misguided fool

zayno14 · 12-06-2005, 07:52

He will regret saying that in a few years hehehe

I think its funny really it just shows even top class managers must have heard Stanley being mentioned over the last few years, if he really wanted to take the P*** and say a S*** hopeless club he would have said Barrow hehehehe

Or even worse Shurm, those dreaded cockle pickin words Morcecambe! Wonder if Coley will still be at Stanley when he is 70?

This has got to be the funniest thread in ages - Newcastle, who are they. The only St James Park we play at against Magpies is in Devon I believe

KIPAX · 13-06-2005, 10:27

Instead of slagging him off... Why not take advantage.. show him the error of his ways..

Why doesn't one of you look into contact details for him and invite him to a game... coming from a fan he is more inclined to agree than a Google Page Ranking exercise by the club...

I am too busy.........

We could have some great quotes if he decided to come here, a true legend in football management, Sir Bobby Robson,

The Stories

Reporter to Newcastle's Shola Ameobi: 'Do you have a nickname?'
Ameobi: 'No, not really'
Reporter: 'So what does Bobby Robson call you?'
Ameobi: 'Carl Cort.'

Sir Forgetable:

Alan Brazil: "I'm delighted to say we've got Sir Bobby Robson on the
end of the phone, fresh from getting his knighthood at Buckingham Palace.
Bobby, terrific news."

Sir Bobby Robson: "What is?"

Brazil: "You know, getting the old sword on the shoulder from Prince
Charlie."

Sir Bob: Eh? [Long pause] "Oh yeah... well, it was a day I'll never
forget."

Who’s name is it anyway?:
