There ARE other teams(we'd have no-one to play otherwise) and here's where all-comers can discuss the wider world of football......

I suppose it not happening in Bolton explains all of the empty seats?
No it explains the lack of humans about the same size and shape as a cow, from which valid DNA samples could be taken.

As a percentage Oba what's the chances of you coming back with retort that is

a) witty
b) original

I guarantee if you manage one or both you will be made to feel more than welcome on this largely self-deprecating site.

We KNOW we're not very good. What's your excuse?
I thought unoriginality would fit right in here with the rest of the shite patter.

Back to Al Habsi - How much do you think the club would get if you sold him?

Not a lot, he's still fairly unknown and only has a year on his contract to run.

Let's start the other way around. He plays for us at the moment. How much are you offering?

He will he claims to have "found" him. The fact he won Norwegian keeper of the year doesn't seem to click.

Saying that if he's telling all his former clubs there'll be a hell of a bidding war :mrgreen:

Burridge spotted him before he went to Norway apparently, tried getting him to Man City under Keegan but couldn't get a work permit.

Still worth laughing at a bunch of no-mark fans who think Keegan will turn their club around - long-term. Please take Megson - he will transform you.

More from the messiah. For once, I hope he's right; at least this weekend:

Oops. :oops: Edited.

Allardyce's training session.

What happened to one on one coaching? Perhaps this is the reason some of the non English speaking players looked lost under him but much better under a better man manager in Keegan.

You can't judge his training methods on 90 seconds of video though. And at least he's playing 4-4-2 with aggressive wingers by the sound of it.

But yeah, you can imagine them thinking, "what the feck.." during those instructions.

Hmmm.

Maybe he does more than repeat 2 minutes worth of exercises ad infinitum until they all dissapear down the keyside for a few bevvies?

Its just a thought, like.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

He's addressing the entire team/squad. How would you get any training in if he had to repeat himself 20+odd times in cozy chats?
I can just imagine your man Keggy Keedle, "Give it him because he's got a good engine on him, and sometimes you have to take one step back to have too many cooks in your broth". Not even the English players will understand that metaphor-mixing gobshite. :roll:
