I doubt very much he is old enough to even be in t’pub

Mr Tyldesley your post makes for good argument and you highlight some common feeling among the supporters, however, I’ll have to agree to disagree with you a couple of your points (after all what’s this board about if we cannot share opinion?)

Any delay, at this level, is bound to have its repercussions. Let’s not forget that the ‘cherries’ had already been picked and he had been left with part of Bruce’s legacy – also regardless of the soothsayers (here and other boards) no-one really knows who the real targets were and what could be had within the timescale (even Bruce admitted that he couldn’t take ‘Figgy’ to the North East in time…… and he was already in post). I agree that normally 4 months is a fairly reasonable amount of time to ‘gel’ your team but who else, along with me, has felt that this has been the most erratic stop/start to any season in recent times (break for this, break for that) it’s hardly helped him. As for your observation on Gomez and Scotland I don’t believe this is what Mr SMB said, however, he did say “some of the players know that no matter how poor they are, they’ll still be in the team” – what I think you’re saying is that if Roberto wanted to destroy what little remains of the team confidence then all he needs to do is tell them this…….then we would go down faster than a slapper on King Street (that would be great man management skills).

I think you are right about our defensive record and I agree that the change to our style of play has shown us to be a little lacking in that area – it’s been said before maybe he does need a defensive coach, but I disagree on his only game plan being a 4-5-1 formation, I have seen him play 4-3-3 a few times and he has even played a traditional 4-4-2 (with Hugo and Scotland) albeit for only a couple of ‘secondhalfs’ (however you spell that) – some people just need to be able to read the formation on the field rather than listen to pub chatter.

Anyway, your closing point about “it’s as much the fault of the players as Bobby” is well put – some of these people who represent our wonderful town on the playing field need to realise the passion of the few, they need to understand that their performances are for our benefit and not their upwardly looking career move to the big clubs like Bolton or Fulham. Failure to play their hearts out for the shirt, the team and the town, in my opinion, is a cardinal sin – and will be remembered.

I still believe that we will prevail.

Well let’s hope it was Purple Aki then……….

We just can’t keep the good man down (hail Tommy Cooper)

A man walked into the doctors and said, “I’ve hurt my arm in several places?” The doctor said, “Well, don’t go there anymore!”

I went to the butchers the other day and bet him 50 quid that he couldn’t reach the meat off the top shelf. He said, “No, the steaks are too high.”

Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly. They lit a fire in the craft. It sank, proving that you can’t have your kayak and heat it.

A man goes to the doctor with a strawberry growing out of his head. The Doc says, “I’ll give you some cream for that.”

A man came round in hospital after a serious accident. He shouted, “Doctor, I can’t feel my legs!” The doctor replied, “I know, I’ve cut your arms off.”

Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, and the other was eating fireworks. They charged one and let the other one off.

So I went to the dentist. He said “Say Aaah.” I said “Why?” He said “My dog’s died.'”

Two fat blokes in a pub, one says to the other “Your round.” The other one says “So are you, you fat slob”

My wife and I were married in a toilet: it was a marriage of convenience.

What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh

A neutron walks into a bar. “I’d like a beer” he says. The bartender promptly serves up a beer. “How much will that be?” asks the neutron. “For you?” replies the bartender, “no charge.”

Two hydrogen atoms walk into a bar. One says, “I think I’ve lost an electron.” The other says “Are you sure?” The first says, “Yes, I’m positive…”

A man gets on a train and sits next to a young woman reading a book called ‘Sex Statistics’. “Any good?”, he asks. “Fascinating – American Indians have the widest pr1cks, and Polishmen the longest. By the way, I’m Jane.” “Hi,” he says. “I’m Tonto Palawlaski.”

I had a ploughman’s lunch the other day. He wasn’t very happy.

I was driving down the motorway with my bird the other day when we both got a bit frisky and decided to do something about it. So we decided we’d take the next exit, but it was a turn-off.

So I said to this Chinese waiter, “Are there any Chinese jews”, so he went away and when he came back he said, “no, there’s only apple juice, pineapple juice…

I went to the doctors the other day and I said “have you got anything for wind”, so he gave me a kite.

I went to the doctor and I said “it hurts when I do that”, he said “well, don’t do it.”

More……………….only if you want

All right so I said there wouldn’t be any more but I couldn’t resist…..

More Cooper Jokes:

A woman told her doctor, ‘I’ve got a bad back. ‘The doctor said, ‘It’s old age.’ The woman said, ‘I want a second opinion. ‘The doctor says, ‘OK. you’re ugly as well.’

I’m on a whiskey diet. I’ve lost three days already.

Two fish in a tank, one says to the other – you drive I’ll man the guns.

I went into a butchers and I said, ‘I’ll have a pound of sausages. ‘He said, ‘I’m very sorry, sir, we only serve kilos in here. ‘I said, ‘Okay then I’ll have a pound of kilos.’

So I knocked on the door at this bed & Breakfast and a lady stuck her head out of the window and said: ‘What do you want’, I said, ‘I want to stay here’. She said, ‘Well stay there’ and shut the window.

‘I had a meal last night. I ordered everything in French, surprised everybody. It was a Chinese restaurant. I said to this Chinese waiter, ‘Look, this chicken I got here is cold. ‘He said, ‘It should be, it’s been dead two weeks.’
I said, ‘Not only that. ‘He’s got one leg shorter than the other. ‘He said, ‘What do you wanna do with it, eat it or dance with it?’
I said, ‘Forget the chicken, give me a lobster, and he brought me this lobster. I said just a minute, he’s only got one claw. ‘He said ‘Well he’s been in a fight. ‘I said, ‘Well give me the winner.’

“He said ‘I’m going to chop off the bottom of one of your trouser legs and put it in a library’. I thought ‘That’s a turn-up for the books.'”

“So I was getting into my car, and this bloke says to me “Can you give me a lift?” I said “Sure, you look great, the world’s your oyster, go for it.'”

“So I went down my local ice-cream shop, and said ‘I want to buy an ice-cream’. He said Hundreds & thousands?’ I said ‘We’ll start with one.’ He said ‘Knickerbocker glory?’ I said ‘I do get a certain amount of freedom in these trousers, yes.’

“So I got home, and the phone was ringing. I picked it up, and said ‘Who’s speaking please?’ And a voice said ‘You are.'”

“So I rang up my local swimming baths. I said ‘Is that the local swimming baths?’ He said ‘It depends where you’re calling from.'”

I went to the chemist and said “Can you make something up for me?”
He said “Frank Sinatra was in here this morning”.

Wise words indeed there Mr SMP, sounds like you have an ‘owd head on your shoulders there………and as for using a vice and a file whilst profiling; in my previous ‘life’ we still did.

As for not being a multi-poster, childish one, how come you declared that you’re back (on the non-football section) when people I have spoken to cannot remember you even being around beforehand?

Finally, let’s take a look at what you said on Mr VAT’s thread “I saw a latics badge”

I’ll remind you……….

“Don’t know what you’re on about but im Hit4Fiftyseven on my new account, thanks”

Oh dear!………please keep up or try to take the advice above and not join the ‘big playground’ until you’re ready to clean the grease paint from your face……Coco.
