Stevo985 Posted May 4, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) See, I've got no idea what that quote means.I think he means instead of watching us win the FA cup, he's going to avoid it by taking a train journey towards Bournemouth. Whose football team he expects to bid for Benteke. Which either shows that he's never watched Benteke play or, the more likely option, he's a **** inbred moron.

Especially the bit about the train being a vintage steam type? A very strange people the bluenoses, odd that they've not evolved at the same rate as the rest of mankind. I do also like that it claims to be the most popular fan site for their lot and yet the most popular thread has 20 posts. Bless the 20 who have learned to use a computer. **** shit word removed rocket polishers. **** off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 4, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted May 4, 2015 To be fair that'd because, much like ready to go, there's almost no moderation on that forum. They start new topics for the same thing over and over. It's unreadable shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullshit, he will sit there in his Arsenal shirt and recording it hoping Arsenal win so he can watch it time and time again masturbating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnbull Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 When I worked at GEC Alsthom, a bunch of Noses painted an 8 ft high Man U badge with a good luck message to the Mancs underneath for the 94 LC final. It must have taken an age to paint when they should have been working, but some of the gaffers were saddo Blues fans too. It didn't take long for it to disappear on Monday morning. #obsessed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I nearly pissed myself reading this.There are always plenty of tales about the one that got away in football. In Blues’ case, there have been perhaps more than usual in recent times. As the club became increasingly ambitious under the regime of THE Sullivan-Golds, they targeted a more up-market player. Diego Maradona? I’ve never been convinced of that one, though. I remember his agent knowing nothing of Blues’ interest when he was at Sevilla. Jean-Pierre Papin? Yes. I spoke to him directly and he admitted a move to Blues was a possibility. Steve Bruce spent hours in talks trying to convince Craig Bellamy to join. Barry Fry even went for Sweden’s hot property of the time Kennet Andersson. Further on, he got Dan Sahlin. More recently, we’ve had deals in place or lined up for Roman Pavlyuchenko, Moussa Dembele, Fabrizio Miccoli, Cacau. And who could forget the Charles N’Zogbia saga? Then there’s Robert Lewandowski. Yes, him. The man of the moment. Dortmund’s four-goal destroyer of Real Madrid in Wednesday’s Champions League semi-final, first leg. In the summer of 2009, when Alex McLeish was preparing for Blues’ Premier League return, the Lech Poznan forward, 20, was on the agenda. Blues were a way down the line with another striker at the time, Christian Benitez. The Ecuador star was a £9 million target from Mexican side Santos Laguna. Due to a knee problem, Blues revised the deal and got him on loan. Chucho only scored four times in 2009-10, but was integral in helping the side to their highest league finish in 51 years. Yet it was the following summer when Blues really cranked up their interest in Lewandowski. Paul Montgomery, then Blues’ chief scout, recalled: “I watched the lad on numerous occasions and Alex liked him a lot as well. “That summer, when Chucho came in, we felt he was too young and he wasn’t the player he is now. “What happened was, after we finished ninth, our priority was for somebody central, who could take and receive the ball with their back to goal. “Dembele was the one. We had it all agreed at four million euros but things dragged on and in the end he went to Fulham. “We spoke to Lewandowski’s people and he wanted to come to England. But it was about priorities, and finance. “When he played back then all his best work was in the channels. He wasn’t like a central guy. He went into the wide areas. “Then the big man Nikola Zigic was signed by us and the requirements changed again. “Lewandowski moved to Germany, where he was used sparingly in his first season.” Lewandowski joined Borussia Dortmund for £4 million in June 2010. He has scored 53 goals in 94 appearances for them, 17 in 53 for Poland, and is Europe’s most wanted. Manchester United and Bayern Munich are keen. “It’s just one of those things,” said Montgomery, who had targeted Michu, Massadio Haidara and Douglas for Villa before his exit as head of scouting when Paul Lambert replaced McLeish. “Lewandowski has obviously got better and better. It was just the circumstances at the time. “Dembele was the one we felt would have made a difference for Birmingham, and we even told the board that he would be worth double figures – and that’s what Fulham got for him from Tottenham http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/colin-tattum-looks-back-time-3156461 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Blackburn nearly signed Lewendowski around that time aswell. it's a bit like the equivilant of us not actually signing someone liek Helenius and then he went on to be amazing elsewhere, you never know how players will develop.

villa4europe Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Watching the FM documentary I'm sure mcleish said his son is a huge fan of the game, ginger bollocks tried to get messi on loan at rangers and got a straight no but he came very very close to getting iniesta Football is full of stories of near misses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Wasn't Big Ron on the verge of selling them Dwight Yorke, in a deal to bring Jose Dominguez the other way? I shudder to think what might have happened, if that one had gone through! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 The thing is though if Blues has signed Lewondowski, he would have been complete shit. Mcleish would have ruined him. It's a catch 22. He wouldn't have fired them to glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
