Dalek2003 Posted 3 July, 2012 Posted 3 July, 2012 You're right. I mean, when Jan Poortvliet took over, we were told we'd play Total Football and get a play-off spot. Okay we got relegated, but he said it didn't he? When Rupert Lowe said we should be challenging for the Champions League, how good was that? Okay we got relegated, but he said it didn't he? Oh and what about when we wouldn't sell Theo Walcott and Rupert Lowe was just inspecting Arsenal's training facilities, okay we sold him, but he said we wouldn't sell didn't he? LOL ! Post of the month !
Turkish Posted 3 July, 2012 Posted 3 July, 2012 (edited) OK just for you. Google Maps. Enter your postcode. Then go to get directions (Driving) to somewhere exotic or obscure such as Mumbai. It is a ridiculous and long journey and will calculate to take bleedin' ages. However Google Maps will divide it down into a zillion pieces. Each road junction/turning etc. If you get to one junction successfully you have to then get to the next. All sorts of weird sh1t can happen on the road, car wrecks, breakdowns, credit card running out. Thing is if you just read the 2,000 pages of directions once on your home computer you'd get hopelessly lost before you got to Dover AND you would look INCREDIBLY stupid stopping at theM25 services and asking for directions to Mumbai. But NC was "clever", (or IMHO believes he was clever)he bought a GPS. All it is about now is whether he has enough spare batteries and whether he actually managed to download all the maps he will need. Being daft enough to think you could do the drive and buying the GPS still doesn't mean you would actually complete the journey. Also, understanding that he has a GPS and wants to make the journey doesn't stop me from thinking why bother? Thing is HE thinks it can be done and so his decisions (eg flog Luke Shaw for a quick 4mil or not) will be based on what he thinks he needs to make the journey. HOPEFULLY it means we WILL start to retain our best players ass we get to each junction. Time for a lie down Clever. I like it. Do you think that's what he told Buttner when asked how he planned to be up there with man City? *taps nose* and says "don't you worry about that me old son, getting to the top of the premier league is like driving to Mumbai, but guess what? We've got a sat nav, know what I mean?" *nods enthusiastically and laughs impishly* Anyway you said "you" believe there is a way, I'd love to hear it. Please explain. Edited 3 July, 2012 by Turkish
Tokyo-Saint Posted 3 July, 2012 Posted 3 July, 2012 To wrap it up, if you disagree with Turkish you're a mong, if you agree with him you're fine. It is also 'good banter' to postulate that somebody has Asperger's. LOL.[/quote] You eithe didn't read my post correctly, misunderstood it or are being deliberately obtuse as this is pretty much the opposite of what I said.
Wes Tender Posted 3 July, 2012 Posted 3 July, 2012 Hmmm, let's see. We've signed a player from Burnley and are apparently chasing a player that wasn't good enough for a poor dutch squad. You are delusional if you think this is us throwing down the gauntlet to Man City. So this would be comparable to another team chasing Le Tissier at the time that he wasn't deemed good enough to play for England then. He must really have been a sh*te player. And where did anybody throw down any gauntlet?
Gingeletiss Posted 3 July, 2012 Posted 3 July, 2012 If he did have a mental disorder then I would strongly advise that he reduced his post amount or at least asked someone before posting. I have nothing wrong with his informative posts, it's the obsessive need to correct every single tiny error no matter how small and even if it is perfectly obvious what a poster means that grates somewhat. That and the very tedious belief that everything emanating from the club is to be believed as gospel without even a seconds thought that sometimes there are ulterior motives behind statements from players, agents or PR firms. Hahahahahahhabl00dyha!!!!!!!!!

Perhaps hitchhiking to Mumbai is a better metaphor Edited 3 July, 2012 by shurlock
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 3 July, 2012 Posted 3 July, 2012 Apparently NC has been telling them that Southampton has the best looking girls in Britain, with fewer morals than a Barclays banker...

Wes Tender Posted 3 July, 2012 Posted 3 July, 2012 I take it he doesn't let them walk up Above Bar Street then where only half that statement is correct Where they are the prettiest girls, but with scrupulous morality, you mean?
Tokyo-Saint Posted 3 July, 2012 Posted 3 July, 2012 Where they are the prettiest girls, but with scrupulous morality, you mean? Sexy nuns? Only a matter of time before someone posts that picture again. Can't wait, that is one of the best reoccurring pics on saints web along with the old, mobility cart woman outside fratton.
dubai_phil Posted 3 July, 2012 Posted 3 July, 2012 What happens if you can't afford the petrol? Perhaps hitchhiking to Mumbai is a better metaphor Hitchhiking. Where you travel but someone else pays for the petrol.... Think we all know a club that tried that route
doddisalegend Posted 3 July, 2012 Posted 3 July, 2012 Hitchhiking. Where you travel but someone else pays for the petrol.... Think we all know a club that tried that route erm us? You didn't think the petrol for the bus was paid for by the fans did you.....
dubai_phil Posted 3 July, 2012 Posted 3 July, 2012 erm us? You didn't think the petrol for the bus was paid for by the fans did you..... CLUB, FFS oh hell. OK for Turkish. Investment to reach Europa League level from where we are today. At a crazy guess 200million quid. How to do that? Piece of cake. TV income per year approx 60mil. Ergo Stay in PL for 10 years income = 600mil. Then ensure that 1/3rd of income is NOT blown on salaries etc so you have an investment fund of? Bingo 200 mil. It is NOT about believing it can happen, it is just about thinking forwards in a way that Rupert never did

Flyer Posted 3 July, 2012 Posted 3 July, 2012 Thanks Phil that's really so simple it makes you wonder why all the PL clubs didn't think of doing that lots of them could all be competeing with Citeh by now Because clubs get relegated by not putting the money in the team, Wolves, Blackpool and WBA spring to mind in recent years. You could be lucky and become a yoyo club like WBA or stay down and never get back up again.

What about teams like everton and liverpool why haven't they just kept a third of the TV money each year for 10 years to give them a nice big wedge...
Turkish Posted 3 July, 2012 Posted 3 July, 2012 What about teams like everton and liverpool why haven't they just kept a third of the TV money each year for 10 years to give them a nice big wedge... Villa, bit odd they've not done this. What about Sunderland, they've been up 5 years now, they must have £100m in the bank, they must be loaded, why are they saying their big spending days are over?
Saint Garrett Posted 3 July, 2012 Posted 3 July, 2012 What about teams like everton and liverpool why haven't they just kept a third of the TV money each year for 10 years to give them a nice big wedge... Because for some reason, Liverpool like to spend their money on absolute ****e...!!!
doddisalegend Posted 3 July, 2012 Posted 3 July, 2012 Because for some reason, Liverpool like to spend their money on absolute ****e...!!! Fair point...it's only a matter of time before big Andy pays back his fee in a shed load of goals though surely?

It is NOT about believing it can happen, it is just about thinking forwards in a way that Rupert never did Intentionally not spending to create surplus money sounds like, err, precisely what Rupert Lowe did do. And, second err, its not surplus money that gets you to the Europa League. It's players.
Toadhall Saint Posted 3 July, 2012 Posted 3 July, 2012 To many people on here that want to play the man and not the ball. Mind you I suppose over the years that has been the English way (not that it gets you very far in either football or life).

Indeed - its just as bad as those who look for ulterior motives behind everything
