*Official* English Football Season 2005-06

[Craig]

Anyway I'm going to stick my neck out and avoid being banned for good by James and tip West Ham for the FA Cup Final, just got a gut feeling they could upset Liverpool.

Royle leaves Ipswich. Any Tractor Boys on here? Seems a little odd, one poor season and he's off. Wouldn't say no to big Joe at Pride Park.

I'm not a Tractor Boy, but being an Anglian whose childhood coincided with the highwater mark of Town's success (except possibly under Sir Alf) I know several people who are. I guess I'm Tractor-curious...

Anyway, Royle was never loved at Portman Road. Doesn't play the "Ipswich way". He was brought in to do a specific job (promotion back to Prem) & failed. I've not heard from one Town supporting mate who's unhappy.

Anyway, this is a cut-and-paste from an e-mail from my mate Nick, who bleeds blue:

Some very funny 'serious' suggestions on the Ipswich message board for a suitable replacement for big fat joe;

Mick 'fecking *****e' McCarthy
Steve 'yes boss' Clarke
Jason 'mines a pint' Dozzell
Martin O'Neil (yeah right!)
Alan Curbishley (yeah right!)
Terry 'the butcher' Butcher
Ian 'mad as a badger' Holloway
Saint Bobby of Robson
Gary Megson
Danny Wilson

But thankfully most people are suggesting Mogga or Parkinson!!!!

That's not the plural of ignorant....
How ignorant

Just guessing what's going on here, but is Scaly suggesting that the plural of 'ignoramus' is 'ignorami'?

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

It's 'ignoramuses'.

You have to be careful in cold places like the North-East in winter, though - especially getting your doctor to understand what's the matter.

It's no good saying "I think I contracted several viruses whilst riding more than one omnibus".

Oh, no - the doctor wouldn't have a clue until you say "I got these viri off the bi".

 

[Tom Halsey]

So will the reports from the samples (which categorically state it as not food poisoning) ?

Ah, yes. What is it then?

 

[luckyeddie]

Now that that shower of **** have gone I'm seriously considering a season ticket for next season

Aye.

North stand for me - going to try to get a front row one because my legs are so long (any other seats give me cramp)

 

[luckyeddie]

Ah, yes. What is it then?

Typical Spurs - just lack of bottle, of course.

 

[Pedro Delgado]

Aye.

North East area for me, the cheapest, £290 before July 17 I think.

I was looking at them, but my sister and brother-in-law have seats just to the left of the post that Campy never covers so I'm going to go where they are.

It's June, not July when the price goes up.

Newell for manager? Gadsby confirmed that Royle's not on the short list.

 

[marc71178]

Ah, yes. What is it then?

1 player had gastroenteritis (sp)

Die. Die now.









Joe Royle.What a ****ing guy.

1 player had gastroenteritis (sp)

Yep, "norovirus" AKA "winter vomiting sickness" was found in one (I'll repeat that: ONE) of the affected ten players.

From the beeb's site: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/4761715.stm

I'm about to enter into CC-esque conspiracy theory territory, but **** it, they were quick enough to have a cry to the Premier League: it was karma. If they'd just kicked that ball out at Highbury two weeks back the almighty wouldn't have given them the Jimmy Brits.

I'm suspicious - we beat Citeh to close within 1 point, the pressure starts to tell on them. With King & Jenas ruled out and injury concerns over Keane, Carrick, Mido & Stalteri they panic. Any delay of the game would have favoured them considerably so they came up with the alleged food poisoning possibly based on the fact that tests have shown that one player genuinely had winter vomiting sickness. So there you have it: one sick player and nine others only metaphorically crapping themselves.

Anyway, even ignoring all that, they had a game against a team waiting for a cup final. They had a 12-10 man advantage after the Hammers named Teddy "****ing" Sheringham in the line-up (he's always has a soft spot for T*ttenham, now he takes soft spot-kicks for them too...) and they still lost. Up the Irons!.

Bugger, I meant June. Would prefer a young, dynamic fellow like Newell (even if he is a scouser) to Royle/McCarthy to be honest, although as I've said I'm not too fussy who we get really.

Anyway, Cam on you 'ammers!

 

[luckyeddie]

Summed it up as only you can, BB.

Well done - Spurs resorting back to type and becoming the 'lie-down-and-poo' quitters we always suspected they were sort-of restores one's faith in human nature and will sustain us through a summer of torment.

Now I'm truly ready for the World Cup and watching England barely struggle out of the group only to dominate in the later stages before coming up against Germany after losing Beckham, Gerrard, a bunch of Coles, Rooney and his wheelchair attendant, Lampard, Owen and of course the ubiquitous Hargreaves in a bizarre late-night incident involving a job lot of second-hand Lederhosen.

Wes Taim

Didn't look like claret to me

 

[superkingdave]

Joe Royle.What a ****ing guy.

agreed

 

[PY]

agreed

Come on you might Mariners, game starts in 30 mins.

Pub time.

 

[marc71178]

At the time I have to admit I voiced my doubts to my Dad about the "illness"

 

[bugssy]

lets go LIVERPOOL and grab the FA Cup

 

[steds]

Cam on you 'ammers!

Agreed.

 

[Pratters]

Go the hammers!

 

[Scaly piscine]

Own goal might make the FA Cup final interesting for once.
