The Goalkeeper who cost Saints £20m

A neat article here:

Love this;

So why were you so happy sitting on your useless ass for 5 years doing nothing?

 

Christ Forecast is not only useless, he's a twat as well.

 

Ha, by all accounts he is having a mare this afternoon. Chelmsford 0-3 Hayes and Yeading.

He's playing badly. Chelmsford won this fixture 6-2 last season.

 

Thought you would realise that I did say I saw him in town carrying wads of cash waving it about.

 

He deserves the 'Bell end of the year award', but he'd probably drop it?

 

FT: Chelmsford City 0-4 Hayes & Yeading


Ouch.

 

Only conceded 4? He's definitely getting better.

 

They don't call him Tommy Fourpast for nothing!

Such a bad article. He sounds like a right twat.

 

Tommy Forecast is the best goalkeeper in the world isn't he?

That's what Tommy Forecast told me anyway...

 

Rupert Lowe is to negotiating what Nicola Cortese is to giant truck racing.

 

Not the greatest footballer....agreed. But why would you call him a "twat"? I thought he came across very well in that article.

 

He's off the field attitude is what would earn him the accolade of being called a twat I believe. I have heard many a report that he acted like he was the 'big I am' when in public.

 

Or the fact he pushed himself to the forefront of our promotion celebrations, as well as Gillinghams, despite not playing a match.

 

Because he was happy?

 

This brings to mind the story of Yvonne Elliman who insisted on being paid £100 for singing the part of Mary Magdalene in Jesus Chris Superstar rather than be paid a share of the royalties. Apparently that nice Mr Rice and his friend Mr Lloyd Webber did eventually pay her royalties out of the goodness of her heart. Can you see Tottenham saying what a real shame it all was, and how really horrible it was to put the squeeze on Southampton in times of crisis and sending over a cheque for £20m? Neither can I.

Still, as "one that got away" stories this must be the daddy.

 

I swear I've heard that he's had fights with people in nightclubs?

James Buckley (Jay from The Inbetweeners) went to school with him, according to his Twitter. James looks about 20 and Tommy looks about forty!

 

he used to chat up girls in town with "im a footballer, don't you know who I am?" twat

 

Haha

 

For me, the lost % add on represents something rather important from our past. Something I'm disappointed in, & also something I'm proud of. Losing Bale & losing the sell on eventually led us to the road we now travel. I take comfort in the fact that it may well make Rupert feel far more uncomfortable than us fans about it......but then, I'm sure its nothing a round of hockey & a duck hunt wouldn't cure.

 

Maybe, but I bet it worked sometimes
