milnerpoint Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Its the FA cup this weekend...... I think last time they lost 3 in a row was the year Southampton beat them 6-2, i think anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomtuck01 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 96/97. 5-0 at Newcastle, 6-3 at Southampton, and 2-0 i think at Chelsea. I think we have lost three in a row since but i don't recall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

milnerpoint Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Yeah it was given that terrible name by the Glaswegians who have suffered the most, i think some girl came up with it on twitter or something. Phillie Albert, the silkiest centre half ever to live!! I'm sure that goal was voted in the top 50 goals of all time recently. Whatever happened to him? After Newcastle he dissapeared.

heathxxx Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Favourite young prospect of many an FM'er, Khoumar Babacar of Fiorentina, could be on his way to Granada CF! Latest reports suggest he'll join initially on loan, with a clause to buy permanently at the end of the season. Fiorentina apparently want €10m and Granada are haggling to get him for €6m. Hard to believe he's still only 18. There was some brief excitement at rumours Javier Saviola was on his way to Granada, but that's not happening. Club and player have denied the rumours. Personally, I'm more excited at the prospect of seeing Babacar than Saviola. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

heathxxx Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 What about Chamakh? Granada were interested in him in the summer weren't they? Will they be trying to sign him again this window? Granada actually agreed a deal with Arsenal for the loan of Chamakh in the summer, but the player said "no". Claimed he'd never heard of the place. The club I can accept, having been outside the Primera for 35 years, but the city? There's always been very large Moroccan population here in Granada, dating right back to the Moors and the Alhambra. Either he's crap at geography or just simply didn't fancy coming to a club tipped for relegation. I'd say the latter Either way, I'll be happier if Granada get Babacar. Especially if they can tie up a permanent deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD nawrat Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I haven't posted in here since 2011, so Happy New Year guys! Has everyone had a pleasant start to 2012, I hope? Regarding bawbag and living near Glasgow myself, I'm sure the highest recorded wind was 111mph on 5.1.12, it's not been nearly as bad since (hardly noticeable, in fact). A lot of fallen trees and bins blowing down streets. Make Scotland look worse, that's the last thing we need. I'm sure I heard on the radio last night that a building in Glasgow city centre and the street that said building is on were closed off because the wind has caused trouble to the structure of the building and it's been rendered "unsafe". Scary stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
heathxxx Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Suzi my ever faithful pitbull, sadly died last night. She'd been a fabulous dog, so quite upset today. Found her six years ago and took her in after she'd been abandoned in the village where I lived at the time. She was suffering from Canine Leishmaniasis, a horrible disease, but we managed to get it under control. Whilst it's never possible to cure the disease completely, under control a dog can live a normal healthy life. For six years she's had a lovely life and has been probably the most good natured and gentle dog I've ever know, despite her being a pitbull and with the very much misunderstood reputation of the breed. I can only speak from experience that with love, attention and responsibility, the females of the breed are a great family dog. Before I'd had Suzi, if you'd asked me if I'd wanted a pitbull, the reputation would probably have dissuaded me. She was in that bad shape when first we found her though, we actually didn't know what breed she was. She turned out to be fantastic though, even more so considering she'd been an abandoned dog. Very easy to train and very faithful, it's easy how irresponsible imbeciles can train them to be bad. We never knew her exact age, but thought she was about four or five when we found her, making her about eleven when she died. Pretty old for a pitbull I'm told. Unfortunately she'd developed a minor heart condition and the stress of an illness can cause the Canine Leishmaniasis to return. That's what happened unfortunately and in the last couple of weeks, despite our best efforts, she just couldn't fight it this time. I was sat holding her when she died last night, with her leaning against me as she always liked to do. Always sad to loose a pet, as they become a part of the family and I'll really miss Suzi. She was a lovely dog. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandui Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Sorry to hear that Heath, always horrible when dogs die. I remember my last dog; we had taken her in from a shelter as she hadn't been properly looked after and was in a bad way, eventually managed to nurse her back to health and she died aged 17! At least you gave her 6 good years from when you found her Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
heathxxx Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 We've still got Taffy, a 16 year old Welsh Border Collie who came over with my folks when they moved to Spain. We've also got Minnie, a Podenco Andaluz who we also found abandoned and pregnant. She's about 4 years old now. Two of her seven pups, Buster and Timmy, we've still got and they're both 2 years old now. All of them we're sniffing around looking for Suzi this morning. Suzi did have a great life with us though.
