So here it is ....

This is the first thread about the Mags that I can't remember that @Grumpy Old Man has started and IIRC we asked him to do it. If we asked him to Villa's or Swindon's he probably would.

I was asked by a large number of people here to do it; that was the only reason I wrote it. I had to write a lot because there was a lot to write about. As for a bit sad, it was my job; writing stuff like this helps keep my hand on as much as anything else.

Hardly!

For one thing, GOM more or less does this stuff on request, rather than belching out minor snippets a la the absurd Martin.

For another, GOM knows what he is talking about.

Unfortunately in this day and age of huge tv revenues finances and the information we are afforded with from the internet club finances gave become hugely important and to an extent interesting.
To call GOM our version of Michael Martin is very disingenuous. He was asked to have a look at the mags accounts by us mere mortals who don't understand the balance sheet as well as he does and he's done a very fair and unbiased job of it.

To be fair he’s been asked to do this so with that title probably thought people would know what the thread is about

Their belts will need to be tighter than the likes of Martin will tolerate, that's for sure. But that's a long way from being deep in the brown and sticky stuff, which is where they would certainly have been if they'd "done a Villa".



Simply put mate, I was asked to do it. So I did.

He was asked to by several people. Good of him to do it imo.

He was asked to do it by a few of us. If you don’t like it don’t read it.

Don't be ridiculous. He does this because he's asked. And he's qualified. Two things that don't apply to dung breath.

Has anyone mentioned he was asked to do it?

Just read your comment not the whole thread. I'll try to do better in future. xx

Apology accepted
 
Just my opinion but not interesting in the slightest, I don't even understand it.

Football is about matches, not "balance sheets"

How you can’t see they’re connected and maybe a “little” bit important after what we’ve just been through is incredible
 
Oh, I guess that a description of me might help you a bit more, righto.

I'm the guy who thinks that you must be an absolute knacker, coming into this thread and posting a heap of abject pish that you aren't even remotely interested in.

As for your excuse of the thread title not pertaining to the content, fair dos, but the second line of the opening post does - did you have to read on from there before the light bulb above your head turned on? Wowza!

How stupid are you? Did your parents have any children that lived?
:lol::lol::lol:
 
Who is "we"? If you're betting against me and decide who wins then its an unfair bet surely?

Also you still haven't shown a proper way of measuring what people find interesting.



Thanks for clearing that up. You are the first poster to mention he had been asked to do this

Isn't it a case of the difference between the analysis done by someone with an axe to grind and someone who hasn't. I have no input to what MM comes out with and you have none that GOM has produced, so less of the theirs and ours. For the record, GOM appears to analyse with balance which would lead me to trust his analysis over MM.
That combined with the fact that Martin doesn't have a single fully functional brain cell.

Gotta get those FMJ quotes in man - I have a quota to fulfil!
You quote like old people fuck
 
Without a doubt, “silk against sack-cloth rags” would be my analogy of the difference in class and CONSIDERED ANALYSIS of “our” Grumpy against one who apparantly was once affiliated with us. Thanks for your expertise and time Grumpy Old Man - which I believe is simply not what/who you really are sir!

Hah! Spend a few hours before and after a match in a pub with me (particularly if we lose), and you might change your mind about that. I can have my moments :)

Ok.

Post #77 ( So here it is .... ) you offered to bet me a pound to a penny (100/1) if one of my threads ( So here it is .... ) has more views, replies, or likes to this one ( So here it is .... )

Tbh I thought it was a silly bet but since you've offered the terms and conditions I will accept your offer...Lets go off replies...

This thread Who's still backing Moyes? has more replies than the one I'm currently posting on.

I'm only willing to bet £1 but that is £100 owed for you unfortunately.

As I am a charitable person I would rather you pay the money owed to charity than to myself.

Charity I have chosen is CancerResearchUK -

Please post proof of £100 donation

Thanks

So you made a post backing Moyes in January when the sensible thing to do was sack him. I wouldn't be congratulating yourself on that one. You thought it was a good idea to diss a good poster whom even two Mags on here have said was unbiased, yet you took offence. You jumped into the clarts two footed and got buried … Well done :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
