Grumpy Git

Administrators take the "Johnson Approach".

Their chief goal is to make sure they come out of this smiling.

I enjoyed the commentary tonight. It was funny when Rams TV cut to the fans and there was a giant dildo being passed around, and Owen Bradley was like at least the fans are enjoying themselves.

Did it have Gibsons face painted on the glans?

Gibson’s “cheating” rhetoric hasn’t helped. Ever since that statement I see “Derby cheated” everywhere, never saw that before.

He knows we don't have the funds to sue him for defamation. Tactics of the playground bully.

Rooney doesn't deserve the crap he's getting thrown at him.

The parallels with our esteemed leaders are sickening. ?

Belly button fluff always being bluey / grey...........

I'd make an appointment at the doctors.

Be quicker if I quoted the stuff that doesn't annoy me.

Bottom cover on our new boiler is a poor fit and falls-off at the drop of a hat. I calls Worcester-Bosch for a replacement and the operator makes me hold-on for ages whilst she speaks to "an engineer". Comes back with "we need to send an engineer out to fit it with some new clips". I say you must have the wrong part as its just a plastic cover that slots into place, no clips involved. "No" she says, "we definitely need an engineer to fit the parts ..........................."

Yesterday the "engineer" (another wind-up, they are not engineers, they are technicians) turns-up with completely the wrong parts and will come back on Friday! So more pi55ing about waiting. Its easier to fit than a battery cover on a TV remote control, no wonder the boilers are so effing expensive.

So Gove has stated that 97% of the PPE purchased was "fit for purpose".

If £8.7 billion has been written-off on crap that was unsuitable, I make the total spend on PPE £290 billion, (that's approx. £4,500 for every man woman and child in the UK, just on PPE).

More porkies.

Apparently all 3 arbiters will be Barristers which gives me more confidence as there will be no bias just the facts .

Hey ho 

Knowing our luck, that's an unfortunate typo and the the Middlesbrough branch of Starbucks will be three staff short that week?

Insert political joke about response to the Grey report 

You mean the new Farrow & Ball colour "Sue Grey" - Designed to cover-up everything.

Not much different here, other than to further reinforce that the EFL will eventually be under some serious scrutiny.

Pragmatism my ar5e.

Parry wouldn't understand pragmatism if it smacked him in the face.

Mmmh. Without wishing to make you more grumpy I really do think that unlikely. I wouldn't be happy to be proved wrong either.

It's from a very reliable source.

Fancy us helping-out a club like City!

I've heard the administrators have sold our 15% sell-on clause for Delap back to Man City for £250,000 in order to raise funds. I don't know when this happened though.

Apparently City knocked-back a recent £15,000,000 bid from Dortmund. All pie in the sky, but that would have netted us an extra £2,000,000 if it had gone through.

We've not got a pot to pi55 in!

It's a pity Brentford pipped-us to sign Eriksson......

Image him and Beilik with BUPA as shirt sponsors.

EFL standing rule #795, subsection 6:

Any player not able to complete 20 press-ups on transfer deadline day cannot be selected for the rest of the season.

Problem is if it did actually dislocate, even if it popped back in,  then there could be complications - stretched ligaments, trapped nerves/blood vessels

I dislocated my knee, popped it back in but the joint wasn't stable because of the stretched ligaments - had to be in plaster for 5 weeks to stop it popping out again while stuff healed

An elbow would be less important in terms of being able to play football, but even if immobilised/strapped I'd question the wisdom of playing contact sport!

 

 

 

 

A bit of spit and a rub, n it'll be rayt as rain tomorrer.

Deffo nobody on the pitch in a one-legged pair of jeans as far as I could tell. 

Merseyside (having fun winding-up the Nevertonians now WR is staying here).

Don't know if it's already reported on here, but Frank has been offered the Everton job.

Parry isn't just a tool, he's the full height Snap-On cabinet.

Any chance of having buckets outside the ground as well.

Might be a good idea to stop PP getting flooded with supporters tears.?

The whole honours system is a total pisstake.

Why should there be a "lesser" gong for mere mortals, yet civil servants get knighted for doing their job (or not doing it in a lot of cases).

Going back to Boro's statement, they called us "cheats", I'm sure that is against the EFL rules?

I'm convinced Gibson is relying on a settlement from us to avoid FFP himself, oh the irony. 

?

If Boro's claim was to succeed, can we assume that in the strange world of football, a 'Gibson' would become the new Bosman?
