Abdoulaye's going t'Souk transfer thread

[bobo the clown]

Well it's not .... but it doesn't matter anyway as he's not being loaned out.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

sources in his native Netherlands believe he will remain at Stamford Bridge and part of the first-team picture [...]
But it is believed there are no plans for Ake to leave on loan at present.

[jaffka]

I hope it's not Purple Aki?

ever met him?

[a1]

this

coyle and 17 million, though... maybe its a good thing that cahill went to chelsea

i wonder how many greg wylde sized contracts that is...

i'm guessing three.

[Lord Kangana]

Probably only half Greg Wylde's contract value. Maybe 1/3rd. Rather than 3.

He is that very odd bloke from Liverpool who likes touching boys isn't he.

Don't worry Dan, you can find him in Bolton too.

[danhorwich]

And Manc as well from what I have heard.

[jaffka]

He would like you dan.

Growing up in Toxteth does strange things to people.

Please don't even think about calling Toxteth a sh*thole, Dan.

If He did, he wouldn't be wrong on this occasion.

That's true.

[bobo the clown]

Toxteth is a good place ...... it's the people who make it a cess-pit.

Nowt wrong with Liverpool that a neutron bomb wouldn't sort out.

You ever been to Toxteth Dan? When it was really bad there (and yes, I've been) Kirby, Norris Green, even parts of Bootle, were all bad areas around then. Just wondering what you know about growing up there? It's a genuine question.

[danhorwich]

I have been to Toxteth Tango and it has had a lot of money put into it, however when this lad was growing up it was regarded as one of the worst areas in Britain where 100s of youths took to the street looking to cause serious harm to police officers and it is an area that has produced probably more criminals than any other(I can think of 2 others). I have also been to Kirby, Norris Green and Croxteth and can confirm that they are sh*t. Could go also talk about some of the areas of Bottle and Birkendead. I will always remember this estate known to the locals as "the boot estate" in Norris Green which was really sh** probably on a par with Wythenshawe and Moss Side in Manc

[boltonboris]

Again, I doubt you've even been to Wythenshawe.

I was seeing a girl from Toxteth in the mid '80's. The area was still recovering from the riots and one of the worst recessions since the '30's but I'm sorry to have to report that I found it to be a fantastically vibrant place full of funny, lively, happy people who, once you knew them, would give you the shirt off their back.

You'd have to count your fingers after you shook hands with them, but lovely people.

Anyone who has spent more than 5 minutes passing through an area would know that the British people, on the whole, are tolerant, hard-working, law abiding people. As, in fact, are most of the immigrants in our towns and cities.

What builds up the perception of a 'shithole' are people who don't bother to scratch the surface, preferring to make sweeping generalisations about whole communities having spent very little there and believing what the 'popular' press report as factual facty fact.

Then there are some places that appear fantastic to the casual observer but are, in fact, cesspits of bigotry, racism and general 'chavviness'. Horwich is one of them.
