Squeaky Time
 

Certainly it has now become squeaky time for everyone - United now have to win 3 games and draw one, out of seven, a very tall order - assuming the NN don't drop any points.
Stanley need to get as many points as they can and it does look as though they are on a roll and heading for safety.
Liverpool trying desperately to qualify for Europe - the Europa League that is - or is the main aim to get above Everton. Where are the glory days gone when the scousers could be expected to be fighting for the title.
Finally, and it may well be terminal, the Deadwood Gang. Can they get out of the relegation zone or are they dooooomed and going down to the 1st Division and starting on the slippery slope to oblivion - perhaps an even greater humiliation is that Burnley are way above them - perhaps R.I.P. Deadwood
The next few weeks are going to be interesting:D

Barca v Real final will be good

Re: Squeaky Time
 

How good will be the remaining Deadwood games?:p:rolleyes:

Re: Squeaky Time
 

don't know, but they'll probably be better than watching a team only rely on own goals, imagine having to bring in acoustic experts because there's no matchday atmosphere, 75,000 plastic fans watching a plastic team of players bought from other clubs for millions of pounds

Re: Squeaky Time
 

But they are still top of the Premier League whilst your Deadwoods appear to be hell bent on trying to become League 1 champions next season:p:rolleyes:

Re: Squeaky Time
 

Well lets be honest here, Wi the biggest ground in the country, the highest amount of plastics, there odds on to be top or very close, cos thats why all the plastics go yon.:D

Re: Squeaky Time
 

He who spends most wins most and attracts more glory hunters, real fans support their local clubs I'm luck I've got two:D

Re: Squeaky Time
 

Check your facts Jay about who spends the most. It would appear that the Deadwoods don't have many fans according to their gates and the same goes for Stanley.
United have spent years in the wilderness but the support was always there - even when thay went into the 2nd Division they had crowds bigger than most 1st Division clubs and they certainly boosted the attendance at other clubs in the 2nd Division - whereas your teams just get lower and lower gates. Both you and Cashy should be able to see that, or is a trip to Specsavers needed by you both - By the way Jay, which are your two clubs this week?:p:rolleyes::D

Re: Squeaky Time
 

Rovers and Stanley, oh yes and a third anybody that's playing the plastics:thefinger:thefinger:bootyshak

Re: Squeaky Time
 

That's right, Barrie, we have about a thousand diehards, a team of honest journeymen occasionally complemented by a rising star on his way up or a fading star on his way down, a ground comprising cobbled-together sheds and portakabins and life's a constant struggle punctuated by the occasional triumph. Not a patch on your £150,000-a-week superstars, luxury executive stands and frequent title wins. But I'll tell you something - when I stand on the terraces supporting my LOCAL club in the town I grew up in, surrounded by local folk, many of whom I've known most of my life...I wouldn't swap places with you for owt!

Re: Squeaky Time
 

That concept is summat a glory hunter will never grasp.;)

Re: Squeaky Time
 

What happened to your previously declared support of the scousers, did that fade when they fell by the wayside? Start taking the pills again Jay - your memory is fading very quickly. However I must admit I appreciate your support for the opposition teams, I am sure that is the reason why we only need to win 3 more games:rolleyes::)

Re: Squeaky Time
 

Think that's the answer to all plastic trophy hunting fans, It really sickens me when you hear people on Telly asked where they come from and what are their favourite pastimes is football, and they blurt out oh Norwich who do you support Manchester flaming United:mad:

Re: Squeaky Time
 

Get stuff, your a waste of space

Re: Squeaky Time
 

Notice you haven't commented on Wyns post the truth hurts a plastic does it

Re: Squeaky Time
 

Jordan Rhodes.

The reason Man Utd fans are spread far and wide can be laid at the door of Thatcherism. Man Utd fans, not wanting a life on the dole being unable to afford to watch thier heroes, heeded Maggie and Tebbit's advice and got on their bikes to look for work.

Re: Squeaky Time
 

:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38:Getting on their bikes, looking for work, we are talking about Mancs here ya now, they don't work on any day that has a "Y" in its spelling:D

Re: Squeaky Time
 

I left this area within 1 year of completing my apprenticeship - real one, not one of today's apologies, and worked away for some 50 years - why? because I saw that engineering was dying in East Lancashire and within a short time I did find that the grass was greener, and I was never
unemployed.
I did get to watch La Creme at away matches because you could usually get tickets, not like at Old Trafford where it was always a full house.

Have you ever had full houses at Deadwood?:rolleyes::p:D

Re: Squeaky Time
 

Ya but Barrie you've never lived in Manchester, just like the rest of your ilk, I rest my case;)

Re: Squeaky Time
 

The work bit is to be admired, La Creme in opposition to yer home though is to be vomited at.:D

Re: Squeaky Time
 

You put things over a lot better than me Cashy:D

Re: Squeaky Time
 

You just make things easy for him:eek::D

Re: Squeaky Time
 

And were both to clever for Plastic Mancs :p:p:p

Re: Squeaky Time
 

I wonder if jaysay and his plastic Scouser friends could enlighten us as to which team has won the premiership for the 20th time, with four games still to play?

Clue: It's not Blackburn Rovers or Liverpool.

Oh, My lads.
You should've seen us coming,
fastest team in the league,
just to see us running,
all the lads and lasses,
with smiles upon their faces,
walking down the Warwick Road...
To see Matt Busby's Aces"

Re: Squeaky Time
 

Another Plastic Manc,still hardly a shock.:rolleyes:

Re: Squeaky Time
 

tick tock the clocks ticking

Re: Squeaky Time
 

Towards the demise of the Deadwood gang?:eek::p

Re: Squeaky Time
 

Aint gonna happen.:p

Re: Squeaky Time
 

You two just keep on tilting at windmills - haven't figured out yet which one is riding the donkey:thumbsdow:rolleyes:

Re: Squeaky Time
 

Obviously wrote this before the end of last nights game :rolleyes:

Re: Squeaky Time
 

The only Donkey on here is you, oh sorry forgot yerself, both plastic to the core:p

Re: Squeaky Time
 

You have obviously missed your medication again, even more garbled than normal - just keep on challenging the windmills:rolleyes:

Re: Squeaky Time
 

No I'll support my local teams, you know, ones you can actually get on a bus to go and watch, not some overpaid egotistical bunch of trophy mercenaries, supported by a bunch of chumps who have deserted their roots:rolleyes:

Re: Squeaky Time
 

Have you forgotten that you have previously stated that you supported LIverpool?
Perhaps you should get your medication changed:p

Re: Squeaky Time
 

Barrie I support 19 Premier league clubs in turn, depending who they are playing that weekend:rolleyes:

Re: Squeaky Time
 

National express to Liverpool, then the 19/19A to Robson st for Anfield, I believe there's even a designated match bus for home games. ;)

Re: Squeaky Time
 

Jay, as I respect your knowledge and views as to which clubs one should support - i.e. Home Town club. I would really appreciate your views on a somewhat difficult one to work out as to who you think they should support:
1st Son born in Blackburn, but family lived in Church (Rovers or Stanley), 2nd Son born in Sheffield, lived there for 7 months (Wednesday or United), 3rd Son born in Norwich, lived there for 5 years.
As it happens they all inherited brains and support United, one even has a season ticket, another goes to all the games in London and the occasional one at OT (and takes his Dad), and the 3rd one is in the wilds of the West Country;):rolleyes::D

Re: Squeaky Time
 

Think the common denominator there Barrie is the plastic father:rolleyes:;):D

Re: Squeaky Time
 

Didn't realise it took brains to become a Glory Hunter Barrie?:D:rolleyes:

Re: Squeaky Time
 

I've figured out who is the donkey......

Best, Giggs, Keane, Law, Busby, Ferguson, McQueen, Jordan, Macari.... to name but a few.

Can I be the first to greet you in your native tongue......Hee-Haw!

Re: Squeaky Time
 

All teams would then be on a level playing field and teams like United, NN, Scousers and the other top clubs would get the pick of the crop:p

Re: Squeaky Time
 

You said that people should support their "Home Town Team" - will ask it simpler this time.
How do you define "Home Town Team".
If the objective isn't to win, what is the point in taking part?
Surely every team wants to be successful so how do you measure success, is it avoiding relegation or winning trophies?:p:D

Re: Squeaky Time
 

Success at a team like Stanley, who are punching way above there weight, given resources, is Staying in the football league. of course the objective is to win,if yeh can!. Plastics objective is more "Has to win" Theres the difference, Wi a team like Stanley i call it Sport.;)

Re: Squeaky Time
 

Trophies aren't won they're bought Barrie, would Fergie have been so successful at Stanley or Bury, not a snowball in hells chance. There's no doubt that he's a good manager, but without money he's just an also ran, the reason Rovers did well was Kenny and Ray plus Jack Walkers money, and that's the same at any successful club, Chelsea were going nowhere until Abramovich arrived, nor where City before the Arabs came along, anybody who thinks their team can win the Premier League, with just a good manager are living on cloud cuckoo land, as are those who thing they can win it with just loads a money, you have to have both elements to succeed

Re: Squeaky Time
 

End of season blues:( Perhaps SAF decided that he wanted to ensure that Mourinho came back to Chelsea, so tried to ensure they get into the Champions League:rolleyes: or perhaps he just wanted to make sure that as many of his players as possible got their 5 appearances in to qualify for a Premiership Winners Medal;)
All in all a pretty crap game - the only good thing about the day was that the scouse gits didn't beat Everton:p (sorry DinG);)
Your forecasting was pretty good Jay - 1 out of 2 came up for you which is better than your normal standard;):D

Re: Squeaky Time
 

Looks like there could be another captain steering the good ship plastic next season, lets hope they suffer the same fate as they did after Busby retired :D

Re: Squeaky Time
 

Or like the Deadwood gang did after their one shot wonder - and look where they are now - even your pin up boy Shearer blamed the club for not pressing on and strengthening the squad. Deadwood eventually becomes waterlogged and sinks to the bottom of the pond:rolleyes::p
