there is a difference (to me)

To a decent price structure, and some rather panicky and gimmicky things such as "free season ticket if we don't go up" wouldn't you say?

Say what you like about our board (NCFC) - megson, Mar 8, 11:18:38
- Hang on (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 8, 11:29:37
  - there is a difference (to me) (NCFC) - megson, Mar 8, 11:36:20
  - I think the general theme is (NCFC) - pants, Mar 8, 11:36:12
    - which is put much better than i did (NCFC) - megson, Mar 8, 11:40:31
      - It may be simplistic and wrong (NCFC) - CheatingcuntBywater, Mar 8, 11:58:40
        
        mainly because (NCFC) - megson, Mar 8, 12:09:50
        
        Well you are entitled to your opinion (NCFC) - CheatingcuntBywater, Mar 8, 12:15:39
        
        I think he was what we needed (NCFC) - megson, Mar 8, 12:32:59
        
        his strengths were(are) scoring goals (NCFC) - blindasabat, Mar 8, 12:19:30
        
        Three more than (NCFC) - CheatingcuntBywater, Mar 8, 12:21:33
        
        not exactly true though is it (NCFC) - blindasabat, Mar 8, 12:27:44
        
        Depends on what time frame you look at I suppose (NCFC) - CheatingcuntBywater, Mar 8, 12:37:01
        
        i'm using the 90 minutes per match timeframe (n/m) (NCFC) - blindasabat, Mar 8, 12:44:56
        
        Whereas I'm using the (NCFC) - CheatingcuntBywater, Mar 8, 12:50:47
        
        during which Howard's played 10 more games to get 3 less goals (NCFC) - blindasabat, Mar 8, 13:00:39
        
        My mistake then (NCFC) - CheatingcuntBywater, Mar 8, 13:04:20
        
        Earnie was bought to score goals (which he's done in spades) (NCFC) - blindasabat, Mar 8, 13:22:00
        
        Circular argument (NCFC) - CheatingcuntBywater, Mar 8, 13:45:59
        
        table hare (NCFC) - blindasabat, Mar 8, 14:06:49
        
        Earnshaw wasn't what we needed, granted ... (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Mar 8, 12:18:54
        
        Will anyone pay big for Earnie in the summer after this injury? (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 8, 12:27:00
        
        I love Little Ern (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 8, 12:01:38
        
        And this is where the board's policy fails (NCFC) - CheatingcuntBywater, Mar 8, 12:09:16
        
        was thinking the other day that next season could be a right laugh (NCFC) - pants, Mar 8, 12:11:24
        
        Won't happen though (NCFC) - CheatingcuntBywater, Mar 8, 12:18:18
        
        Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if a big team offered us 10m for martin (NCFC) - pants, Mar 8, 12:20:45
        
        £10m is fantasy (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 8, 12:24:38
        
        Is it? (NCFC) - CheatingcuntBywater, Mar 8, 12:27:47
        
        That's the thing isn't it (NCFC) - pants, Mar 8, 12:29:04
        
        If martin ended the season on 10+ goals (NCFC) - pants, Mar 8, 12:25:51
        
        hopefully he'll have the sense that stay (NCFC) - megson, Mar 8, 12:38:30
        
        Bear in mind Aston Villa just paid £9.5m for Ashley Young ... (n/m) (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Mar 8, 12:25:21
        
        oh yeah, and him :s (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Mar 8, 12:26:38
        
        That's a tricky one (NCFC) - CheatingcuntBywater, Mar 8, 12:22:17
        
        Grant substituted Croft for the crime of a backheel against a non-league team (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Mar 8, 12:13:52
        
        substitution was dumb (NCFC) - megson, Mar 8, 12:45:45
        
        That substitution is the only thing Grant has done which REALLY pissed me off (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 8, 12:22:36
        
        Hmmmmmmmmm (NCFC) - CheatingcuntBywater, Mar 8, 12:25:39
        
        Yes, those things were much worse (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 8, 12:28:57
        
        Calm down dear (NCFC) - CheatingcuntBywater, Mar 8, 12:38:38
        
        That must make him unique (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 8, 12:40:09
        
        No. Plenty of people don't piss me off (NCFC) - CheatingcuntBywater, Mar 8, 12:41:18
        
        I can ignore quotes though, instead of piling them up deciding he can't manage (NCFC) - pants, Mar 8, 12:19:47
        
        Surely the quotes are indicative of his management philosophy and intentions? (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Mar 8, 12:22:13
        
        See? (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 8, 12:25:09
        
        Seems a bit blithe (NCFC) - CheatingcuntBywater, Mar 8, 12:23:34
        
        Well, if you can find me a quote from Grant saying he wants flowing, entertaining football (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Mar 8, 12:24:57
        
        I think he wants winning football (NCFC) - CheatingcuntBywater, Mar 8, 12:29:13
        
        That's fair enough. (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Mar 8, 12:31:20
        
        I'll apply today (n/m) (NCFC) - CheatingcuntBywater, Mar 8, 12:39:46

        which was so gutting about signing him (NCFC) - pants, Mar 8, 12:03:33
        
        Which Worthy wouldn't/couldn't recognise (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 8, 12:05:59
      - the shit that was thrown to get worthy out, continued into Grant's reign (NCFC) - pants, Mar 8, 11:48:34
        
        agree (NCFC) - megson, Mar 8, 11:50:55
        
        Was an error at Stoke, and repeated at Preston (n/m) (NCFC) - Brom, Mar 8, 11:54:46

        You'd rather Doh in midfield than Hughes? (n/m) (NCFC) - Brom, Mar 8, 12:17:25
        
        can't answer that (NCFC) - megson, Mar 8, 12:35:38
        
        Hughes is doing okay at right back isn't he? (NCFC) - pants, Mar 8, 12:10:01
        
        Oh yeah, he definately is... (NCFC) - Brom, Mar 8, 12:18:18

        Iwan didn't work out for a year, then turned out to be a legend (NCFC) - pants, Mar 8, 12:35:42
        
        Iwan was playing in the position he'd be sucessful in at other clubs... (NCFC) - Brom, Mar 8, 12:42:49
        
        Whereas (NCFC) - CheatingcuntBywater, Mar 8, 12:51:43
