I imagine NewBee is the kind of guy who'd attend a swingers party but only to talk about the comparative fuel economy he gets out of his vectra when he's towing a caravan and when he isn't.

Anyone who tows a caravan on the Queens highways should be shot.

 

[Niceguyeddie]

If NM was your "No.1 target" (per RC), then OMcB must have been your No.2 target.

And if we were asking the same price as you were subsequently prepared to pay for McBurnie, then why wouldn't we have accepted your money?

Oh yeah, because the player wasn't willing to accept the only PL offer open to him, preferring instead to stay in the Championship with fucking Brentford.

That must be it

We were after both but maupay failed wilders character test
We only sign hungry players with a desire to do well for their team
You can keep that money grabbing little mercenary hope he ends up at Villa

 

[Albert Redcheeks]

Strategic commercial moves put in play for succession and control.

HARSH!

But fair.

 

[Blade58]

Genuine question.......how many players (and who) have we let go/sold that we wanted to/should have kept? I assume most would have kept Brooks but as he funded other incoming players, it wasn't too much of a loss was it?

Incidently Brooks won’t be playing against us first game. Out for while. Surgery needed on an ankle injury I think against Brentford other night.

Shame for the lad but not going to lie, pleased he's not gonna be playing against us.

I was upset about Tudor leaving. My dad hadn't planned in going to our next away game (Oxford) but decided to go and my disappointment got eased. We won 2-1 and I was surprised to see that one of our new signings sported a beard!

One of best line ups although have to admit never a Barnwell fan

One of best line ups although have to admit never a Barnwell fan

Both Barnwell and Hodgkinson had already played their last game for us. Hope made his debut at the Oxford game and Barlow played instead of Barnwell. Peter Howard wrote in the Green Un the following week of his disgust at a fan who, before the match, yelled at Barlow (stepping out of the team coach) "BARLOW!, you **!"

 

[Pinchy]

I also wish you good luck for the season. Proper club is Brentford and I’ve had some enjoyable chats with your fans over the years.

It seems CW was prepared to agree a fee potentially rising to £20m for McB but not for NM. And he never claimed that NM was his number 1 target. I actually think he wanted them both, but NM hasn’t shown the credentials needed to become one of our players under our current management team.

I doubt very much that Maupay has now been excluded forever...

 

[Pinchy]

No fucks given about Bournemouth players, the ‘lad’ included.

 

[Seth Rollins]

Even Roygbiv doesn't get 129 likes so quickly. Your work here is done RC and thank you very much for your service. I think we can all agree anyone else after this would be a fantastic bonus.

Well said.

Doesn't matter who the player is, I'm always going to feel sympathy when someone gets injured. Ex-Blade or not.

Hasn't Sharp got one?

Really? There are a lot of injuries in football. You must spread the sympathy very thin...

 

[Tunstall Fred]

I refuse to believe Billy, goalscoring centre forward legend of this parish, would even consider doing such a thing.

 

[Le Cynique]

Really? There are a lot of injuries in football. You must spread the sympathy very thin...

Any that I hear about or see, yeah. If it's something serious. Don't see how that's particularly controversial to be fair. Unless you're still salty about being called out over a spelling mistake.

Perhaps you should introduce a weekly ‘injury sympathy’ slot? You could include regular updates on the Bournemouth ‘lad’.

It's become quite clear to me that all Brentford fans piss sitting down.

I do that at home. What's the point in standing up for summet you could sit down for?

Nowt wrong with a posh piss.

Mate you do that cos your pussy whipped.

She doesn’t want you spraying the floor and you don’t want the bollockings.

 

[Bill Johnson]

There isn't an injury serious enough I don't wish upon Gareth Ainsworth and the cunt stopped playing years ago.

 

[BLADES1988]

I've been pissing sitting down since I had to keep my eyes peeled and watch this space, found it too hard stood up and aim looking at threads all the time!

 

[Le Cynique]

There isn't an injury serious enough I don't wish upon Gareth Ainsworth and the cunt stopped playing years ago.

Touché. I can't argue with that.

 

[Tunstall Fred]

Touché. I can't argue with that.

I also strongly agree.

Roy's 'View from the treatment table' ?

I can’t remember which home game it was but this was the season Frank Barlow produced one of the worst performances that I’ve ever seen in a Blades shirt. He was shocking, couldn’t do a single thing right, but he was obviously scared witless because of the stick some fans were giving him. Barlow started off ok for us, he was an intelligent bloke academically and it seemed to show in his thoughtful play, but his form really nosedived around this time and never recovered.

Yes, he was a clever player and was a good passer. He wasn't strong or fast enough so TC had to do the tackling in the middle etc until we signed Hockey.

Barlow was the first United player that I can remember our fans booing.
