Sparky in the LET: Oh no! Where have we heard that before! but ... Well, thank bu99ery for that! Thought we had GS mk 2 there for a sec!

I was miost amused when I went to Watford a few seasons ago. I went straight from work, dressed in a suit, tie and overcoat. Was captured on video. I must obviously be one dodgy-looking geezer.

If we go down, I'm blaming it on Edward III invading Scotland.

I still haven't heard this Blackburn Hooligans Joke! Does it start off something like: "A Rovers fan, and irishman and a scotsman, were down the pub trying to get the irishman's pickaxe out of a bystander's head when ..."

You *do* slag everyone's opinion - you go around picking fights and needling people with sarcastic responses. I'd only criticise someone's opinion if I thought they had a hidden agenda (or not-so-hidden in Jan's case), I don't tend to make a habit of it, as it doesn't suit my sunny disposition.

I'd love to have a job like that. "OK, the last bloke in made a bobbins of it, and we want you to sort out the mess. You won't have any budget to improve things until January, and if it's not sorted by May, you will have failed, but don't worry, we'll blame the last guy." What absolute balls. Some people are in danger of looking like religious zealots. They have a real boner for slagging Souness. Not that I have any time for him, but perhaps it's now time to move on. If Hughes operates to the standard template he'll start off with locking up the back-door, and then worry about scoring goals afterwards. But it hardly needs that as we aren't out of September yet! Bloody hellfire.

Yes, Souness was crap (for the last 12 months at least), but he was only in charge for the first four games. Yes, they're all his players, but guess what, the transfer window opens in January! Yes we're near the bottom, but we've only played five games. If we go down and you blame Souness I can only think you're being extraordanarily petty and vindictive.

Perhaps it needs circumcising?

So, everyone's sad to see Graeme go, then?!

What's the betting we play Matteo at left back, de Pedro up front, Gresko at right wing and Short in goal?

Oh, stop being a painful get, effing honestly. Whine whine whine muddy funking whine. Give it a rest, dude!

Souness is on a 5 year deal at Newcastle, don't think it's rolling. Could be expensive to terminate, that! :-))

I do hope they're the bendy disposable ones.

Oh come on! Surely he can afford a season ticket on the train from Macclesfield? What were Wales paying him in? Leeks?!

Bombay is now known as Mumbai, but I'm fairly certain you can still call it Bombay?

It's teh Hughesy Worm - you're best off just shutting down and forgetting about it!

Really? News to me!

It's a lower case "c" if you look properly and pronounced keltic instead of seltic. So the Celtic Race isn't a definite article then? Ooops, my mistake, was using it in that sense. But at least I didn't think that Martin O'Neil sits in the Welsh Assembly! Apologies Alan, I thought the Celts were Irish/ Scottish only. Stand corrected.

Am I right in thinking that he may not have been dithering, but was waiting to be asked? How does anyone really know what's going on anyway, time to judge is when one of the parties actually says something in public. I didn't know the Welsh were Celtic?!

If he doesn't need a "mentor figure" at international level, why have one at club level?

Nice status!

Qatari man stuck in music shop in Lyme Regis!

Don't be so harsh on the little fellow, let's have a Hughesy forum! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! Hughesy! I appoint myself moderator - post away Mr Hughesy!

Keith Newton was on teh right back list, although I thought he played left back? (Having said that, I voted for him thinking that I must be losing my memory ...)

Souness quote: "Nobody can manage this club being a shrinking violet," said Souness. "You need somebody with stature and personality. A guy wouldn't survive here if he didn't have something about him." "and if you have anything about you ..."
