I think this sums up why so many people are joining TBAR including lots of people who used to post here. Arrogant, condescending put downs for anyone who has a different point of view to the self aggrandising elite. Go back to the start of this thread and many here were ridiculing the whole take-over story as bullshit. Now it's been proven correct attention seems to have been switched to TBAR'S take on the finer details of who our potential new owners will be and when it will happen. Some folks will look pretty silly if Larry Ellison or Phil Anschults is announced over the next couple of weeks. Anyway, I won't be posting here again, which is sad because there are some good people on H&V, so cheerio and all the best.

It's an Internet forum mate, not the bloody Bloods and the Crips.

Yeah, that's TBAC. It gets really, really naughty in there.

Every single one of you are going to look like bell ends when it's revealed that it's Noel Edmonds taking over after his failed attempts of buying the BBC. I've said this since. Eejits, fools, the lot of you.

Anyone done any 'your mom' jokes yet towards TBAR, i swear they said something about our mom.

TBAR's mom is so fat she thought ITK was like a BLT and tried to eat it.

Agree on that. It's a bit like having the final line in an argument - I don't know - like my missus saying as a closing line: "that sausage casserole I made last night - that wasn't sausage"

I don't care where people post, just as long as it's not nasty, argumentative or disrespectful to anyone.


It's like when people post repeatedly about how they're not renewing their season ticket. Just do it.

There's a potential new thread right there.

Back on topic, rumors that PL will be leaving us in next few days from someone called Hippo on VT not sure if he's proper itk but they seem to believe him.

Anyway if he did leave would that mean a return for Bent, Nzogbia and Hutton? Slate me as much as you want but Nzogbia has skills, Hutton is well hate to say it but by far the best RB we have (watched him for scotland) and Bent is severely lacking confidence, new manager could bring him back to life, he's in his prime 29 and just 2 1/2 years ago was worth 24m. Also the experience could be vital during the sale process.

I agree with you on CNZ, but to be honest, I think those three are going to be history.

I think N'Zog has something to offer, but whatever we think of Bent he's not in his prime now.

In the short term at least, the squad should be stronger in August that it was in May, even without a few loan signings and cheap deals to bolster it.

Okore, CNZ, Kozak would all be starters.

Bent's worked for four different managers this season and none of them could bring him back to life. Sadly I think his time at the top is over. If Hutton is the best RB we've got, the answer isn't to put him in the team, it's to go and get a new RB very, very quickly. N'Zogbia - I think it's largely down to him - a fully motivated and fit N'Zogbia would be an asset.
