Things I've posted a thousand times before

[South Bucks]

That just cos one of our lot scored a few goals long ago they should still be on the team sheet.
Currie should start on Satdi by the way.

 

[Boxer Blade]

Yes Boxer, you're one of the elite few who would receive my piss in a hypothetical spontaneous combustion scenario.

I think I am happy with your answer Bash

 

[Davalon]

We've all been told a thousand times to stop exaggerating.

 

[Bashar Al Asaba]

Ah.

Sean Thornton v pommpey dance-off coming up.


Now this I HAVE seen a thousand times.

Because other teams, seemingly similarly shouldering debt liability, manage to sign talent or (shock horror) retain their talent? Whichever way you want to tart it up or excuse it away, it's the eleven men on the pitch and what they do with the ball and the enabling of which is on the critical path to success, here. Affective influences are there, granted, but aside from asking to explain why Forest have been so profligate this season and say, Boro sign Flint while we sign what seems to be a dud, you simply explaining that we acquire and/or grow talent simply to feed the costs of the club still doesn't wash.



And as we know, 'the accounts' are all very well and good as long as the accounting company are making the books look straight. I'd be surprised if any football club was any different. Joking aside, I don't think any of us think:

A. McCabe is as bent as
B. McCabe is on the make

There's zero evidence to support any of that and I give him more credit than to be hooky. But I feel there may be a feeling he is lying to us that the club is in deep shit and endless hock because of HIS fuckups. You've agreed with me before he's shown massive levels of incompetence and poor judgement. Wouldn't it be refreshing to hear that from the man himself? He's made another giant fuckup partnering him, the club and its supporters to what is emerging as a lodestone which has the potential to ruin the club once again with no clear resolution but a protracted (and costly, to the club) court battle, which is now starting to manifest itself (I believe) down on the pitch itself. This is all HIS doing, ST, not ours. We didn't sign shit manager only to have to pay them off because they were rubbish. We didn't excitedly announce a pairing with a form-previously-unknown Saudi 'billionaire' only to find our he had nefarious and highly honed methods to entrench himself in and amongst the club and extort leverage on McCabe himself. Is there any wonder no one wants the Prince at the club any more? Odd as it is and despite the chaos he has been custodian of, I feel many of us will take our chances with Kevin McCabe than some shady twat who has started to smash Sheffield United to bits already. But again … McCabe's mess … and the option is binary. Wrecking ball or hand grenade?

You can shrilly chip all you want with your asides and 'it's in the accounts' statements. We take your word for it. No one wants to scrutinise the myopic bullshit therein and even if they made it easy and we did, it would very, very possibly spell out the need we have to sell JO'C, Fleck, Billy and most of the first team just to pay some stupidly agreed get out clause for David fucking Weir if sacked before Christmas on his first year. All the declared accounts do is justify (to you and many) why we are eternally underhorsepowered and eternally underachieving. Who is the architect of all this? Why should we cut him some slack?

No supporter agreed to this situation. We were just encouraged (as with the HRH debacle) to 'get behind McCabe, because he's a Blade and he's saved our club'. Saved our club? Really? Have people been asleep since he came along?

It seems you've rather missed the point.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Ah.

Sean Thornton v pommpey dance-off coming up.


Now this I HAVE seen a thousand times.

Not a chance. He's not even got the point of the thread. He can find the argument he's after, and get his shrilly chips elsewhere. Because he's worked himself up into the usual frenzy. Thread ruined, as they say

I wouldn't piss on 75% of our fans if they were on fire.

...and you do piss on the other 25% when they're not on fire.

Do you mean laid naked on a glass coffee table?

Never seen a glass coffee table on the Kop...

Obviously. There's no leg room ffs.

 

[Sheff de party]

1. Football is about opinions and a discussion forum should allow us all to express differing views without being subjected to personal insults.

2. Paul Coutts is our best player by a mile and anyone who can’t see that is an idiot who knows nothing about football.

3. Sometimes I contradict myself.

1. The prince is here to make money, why is that so difficult to accept?
2. McCabe's back pocket must be like a wizard's sleeve.

Still not grasped it? I'll leave you to it

Feller, it's plain to see (because you have said it) that the answer is 'all in the accounts'.

Keep chanting it. People are starting to believe you. Pretty soon, even McCabe himself will become convinced and then the prophecy is fulfilled.

Meanwhile, out on the pitch, the ball is passed to John Lundstram …

[JayGreen17]

When is Mcabe going to accept he can no longer sustain a championship club and release the club from his and his families clutches to enable it to move forward.

 

[chipsncake]

Wilder's dealings in the transfer market over the last 12 months has been abysmal. (Is Mitchell good enough?).

We still need 2 forwards, the ones we have are not good enough. (It was a mistake to give Clarke a new contract).

 

[bromtom]

Or thinking Billy isn't good enough at this level doesn't mean you hate him.

What about last season when he was really rather good at this level though?
