Tyrant

Da ken like. He's infamously stubborn and won't do anything he doesn't want to do. I don't think you get that good at something without really wanting it yourself. I think talk of retirement is premature. The media are having a field day and have sent the fans into a hysterical meltdown which is funny but OTT. I'm sure we'll see him back and I think we'll see him compete at the top again.

Aye the SNP designed it. Cunts.

Here was me thinking that cunt was squeaky clean. He's always been a cantankerous cunt.

I blame the SNP for spending on our local infrastructure.

I think every team except Celtic would disagree quite strongly including St. Johnstone.

Steve Clark was a household name when he was Jose's right hand man at Chelsea.

That's got me wondering why we're looking to invest so heavily in a bottomless money pit like training facilities!

Are their attendances nae more than double ours? If their budget was only double ours I'd say it's entirely sustainable tbh.

De Bruyne is my favourite player to watch at the moment. And I think he'll get even better still. He's some boy.

Not sure why Pullis would take the step down tbh.

I would boo him until my throat was hoarse and sore. And then I'd keep booing him.

There was a time a year or two ago (or whenever Big Sam was at West Ham) that he was one of the top 5 paid managers in the world. Absolutely mental. But aye I'm sure he'd be honoured to work for the huns for a pittance.

Fuck sake! I wish I'd held out for the free drink offer!

Also I think you'll find Big Sam is a big Rangers fan and it's a dream come true to accept the Rangers job.

They'd need to pay Palace £2m quid just to give him a job. Da ken about that. Maybe Pardew?

I saw Exeter play once albeit away from home against Leeds.

That's two working days gone.. is no news good news?

No but the name reminds me of this monstrosity:

Sounds fucking painful.

Conveniently brought back on topic there for me to give my opinion on Coyle. Shite manager. Don't rate him at all. In fact I don't trust any manager that has to constantly specify the type of club he's at when he's speaking. "The football club are doing their best to get deals done. We want quality at the football club, not quantity". We fucking know it's a football club. It makes you sound like a fucking wanker and Coyle is one of the worst for it. Along with Pulis. Although unlike Coyle Pulis is a half decent manager. Not much more than half decent like. I was watching the highlights and they showed a brief glimpse of Coyle walking down the touchline and that was when I realised that I'd completely forgotten that he was ever appointed up in Dingwall. A man who's been found out and I predict that County will struggle under him.

Do you see yourself more of a Jose Mourinho type or an Alex Ferguson type when it comes to the mind games? Because I see you as more of a Jimmy Calderwood.

Despite not being willing to dedicate as much time to Donstalk as you do I've debated with you plenty of times. If I remember rightly it was you who avoided it not that long ago. For a while you completely ignored me. It was ace. But aye.. I will point out your hypocrisy when I see it whether it's in other threads or not. You don't have to remind me that you share the same right to post as anyone else. I've voted against banning you in the past on more than one occasion and probably will again at some point in the future. You do manage the occasional entertaining post and sometimes even an enlightening one. Few and far between though because what you mostly do is fish for reactions. It seems to be a game that you enjoy playing. I bet you dinna act like this in "real" life. You'd get a smack about every day from those around you. Where as I'm as graciously humble in real life as I am on DT. Sounds pretty personal for someone who claims it's never personal. That's an awful lot you (unsuccessfully) deduced from a straight forward typo. It's almost as though you had an agenda.

What's always the same, Rocket? And as for the first part I'm not sure what you're referring to and I'm not sure what exactly it is that you're insinuating. This has always been easily the most lenient AFC forum (which is, I suspect, why you're here) and personally I've always tried to moderate as little as possible. If threads are being locked/closed/edited it's unlikely it was me because It's not something I do unless absolutely necessary. (coincidentally enough the last post that met those criteria as far as I remember was from you.) I'm not a huge fan of my words being changed, manipulated or censored in any way and for any reason so if I have to moderate (even on a forum that isn't "real life") I won't take that decision lightly. And it's not about taking myself too seriously. If anything I'm the opposite. I ken you enjoy posting here and it's obvious you don't want that taken away so do yourself a favour and stop seemingly trying your best to get under everyone's skin. I'd have sent this privately but that didn't have much of an effect last time.

Guardiola isn't Spanish. He's Catalan. Recognise.

Agree with this and this is my main concern. As good as Derek has been for us and as stable as we've been I believe he has taken as as far as he can. If there was a suitable replacement available I'd be much less bothered about him going. But I am bothered because I can't see us replacing him with anyone better. That explains a lot. Don't worry about it, Rocket. The Donstalk admins, mods and posters all support you.
