Superstar Tradesman

Anyone else wondering why he's still celebrating his birthdays in local bars instead of behind them?

So the fans are allowed to boo and show their disappointment but the manager who trains them into a well oiled machine isn't allowed to be? The M.O'N. parallel was only one off the top of my head regarding his body language. Morinho publically cut Joe Cole down to the size of a pea, mid-celebration, just after he scored because he wasn't happy with him. My point is, pitchside manner is just an excuse to have a pop as it isn't mentioned when we're winning.

Sour grapes as far as I can see. Dons fans wanting the Huns to win a final. Dear oh dear.

Been carded every game for weeks now and how he's not been pulled aside for it is beyond me. If he's anywhere near the starting line up on Saturday I'm going to switch off.

Players need dropped at a domesitc level if they even want a bench space at Bayern. Very few of them deserve to be in the starting line up.

I was only listening on the radio but I was convinced someone was going to have a go at him on the pitch.

Well apparently pictures say a thousand words so...

Maybe if we had a captain on the park giving the players a hard time for kicking a ball out of play then he wouldn't need to? But that's by the by as I couldn't give a flying fuck what Calderwood does on the touchline. Martin O'Neil was a grade-A, jack-in-the-box arsehole but I'd have him in charge in a minute. It's what the manager does in training, team talks and decision making during matches that concerns me.

Not sure where to start regarding last night's tanking so I'll give it a body swerve and also drop the subject of the performance and tactics which were obviously shocking. Personally I think it goes a lot deeper than just the aforementioned points and it really is stunting the growth and progress of our team. There seems to be an agenda by the powers that be, to pull in as much cash as possible (which is great) but at the expense of the product on the park. We lost our team captain and although we pulled in a fee of £1m, we've not replaced him in any sense of the word. Sure Zander seems to be getting there but he was there alongside Anderson and nobody has slotted in beside him. We've now lost 2 of our regular starters who were guaranteed to be playing each Saturday come hell or high water. We've taken in around £300k(?) for the pair but yet again we haven't replaced them. Surely we'd have made that sum, or possibly more, if we'd have let them go for free at the end of the season and reaching a final. Lovell looks set to walk, dropped again last night and no doubt Mackie will be seen as a 'new signing'. I've absolutely no doubt that Stevie will be another that won't directly be replaced and we'll bring in another utility player so we can juggle the squad around to attempt to fill the gaps. Nicolson I thought would eventually sign but I'm beginning to doubt it and I very much doubt we'll replace him with another 10 goal a season midfielder. This season we had the potential to lay down some granite building blocks on the solid foundations that were laid down last season. But planning permission has been denied, the site manager is struggling with the workforce he's been handed as they're just not skilled enough to replace the previous lot. (See what I did there Stewartie? I put it in builder's terms so you might fucking twig the fans aren't happy you soulless fucking cunt!) I'm fully aware what happens when you 'speculate to accumulate' but there's also got to be some sort of give and take. The fans are now fed up of giving and it's reflecting in the attendances. The club have made a fortune this season between tv, extra games, extra rounds in competitions and player sales so surely a few quid to bolster the squad in January wouldn't have been too much to ask? People can harp on about JC, his tombola and his tactics but when the club, not the manager, the club, are selling players like Anderson, Clark and Hart. Only to replace them, if at all, at crucial parts of the season with the likes of Mair, Duff, Smith, etc... then there's only so much we can expect. To get back to last night's game... Miller is being carded almost every game now which tells me he's frustrated whereas a few months ago he was enjoying his football. The fans headed for the doors early and we didn't even have a striker on the bench, let alone a player, who could have dug us out of that hole. Frustration all round. Personally I wish it were those in charge that were on the pitch being pelted with coins last night. At least the fuckers would have posed a larger target to hit when they were on their hands and knees filling their pockets for the next round of 'speculate to decimate'.

As much as I hate getting beat by United, I've got to side with CtS on this. Levein's doing a good job at United, they've knocked 7 past us in 3 weeks. Thompson has been bankrolling the club he obviously loves, even when they had that clown the Bin Man spending a fortune on players to finish in the bottom 6. The United players wanted to be in the final and played like it. Good luck to them. Oh and regarding this... Harsh and a little bitter because of the result no doubt. But not nearly as bad as the KKK mod on the live chat last night, who "hopes Thompson dies a painful death before the final".

He was an arsonist on the show so you might have your firewires crossed.

Nicolson signed yet?

Maybe you should stick to the EE as your source is rank rotten.

The alopecia took care of that.

Munich had the 3rd reich, Tannadice is off the 3rd right off the dualer.

It's strawberry blonde you limping cunt.

I had him down as first scorer. I'll have to tear up my coupon now.

What did these lorries sell Big Al?

I must be getting Cassius mixed up as I thought he was a French producer of dance music?

Haha, just found a picture of him used on a console game: Although it's still an improvement on the real thing: Have to say I'm a little disappointed as I was looking forward to seeing him play. Even though he'd have torn us a new one.

Try saying that to his severed face.

Heard he cut himself shaving.

Is this game on the tv btw?

His other half is an Arab so that'll explain it.
