Genius, have some waddage for finding that

For a moment I thought fans at Villa Park  had spontaeously re-written Cheer Up Peter Reid by Simply Red and White but it turns out they have re-written Cheer Up Peter Reid by PilotFish 10 which is pretty funny. Disgraceful of course but funny.


Good Brummies  

And Gav still had showed up at work  

[GraemeA]

Well after nearly 2 weeks of 'working from home' Gav has finally shown his face and paid off his gambling debts. I will enjoy spending his money in the pub raising a toast to Alan Shearer. Next season's bet is £20 that they don't come straight back up.

Better stop now - after all I am a Hull fan and people in glass houses etc....

If it's true that there was no relegation get out clause in most of the £50k+ a week contracts that the useless shower were given then I'd be very surprised if anyone sane took a punt on this. Coupled with the fact that they still owe money on a lot of the transfers and will have to refinance to make those payments and meet the wage bill (reported to be £75m p.a.) it looks very similar to the situation that (whisper it) Leeds were in when they went down.

Ashley wants £100m but a more realistic price would be about a tenner because of the amount of debt someone's going to have to take on. There are plenty more attractive clubs looking for investment. If you wanted to put £100m in then why would you choose a virtually bankrupt Championship side?

I reckon they're prop'a fooked like, canny lad.

Yup - 5th highest wage bill in the BPL... THe danger then is that they get into 'we'll pay 30k of owens wages a week if you take him off our hands' type situations... which (ironically) players like Viduka were on at Leeds...

Its a sorry state of affairs allright. How much did west Ham go for earlier in the week?

[Jaspersharpe]

West Ham have basically been taken over by the bank who the previous owner owed fuckloads of money to.

Or in more detail.

They're in a much stronger position than Newcastle and, most importantly, are still in the Premier League.

FFS this makes Sloper's politicial drivel seem interesting. Football talk?? I'd rather watch already dry paint get a tiny bit drier 

[Jaspersharpe]

The paint on your little toy soldier men you mean?

[Paul B]

  - thats got to be one the harshest put downs I've read for a while.

[Fiend]

Not to me it ain't. I'm happy and proud of painting toy soldiers (been doing a bit recently when the weather was wank)

  SSHHHHH Can't you lot get back to moaning about campus board rung angles or something??

[Jaspersharpe]

How about a new topic to get this one back on track?

[Fiend]

  What a gent you are Jasper *cough*cough*

P.S. It's a little army of Dwarves not Orcs.

Anyway. I have no comment on the Works, due to the weather I haven't been down for ages. I did meet Sam walking out from Malham the other day, looking like the terminator with sunglasses and muscles everywhere. He was as friendly as usual. The last time at the Works, hmmm there was that new circuit and it was a bit tricky for the grade range. I also got burnt off by a gurl I think...

[LucyB]

I also got burnt off by a gurl I think...

 
You think she was a gurl... or
You think you got burnt off...

Both of these things can be quite confusing.
