Told ya didn't I? Told ya I'd do it!

Sell Tom Eaves and I'll burn the place down I said..

Ya wouldn't listen!

You don't wanna mess with me when I've got a box of Bryant & May's in my hand....

*Legal Disclaimer: It wasn't really me - I don't even rate Tom Eaves. I have a very good alibi, and I don't mess with matches cos my mum told me not to.

Don't tinker with a winning team. That's where Sheridan went wrong.

He'll probably be a bench warmer at the moment - can't see anyone pushing either of our full backs out the way they're playing.

I used both, phoned the companies in question and got them to undercut the comparison site by being a bulls---er.

 

I then went with Direct Line by telling them how much I'd got the others down to and getting them to undercut that.

If you're willing to put the effort in, you can make savings everywhere. Too often people accept that the best price quoted is the best price they'll get.

Ackey's right. Ring round and tell people what you've been quoted and get them to beat it. Also ALWAYS use a cashback site where possible - I have received £341 Quidco cashback so far this year, just on essentials like insurance, RAC cover, hotel rooms, and my Playboy mag subscription.

That quote looks strange out of context, like I agree with everything you've ever said. This clearly isn't the case.

I've never found you to be disagreeable.

Oh, hang on........

I heard you the first time ;)

To be honest though, I think there may be a difference between a 2.5 warrior and say, a 1500 midget, 1300 escort, 1300 Beetle or the likes.

And if it's a pre-1973 model there is no road fund to pay. (Unless that's another policy the government have u-turned).

It's always worth considering buying a classic car and insuring it through specialist classic car insurers or owners clubs.

As an eighteen year-old (Admittedly a very long time ago!) I bought an MG B and joined the MG Owners Club, which allowed me to insure the car Fully comprehensive with them for just £110.

In today's money and climate, I reckon that would equate to around £900.

Nah, more like if the mark robins goal hadn't have gone in they would have got rid of fergie, speaking to most united fans i know they consider that goal and the one at forest in the 3rd round that year as the moments when united's fortunes changed, the hughes semi was the year after they won there first premier league i think??

I agree. It was our first FA cup semi against Utd that saved Ferguson, not the 1994 one. They went on to beat Palace in the final and never looked back from there. By 1994 Ferguson had become the Messiah at Old Trafford.

They then won the league cup and 1st Div runners up in 1991/2, followed by the Premier league title in 1992/3, and had won the Premier League plus CocaCola cup runners up by the time we played them in the 1994/5 semi.

All Hughes' goal did was break our hearts (As did Sharp's miss from 3 yards ).

Bah humbug.... you'll be back to moaning come Christmas.

Hey! Don't knock the moaners!

Without them we'd still have Penney in charge, and the happy clappers would be stood amongst our attendances of 900 arguing between themselves about who is the most loyal.

I shall forever uphold my right to voice my opinion on matters where I believe the outcome may compromise the future of my club. (And it will be way after xmas this year - mark my words)

Oh here we go again......

 

Silly me for thinking that this season was actually looking quite positive after a promising pre-season performance wise, a new management duo making all the right noises and a swell of fan feeling that we’ll be on for a better season than the last dire one.....

 

My mistake, lets all go back to revisiting old ground, slagging anyone off who’s associated with the club from directors to the tea-lady, getting ready to boo players , snipping at fellow fans and generally peeing & moaning about anything & everything. Ah, the football season with latics; I’ve missed it this summer....welcome back!!

I love a good moan, I really do, but since PD's appointment I have seen absolutely nothing that disappoints me so far.

Pride, effort, motivation, common sense, belief, skill, ideas, speed, loyalty. Everything is there apart from luck. If we get a bit of that too, then this could be a very interesting season.

Certainly not the one to miss, OAFC0000.

I dont

Well, maybe not this season!

My opinion (FWIW).....

I never shout anything that might fire the opposition up. I am always amazed when I hear our fans chorusing "You're not singing anymore", which almost always results in the opposing fans singing and rallying their team - That doesn't make sense to me, I'd rather they were outsung or silent, and unable to gee their team up.

Hughes will just be another member of the opposition on saturday and will warrant no more respect than their left back, keeper or mascot. Whilst I wasn't particularly happy with the length of his sentence, he filled our number nine shirt and scored some very welcome goals as part of his release terms. That said, he was a major figure in a season packed with detrimental incident, and I lost patience with him after his mid-game spat with Sheridan where they both traded insults across the touchline ("f*** you" "No, f*** you").

As BB80 has also mentioned, Lee had an annoying habit of doing something stupid during a game which ended up with him missing a crucial fixture, and that frustrated me no end. I hope for the sake of his team that he has eradicated that part of his game, and grown up a bit.

We have moved on, and this season has seen the return of hope and optimism, and last saturday's support was a sign that we may have turned a corner, and we're all fighting the same cause.

I don't see the point in booing LH anymore than I understood the need to subject Ian Moore to relentless abuse (And believe me, I think he is as big an asshole as any other hated figure). I'd rather see us channel everything into raising our own players' spirits.

The majority of seats on the first two rows have only the seat back and no base on them. It was pretty funny watching people take their places and then grasp round for a fold-down seat that wasn't there.

Most of them, as said earlier had netting over them though. 1800 seemed about right.

He was sat infront of me.

 

Hook, line and sinker at it's finest.

 

There was three in that first block of bindippers who took one massive chomp at the bait.

 

all the best anyway lads

He was sat 2 seats away from me, and my 8 year old daughter said "Daddy, what's a tw*t? because that funny man keeps shouting it" I said "See all those people in that stand over there........"

It's wrong, I know, but I couldn't help myself.

guy was an idiot who wouldnt sit down to the left of us though , resulted in getting a punch off an old guy

Saw him get asked to sit down, but thought that was the end of it.

Sounds like the aforementioned scouser in the blue tracky top may have caught up with him outside the ground though

Why's that?

I passed Bluetrackyman outside, and he didn't look a happy bunny. Did he collar our entertainer?

Got one and I like it. Opinions and all that.

Absolutely. I hope enough people like it that we sell a couple of thousand.

I went for the blue though.

How's your nose btw?

Had his shades on top of his head and had a "oasis2 style haircut going on..

 

Yep! That's him.

 

But yes the Rifle Range landlord was amusing too.

 

Did have one worrying moment, whenthe coppers came up the stand and beyond us...I though Tinny was going to get it...lol....but know he managed to get past the 100mins off footy (fergie time eh)

 

The steward who originally went to have a word was brilliant, but his senior steward insisted on making a big deal, and didn't seem like he'd be happy until he'd had someone thrown out. Fortunately the young steward smoothed things with the police

LL is referring to tangerine dreams' late night facebook photo session last night. He had a scarf. And nothing else.

You can't beat a good first day win for instilling 'Must get naked and celebrate now' thoughts!

I just supped £28 worth of Nuit St Georges. We all have our own way I suppose

I went to buy one the other day, but changed my mind when I saw it. As much as I like white kits, it just didn't look like a proper football shirt, more like a branded t-shirt.

Was he naked but for a scarf?

Can you not conjure up more 'Normal' images before reaching for the Kleenex?

Christ! Surely you can obtain some reasonable 'Adult literature' even over there?

He did a brilliant job of psyching everyone up for the game too. Just before kick off he went to every single player and slapped hands with them, before coming to the fans and raising the atmosphere.

Was first to gee everyone up when we conceded too.

He seems a brilliant motivator - I really like that about him.

Who was the guy sat on the front row near the Tranny fans who kept us all in stitches with his banter?

He was stood up shouting "I can't understand you, say again!" every time they shouted something, and kept telling them to speak in English.

At one point he said something like "You in the blue trackie top, what did your mate just say? You need some translators round here, and schools, yes S-C-H-O-O-L-S, and Jobs. I'm sorry, I really can't understand you, but all the best anyway".

Suppose you had to have been there, but it kept a lot of us amused, even some of the Trannies.

How did the Sunderland striker look?

Huffed and puffed a bit, but looks strong and could be a handful. We need to see more before judging him to be fair.

I'll take a sloppy late consolation goal against us next and every other week thanks. We got the win n that's all we asked for. Enjoy it.

Here's an artist impression of todays signing

 

That's just a picture of the Last Supper with a ball added!!
