Leave him alone Salford, it’s a shame for the lad, he’s a relatively new fan, he still thinks his opinions are valid. He’s not very good at arguing and that, about as much use as Anne Frank’s tap dancing shoes.
I dont mind Filadelphia he gets an A* for effort :)
” Prestige ” !!! You could be right there because I end up turning into a pressure cooker every time I go on !! We have had 7 seasons to adapt to the PL but have chosen the financial safe option. Now I am not saying that is wrong but if you are going to cut your cloth accordingly in the PL a division that survives purely from money and greed then you are not going to survive ! I keep getting told by other posters that its been a dream ride and it cant last forever and to stop moaning and so I have decided to give in re PL ambitions and wait and see what the Championship has to offer but I aint holding my breath !!
To sit there and criticise Dave Whelan (which is exactly what you are doing) for not pouring more dead cash into the club is quite frankly laughable….
Its even more laughable that you jumped on the Wigan Bandwagon around the time we would be coming into the Premiership yet expect more of a club that you have contributed very little to…
The be all and all is this is the be and end all and if you dont like that all is being ended within all this then go support Man U who will compete quite comfortably for many years to come.[/quote]
Pre Prem Manc pre Prem !! Also I am not calling Whelan as I did say ” I am not saying it is wrong ” I was trying to say that I am not surprised we are struggling but you being such a tit head have tried to turn it into another argument when in fact it was a well reasoned post ! Now fuck off back to your ivory tower in Manchester !![/quote]
Brilliant not only do you continue to offer a 3 year olds perspective into how a football should be run but you are now in need of a geography lesson….
Since when was Salford in Manchester you plebb?[/quote]
Demographic generalization ! Think Manchester Utd ! Oh dear oh dear !! Now like I said off ya pop !![/quote]
First of all Filly if you are going to run your posts through a spellcheck at least make sure it is set to UK and not US first.
Secondly throwing down a Demographic Generalisation card as a way out of a stupid comment isnt going to be the be all and end all of this one!
I can only imagine your ” Demographic Generalisation ” stems from the fact that Salford and Manchester are one of a few select border lining city’s in the world!
Or more so the fact that Salford is in fact in Greater Manchester…
Of course the following are also a part of Greater Manchester:
Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford, Wigan.
Putting Salford with this jolly Greater Manchester family leaves you with 1 City and 8 Borough’s / Towns.
So Salford would surely have the biggest claim of the lot in the battle of Manchester Independence by being its own City.
How’s it feel to be a manc by generalisation Filly?

With regards to Marlon King, IMO footballing wise he was a flop & an expensive one in much the same vein as Boselli. However in footballing terms the club still had a fairly valuable asset (isn’t he currently playing for a top 6 Championship side?) – he only became of no value for non-footballing reasons and when the club cancelled his contract (rightly in my opinion).
I agree with much of what you’ve posted Tyldesley, but in my opinion King was in excess of Boselli’s ‘floppage’.
He was £5.5 million, which for a Championship player is heck of a lot of money, and as he was signed on £40k a week deal, as soon as it was apparent that he wasn’t going to remain a permanent feature, his wages meant nobody wanted him.
He already had a reputation as being a misfit when he was signed, so in my opinion, I’d dispute the fact that he was ever a saleable asset, and from the minute he put pen to paper, we had a white elephant on our hands.
All that said, you can’t put the blame entirely on Bruce. Managers have an array of people (club employees, and otherwise) scouting, advising, and – you’d like to hope – running checks on potential signings. surely someone must have flagged up his chequered character somewhere along the way?
For the record, I’d still like to see Boselli given another go, and think he could have done a decent job in the current variation on formation and ever so slightly improved form.[/quote]
It’s a pity in January after not being able to bring in another striker we couldn’t call him back. I think with the number of chances we have created of late Boselli may have scored us a few goals.[/quote]
Can’t disagree with that hinders surely he would thrive on the amount chances in the last 2 games Butt ( and its a whoopie Goldberg size one) …
Di Santo did fantastically well to get on the end of those high and very direct passes and the constant crosses from the left (obviously did terrible to not score them afterwards) but would boselli have provided the same sort of movement and tactical awareness that is so important in that particular style of play??
Or am I just starting to sound like Martinez… Haha :)
I’m sure the Viagra company that he did that advert for may have give him a solution to little pele’s problem.
You should have a word with jayt so all the original posters can have a message board all to themselves ;)Alot of the original posters are gone nowadays… Not that I keep a list or would consider myself on that list by a long shot.
However I think if everything that was said wasnt turned into an anti-martinez rant it would be a good step towards being able to have a reasonable discussion without the need for petty sniping.
The utter dross and dribble spouted on here by certain people has for the first time caused my emergence from the message board lurking curtain and throw my pennys worth in.
I was happy lurking and hopefully one day when my own dribble is less interesting than the majority of dribble on here I can go back to being a happy lurker….
Just wondering what the criteria for being a proper fan was. Just because Filmoss didn’t go back in the day does not make him any less a fan. We as a club need to increase our fan base and newer fans JCL’s should be encouraged. Or would you rather we went back to 2300 proper fans who saw the really bad times blah blah blah???He didnt say a fan he said a supporter.
Those 2 could be considered two very different things.
And for the clubs sake I would not like to go back to 2300 die hard Wigan fans…
But I’ll tell you something this board was a far better read before our emphatic rise to the Premiership than it is now!!!
He will realise one day that his opinion doesn’t count for much with the proper supporters, however many times he repeats them
Proper supporters???[/quote]
The one’s that “support” their club.
Dont worry Hindley you dont fall under that description :P
We climed a place in the leage at the weekend, in the last 2 months we have only lost 1 in 6. Players seem to be playing with confidence….
Progress with Unity !
Is it not Un1ty ? The i being replaced with the No.1 !! Well that’s how it was written when I last drove up Albion Road !! ;)[/quote]
Next time you look at the club motto am sure it will clear that up for you.[/quote]
Fil wasnt around with the old badge ;)
Dont forget we are 3 points better off on avoiding relegation than we were at this point last season…
If Liverpool beat QPR and we get something out of that game (which if we put in a performance like the last 2 games I can see no reason why not) we will be well on are away to acheiving our aim.
At least 2 of those were offside, even from where I was sitting.
He took em well though !! So only one win at home eh ! Progress with Un1ty !! Another uncanny similarity is……………………………
You are a weegie, a smelly weegie, yer only happy on giro day, yer maw’s out stealin, yer dad’s drug dealin, please don’t take my hubcaps away.
We all know the tune to that one ! ;)36% of the starting line-up last week were Scots !
We are turning into your team Edinburgh !!
HIBEES !!! B)[/quote]
Did you start this thread with a view to turning it into a negative discussion of the club?
Or does it just come naturally to you?
Anti-Martinez turrets Fil…

Thing is with Boselli we will have recouped money in loan fee’s still have a fairly valuable asset and Roberto said in the fans forum that he will be back next season…
All is not lost as it would seem.
However a quick flash back allows us to compare this Boselli “tradgedy” to a £5million striker in the name of Marlon King of whom we would of paid VERY high wages and recouped nothing from him except a load of bad press.
Anyone who thinks Bruce was good for this club has as much foresight as a blindman.
