  • Taufel is an Aussie so he'd be unhappy with England winning anything.

    We played a game at Oxford in pre-season and me an Nobes were on the back of the bus with him saying how wonderful it was.

    "He gets off the bus after we've bigged him up and we've said 'we'll see you tomorrow in training' - and we don't see him for a week.

    "No-one can get in touch with him. You're trying to ring him and we are all trying to ring him.

  • So we all thought that the whole Arnie chapter is well and truly behind us now right?

    Well not quite

    I think I’ve just stumbled across something from Ex where he says we only signed Haksabanovic because we promised an agent we would do so if he managed to get Arnie to sign for us in 2017.

    And when Sead pitched up for training, Slav had no idea who he was!

    And Sead is on our payroll until 2022 I think.

    Sounds a bit unlikely, isn't Arnie's agent his brother?

    Even if it's true, Haksabanvic was signed for the Academy (was 17? 18? I think). I don't think it's normal practice for the 1st team manager to have oversight of Academy signings?

    He signed a 5yr contract as a 17/18 yr old. Can't imagine he's on much of a wage. Was reported in the press as being a signing 'for the future' and was listed in the Development Squad part of the website, not the 1st team.

    Doesn't seem like much of a story, does it?

  • Sturridge banned for six weeks and fined £75k after being found guilty of breaching FA betting rules.

    I think we now know who kidnapped his dog...
  • Am I bovvered
  • I was searching Amazon for a cooling fan and came across this Question ask by someone.

    Does the fan need electricity to run or does it use perpetual motion?
    These are some of the answers.

    I've had a degree of success powering the device by positive thought

    No, it does not run on perpetual motion (that's silly). Star Agent Zig Tharg flies in from the Oogle Constellation the first of every month, sticks his cosmic wand into the back of it and recharges it.

    I use several hamsters on a wheel, by attaching a belt to the motor to power this.

    I don't want to be a know it all here but I'm fairly certain that you can power this with about 20 - 30 cats
    tie them in a neat bundle behind the fan and tickle their chins as quickly as you can.
    the collective purring should cause the fan to wiggle a bit.
    adjust accordingly.
    Ask a silly question.

    Moojor, I agree, but you could not put it on here.
  • I think that City deserved to lose after wearing that kit

    Good question!!
    Let's have a separate thread so that it doesn't get lost :biggrin:
  • I have seen the following two headlines on the BBC sport website today

    1. “Paul Pogba brings everybody at Man Utd together”
    2. “Is Bale the most successful ‘failure’ ever?”

    :doh:

    You have to question what types of numpty are being paid by the licence payer to write such tripe
  • The first one is a quotation from Mata.
  • edited July 2019
    All the people going on today about how Bale's stats show he was better for Madrid than Zidane :doh:

    Yeah, let's ignore that his goals came as a forward while Zidane's were as a midfielder...or that his CL wins came with Zidane as manager.
  • They asked Trump to do it, but he turned it down.
  • I actually know a lot about painting. A lot. I'm a really great painter. Really great. Lots of people have told me that.
  • So Boris is PM........

    Mods - can we have a swearing amnesty for the rest of the day please? If this news doesn't warrant it then I don't know what does
  • Moojor said:

    No words.
  • I have plenty. If you're considering the above... :whistle:

    His myriad faults and failings, not least his dishonesty and disloyalty, are a matter of public record, and yet this has not affected those making this choice.

    This is a man who lied to his PM whilst serving as a minister, and then refused to resign when he was found to have been lying. That is the man who is now PM of the United (at least for a bit longer) Kingdom.
  • I cannot remember a time when we have had such a lack of decent political leaders across the spectrum maybe it's time to look at the lesser parties and break the mould

    I think people should look carefully at how much (and why) Corbyn is vilified in the media, compared to how soft a ride Johnson has and will get in comparison.

    Johnson's failings and faults are a matter of factual, non-deniable, public record. Apart from smears and slurs, what are Corbyn's failings?
  • Grey, you have clearly not heard the almost constant character assassination of BJ by the BBC over the last few weeks. One of the reasons I am sure he has refused to appear on the Today programme.

    Please note I am not defending BJ and agree with many of the comments, but he has certainly not been given a soft ride for some time.

    We clearly have a different view of the man , one of the most pointless excerises is to debate this. I can start a 500 response thread on this but not all the press can be dismissed as anti propaganda and I am old enough to hear his pro terrorist rants and I do have a relative who survived the Brighton bomb and his reaction to it, don't even get me started on momentum and anti semitism. Cant stand Boris either btw.
