Squeaky Time

[Guinness]

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

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

We should heighten Hadrian's Wall, dig Offa's Dyke deeper and fortify our West coast. About time we got rid of these leeches of the English economy.
Let them survive on their own - and export all the natives of those countries back to where they originate from

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!

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

Think the common denominator there Barrie is the plastic father

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?

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.

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

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 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 (sorry DinG)
Your forecasting was pretty good Jay - 1 out of 2 came up for you which is better than your normal standard

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

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
