To be honest, I don't think that Gus's all or nothing kind of attitude is necessarily a good thing all the time. He has been right in everything he has done with regards to contracts so far, however with a player of Calderon's caliber, you occasionally have to make an exception.
John Byrne made the point that he is ONLY a full back and can be replaced. I would go with that although we cannot underestimate what a good player he is. Once Hoyte was forced to play due to his injury, despite being an Arsenal player he seemed nowhere near the quality of Inigo.
Now it seems he may be club less with Pardew supposedly (hopefully) getting the sack today. Would you have the Spanish FLAIR minister back at the club? or Will YOU boo him if he manages to get a new team in League One next year?
I personally think he would have signed anyway, especially if he...
MUST be, unless they go for an appointment ala Cameron/Clegg who were both in political obscurity when they were asked to lead their respective parties.
Released in 50 countries ... :laugh:
Great Idea there, I can see the people of Uganda, Kazakhstan and Vietnam literally cawing at the highly inflated record shops to purchase a copy with Simon Grayson's big f***ing smug face on it.
I think me and Dave the Gaffer have more chance of cracking...
Due to my days on Football Manager, I can confirm Poyet has got it wrong as stated above.
> You cannot sign players on a pre-contract agreement domestically, you have to wait for it to expire.
> If the player does not leave the club in the set time you have to then pay a substantial...
Southampton/Charlton were simply unbeatable matches, perhaps even more enjoyable than Aston Villa. Look at it this way, if you had have told me in the grim 06/07 season that we would be playing Leeds,Norwich,Southampton,Charlton and Aston Villa in one season I would have been pretty amazed.
Well if that doesn't smack of desperation I don't know what does. He says he was looking for a project and this was very rare! Err yeah, you are now manager of Gabala FC MR Adams and I feel the odds of me ever finding this place are seriously slim.
He has quite obviously gone for the money, as...
Looks like a bit of a laugh to me, anyway change is upon us and despite not being a supporter of the Conservatives, along with the Lib Dems, I feel we have a bright future ahead of us.
About 34 or 35 games home and away of course. I attended all of our home/cup games. Shamefully the furthest I got was Aston Villa this season so I have sworn that I will attend either one of Carlisle/Hartlepool next season...
Nothing to play for today yet hopefully we can emulate the success of last seasons home game against this lot.
The "GUS BUS" is heading in the right direction and this time next year who knows, we may be promoted, playing are LAST game at Withdean and all have our season tickets bought for...
Absolutely fantastic, stupendous signing. This is a player of the highest caliber who, if not for a serious injury, would be starting regularly for a top championship team. To think we couldn't afford Matt Richards wages and remember how good we all thought Jimmy Mac was?
Now let's get...
I contemplated food two hours ago and have since succumbed to 6 pancakes which has given me the inevitable sugar rush that will soon send me to sleep until the next millennium. Moral of the story= eat something but not 6 pancakes.
Anyway still wishing for any outcome apart from a Conservative...
The fact you have to EARN the CATS respect is a bit of an annoyance considering you have to pay for it, it's food e.t.c
The thing is they only do things for themselves where as a dog will try to please you. Saying that I would rather have the cat as it keeps the mice away and apart from it's...
Eric Pickles, Margaret Beckett, Lembet Opik (spelling), Lord Mandelson? maybe, but he is good entertaiment and none other than David Miliband did say, "The Lord Mandelson works in mysterious ways" :laugh:
