I thought I was giving a cock handed compliment, even the great slur alex can make a poor signing

Its irrelevant what Fergie has done on signings as he is an unqualified success - his record speaks for itself.


Its only if someone is either a failure (O'Leary) or a qualifed success (Rafa) that you need to look at his sigings and do a cost/benefit comparison.


Fergie stands apart.

Forget about signings being good or bad, its what you do with the players you have available. There is no doubt that when puts his mind to it he can deliver for the big occasion... but he is a loose cannon who I think has engineered his sacking. I don't see Liverpool touching him with a barge poll until he has at least proven he can behave and focus on the team at another Club.. and I dare say try and sustain good football.
BTW Shanks, Paisley, Fagan, Dalglish, not to mention Wenger and Mourinho, all won the Title within 2 years of being in top flight. As for Fergie he was runner-up in his first full season in England. Great managers let their greatness be read on the pitch.. whilst others have their mates in the media write it for them :)

Those are two of the most hilarious posts I've seen on this thread. Thank you for heralding the Christmas period with such jollity. :))

Only to see his wife and kids for Christmas. Oh and by the way -

Is this the FF thread equivalent of the Germans and Allies playing football in no-mans-land in the First World War! :)

Your powers of observation are second to none. Who did Celtic get?

How times have changed. Once upon a time Boxing Day meant half the Premiership would kick off at lunchtime such was the number of southern Clubs, now it is just Craven Cottage hoisting the Flag this Xmas. Not sure how so many Clubs from the North West have PL status, but there are 5 PL fixtures in old Lancashire at 3 p.m. this Boxing Day!

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
