It is a phrase that is part of EDF folklore, but I hadn't realised it had become synonymous with a suspected fake post. I thought people used it in a general p!ss take way, a bit like 'gang activity'. Not to worry...

The local CGF barber's ''Half Cut - Half Price!'' offer has few takers... http://playmobil.scene7.com/is/image/Playmobil/5487_product_detail?$pdp_zoom_inner$&locale=en_GB No I'm not drunk...it'sh the beer and lime shampoo I uuused...Hic!

I see, I still don't get how that relates to the title of the thread though. And it's not like our Sue to be so coy. Say it like it is Sue... :)

Week 21 points... Week 21 table...

The crazy thing is, despite playing crap it could happen, it's been that sort of season. I've no idea how we ended up top in November...

Agree, that's a total steal. ?4m in today's market is no risk at all. Utd certainly could've done with him...

Two years earlier...

I missed out on 8 matches one weekend. There's no guarantee that I would've got any points for them, so you just have to carry on and not think ''what if''. In Otta's case, he's missed loads so I can understand why he's lost interest...

Week 21 fixtures... Saturday 16th January 2016 Tottenham v Sunderland Bournemouth v Norwich Chelsea v Everton Man City v Crystal Palace Newcastle v West Ham Southampton v West Brom Aston Villa v Leicester Sunday 17th January 2016 Liverpool v Man Utd Stoke v Arsenal Monday 18th January 2016 Swansea v Watford

It was definitely a week crying out for a big score. Missed opportunity...

Excellent, that should mean De Gea will definitely stay at least another season. Time for the new manager to convince him his future is Red...

Week 20 points... Week 20 table...

From a Utd perspective, could do with a lot of draws tonight. Foxy, you getting excited about tomorrow night yet?...

Ah, sorry, missed that...

For a lot of people music has associations/connections throughout their lives, the music they heard growing up, at school, first kiss, first riot, college, work, their wedding day, first born etc etc. So when a musician like Bowie dies, people are not just mourning the loss of his life, they are also mourning the loss of part of their lives...

If you're taken in with the lies that the Sun prints, then yeah, it could be argued that Murdoch was more influential...

Week 20 fixtures... Tuesday 12th January 2016 Aston Villa v Crystal Palace Bournemouth v West Ham Newcastle v Man Utd Wednesday 13th January 2016 Chelsea v West Brom Man City v Everto Southampton v Watford Stoke v Norwich Swansea v Sunderland Liverpool v Arsenal Tottenham v Leicester

A very sad day. One of my older brothers was a big fan, so I grew up 'listening' to his 70's albums and eventually became a fan myself by the late 70's...work those shoulders babe x

A little perhaps :) He definitely has something about him. I'm all for keeping it local, get our identity back, so hopefully it'll be Giggs this summer, although I reckon Red Nev would make a batter manager, but too soon for him. Scholes can do the PR and Phil Nev can wash the dishes...

If he carries on doing well, he'll end up back in Spain at one of the big 2, and no one, not even Levy, will stop him going...

Glazers and Woodward know diddly squat about football, but even they realise they would have a riot on their hands if that ever happened. Quite happy to take Klopp off your hands though...

???? Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > You liking LVG RD/Dr? He's got you there or > there abouts after all...... No, I'm not liking it Quids. Paul Scholes is right. I'm fooking bored watching my team. Like most fans I?ve put up with the dross and taken a pragmatic view. The club needed a strong character to steady the ship after Moyes was eaten alive. Fans put up with last season's snoozefest believing that having got back into the CL, things would change playing wise this season, but they haven't, hence the recent unrest. I'm willing to give him until the end of the season to turn things round, but I wouldn't shed a tear if he went tomorrow. The bigger issue for me is more to do with LVG's appointment in the first place, and how the club as a whole lacks direction and a clear strategy. LVG was only ever going to be a stop gap appointment. It was a short term view, get us back into the CL at any cost. But the squad also needed rebuilding, and that can?t be done in such a short space of time. At some point in the next 18 months we?ll have a new manager and the process will start all over again. Once you get into that cycle it?s very hard to get out of it. We shouldn?t be appointing a manager with a philosophy that?s at odds with the club?s DNA of how we play football. If we?re now in an age of short term managerial reigns, fine, then at least appoint a manager who?s philosophy is in keeping with the club?s own philosophy/DNA. That way you at least get some coherence, a smoother succession between managers. There also seems to be a disparity between the business side of the club run by the Glazers and Woodward, and the playing side run by the manager, with no overall plan on what players to buy. So we get a scattergun approach, with the suits obsessed with making a big name signing whether we need the player or not, e.g. Di Maria. There?s no way LVG wanted him, he?s just not his type of player. He was bought more as a statement of financial muscle by the suits. What the suits need to realise fast, is that the commercial success the club has recently enjoyed is down to the success we had on the pitch, not the other way round. Neglect the playing side and the success soon dries up, and eventually the commercial deals will too...
