150 mile round trip today and £90 on tickets. I’m most displeased. Still, we got to hurl some abuse at FCB laugh

So a bowl of cheap pasta and the promise of a holiday if they stay up, Butlins?

That’ll motivate them you arse.

And apparently he’s not selling this season. Oh, fking deep fking joy.

He was never selling this season because there's nobody stupid enough to stump up his asking price for a club which has seen little to no investment in it for a decade.
£350m or £400m might be achievable if there had been a good level of investment in both team and facilities. He seems to think he can ask the same as for all the other houses in the street, despite the guttering hanging down, the single glazed windows, stty electrics and needing a new kitchen, the avocado bathroom ripping out and that awful, awful woodchip wallpaper stripping off.

I found it quite funny last month when he blamed greedy landlords for House of Fraser stores being closed while being the greediest of the lot.
In fact, in writing this, in my mind I've just associated him with Sherrif Fatman of Carter USM fame:

"There's bats in the belfrey
The windows are jammed
The toilet's ain't healthy
He don't give a damn
Just chuckles and smiles
Laughs like a madman
A born again Rachman
Here comes Sherrif Fatman"

Never saw the match but saw an interesting quote "How could Mike Ashley get his tactics so wrong, being 2-0 up with 20 minutes to go and still getting beat " biggrinbiggrin

Given the ownership, lose term, structure no, their the fat s. As is everything sadly.

A point would have been fair, but some positives at least.

How’s life in the semi pros Ray? Enjoying towns more inbred than your own?

We're enjoying it aye, its going steadily enough. A few defensive concerns to iron out but we'll bounce back.

I'm jealous of you guys being in the PL, you're obviously having a great time! biggrin

Drowning your sorrows Mr Ellroy? I can't make any sense of the first line. Inbred? my town? I'll remember that next time you come to the Riverside wink
As for semi pros, you give them more credit than they deserve. I've seen some pub league players who wouldn't look out of place in that league, honestly the standard is pretty poor. We seem to be getting quite good at picking up red cards though hehe

Do you reckon that he just dusted off his Jon Hartson and changed the wording?

I enjoyed the last couple of Championship campaigns. Which is good, as we're likely to get another one.
