Roy Carroll
Roy Carroll played for United after playing for us. I thought the question was “subsequently played for Latics”
… and “Down by Christmas” could be “Randy Mobs Switch”.
No, I don’t know what it means either, but it sounds good. Especially at Christmas :shock:
Just a suggestion to the original poster.
Rather than just typing a name or words into http://wordsmith.org/anagram/ and then listing everything, you do the search and then put a bit of effort in and find a few amusing ones, which may entail moving words around. It looks far cleverer.
So for example Roberto Martinez could be called “Bizarre Tenor Tom” or maybe “Tomb Zero Trainer”.
Just producing the whole list is rather tedious.
Not really answering your question, Griff, but have a look at this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_En … e_managersShows how quickly managers turn around – Bob is about half-way up.
What about Nigel Adkins? :D
and then the £9M will go in his back pocket!
And why shouldn’t it?
He’s taken far far more than that out of his pocket over the years….
A penguin waddles to the shoe shop and asks the shop keeper “Have you got lemons?” The shoe keeper says “Can’t you see this is a shoe shop! We don’t sell any lemons!” The penguin just waddles off.
The next day the same penguin ask the same shop keeper the same question and the shop keeper says “Didn’t I told you this is a shoe shop not a greengrocer, we sell shoes not lemons…grrr!” So again the penguin just waddles off.
The next day, the same penguin asks the shop keeper “Have you got any lemons?” The shoe keeper screams at the penguin “I told you I don’t have any lemons, I don’t sell lemons and I don’t even like lemons…I sell shoes! Now, if you ever come back to my shop AGAIN I will nail your flippers to the floor!” The penguin just waddles away into the distance.
The following day, the penguin again goes into the same shop and asks “Have you got any nails?” The shop keeper says “NO!” The penguin says “Have you got any lemons then?”
but cant see us ever winning these small inbred cretins to our cause
If they are small inbred cretins (although I don’t see what size has to with anything) then would we want them supporting our cause?
Frank is driving a truck load of penguins across Europe to Chester zoo. Near Birmingham, his truck breaks down. Frank inspects the damage, sees his truck will need to be towed to a garage and so tries to flag down another truck for help.
Finally, David pulls over and asks Frank, “what’s the matter?”
Frank says, “My truck has broken down and it is full of penguins that need to be taken to the zoo today! Are you carrying anything?”
David says no.
Frank continues. “Great! I’ll give you 500 quid if you take these penguins to the zoo for me.”
David says, “sure.” So they load the penguins into David’s truck and David drives away towards Chester. Meanwhile, Frank calls a garage to come fix his truck.
The next day, Frank finally arrives in Chester. Imagine his surprise, then, when he sees David walking down the street with all the penguins; hand-in-wing, wing-in-wing.
“What the hell are you doing with the penguins!?” shouts Frank, “I told you to take them to the zoo yesterday!”
“I did,” said David calmly, “but I had some money left over. So I’m taking them to see a movie today.
How can a “top-class” footballer be so exclusively one-footed.
Even the simplest short pass under no pressure he had to make left-footed.
in 32 years supporting this club i have seen a lot of lows in that time, but usually pick myself up the next day & reclaim my optimism ready for the next game. my mood this morning is one still of shock, disbelief & anger – maybe even more emotions. take nothing away from blackpool – they fully deserved their victory & in all honesty, could & should have won by more. i watched MOTD last night to see if i could see ‘any’ positives from the game that i may have missed first time round & there were none.
last season was awful, but i stuck by the team, manager, the tactics but i’m beginning to wonder if i was watching last season through rose tinted specs & maybe trying to avoid what i didn’t want to admit. i feel that NOTHING has been learned at all from last season. had we have played with more passion,committment etc. yesterday, but lost by a freaky breakaway goal, a 30 yard screamer or something like that, i could have accepted that. but, the manner in the way we lost, the lack of the above qualities i have just mentioned is a REAL cause for concern.
i like martinez as a person & will always have fond memories of what he brought to our club as a player. he talks a good game & his ideas sound really good, & though i’m not suddenly going to join the anti martinez brigade, i feel that just like ince at blackburn, i am now beginning to wonder if he really is out of his depth at this level which is a shame, because as i said, i really do like the bloke & want him to succeed. i hope i’m proved wrong, but i can’t see this happening.
on another note, its been said on other posts about us having too many foreigners who use the club as a shop window & don’t give a you know what. i sometimes wonder if getting to the prem was the worst thing to happen to our club. after our first season the likes of bullard, roberts et al. all thought they were too good to play for wigan & left for ‘bigger’ clubs. i don’t exactly want us to get relegated, but i do miss the old days of divisions 1 & 2 where players actually wanted to play for the club. watching wigan in the lower leagues was actually fun – win, lose or draw. there was no pressure watching, it was a joy just to watch.
all i want from any wigan team i pay to watch is to see a team showing passion, committment & the actual desire & the wanting to play for the club that was sadly lacking yesterday & last season.Completely agree
