  1. Here is an extract from an article he wrote when the minute's silence for Thatcher debate was going on

     

    "You know what I mean. Even when there’s a minute’s silence for a perfectly decent sportsman who has carked it, the routine is clearly established: the tannoy man asks everyone to shut up a bit; the referee pips his whistle; the crowd is quiet for about 13 seconds before some flatulent cret shouts ‘b******s’; several arguments break out; the respectable majority of the crowd attempt to cover their embarrassment by clapping; the clapping goes on for about 19 seconds; the telly shows a few cutaways of footballers looking awkward and bored; finally the ref puts everyone out of their misery by peeping again; the sport starts."

     

    Prick.

     

     

  2. I'd let Mellor and Winchester go; neither have really done enough to stay, but keep the rest. Lockwood and Wilson have proved what a regular central defensive pair can add to the team.

     

    Brown has come on leaps and bounds, Truelove (if his cameo at Orient at the end of last season is anything to go by) looks a great prospect and I don't think Kusunga is as bad as some think either at CB or RB, so OK as a back up.

     

    Grounds is a good, solid defender even if his distribution is sometimes a bit wayward, but he's also a good cover at CB.

    We cannot afford to have an injury prone, highly paid player because he's 'ok backup'. I've not seen one person question his ability, it's his fitness problems that make him a liability.

  3. So was Kiegan Parker and both he and Wes were back in league 1 for the beginning of the season.

     

    Just because Barnsley fans like him means :censored: all! He has been found out the league table shows it. Goals conceded left right and centre. He can cope at

    League 1 level but not above so he should be OK next season with Barnsley in league 1.

     

    Since when did you speak for the "majority" of Barnsley fans anyway? Is that what happens after going to one of their games

    You only have to search his name on Twitter or browse their forums to see how highly rated he is. He broke back into their team last month and has been solid ever since. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27048620?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter. Wes was never going to get into that Posh side, it had McCann, Boyd and Frecklington all competing for a place. There's no shame in that.

     

    Oh, and Parker didn't leave Blackpool till a year after they were promoted.

  4. Wes was part of one of the better sides that have been promoted from this league, it was an incredibly strong division that year. As for M'voto getting 'found out' in the championship that's a load of bollocks, too. Him, Jennings, Cranie and O'grady are the only players the majority of Barnsley fans want to keep, I was at their game with Bolton on Saturday and he was very impressive.

  5. For a period of about ten years and then again later for another couple I was involved with the club to some degree and on good terms with most of the senior people and plenty of others.

     

    Not once did it occur to me to ask any of them how much anyone was on and not once did any of them volunteer such information.

     

    Either the club is now staffed almost entirely by untrustworthy gob:censored:es who wouldn't know the meaning of discretion or many people on here talk bollocks about their reliable sources......or both

    Never!!

  6. Bit off topic,but according to the Echo rag Tranmere could be in deep :censored: financially with their chairman Peter Johnson unable to confirm whether he'll be able to continue to bail the club out.

    Basically,if they don't find a new buyer in the next 12 months they might not have sufficient funds to keep the club going.

    Hasn't he found a new bloke to take over? Sure I read something.

     

    EDIT: This? http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/peter-johnson-tranmere-rovers-sold-6839537

  7. No he is not a :censored: footballer. Last time I checked, heading, tackling, tracking your runners, organising, keeping your shape and leadership were all qualities, not negatives.

     

    He isn't going to beat 3 men or pass it 45 yards, but that doesn't make him ":censored:".

    Agree 100%, his distribution is not even that bad imo. Really like him, proper leader.

  8. Dont tell me its over the top ive been to nearly every away game this season and havent heard it once so although some might of been guilty of singing along with it there were a couple who should of known better will leave it at that but for me it left a bad taste.

    It was sung at Swindon, how many times do we actually have a comfortable away lead so we can sing it?
