Good afternoon.
Since taking over at Queens Park Rangers the back pages have unleashed a cavalcade of potential transfer targets for stone faced supremo.
The Mail among others have suggested that Heurelho Gomes and Steven Peanut are in the mix. Let’s hope this is the case.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not exactly brimming with contempt for Gomes. If you’ll indulge me lapsing into pop psychologist mode, the guy is guilty of nothing more than being a man who is perceived as weak.
You’ve heard the line that ‘goalies are a different breed’? Well that is 100% true. And no more so in the manner in which they are perceived. A goalie makes a howler and no matter how many great saves he makes afterwards, in the subconcious of most people it’s all about simply waiting for him to revisit that state of fiasco.
But your striker. Ah, your striker… No matter how godawful he has been, all he has to do is hit a screamer, shin one in when it’s needed the most and the elevation from bum to born again folk hero takes anywhere between 1.3 and 3.3 seconds (depending upon alcohol consumption of the supporter).
With Peanut I’m equally unhurried to hurl abuse. His problem is that it isn’t his fault we insisted on buying him. The double negative is clue to the daftness of that situation.
Spurs fans seem pretty much split on him. Some see him as a potentially useful squad player. Some see him as being less useful than a marzipan ironing board cover. A few fun seekers are calling it a cheeky bit of business by Levy & Co. Mmmn.
The hope is that we flog them and that their fees can go towards a striker that works. Pav’s agent has recently said that he’s had 4 enquiries him. But these are worthless unless they come anywhere close to THFC’s valuation. One figure being bandied about was a bid of £7M. Utterly pointless in even reporting it. As per rumoured interest to deal on Andrey Arshavin at €8M by some interested parties. He cost twice that.
Defoe’s sale to Liverpool is fantasy. Arry had a gun put to his head as it was over 3MP. It’s only the fact that Adebayor is on a loan that’s keeping him in the Lilywhite as far as Levy & Co are concerned.
Spurs have very few options to realistically raise raise cold hard case this winter and it’s vital that if there’s a whiff of truth in people like Sparky being interested we vend asap.
The alternative is to save a few buttons by loaning them out ala Bentley and J****.
whatever happened to jolsgonemental? did he finally go mental?
his debating was a little less polite than than spuredonindublin and co, but far more entertaining……no offence like
Absolutely nothing wrong with polite debate. At the end of the day, most of what we say is opinion. As long as we realise that we are all entitled to have one, and don’t get our opinions confused with fact, it usually goes very amicably.
He’s become a cottager
my comments arnt showing up . oh wait a min ,now i know why .i havnt made any :dizzy:
You ain’t poppin’ corn, George!
Some one on here is very dull and in need of a shag.
That last bit could be me yet it isnt.
Hmmmmmmmm
Your Mum?
Can I dare to ask this question; do we want The Arse to beat Man Utd Sun?
Maybe it’s the ultimate heresy, but I would rather see Arse win, than Manure – not because I want Arse to help us, but because I cannot stand the stupidity of Manure fans.
Actually, so would I, and have cheered them to the rafters, as I hate Liverpool and Man Utd far more than the Goons, well until the C***bell thing happened that was, but now it’s three teams I detest not just the two.
With ya.
Man U all day long,a draw would be ok,and it is heresy to want scumbo;s to win
I accept your condemnation of me without equivocation.
My problem with Manure fans are that they are like those people who spend £40 on a decent single malt, and then add lemonade to “kill” the taste. I don’t usually find myself envious of other’s success, but when the success falls to idiots, I do begrudge them.
Chelsea?
There’s a lot of Man U and Liverpool fans in Ireland ,and what a pain in the bum they are,but always remember the the real enemy.
It’s a local thing FW,being born and bred in the area and having a brother who’s a Goon, we used alternate games, and also most of my work/school mates were either Spurs or Arsenal, so you just couldn’t go around having constant rows-until the derby matches came around.
Draw would suit with a few Mertesaker moments thrown in. Plenty of whingeing and decisions going against Man Utd but 1-1 should suit us.
Any result that whittles away their confidence and resolve is fine by me, as I can imagine RVP getting more frustrated with each passing game.
How very dare you.
There are three very good reasons why we want the Mancs to win
1. It’s never a bad day when The Arse lose
2. They are the team in 5th place so we want them as far out the CL equation as possible
3. It’s never a bad day when The Arse lose
magnificently put,but may I put a 4th reason
4.Its never a bad day when the Arse lose.
would like a 3=3 draw with a couple of bad decisions and a couple of send offs, couple of disallowed,goals plenty of mistakes from both aides and both knackererd at the end with Henry missing a pen and some sitters.
Oh and a couple of hammys thrown in for good measure also some pitch invasions and a few racism remarks from both sides.And the mother of interviews from both managers at the end.
dont want much eh? coys
Have a word with Hartley-he’s the one with the magic beans-you never know.
Forget it brother, turns out that they were just ‘beans and sausages’, although most up here in the North would think they were magic, I myself is well travelled and have seen em many times before on my trips down South…..sayin that, first time I ever saw em I was gobsmacked! :shocked2:
You’ve been using that home still to brew up again haven’t you?
Well said !
Can’t wait to see what Wenger’s excuse will be.
COYS!
Oh yessss, ov coursee…..unfortunately I dident see eet….?
Give the ball to Mertesaker……..You can see Henry ageing every match.
