Big Bad Bob

you could say that any deal is a Black Country Mile away!! I'll give up now

Laying it on a bit thick there but in essence correct! TBH it probably was done with about 50% of spite because of LM's role (had it been purely LC I think it might have been somewhat different). The rest because of 'the plan'. the last 2-3 years have all been a **** measuring competition to be honest, and I am getting fed up of it.

Wes, I have an issue with the statement above. I don't think the loans bought in were purely down to Pearson. I strongly believe, with no empirical evidence whatsoever (have I said this before?), that LM and his son had more to do with the loans we got than NP. I'm going to go further and say the NP was bought in to motivate the team and get them playing whilst LM acted in a DoF role, using his son's "skills"!!

Dang, sussed, I'm a planters

Food gag, c'mon on get with the program!!

I increased my low post count by verbally abusing anything and evrything............Saint Richmond says...........now I have............a high post count..............so I must be for real!! P.S. I have it on good authority that the bloke from ATS Euromaster, the one that does the wheel changes, is taking us over tomorrow!! personally I think he's just a tyre kicker!!

Jack Walker did not 'invest' in Blackburn, he chucked money at the club to get it some glory days as it was his boyhood club. And what exactly have Blackburn done since they fluked the P/L?? Loew was once quoted as saying £25M and it's yours, not a lot of money for investors to be sure. Did anyone jump on this?? Did they ****

Oh of course, investors were knocking on every single P/L leagues clubs doors then weren't then, just throwing money around asking to invest in a team. Get real, before Abromovich and the Sky TV money football clubs very seldom changed hands, no-one was interested as they knew they were blackholes for money.

Actually i don't know. I thought the league regs meant that you can't recall a player during his initial loan spell, but if you extend it you can!! I can't find anything on t'web to say one way or the other!! ah, here we go (from http://www.football-league.co.uk/staticFiles/78/3/0,,10794~888,00.pdf)

We can't. He's on a season long loan!!

Ah, just like he WAS going to sell Surman and Lallana in january!! I would suggest your Crystal Ball needs some fine tuning! Actually that's ******, the chances are that a few will go out on loan, just not the ones you are alluding to!!

I thought he was a multi-function Printer salesman??

Did you read the article before commenting, or just comment on what you read here... Here's the link JIC http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/articles/article.php?page_id=11332

The one and only time I have been to Vicarage Road too. Rest assured I will never, ever go there again!!

And you lot call the OS Pravda, I bet you didn't get down to this bit did ya?? Seems like he's praising the fans to me! But then, what do I know

we will get 45 points

**** me, a post of Apline's that I can agree with!!

Nick, how do you manage to get all this information in Tampa?? As for Rudi, lets hope he and MW pulls his finger out of his arse and gets him playing as we are led to believe he can!!

It's not Manyoo, it Harry trying to get Keane back at the Spuds for £15m....cash!!

So why quote 606 and then get upset by it.....FWIW 606 is about as reliable as a 10 year old Alfa Romeo

Only applies to Premier League clubs though http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/7865432.stm

Lady in cyan top : Feck me Rupert that was funny, I've just split my sides laughing!! OR Girl on right : look into my eyes, not around my eyes, into my eyes...YOU WILL STEP DOWN RL : Your puny Jedi mind tricks will not work on me, anyway I closed my eyes

Maybe they had wind of promising youngsters leaving for big clubs OR a KK type signing OR a takover :smt022

Chortle chortle

I'd prefer a mid-week game, we don't win at home on Saturday!!
