Are we starting to believe he is more than interested in us?
Certainly hope so my friend. I hope half of your winnings is coming to me ;)

Re: Chelsea reject Terry offer [Merged]
A couple of weeks ago, somebody on here suggested that ADUG's stratergy mirrored a famous book called 'The Art of War' by Sun Tzu - an instruction book on stratergy used by successful Generals at times of war. Intrigued, I bought a copy off Amazon this week and have just started to read it.
What has struck me is in the section 'Waging War'.
In it, Sun Tzu suggests 'a wise General makes a point of foraging on the enemy - one cartload of the enemy's provisions is equivalent to twenty of one's own'.
My interpretation of this (and you may disagree) is that if you take your enemy's assets, you not only strengthen yourself, but weaken your enemy and the benefit is multiplied.
Take that philosophy into our supposed transfer dealings this summer and consider who are our strongest rivals for a top 6 / top 4 finish? Also, consider which members of their squads are seen as integral to their success:
Aston Villa - Gareth Barry?
Everton - Lescott?
Chelsea - John Terry?
Arsenal - Kolo Toure?
That just leaves the scum and the dippers - bids for Rooney/Wio/Gerrard/Torres next?
Just a thought...........

Having spent almost 35 years following Gods Own Team I find all this speculation from the press very stressfull. To be honest, nobody knows who's in the frame, who's not, and right now our club has moved on from letting things slip to the press, they will be keeping all this under wraps with other clubs feeding snippets into the arena. I have two ex players, one over the road and one who's wife my wife has grown up with who I can call friends., believe me, even they don't fully know who's to arrive and leave. I for one will just wait for the arrival in a blue shirt until I belive anything!!!!!
RAG!!
J/k welcome!
Fuck the biased media, fuck the top 4 and fuck they're fans, infact just fuck the fucking lot of em.

Very good post.
Whilst making us stronger we weaken our rivals at the same time.
Even if bids for rival players are unsuccessful, rival clubs are still weakened by being forced to pay increased wages.
We are about to rock the very foundations of world football!
