Matt Upson ruled out for 3 months

I think i am in the minority that thinks that Rio is an absolutely great signing

You know what ed- I was absolutely against signing him.

Ive now changed my mind after seeing what else he has brought to the club off the pitch.
The level of proffesionalism and commmitment he has added is immese. He can validly challlenge anyone opinions on any subject being as hes won every domestic trophy there is to win ...multiple times

Can you imagine Adel, Barton or SWP even having the front to doubt him? He'll just start listing medals won..
Only Cesar comes close and he'll be gone anyway.

I reckon well get a decent half season of games out of him, but he got us Caulker & Mutch and they are both quality. he's repayed his transfer fee already as we have 2 good assets

im hoping he'll have the same effect that Gullit had on chelsea (no I AM NOT COMPARING THEM) in that he will attract other younger top class players to have a look and maybe come to us or at least consider us seriously.

Obviously we need to stay up first and formost, and a team with Green, Caulker, Isla, Mutch, Remy etc would be seen as a team worth considering... <ok>

So in short, I think he will turn out to be a bonus, even if its not on the pitch.
 
H on Rio Ferdinand's impact

&#8220;He's had a fantastic impact. He's just a class act around the place. He's been there and done it. He's a big influence on Steven Caulker and all the players. They look at how he trains and how he works. He lives his life right, is in great condition and is a model professional.&#8221;

Of course we could've had Upson !!

... don't think he'd have joined you ... with us he's an esteemed senior pro looked up to by a myriad of young talent ... with you he'd have just been 'one of the lads' <laugh>.. Warmington-On-Sea FC <whistle>
 
"Who do you think you are kidding Mr Grifter
Rio's now too old to run
Caulker's the 'boy' to prop up your ailing game
But Charlie's Austin Healey's failed its' MOT again
Cause who do you think you are kidding Mr Grifter
If you think old Richard's Dunne

Joey B's out on the town 'tho hardly twenty-one
And Harry he''s a 'geeze'r with a dog that likes a bung (allegedly)
So watch out Mr Grifter cos we've more than got you sussed
And Hoddle's just a Saga rep who's climbed on board your bus
Cause who do you think you are kidding Mr Grifter
If you think old Richard's Dunne"

Queenie...no need. And don't try to make out you're paraphrasing either, because you're clearly not.

What a crime to follow FF's brilliance with this drivel.
 
Bit to close to the truth ?

Yeah copy and pasting chants is pure brilliance... <doh>

have you not heard this chant with names changed before?

Not sure where you get the 'copying and pasting' chants from Queenie <laugh> ... it's the theme tune from the TV series 'Dad's Army' with a little poetic licence ... personally I have never heard it 'chanted' at a football match ... if it 'feels' familiar to you it is likely that you have heard it on the telly <laugh> and it would seem to me a quote from Captain Mainwaring it appropriate at this point ................ "stupid boy" <laugh>
 
And that makes it acceptable...how?

Because i am taking the piss out of myself.... <doh>

Wake up mate. i hope you are not one of these PC lefties who continually embarras us with your correctness and standing up for our rights.

Just for the record, we dont need help from others in regards to our etnic origins or rights. A lot of the rules and work done actuall embarrases my culture and makes life harder for us.

You would know if you understood 1 thanks for the help but we're ok <ok>
