[Airdrie Programme Yesterday]

Yes, yes, we'll need to take this one on the chin - unbelievable **** up from somebody, and the official excuse is horribly lame:

Still, we did manage to get something right by going to the expense of getting strips made up with poppies on them.

 

How did your own tributes turn out?

[Ian Mccall]

This makes for pretty grim reading - in fact the first page was uncanny: swap the name "Ian McCall" for "Kenny Black" and it's pretty much word-for-word identical to a thread on the Stomp last year.

 

Obviously we don't have our troubles to seek either, but it's not nice seeing Thistle like this. All the best

[Chelsea]

I love Man U. I also love Liverpool. I've a soft spot for Nottingham Forest, and Spurs to a lesser extent. And Villa (my great uncle was the chief scout there when I was a wee boy).

 

I'm sure all this just reflects growing up in the 70s and early 80s. My team have always been West Ham, though.

[Chelsea]

Another forum where we can't say H*ns, eh?

[Chelsea]

Ashley Cole, brought the Arsenal youth system and a self confessed Arsenal fan who had been since he was a boy. He was given his chance by Wenger, he was adored by the Arsenal fans and he loved playing for Arsenal. He then almost crashed his car when Arsenal only offered him £60k per week and not the £65k he wanted. He promptly goes to Chelsea for a few more bob, he sold out, this is something that sums up what is wrong with these over priced morons.Captain fantastic insists on being the highest paid player at Chelsea and will never leave the club and is blue through and through…as long as he keeps on being the highest paid player at the club…oh and don’t mind me whilst I hear exactly how many tens of thousands pounds more Man City want to offer me per week,,,but I’m only curious, I would never leave Chelsea, I bleed blue, blah blah blah.These two players demonstrate as well as any how money is ruining football and how footballers are greedy overpaid numpties who prostitute themselves out to the higest bidder. And before any borefiends come out with the usual ‘you would move jobs for more money’, if I was coining in that kind of money and was in their position I wouldn’t, you already have more money than you could ever need.As for the Rangers connection, I was told this morning by a Rangers fan who was at the game yesterday that “there were loads of Chelsea tops in the crowd as well” and then you have the other links mentioned above.

 

I was going to write my own lengthy post explaining why I loathe Chelsea, but this one will do instead. Horrible team.

 

The game on Sunday was another example of how over-hyped the EPL is when you get the gumph about it being the 'best league in the world'. Chelsea beat a top 10 team (Stoke) 7-0, Wigan 8-0 and the 6th placed team 7-1. Don't get me wrong, Chelsea played out of their skin, but to suggest that these teams they're beating could compete is a complete nonsense. Too much money for too little product in that league, and it'll implode eventually.

 

I agree with this too - and there's a bizarre hypocrisy going on in the media down South right now, with them snickering about the SPL being like a pub league because of a 6-6 result, whilst fawning all over the English H*ns for putting 29 goals past top flight opposition in four matches. Errrr, 8-0 is the epitomy of a Sunday League result!

 

Hate Chelsea, hate Rangers, hate Celtic, hate Livingston. In that order.

I think we'll take Brechin (yet again) before losing to Alloa in the final.

[Ayr Down]

Didn't Airdrie lose playoff games to Clyde and Ayr?

 

That says relegated to me.

 

 

Does it now? How could we possibly be relegated from the 1st Division when we weren't in it in the first place??? Check your facts - this "Airdrie survived two relegations" drivel is an utter myth.

 

Anyway, I'll be staggered if we win the play-offs. Yesterday Kenny Black reverted to his tried and tested "draw at all costs" policy - despite the fact it's been a complete failure for several years. The ONLY reason we started winning games was because we got so desperate for points trying to draw matches was no longer viable, so he sent the team out to actually, you know, score goals. Turns out after all this time we're actually quite good at it.

 

Yesterday, knowing a draw could see us finish 8th, we reverted to type. We were dreadful.

 

The other main difference in our season has been, absurdly enough, bringing Paul Lovering back into the fold. Yes, it shows how hard up when we are when a guy who was past it two seasons ago makes all the difference. This is a guy who looks done in after the WARM UP, but he drives the team on like nobody else I've seen in many years.

 

I find it hard to imagine Kenny Black winning anything, to be honest.

[Ayr Down]

Airdrie have been saved after relegation both the last two seasons by others misfortune (Gretna/Livingston) I think they will make it a hat-trick with Killie being relegated and going bust.

 

 

We haven't ben relegated the past two seasons. Try again.

 

Hi folks!!
