I think I just liked his name. Though he did play for SHA, so that's a mark against him obvs. However, he also mostly sucked for them as I recall, so maybe not such a mark against him after all.

ONE WEIRD TRICK TO PISS OFF SPOONY

I surely can't be the only person who would be livid if we didn't sign 'Fred Friday'!

Before, I didn't care if we appointed Steve Bruce. Now I realise Eric Black was formerly his assistant, that immediately puts me off him, as he's not going to do what I want (put Eric Black in a cannon and fire him over the roof of the Trinity Road Stand).

Not over here he isn't!

"Shot" in the net, and you're to blame, Lescott you give football a bad name.

Somebody mentioned Mario Melchiot in another thread.

(I looked this up, I can't pretend I actually knew this) It comes down to the history of linguistics. Once upon a time, there was a language known as PIE (Proto-Indo-European). This language is the ultimate forefather of some Indian and all European languages with the exceptions of Turkish, Hungarian, Finnish and Estonian. From the link: 'PIE language seemingly had a masculing-feminine construct for nouns, where an ‘aa’ sound added to the end of a male noun makes the noun a female. This rule appears to have passed down to almost every language descended from PIE. European names like John and Johann become female when appended with long ‘a’ – Joanna, Johanna. There are very few male names that end with a vowel, though – Nikolai, for example. Even with some of the recently derived Romance languages – Spanish, Italian, Portuguese – female names still typically end with an ‘a’ sound, while male names end with an ‘o’ or ‘i’ sound. (Isabella, Donatella, Teresa, Olga, Sofia, Elena, Natalia; Paolo, Antonio, Leonardo, Diego, Giovanni, Rossini)' Languages that aren't derived from PIE don't have the same pattern, so this rule isn't true of eg. native American languages, east and south east Asian languages, those European languages mentioned above etc.

Why can't your dad hit him himself?

Read 'The Crying Of Lot 49', it's brilliant. A detective story about a secretive postal service.

Well I **** can. And judging by the booing on Saturday (I could hear our own players being booed while I was standing outside the Aston hotel) 'anything for a quiet life' seems like a fairly unlikely source of motivation for these decisions.

Typical of these owners though, they sack managers constantly. Flores has done well to last as long as he has. They're just Cellino with a better Rolodex.

Lee Chang-dong is a very highly rated director.

I started as one of the more optimistic posters on this site, but at this point I have to agree with you. I mean, look at the facts. Our best centre back is currently suspended, accused of refusing to play, while he posts on social media accusing the caretaker manager of lying about him. When you add it on to all the other notable player catastrophes this season, it's clear the club is just a disaster zone.

I agree with both of these posts at the same time.

First in my browser in the morning, last in my browser at night for plymouthherald.co.uk

At some point this season, I'm not sure when, the post-match voting for Man Of The Match was abandoned, so I doubt we have enough data. I suppose we should have realised which way this season was heading when we had to award the trophy to the third-placed finisher last season after numbers one and two were sold in the summer. I hope we reinstate MOTM voting and the trophy next season, and that we have a season worthy of both of those things.

Why did it have to be him refusing to show up to work? If it had been Sinclair, nobody would even have noticed.

edit.

What a sensible Herbert.

. . . and that was just their wives, you should have heard what the fans had to say.

My point is that a bad deal doesn't have to be named TTIP, or negotiated with the US, for it to be a bad deal. In the event of Brexit, we will need to renegotiate trade deals with a large number of countries. The people who will be doing that renegotiating, on our behalf, are the very same people who are enthusiastically ushering in TTIP because it fulfills all their wet dreams.

Nope, that's not it. 'Save Britain from TTIP' is not an option on the ballot paper, nor is 'Save the NHS'. There is no option for saving Britain from TTIP. If you vote REMAIN, you have to hope that the worst of TTIP is curbed in Brussels and/or that the Tories negotiate certain opt-outs. If you vote LEAVE, well then you get a government of Tories (who are totally, to a man woman and child, in favour of TTIP) negotiating trade deals with every developed and developing country on Earth. There's no reason to assume that Boris Johnson's government is going to be any less amenable to lobbying multinational corporations than the current one is, the only difference is we'll be negotiating from a position of considerably less strength.

Doubtless he'll waltz straight back into the first team next week, despite being both financially and professionally worthless.

I keep saying I don't care who he is, but I'd now like to qualify that slightly: I don't care who he is, as long as he sacks Eric Black immediately.
