It was so much easier on my head and heart when I had a much more carefree attitude about our Blue world.

Get up on match day, meet the lads, have a beer, goto the game and shout my damned fool head off giving abuse to whoever we were playing. Even singing Monty Python Bright Side of Life if we wer losing.

But now I think about how shit our board is, WTF we don't have a DOF, why do we keep beng made scapegoats over shit that everyone else does etc etc etc

It gets harder instead of easier.

A lack of a proper DoF is unforgivable at this level. It shows rank amateurism at board level. The entire team and organisation are suffering from an absence of a whip hand on the reins. Marina has proven she is not capable of running a top 10 football team by herself (tbh at all) in terms of player overall recruitment/management.

And they lack any real football knowledge. Thats why we get inferior players for positions.

I reckon a manager has gone to the board with his recommendation, they might inquire, see the prices they will ask for and then set about getting a cheaper version.

They buy someome that plays in that position thats  alot cheaper so they in their infinite wisdom think they have done a great job. All patting each others back. And all they are doing is chopping down other teams dead wood.

I dont understand once they realize a player just hasn't worked out they dont sell him. OK we might lose out cause they probably paid a bit too much for them in the 1st place. But its better than sitting back just paying his wages.

They need to stop shopping for the most expensive items at John Lewis or House of Fraser or (god forbid) Marks & Sparks (where Papy Djilobodji came from!) and step the fuck up to Harvey Nichols, Browns, and Harrods.

But theres times I get really good stuff from guys down the pub too!

And these posh shops can get away with selling dodgy knockoffs because nobody expects them to have hokey gear.

Saying that I just paid £510 for a old 45 from the biggest dealer in England only to look at it and realize its a bootleg!! Grrrr Grrrr

Think it seems madder now because there is so much info -mostly online. My mates tend to ignore most of it and am starting to do the same

Ive known the guy since the 70s so it just took a phone call. He kinda is the price guide for rare soul. He buys peeps collections - gives about 1/4 face value!! I used to sit in the pub in Leicester down the road from his sjop. See a guy with boxes of records and tell him Id offer him more than he offered! It worked quite well lol I was speeding one night and we were chatting and I told him what I had done a few times. He wasn't chuffed lol But its a buyers market and hes a rich,tight cunt!

 

Mate I try every season to not get into the deep stuff. The politics, the transfers etc. But it drags me back in. But it happens I suppose when you're passionate about something.

There is no need for it in the first place! Plus if ain't careful wouldn't surprise me if bans are in place effecting others as well. Uefa are investigating which worst case could have a part ban... If they decide to go ahead which may do as a example. Shame actions of a few idiots will effect many. If ends up that way. 

How stupid are people that with the whole incident with Sterling to then carry on. Q

Like he says they can piss off. Don't drag everyone and the club down.. Again..

Hope it tasted better the 2nd time mate!

Answering on from the conversation on the Pogba thread about Emenalo

 

11D may very well be right in everything he said other than that he seems not to have understood the very narrow point I have been making.

I said he may be right, but in fact I think he is overly critical of ME. I think he simplifies the areas of responsibilities and seems to me to blame ME for everything he, 11D, did not agree with. I don't believe we fans have enough information to be so definitive in apportioning blame. The same goes for the criticism people now level at Marina. They have not the first clue what her real responsibilities and parameters are, yet they comment as if they know all of that, and have read her brief from the board and the owner as well. Whether what I say in this paragraph is right or wrong, it has nothing to do with the original point.

I'll take your advice here and post anything else I want to say on ME/MG in the right thread.

I have to admit I was really down on Emenalo and put him down as the biggest problem we had in the transfer market.

I thought he was more interested in promoting ME and being the center of attention,steering it onto him and away from the manager.

But then he buggered orft and we was still shite in the transfer market I realized it went far deeper than him.

I think I would prefer to go into the transfer market and get a DOF right now and swap aut Granny.,

Are we looking for shoes for Unionjack? 

His stuff is a bit old now, and it's been done to death, but I think some Jeremy Scott Adidas are right up his alley
