Re: Once more unto the Bridge dear friends...Chelsea..

This BBC feed is just making me so sad. Acting like Bolton leveling is a miracle on par with Lazarus' resurrection. How times have changed.

Re: It's about time somebody started this thread!

When a player of Falcao's class becomes available for £6 million I guess you have to jump on it, particularly considering van Persie's injury history. Still, the gap in ability between the attack and the midfield/defense is almost comical.

Re: What's going on with Monaco?

Yeah, I sort of figured that they had realized they can't compete with PSG for the title and will settle for a CL spot. Still it's bizarre to see how quickly their ambition came and went.

Re: Gartside Out

According to Gartside (I think, but he's the witch we're burning, so lets run with it) it was Allardyce who suggested Megson to be his successor. I like to think it was his final f*ck off to Gartside, and he's been laughing at him for falling for it ever since. During the second Bush administration...

Re: Gartside Out

I'm mostly interested to hear the exact circumstances of why he left. The thing about the spending of the Megson era is that even players who were successes (Cahill) or relatively successes (Elmander) had their contract situations botched to the point that we didn't get anywhere near the money we sh...

Re: It's about time somebody started this thread!

It's going to be pretty hard to keep Rooney, van Persie, and Falcao happy, although with the latter two injuries are likely. I just don't see how you fit those three plus Mata and Di Maria into the same team. Well, they will have to rotate some players for the Champions Lea...oh, yeah, that's right...

What's going on with Monaco?

For a while it seemed they were trying to become one of the elite European clubs, with a Russian billionaire owner spending huge sums on Joao Moutinho, James Rodriguez, and Falcao. Now Rodriguez and Falcao are gone and they don't seem to have replaced them with players anywhere near that caliber. Ha...

Re: Gartside Out

Not quite HP, he then secured funding for the next 12 years in the Prem, that saw us with top 10 finishes and funded Megson's "splurge" of something approaching 30?m. Am I not right in saying that the spending from 2007/08 to 2010/11 inclusive show the largest upsurge in our debt ? (If it does) the...

Re: Gartside Out

For a while it seemed like he was putting all his efforts into that whole "Premier League 2" scheme. Once that failed I wonder if he just gave up and is happy collecting his six figures. Seems like the only notable thing he ever accomplished in football was appointing Allardyce which, while brillian...

Re: Abdoulaye's going t'Souk transfer thread

Ibe has signed for Derby on loan. Hardly surprising. However, no doubt there are other, equally implausible Jord[o|a]ns for Tricky Al to link us to. Expect stories suggesting we're about to sign Jordan Henderson and young Lancashire all-rounder Jordan Clark. http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2009/0212/pg2...

Re: the glorious "I was wrong" thread

I was excited when we signed Elmander.

I also thought Steinsson was going to become a cult hero.

I thought we'd be OK after Allardyce left.
