“Charlton chairman Richard Murray has warned Tottenham off any approach for Alan Curbishley with claims that it would cost them £5m in compensation.”
Bless his little socks - now that sounds like a worried man trying to find an angle . . . mind you, if any manager can get Rebrov to perform he’s paid for himself already (if only in a trnsfer fee)

I’m not playing any more politics. It’s just wagon wheels and bovril based posts from now on in.
from the fifa site:
>>>>England have also moved up two places to sixth after September victories over Macedonia and Liechtenstein.>>>>
How the hell does that work then? Beating two two bob (or zloty or whatever) countries moves you up in the rankings? Maybe someone can explain.
Also the sweaties are 53rd, which is shocking. What has happened to scottish football? My guess - cheap east european imports. They are equally ranked with wales. If ingerland played wales tomorrow I am far from sure who would win. If wales played scotland they would get a cricket score.
And £5m for Curbs? - £500k would be closer to the mark (I have never understood why managers don’t attract a transfer fee)
Arsenal and six of their players - plus two from Manchester United - have been charged by the Football Association after the stormy Premiership clash at Old Trafford. >>>>
There’s two kinds of Spurs seasons:
After half a dozen games we look like we could be potential champions.
After half a dozen games we look like surefire candidates for relegation.
Treat these two imposters the same…
We’ll finish 8th.
We always do…
“There’s no lighthearted, entertaining and fun since 1961.” - Philip Larkin.
Hard to say what will happen. I expect that they will all serve some time, and deservedly so. While I thought Arsenal did get the raw end of the calls, I also think that their behaviour at the end of the game was ridiculous, and would hardly be considered reasonable for a schoolboy of ten not to say a grown man and professional to boot.
I think what is most disappointing about Arsenal’s behavious is the fact that they are a fantastically talented side who can play some wonderful football, yet they pull off this nonsense and you just want to punch the wall.
Iversen, his dad is an alchoholic, but I heard that in an inteview with him(Odd that is) and it’s rather different since Odd was a good footballer as well, and I’ve never a fan comment on it even though I should if anyone said anything. I usually watch the PL games at an English pub where there are lots of Brits and they seem to be interrested in dicussing football and not the private lives of players. They might seem like the wrong crowd to you but I rather like them.
The Tottenham fans have a deal through their supporter club, I have the same from the Arsenal supporter club in Norway and I would love to go there to see Arsenal play but I haven’t got the money(can pick two of these: food, place to live, go to see Arsenal).
I’m not sure what 5) means. That I haven’t got the right to have an opinion because I don’t have money?
And finaly, I am not telling you how to support your team, I am telling you how to behave in MPSIMS. I am not easily offended but I expect different behavior in a MPSIMS thread and a Pit thread, if this was in the Pit I could not complain. If you want to you can start a thread in the Pit.
Thank you for stopping the gay comments.
**
This is all fine and what I object to is that this behaviour is in MPSIMS and that it isn’t in the OP. If you post a thread in the Pit that’s fine with me but when I am in MPSIMS I have other expectations.(You can post your Gazza comment in the Pit too, I don’t care.)
And while the commentator understood football he didn’t comment on the English players sexual preferences or rumours about their relatives because he knew that randio wasn’t the right place.
Arsenal and Manchester United.
Keown, Lauren will get suspension, 2 to 3 matches, and a fine
Cole an Parlour might get suspension but I don’t think so, they the other Arsenal players and the Manchester United players will get a fine/slap on the wrist but no suspension.
The Kerb Crawlers Blue and White Army !The Kerb Crawlers Blue and White Army ! . . another couple of weeks of this and I might celebrate by buying a flashers raincoat - it was a defensive shambles but at least we won.
Uncomfortable seeing a mature man grovelling for his jobs at the feet of discontented star players. Perhaps I’m being unkind and perhaps the possibility of Owen leaving doesn’t give him that much power ?
Leaving aside his private life, the thought of David Pleat back managing again brings back some horrid memories, and is enough to make my skin crawl. The man is inept beyond belief. Forget O’Neill if he won’t come now, get someone else in as quickly as possible for your own good!
Well that is the most grateful for a 0-0 result I’ve been since Glenn was England Manager against Italy!
How they didn’t get a cricket score is beyond me.
Re: The Kerb Crawler:
The revisionist re-writing of Pleats reign as THFC is as bad as anything in Stalin’s Russia. THis is the man who thought that Johnny Metgod was a replacement for Hoddle and who sold Graham Roberts and used the money to buy Chris Fairclough.
He wasn’t a good manager, he was, and continues to be, a lightweight with a lucky streak.
Hey, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with ‘kerb crawling’ – wouldn’t even be a criminal offence, I suspect, without the Daily Mail, etc. Harmless - joshing at a personal predilection as per Gazza’s pies.
All this paper talk is just so much space filler. I’m glad the public field is narrowing down in the way I’d like it to (Curbs or O’Neil), I just hope that’s what’s also happening behind the scenes - also very nice of Curbs to say he worries about becoming “stale . . . after 13 years”, etc. That’s handy.
Yesterday was terrible; top 6 attack, Div One midfield, Conference defence (Keller aside) – has Richards been lobotomised, has Hoddle so sapped Gardner’s confidence he’s become the living dead ?
Good news: The class on the flanks of both of Ricketts and Dalmet.
Anyone else seen detail of that £1 a minute recorded message of someone phoning George Graham, pretending to be from Spurs and offering him the job? Splendid initiative – Graham apparently asks the Spurs man to phone his agent which he does, but only after Graham speaks to him first . . . .
Looks like the predicted three horse race is firming up, surely it’s going to be nip and tuck most of the season. I’m still on ManUre, for what it’s worth.
Completely off-topic, but Seeing London Calling’s name reminded me that on Saturday we had the house to ourselves (kids were with the childcatcher) and so we played some of our old records (actual 12" black records) including London’s Calling. It’s still fecking brilliant!
Can’t Chicago Reader be sued if you falsly accuse someone?
You may want to ask a mod.
If not then this would certainly be relevant as one team might loose 6 players for the rest of the season, but I think we should be careful untill we know more.
From what I am told (my wife is a journalist on the paper that got the story) there’s nothing “alleged” about it, but suppose its a bit like the Ulrika thing - best be careful I suppose.
