the cup and we've improved on paper except for a sticky patch this year. What EXACTLY would the club's excuse for sacking the manager at this point be? He's still the same "tactical tombola" using "fat orange bastard" he was when we took him on.

It could be shitty luck but do any of the injured players get a run-out in the reserves for a few weeks to get their match fitness up or do they just walk hobble straight back into the first team?

This doesn't wash with me. The stars of Fergie's era were running up and down sand dunes.

Maybe they're all saft as shite?

It is indeed and funnily enough they're both looking towards the Emergency Exit over to my left. But you already knew that.

Van Persie runs like a girl and even has a girly name. But he doesn't take fresh air swipes at footballs nor does he get brushed off by the weakest of challenges.

When did they start allowing jokes back?

He sort of reminds me of when you'd be playing football with your mates at school and one of their younger brothers/sisters/handicapped neighbours would want a game. The play would stop, everyone would humour them for a few kicks then someone would brush them off the ball and away you went again.

She loves the cheesy boaby.

See these 10 players to be axed..... can I do it?

Are they touting who the next manager is going to be? Sol Bamba perhaps? Or is it going to be Henrik Larsson? I wait with baited breath.

Seconded.

I've got Seve Syndrome. I just can't get up for this match at all.

OK Mum.

Who knows but the sooner February is over the better. I'm staring at Lee Mair & Dan Smith on my AFC calendar and I dread to look which two muppets are coming next.
