Bigsby Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Was out with an old friend who I hadn't seen for years the other night and was pleased to learn that his little brother plays for Mo Town, Nick Gray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I'm quite enjoying the backstory of our new signing, Pavels Mihadjuks.'Mihadjuks started his career as a forward, but quickly developed into an imposing centre half. After some excellent displays for the Latvian under 21 team, he gained the nickname "'Pavels Slepkava'" which means "Pavels The Butcher" in English. The nickname was due to his habit of injuring opponents with sturdy tackles. A request was made to FIFA to allow Mihadjuks to wear the name "Slepkava" on his back but this was declined.'

He'll do very well at United. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaki Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Hero McGhee Berates Dons FaithfulHe has a point with regards to the fickleness of some fans and the abuse that the players receive.....BBC Sport - Football - Aberdeen manager Mark McGhee wants fans to end abuse...I just can't help finding his delivery quite....arrogant.I'm still behind him and the team though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 oh deary deary me losing away at Salisbury in the FA Trophy and they're down to 10 men!!! Didn't think our season could get any worse... need to pick it up second half big style! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartmaxwell Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 he is bang on! if i was one of the nice away fans who get behind the team i'd be hacked off that he tarred me with same brush though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calum Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 For what it's worth, I both like and rate McGhee. I've seen plenty signs of progress this season, and if he gets some cash to play with I'm confident that he'll take us forward.And I'm fucking sick of hearing about Kilmarnock's manager.

RossP Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 That's really encouraging news. Apparently if it all goes well, we'll sign him longer term.Seems to be pretty loyal as well. He wanted to stay with ICT even after we got relegated, with reduced wages, but the board of directors (fannies) up top decided that we could maybe replace him with a cheaper version... in Bulvetis. In fairness, Bulvetis has come onto a really good game this season, but he's nowhere near as good as Magic.I'm just glad he's gone to the Arabs and not Dens!!

delboy Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 well at least your team havent just lost to Salisbury fucking City in the FA Trophy who were down to 10 men for most of the match... and are probably going to be stripped of the six points we got against Chester City cos its looking increasingly likely they're going to chucked out the conference... and on the back of 6 league defeats on the bounce... which means we are well and truly in the relegation mire and dropping to the conference south a possibility... and our main keeper is out for 2 months and the young rubbish reserve keeper made a monumental fuck up for Salisbury's 2nd goal... so however you may be depressed about tonights performance surely can't be as bad as all that (maxie and montrose excepted!). I feel better now back to the carnage of the cambridge messageboard and the enivitably 200 posts wanting Ling out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsinho Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 2-1 up at home to Barnsley with 5 minutes left. Dean Windass says they're battering us on sky sports news. Not a hint of surprise in my reaction to this news. I've lost count of the number of leads we've thrown away already this season. Chris Killen scored, who'da thought it?The good news for Newcastle is that forest have lost so only WBA have gained on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nev Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Good news though Woodsinho...AJ's our new best player. Man of the Match tonight, won the penalty and generally impressed. I presume Strachan allowed him to go because he can actually play football? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume Strachan allowed him to go because he can actually play football?He is a fantastic player, can play on both wings and is even capable of such mind blowing tricks as changing direction on the ball and providing an accurate cross. SWP could learn a few things from him.We won, sweet! Still 2 points off 6th having played 2 more games though so I'll not be going overboard on the celebrations.

Soda Jerk Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 It's just a shame that, out of all the teams who were keeping an eye on him, he went to that load of scarf wearing sugar daddies. I be he's getting paid a quarter of a million a week, and everyone who lives in Teesside has had their mortgage cleared, the git.Good lad though, and he can kick a ball about a fair bit.

Soda Jerk Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I blame Redknapp. For everything. Portmouth's demise. The Holocaust. Poverty. The Nintendo Wii. Everything.It's weird to think they won the FA Cup less than 2 years ago, and were playing the likes of AC Milan on their own soil as a result. It'd be a shame if they went completely bust. Can the FA not step in and tide them over until the end of the season?Why Pompy? Why not a team that nobody likes, like Spurs or West Brom?

Woodsinho Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Fratton Park is why, it doesn't generate anything close to the match day revenue they'd need to match their ridiculous expenditure. It's got a capacity of just over 20,000 and doesn't have any of those fancy corporate box section that make loads of money of the course of a season. They don't have much of an international following to back them up either so that's another income stream that's missing when you compare them to other clubs with their spending over the last 5 years.My favourite illustration of their madness is that John Utaka gets paid more than Cesc Fabregas.

Lemonade Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Seemingly they are now on their fifth owner in a year. And yet still they still don't have any money. Surely one of these guys actually had some money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right?Hughton is a fucking muppet though.You mean you don't agree with his decision to put Jonas at left back and Guthrie on the left wing to effectively keep them out of the game for the second half?At least Sunderland are rubbish at the moment, that's some consolation.

Like the Milans! They could even call it the San Siro. It would be off the hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
