Next league games,

Newcastle

Everton

Man Utd

Arsenal

Blackpool

Villa

Man Utd

You could easily see them lose 5 out of 7 of those.

You couldn't see them actually winning more than 1 at most

Anyway,

The real thing is back in January, ticket applications at "The Applause Store"

I do find it amazing that "The bestest, classiest, most exciting football team in the World with the REAL SPECIAL ONE (both manager and left winger)" have the same number of points this season as "seriously undeperforming" Aston Villa, Hmmmmmmmm

And as an aside for thos who've read this tgread for a while something you couldn't make up.

Twitter asked if I'd like to follow Glastonspur - really and truly, amazing

Charges - surely the comments were a personal matter and nothing to do with football and anyway were made offshore so it's no business of the uK authorities.

Then again if he's not doing interviews how can he claim his innocence

Do the boobs still exist if John Carew isn't there to pay attention to them?

On behalf of the overworked BOF I can answer this

Yes, regrettably Birmingham City have been in existence for some time

Bannan joked: "I thought with fresh legs I could have got up there above him!

And some fans say we lack ambition.

Goan yersell son (translation for our English readers, Well played young man )

Urban myth. Barker did do a spoonerism routine, but not that one.

Fair enough Mike, I suspected so but still enjoyed reading it with the image of a straight faced Barker in my head

Finally got a job (offer) today.

Congrats mate

hope it works out

I'm just finishing week 11 of a new job after 9 months unemployed so understand your pain

No idea if the claim to broadcast is true but i found it funny as hell anyway and can imagine Ronnie Barker reciting it with a straight face

Subject: FW: Ronnie Barker Genius]

If If you can read this without laughing, you must be devoid of laughter cells......

This was originally shown on BBC TV back in the 70's. Ronnie Barker could say all this without a snigger, though God knows after how many takes.

The irony is, BBC received not one complaint.

The speed of delivery must have been too much

for the whining herds. Try getting through it without converting the spoonerisms [and not wetting your pants] as you read.......

This is the story of Rindercella and her sugly isters.

Rindercella and her sugly isters lived in a marge lansion. Rindercella worked very hard frubbing sloors, emptying poss pits, and shivelling shot.

At the end of the day, she was knucking fackered. The sugly isters were right bugly astards. One was called Mary Hinge, and the other was called Betty

Swallocks; they were really forrible huckers;they had fetty sweet and fatty swannies.

The sugly isters had tickets to go to the ball, but the cotton runts would not let Rindercella go.

Suddenly there was a bucking fang, and her gairy fodmother appeared. Her name was Shairy Hithole and she was a light rucking fesbian. She turned a

pumpkin and six mite wice into a hucking cuge farriage with six dandy ronkeys who had buge hollocks and digbicks.. The gairy fodmother told

Rindercella to be back by dimnlight otherwise, there would be a cucking falamity.

At the ball, Rindercella was dancing with the prandsome hince when suddenly the clock struck twelve. "Mist all chucking frighty!!!" said Rindercella, and

she ran out tripping barse over ollocks,so dropping her slass glipper.

The very next day, the prandsome hince knocked on Rindercella's door and the sugly isters let him in.. Suddenly, Betty Swallocks lifted her leg and let

off a fig bart. "Who's fust jarted?" asked the prandsome hince. "Blame that fugly ucker over there!!" said Mary Hinge.

When the stinking brown cloud had lifted, he tried the slass glipper on both the sugly isters without success and their feet stucking funk.

Betty Swallocks was ducking fisgusted and gave the prandsome hince a knack in the kickers. This was not difficult as he had bucking fuge halls and

a hig bard on. He tried the slass glipper on Rindercella and it fitted pucking ferfectly.

Rindercella and the prandsome hince were married. The pransome hince lived his life in lucking fuxury, and Rindercella lived hers with a follen swanny!

They keep hitting that ball to the far post, dont they? Deep cross in, Crouch heads back, Van Der Vaart scores from inside the six yard box.

Okay, Howard flapped at the cross today, but they scored both of their goals against us with the same move. I wonder how many more times they will score from it this season?

Thanks Rev,

I had always wondered what "playing the Spurs way" was when they complained about a hundred and eleventy twelve mangers not playing it, you seem to have summed it up nicely

“I feel very let down by Tottenham,” Sullivan revealed. "The way they do business is not right.

Pot, Kettle and Black anyone

As for Ciaran Clark, it's up to the lad and whatever he decided good luck to him. I was surprised to see both his parents are Irish (father Scottish born

No question then he's a Jock and my e-mail has been sent off to the SFA notifying them of this, we need as many good players as we can get

Yep Mike, saw a chunk of it, they won easily.

Mind you you'd never guess they were "Art" students from their dress code :winkold:

It was said on SSN that Everton are in talks with 3 different buyers for the club, I wonder if one of them is the Chinese guy who was going to buy Liverpool.

It'd completely crack me up if one of the Plop "Bidders" decided, enough, and bought Everton.

I'd spend some serious fun time reading RAWK for that

He was about to post last night then saw we equalized and went onto win the game.

Bloody history has a habit of changing suddenly like that.

Non Champions League Games lost on Tuesdays do not count. Similarly Non Champions League Games won on Wednesdays do not count. All European Cup Games prior to Champions League do not count

It's part of the make up of the universe and cannot be argued with.

Edited for accuracy

Watched him against Bolton, made some very good runs and appeared to be getting in to the game just as he was subbed.

Given a bit of time he and his teamates will gain understanding of each other and we will reap the benefits

Where's the "don't give a shit" option on the Poll

Tottenham are the bestest team ever in the world, bar none!

Villadude, you forgot to mention

They have more money than the Blue Mancs

The have the betsest, most honest and trustworthy manager imaginable

They have the most impressive history in football dating back to 1526 BC which is 2 days before the world began so anything before then is impossible

Oh and just too many other things to mention

-Our average PL finish is 6th

-The last three seasons we've finished 6th

So, yes I would say he's underselling us by saying (7th-12th). I actually find it a bit worrying tbh.

Lets not let the actual facts get in the way of a good moan eh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No way Harry'll take the England job once he finds out he can't earn commission from transfers

"But, above all, it's a historic club which has won the European Cup. It's a club which has got good infrastructure and a fine team which is after one thing – to improve year on year."

Now actually read the last bit of that - improve year on year - that is what he wants to do. No mention of accepting 12-7th as being that's it no higher or lower.

I can't help but notice that none of the "fickle whingers" (copyright DOL) has bothered to even comment on this part of the interview.

Perchance because it doesn't suit the negativity prevalent these days.

FFS he's the Villa manager and as such deserves better than the bollox being propounded here

No doubt it'll come up at todays press conference, we'll see

I can understand why some may be disappointed.

O'Neill was the one 'Name' at the club. He didn't buy 'big name' players, he was the focal point of the team. When he left, there was no one there to really look up to. O'Neill also, still to this day, has a good reputation with the press to a point where it seems that he can't do wrong. We were never going to get such a name - what we may find Houllier doing, is bringing in players with this standing, once he's flogged the crap in our squad, which is better for the team.

He's not been out of football. He's been out of England, but that'd not out of football. Sure, the French team isn't doing so well at the moment.

Players will want to come and play for him though. Good players. Houllier has worked in enough big clubs to know how a club needs to be set up, and I'm sure he'll work at bringing in a structure to the club to allow us to grow and be a bigger club.

I'm also pretty excited to read about the fellow he's bringing with him. Those two, together, won things at Lyon, and it was when they were together that Houllier managed the greater successes at Liverpool. These people are no mugs. They win things.

The chances of signing players not restricted to the Premier League, winning games in March, going into seasons prepared and not leaving signings until the last minute. If we manage to get into Europe whilst he's here, he may take it seriously.

Of course, Houllier might do the same. He may not manage to do some of the things we took for granted at being done well by O'Neill. But it's the excitement that the major gripes of MON's reign for me, could be sorted by Houllier.

I'm not one for telling people to back the club, back x, back y, 'great post' just because it agrees with your personal thoughts, but it'll take a few weeks for him to get to grips with the team and get his philosphy on the pitch. It's fairly obvious that we enquired about Moyes, Jol etc, and as expected at this time of year, they would have told us, as honest men with integrity, that they would have to stay at their clubs. Houllier gives us experience, knowledge and the ability to add something we don't currently have at the club.

I'm looking forward to it.

Well written and well said, and to think I once castigated you for your opinion I have now found myself agreeing with you on more than one occasion, lets hope we're both right about this

Guys

I'm aftraid

"Villa fans like Houllier"

isn't a story for the UK tabloids, they need controversy

Do we know when the press conference is today, I may sneak off and watch it(benefit of working from home )
