The General C. Krulak Thread XIV

[dave.woodhall]

General. why are you having a go at Pauliewalnuts? Probably one of our most loyal fans. Someone who follows the club home and away.

We were utterly cack (a Midlands word for shit) for most of the game today, we are allowed to mention this on an internet forum aren't we?

General, I have the utmost respect for you, but please do not come onto OUR forum and tell us what we can and can't say about the club we have invested a huge amount of our time and money following.

One of the most senseless and ignorant posts I've seen since the inception of message boards.

Any more of that and you won't be seeing anything else on here.

Strange how different these posts are being interpreted. I also thought the post by DC was completely insensitive. I'm sure the recipient also thought the post was insensitive.

It appears the interpretation of this thread is as divisive as opinions on the teams' season.

Whatever the post may or may not have been, there was no call for such a reply.

I am very unclear now who is arguing for what.

General, the only possible view to take on this is that you aren't a proper H&V poster until you've been embroiled in a ridiculous petty argument in which noone can really remember what it was they were originally arguing about.   A rite of passage, if you like.

[Risso]

Can we get back to the original point of the thread.

Questions to the General please.

[ckrulak]

General Krulak here:

1.  Dave Cooper:  No harm, no foul.  Passions run high.  Onward and upward!!!!

2.  Not sure where the rumors are coming from re. no spend from Randy....certainly not from the Club or the Manager.  I think the key is to look at the "track record" and let the actions speak for themselves.  I can assure you, this is not something that Randy would or should hold a press conference about.  The last thing in the world we want to do is tip our hand before the summer.  Not buying a ST based upon a rumor makes little sense to me.

[Mazrim]

I think, General, that a lot of mischief in the press stems from MON being quoted as saying he had to sell before he could buy in January.

Of course, the media picked up that ball and ran with it and dreamed up all sorts of scenarios. Redknapp said the same sort of things in January but you can bet the media wont be talking about Spurs as having no money to spend this summer.

Fair enough, I'll reel my neck in!

[Dave Cooper please]

Thanks General.

How about a fresh start? (Not being funny)

Typical bird; you would say that. *wink*

General I know randy likes to stay in the background but it would be nice to hear from him now and again, I'm sure a letter to fans on the website would be a good idea now and again, there seems to be a lot of rumours around the club but a statement from randy would go a long way to quelling these rumours.

We have had a good season again and although critical of mons selections and tactics at times I am now feeling optimistic for the future if we can get 2 top quality signings in the summer.
Keep up the good work general and let's look forward to some silverware next season!

Exactly. Martin is hardly likely to come out and say he has £20m to spend is he? It'll put the prices up on any players he does want. Randy will support Martin, and I think the talk of Young and/or Milner going is bollocks. As we get better, our better players are bound to attract attention from the sky 4 or Man Shi££y. The media will spin that into anything they want.

General is there any chance of getting bigger shirts in next year for us fattys? The 3XL looks like it's painted on. I haven't been a able to buy one for 5 years. Could we get a limited run of 4/5 XL?

I echo Fatty's thoughts above.
A mate of mine needs a very large top and I need to get him one for his Birthday.
