  1. Had a strange day. Wanted Blackburn England to win. Although the Italians were VERY pretty!
  2. Ah, but he did make the shirt look even prettier!!!
  3. BUt at least he looked good in those lycra shorts!!!!
  4. But was there actually any potential to start with? Remember we bought him based on his agent's compilation of goals and it wouldn't surprise me if a few of them weren't scored with his back to the camera! (Or when he was at school)
  5. He was mostly a sensible boy- getting on a moped in Rome excepted. He's made a good living from his time in football, I suspect and he had a good enough brain to get qualifications and a decent career after football (as long as the accident didn't affect it). I wish him nothing but well.
  6. He's a school playground player. In fact I don't think he's a player at all now. Hopefully he's been sensible and is getting on with the rest of his life- the life after football. Good luck to him And he wouldn't keep ME out of the Ipswich team
  7. No He wouldn't be our best right back- that was Emo when Lucas was here. He wouldn't be our best left back, that's Warnock and he wouldn't be one of our best centre backs- those are well every one that we have is better than him. So why waste the cash?
  8. There's a requirement for them to do so after matches. Sir Alex doesn't because he's boycotting the BBC (or at least 5 live). Mourinho hasn't a couple of time, and Wenger, but I think all the rest always have.
  9. Not if you drip feed the press with stories about how fat and unfit he is, and how unprofessional. Give him time off from training and make sure that EVERY time he's out, even for a meal, someone from the paparazzi is there capturing the so-called bad behaviour. Eventually he'll be seen as trouble, and neither the fans nor the press will care if he is left out.
  10. Bizarre- one minute it's 3-1 with a goal from McEveley and the next it's 2-2. I give up on the BBC Oh and you're right about wee Shauny!
  11. Just to make matters marginally more amusing, Jay McEveley has just scored for Scotland's B team!
  12. Not being English I couldn't really give a stuff, but isn't the whole point of the game to score more goals than the opposition. Therefore wouldn't having someone who can actually do that be better than having some useless duffer who can't?
  13. Guess he was that desperate to move North (and that confident we'd come in). Remember they probably threatened him with taking up the 2 year option so he'd still cost money for any buyer and be stuck in the hell-hole that is Birmingham until he was 29, with the risk that no-one would pay the money.
  14. I heard that while at Notlob, Dunny tried every avoiding tactic in the book to avoid signing. He had the pen in hand, and decided he had to go to the loo. Then he had to phone his advisors, basically anything to avoid signing. He was sitting in Notlob training gear when the call came through from Rovers and apparently he sprinted out of there still wearing the kit got into his car and arrived at Rovers in said disarray. Wonder if he gave them back eventually??
  15. Wigan's move was made 5 hours before the deadline, I suspect. We said no. Simple as. At least that's how I read it!
  16. Don't think he's in a huff or anything- he was there for the entire game today.
  17. I agree. Tugay's a bit old for this many games, but with Mokoena being absolute toss he kind of has to play. I liked Dunny's Radio Rovers interview when he said that Mark Hughes had told him to "go on and get us playing". I also loved the way that he (along with Ryan) was trying to gee up the rest of the lacklustre team (David Bently excluded- he was tremendous)
  18. Yes, but if you exclude sales of players he DIDN'T buy- ie Duff and Dunn- he spent a fortune. I remember Grabbi, Andy Cole and Ferguson. Each in excess of £6m. How much EXACTLY did we recoup on them? I think you''ll find that sales of Sourpuss bought players in total haven't amounted to a molehill of beans And I remember that Peacock had been jettisoned by Tony Parkes, and Sourpuss actually brought him back into the team "because he'd heard of him".
  19. You do if you have decent legacy players and an unlimited budget. When the money runs out and your own buys rule the roost with YOUR training methods, that's when it goes horribly wrong.
  20. Well he certainly shouldn't have shown him his Scotland performances from that time- f*ing waster. Bloody good reason why he got 50 caps to Kenny's 100.
  21. It's mainly made up of two types. People who are hugely jealous because Dunny is a local boy made good, which shows up the worthlessness of their own lives (or their girlfriends have left them to try to get off with Dunny), or the "he's left me and I'll never get over it" (about Souness) types. The latter hate Dunn because he had the temerity to argue with their beloved. They're sad, I agree.
  22. I go out for one lunch and we get all sorts of silly children making daft points. Point 1 Todd is an infinitely better passer of the ball than all of our other central defenders. That is why Todd and Nelsen are the best combination we have. Nelsen tackles cleanly, Todd passes safely. It's when they try it the other way round that everything goes horribly wrong. Point 2 Todd spat the dummy twice. Oh yes? where's your evidence for that? Souness? The man was a liar and couldn't be trusted if he said that it was usually dark in Blackburn at midnight. Even if Todd did, on both occasions he was right. Anyone who would think of claiming Amauseless was in any way better than Todd and should have come into the team on his return from injury should make themselves known and we'll send round the men in white coats. And if, as some surmised, he was a bit peed off at Ooijer coming in for him, well, the god-like man that is Mark Hughes has even admitted that was wrong, and that Ooijer should have been given time to adjust. Then he might not have given away the THREE justifiable penalties he has given away this season. (rather than the one completely bogus penalty which Todd gave away). The trouble is that people get silly ideas in their head, and even when they are proven to be garbage, still believe it. I'm sure there are still morons out there that believe that Sergio Peter stormed off after one game when he wasn't named on the bench. Unfortunately I saw him leaving the ground that evening WELL after the end of the game, with his entire family in tow. People believe what they want to believe- this is especially true amongs the perennially stupid who cannot see when they're being taken for a ride. "Emperor's new clothes" anyone?
  23. Most of the people I work with seem to be Hammers fans. I told them: about how he only plays really well in the year coming up to his contract negotiations; about how he'll increase their yellow and red card cound immeasurably; about the three penalties he's given away this season already; about his plans to go back to Oz as soon as he's accumuated enough money to buy a team there- probably at the end of this contract. They were absolutely delighted with their new signing (NOT). I guess they'll be even happier now. I liked Lucas- he was very pretty and Warnock just, well, isn't, but I've never been under any illusions that he is more than a player who can have great moments but absolutely awful weeks.
  24. Both the players quoted above, however, have been physically fit all season, and match fit as they(Warnock at least) have been having reserve run outs when not on first team duty. They also haven't had to contend with Souness-esque training methods which are guaranteed to make lumps of lard out of previously healthy specimens. (Certain ex-players have been as complimentary about Bruce's methods as everyone was about Souness') Hughes is, as he's saying, keeping Dunn at home, building him up to the level of fitness that you would expect from a Premiership player not doing "old-style" training. We didn't need him today, and Hughes (being clever) knew that. All those on Dunny's side would rather that when he came back he was 100% and ready for the rest of the season. Anything less and we might lose him- and make no mistake- if he gets to the 100% that Hughes obviously sees him to be we have a much better talent on our hands than most other teams have. Hughes, an honest, decent and truthful man, says that Dunn may be involved at Sheffield United. I personally hope he is, but only if he's ready.
