The modern term is gutless.

I wish I knew how to do the tumbleweed image thing.

I have no idea who this person is, only that they're using my FC United post as a name. Seems like I have a fanclub. lol

LOL Even though I agree, you've shoehorned it in to this thread. Be more subtle in your trolling. Either that or to quote Rambo 4, "You really are an uptight b*****d"

I was gonna spit in it anyway. I replied to your private message in a very polite manner too. tut tut.

In the promotion year, we were playing Bristol City at home. They had a striker called Junior Bent. He came over near the Lookers Stand and a bloke behind me shouted "Oi, whats your dad? Fully bent?!"

WE HAVE A WINNER!!!! Reporter - "Ian, what would you say your favourite goal has been this season?" Marshall in a ridiculously high scouse accent - "Errrrrmm. There's beeeeen so manyyyyyy" You have to see it. lol

"Doctor Doctor, I feel like a pig." "Well, how longs this been going on for?" "About a wheeeeeeeeek"

LOL Close but not quite. I'll give a clue after 5 unsuccessful guesses. Its an absolute classic, surely some people must remember!!!!

The first person to name which Latics player said this and when and where it was said will win a pint in The Grey Mare on Saturday.

Your not the only one! Homwtown club, you can either apologise here or via private message! ;)

lol. I know what you mean, luckily though, I don't have to hand a project over until tomorrow and its 90% done so I've been able to engage in some witty banter. Its better when there are legitimate arguments.

lol, come on the wife comment is such a common one it doesn't qualify as a persoanl insult. One thing I don't do is personal insults. Here's some ammo then, last night I was rolling around with 8 other blokes, dripping with sweat and trying to concentrate on finishing people from the back. lol. Sadly its true.

Yeah, we had him on loan as a centre back and bought him for £100,000. Does anyone remember the quote? 10 points if you can tell us correctly where its from? "Errrrrm, Theres beeeeen so manneee"

Hallelujah!!!!! I enjoy our discussions Hometown Club.

A previous poster (I believe a mod) says Black is 6ft. No argument there then. Steve Redmond was 6ft, Haining was 6ft (or less?), Size means nothing. As I presume your wife tells you. You go on MOTM ratings do you? OK.

Bold! Could well work.

Thanks b0ndl1ne and davebuckley06 for contributing good, well thought out posts instead of petty point scoring.

I'm speaking as an FA Qualified coach and a football fan of 22 of my 29 years. Dont come out with "well I've been going 30 years". I can't help the year I was born. Don't get me started on Gregan, I think the lack of support on here for you speaks volumes on that one. After every game there are complaints about it being a terrible central defensive partnership with Gregan making mistakes. We'll leave the off field stories and intimidation factor out of it. I'm waiting for your alternate team Hometown Club. I'm predicting you will let things drift and if we sneak a 1-0 win in an appalling game, things will be on the up. Warhusrt came up as an example of a small, young full back being made into a centre half. Earl Barrett is another example, a small frail full back becoming our greatest defender. Richard Jobson was a full back for Hull City before we signed him. Higher level players but the examples prove it can be done. Really, your saying Black should be released then. He is never gonna play, even when we are at possibly our lowest ebb.

And that matters because.....................

No alternate teams I see.

I thought that was one of his major attributes! He was quite a cultured defender! I could see him controlling the ball on his chest, winning free kicks etc. Iit would certainly have beaten the days when we had Steve Redmond up front.

What do you think of the Stam idea?

Oh, and LOL Razza's taken over my mantle.

This is an idea I had for 2 years that I am ready to be ridiculed over!!!! Get ready!!! Why didn't Stam get a run up front ala Ian Marshall? Good in the air, good feet, could read the game. I honestly think he may have proved a real handful with a nippy striker alongside him. He would have been better than Ormerod, Byfield, Kabba etc. We'll never know anyway.
