Good to be ambitious,. hopefully it benefits us as well.... get us promoted play for us in the Championship and see what happens....

http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/display.var.2429593.0.cox_vows_to_be_the_best_and_eyes_up_big_move.php

  He should shut it....while there's nothing wrong in having ambition, he needs to live in the here and now....concentrate on improving his game and scoring some goals.

 Did you ever hear Sam Parkin going on about playing for Chelsea and seeing Swindon as a stepping stone?

 No...when he left, it was in the right way...Coxy has gone way down in my estimation.

Especially saying he wants to play for the scallys.

Tbh though I don't have a problem him trying to aim high, just wish he didn't aim so high at Leyton Orient last season.

To be fair parkin always did say he wants to play at the highest level. For Cox to get to a higher level etc he had to do well for us... we were always told that Coxy was an investment so... comes as no surprise really. There is clearly an understanding between Fitton and Coxy that he is here until he gets a bigger club etc in a higher divison. I never expected Cox to plead loyalty to STFC. he was always going to move on within a year or 2 of signing his contract here. In order to get his move to a bigger club he needs to do well here so its not really a bad thing really...

i'm inclined to agree.

keep your mouth shut coxy, you've still got a lot to prove.

  Gazzza, these ex prem lads receive tuition in how to talk to the media...Cox is doing a sort of Ronaldo. Pathetic.

  Of course SSP wanted to play at the highest level for him...what you say is I want to play at the highest level, hopefully for Swindon.....if not then let's see, in the meantime, I'm giving 100% for my team mates and the fans.

I think Cox is just stating the obvious more than anything else... I never saw Cox fulfilling his contract anyway.

 If I was manager I'd have Ben Joyce in on Saturday...

Hes not even been here a season yet - he should keep his head down a bit and get on with it for a while

agreed, Parkin said he wanted to test himself at a higher level after 3 seasons of 20+ goals

I have no problems with Cox coming out saying this, As I said to play in a higher division he needs to be consistent for us to do so , this can only be a good thing for us. On a downside though if he did go, we would be relegated ala when Super Sammy left. Turning on Coxy won’t help us in any way shape or form.

To be fair to Coxy, what gets reported as "Cox: I'm off to the Prem at the first sniff I get cos I'm far too big for you lot" can often start out as "So, Coxy, you're an ambitious lad, would you like to play at the top level one day"; "Yeah, that would be great, but for now I'm just focusing on getting the job done here". Which is the same story in essence and the same words, but if you miss out some of the context of the questions, what is actually just reasonable ambition can come over as arrogance and ingratitude. I think he's guilty of no more than naivety in how what sounded reasonable at the time would be likely to be reported.

Sounds to me like he thinks we're not going up and in such a case he wants out.

i kno what your saying Paul thats how most storys are made, but the lad actually stated the team he wants to play for!

I know its got nothing to do with Cox and his vastly swollen head but the headline reminded be of my favourite story about how Niall Quinn put Steve McMahon through a shop window.

http://www.purelymancity.com/index.php/features/how-niall-quinns-disco-pants-became-famous/

Shame it doesn't use the word defenestrate which is one of my favourites too.




Today is a good day.

Cox is far from the finished article yet, a season of good form, and not blatant misses (like he suffered from last season in places) would attract interest though.

Good luck to the lad.

Let's be honest, Are a club like Liverpool really going to come and look at a League One striker??? Not likely.

probably not but i don't think thats the point. the lad is just voicing a dream.

i'd love to have been Alan Mac at Wembely in 1990, or Danny Invincable at home to Posh etc
thats my dream so he's sharing his.

i think it's good he wants to play to the best of his ability and then move on to a larger club. maybe he can move with Swindon like parkin wanted too.

I think Corr and Paynter would be our first choice pairing anyway, so see ya, don't forget to close the door behind you.  That kind of attitude stinks - he should be saying he wants to play at a higher level, preferably with Swindon...  Thought he was very poor against Cheltenham Saturday - he needs to get his head out the clouds and concentrate on his game if he wants to stay in the Swindon team, let alone play in the Champions League.

 Indeed, but we were discussing Thorne earier this week, he basically was angling for a move, so scored a few eye catching goals, and when he'd sorted it, gave up on trying.

 Cox now allows himself to be seen in this light...

 Now Parkin, was the model, he got his biggish move up a level, qaudrupled his salary etc, but you'll not find a single town fan begruding him what he got.

 

Cox in "footballer dreaming of playing higher league football for more money and the team he has supported since being a kid Shocker"  :doh:

To say he is not our first choice striker is a joke  ???, the only thing he has done wrong is to openely say what all the players are thinking. Not one of them would not jump at playing for a higher league team it is the reality of being a third tier football team.

  Sure all players want to play at a higher level, but Cox is at this level for a reason, if he wants higher then he has to gain it...that comes from getting respect, from team mates and fans....this sort of statement shows a marked lack of respect.

OK, so he said "Yeah that would be great. I'd love to play for Liverpool one day". I hardly think he was "issuing a come and get me plea to Benitez"

I guess we can all be grateful that you're not then.

I can't quite get my head round your outraged reaction to this. It sounds like you're looking for an excuse to get on your high horse.

A young player is asked about his ambitions and says it's to play top flight football and Champions League football and has a dream of playing for the club he supported as a kid. What the fuck did you expect him to say?

Christ some of you should find a sense of proportion.

After talking to many Reading fans at the backend of last season, they were amazed that Coppell let him go so cheaply, he was not Premiership standard last year but asked by Reading to play in other competitions he equipped himself well, he is only a young lad and looks to me like the type of striker who will improve year by year.
So I think he will make it to the top league in the next three or four years.
I agree totally with you Reg about his 'marked lack of respect' to mouth off in this way after just two league games this season. If he starts missing the target the fans here could easily turn on him (just like Cureton).

 Defenestration is more your throwing out of a window, than pushing through.

 Think it was quite popular in the Middle Ages, to defenestrate people from high up castle turret windows.

Isn't defenestration confirming that someone's bollocks (more than 80%) will be cut off? Perhaps by crashing through a window?

 Do you go to matches? 

 

Cox is by far our best striker at this time, he's energetic, a real goal threat, over his defenders like a rash, must be a nightmare to play against!  To say Corr and Paynter are first choice is craaazy.

OH FFS!

Are some of you people actually naive enough to think that what happened here is that young Mr Cox sat back after playing three league and cup games and thought "I know I'll hold a press conference to announce my intention of scoring a few goals for Swindon this season and then signing for Liverpool in January, let Rafa know I'm up for it" ?

A reporter working on the same fucking basis as just about ALL of you fucking lot, and go back to the threads covering the Tranny and QPR games and you'll see the comments, made the assumption that the kid will probably get looked at by higher level clubs this season and ASKED HIM A QUESTION about what his ambitions are, which he answered honestly.

He's never made it a secret that he's confident he can play at a higher level and that he saw the move here as a step down to allow him to make a step or steps back up at a later date.

Have you people actually read the quotes:

"He said: "I am always looking to go up a league. I want to test myself at the highest level I can. If I can keep knocking in goals and performing well then an opportunity will soon come up for me to go to the next level."

"Scoring goals is what will make the manager keep choosing me, so that's what I have to keep doing. I want to prove my worth as a player."

That sound to me like a player that is prepared to work and do the job he's paid for and is hoping to get opportunities to progress his career as a result.

It's not like he's doing a fucking Ronaldo for fuck sake.

cant believe Coxy is doing to us what Ronaldo did to Utd, what a cunt!!

  Sounds to me like he's hoping to notch a few between now and Jan, and hope to fuck off. Which suggests to me he'll be playing for himself not the team and certainly not the fans...in which case he can fuck off sooner rather than later.

But Lumps, what's the point in him saying this to the adver? Only Swindon fans are going to read it. How demoralising is it when one of your star players is going on about leaving after this season?

I expect him to have ambition, I don't expect us to hold onto him for long, but fans will struggle to support a bunch of players who just come out and say we are a stepping stone.

I like the young miscreant's openness and egotistical attitude.

When he arrived he ruffled a few feathers when he said he’d be banging on the gaffer’s door if he wasn’t in the first team and I don’t see an issue with being open and stating your desire to play at a higher level one day.

As long as his head doesn’t drop or he starts angling at the first sniff of a dogs bottom that calls around then he can talk all the shit in the world.

Of what fucking relevance is that?

I thought you were above that sort of level of argument Reg.

Presumably that means Bangcock isn't entitled to an opinion on this either, or any of the other overseas fans thet post on here.

The answer for what it's worth is fucking rarely. Sometimes if there's a match on when I'm down visiting family I'll go. But I get to Swindon rarely and I have to admit that recently when I am there I've been prioritising spending what time I have there with my Mum rather than fucking off to football.

If I still lived in town I'd have a ST and go each home game. If I lived a bit closer I'd be able to give up an afternoon every few weeks to go to the saturday home games I expect. But with a round trip of over 350 miles to get to the CG it would take a day out of my weekend. During the week I work away a lot and work long fucking hours whether I'm away or not. My other half does the same. We're lucky if we see each other for a couple of hours each evening.

So no I don't spend one of the two days a week in which I might get to spend some time with her going to football.

Sorry for having a relationship and a life, I know that marks me out as a bit "odd" in the fraternity that is the TEF.

Obviously those of you that are "married to the club" have far more of a right to comment on the moral conduct of a young man that you've never met, based on a 5 sentence interview on the back pages of a local rag.

Fucking hell Reg how old are you? Did growing up never seem like an attractive option to you?

lumps u have no right to a opinion, u part timer

Chill out Lumpy, ffs.  It's not worth getting all stressed out about it fella.

"What's the point in the Adver asking the question" is more relevant. They've asked him, he's answered. What do you want him to say? The same old non commital bollocks that they're all trained to trot out at Prem clubs that anyone can read between the lines of.

What did Reg's hero Sam always used to say in the same circumstances?

"I've always wanted to test myself at the highest possible level..blah blah blah.... hopefully I can go as far as possible with Swindon ...bollocks waffle.... but I'll just get my head down and score goals and see what opportunities  arise."

Pretty much what Cox has said couched in spin.

Look back at the threads from the start of the season and there are several posts that suggest we'll be lucky to keep Cox beyond this season unless we get up IF he keeps scoring. All he's said is what we ALL already knew.

Why are you all so fucking upset at seeing in print something that you knew already?

why are u so angry today lumpy?

I'm not sure I even qualify as a part timer. I'm more casual labour on a zero hours contract, or maybe and office temp.

Im turning to liking Lumps, I say fair play to Cox for being honest!

Bitey bite bit.

I started by just being amazed at the adolescent reactions of fans who have been around long enough to know better. (Seriously if you can't handle having players who's long term ambitions are beyond your club then go support Man United or you're going to be outraged all the bloody time and it'll get wearing.)

Then Reg decided to slip in his little comment and I bit and gave him the reaction he wanted.

And I've spent the last four days puking and shitting as a result of a nasty stomach virus so I'm a little tetchy.

Yeah this is great. Of course Cox wants to play at a higher level. No doubt Macca, Jerel and Brez do as well but they didn't harp on about it. If Coxy tries and gives it his all i have no problem but if this is the start of him becoming the next Cureton then i will be dissapointed to say the least.

yeah but perhaps someone from the adver havent said "you're a young player, do you think you've got what it takes to test yourself at the highest level".

if they did you'd probably find them 'harping on about it' a bit more.

Cox seems like a bit of a stupid cunt generally, no wonder he didn't quite get the answer to his question quite right in the eyes of the fans.

i've given up caring about our players tbh.

I'm a tourist.  I made this site originally to discuss the back catalogue of Pop pervert and man of the hour Gary Glitter and all of you fucking weirdos turned up.

None of you has still told me what the fuck a Swindon is.

to be honest i cant see any of our players are proud to be playing for Swindon Town, they are all big headed cunts who would leave at the sniff of a few more £s at another club.
Its the same at any club at our level

Honestly does anyone think Cox was going to come out and say "you know what I'm happy at Swindon, I never want to leave, Other clubs can offer me all the money I want but I will tell them to do one, I want to break Trollope's record at Swindon, i am here for life and when I die I want my ashes spread across the County Ground pitch, forget money and playing at the highest level, Only the greedy and unloyal go there." erm no... wasn't going to happen was it?

I go to fuck all games, yet my opinion manages to be better than nearly everybody's.

I fucking win.

it summed up football today when one of your players who only signed a pro contract last season said to me 'i want to get in the 1st team play afew games and then move to a better team on money like tozer' they dont give a fuck about playing football anymore

You know what I kind of agree with this sentiment.  I think that's why I hate this Peacock love fest, "he's a legend.... he loves the club....." bollocks, he'd be off like a shot if he was good enough to attract any attention from a "bigger" club.  

The only player I admire for loyalty out of the current lot would be Jerel, as he has been here for a few years.  I give the benefit of the doubt to some of the youth team coming through, as it wouldn't be fair to have a go at them, but the likes of Roberts, Peacock, Aljofree etc banging on in the paper about what the fans should do and think pisses me off.

Is it just me or is this thread seems populated almost entirely by overreaction?

With this amount of fevered debate, you can have the horrible situation of building up hatred or dislike where none is actually needed, simply because everyone is stoking each others fires.

I can see nothing wrong with anything Cox has said and actually consider it perfectly normal. I actually consider it a bit far fetched to expect a player (who will play at another level one day) to not say these things because he's got a club and should be happy.

My opinion of Cox is unchanged and this is nothing less than i would expect of any half decent footballer.

Why say it?  I've never been keen on him as he's a Reading scummer, plus he has an attitude that will ultimately see him falling out with managers and teammates...  Hoepfully if he does fuckoff we can get megabucks and get Super Sammy back...  Hey I can dream!

No, but perhaps one could decline an interview or a question. Or perhaps think of a better response. I'd like to get STFC in the Championship and play for them there. Rather than talking about expecting scouts to come in for you.

FWIW I'm not really pissed off about this, but such comments run the risk of alienating the fans, the hardcores stick with the team through thick and thin and don't jump ship. Cox stating he expects to leave is like stating you are going to watch Reading when it looks like Swindon are bound to go down (sorry Yeovil  ;))

Over reaction?  F*ck off Barry you flippin knob jockey, this "thread" as you call it isn't full of over reaction it's full of ucking passion, which you, my friend, seem to be seriously ucking lacking in.  Get behind the team you passionless mutha ucka!!!  I've had enough of tree huggers like you coming on here and putting everyone down.  AAAAAAAAArrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

Ps I like you avatar.

That's a stupid comparison.

You're still expecting a player, a paid employee, to show the same level of loyalty to the club as you, a fan.

You're mad.

 I suppose it's fair to say Lumps over reacted a bit...

 
 

I agree Bazster

Do you wanna be in my Gang?

[url width=300 height=506]http://www.fwditon.com/attachments/2007/8/20/118759556850_gary_glitter.jpg[/url]

I put the gang in bang.

Hey, I thought that was the most reasoned and measured part of the whole post. It's not my fault the forum is largely populated by sad singletons and divorcees.

i not single

I think a poll is needed here, I'd have thought most people on here were "partnered" up, not single.

I'm married and I have a girlfriend.

Im a bit in love with Lumps  8)

Stop being mean to us sad singletons though >:(

:fishing:

I want to find you a nice wife Yeovil

someone who will make you nice dinners and go for nice walks with your wolves

 I'd have thought the Pride thread  would have shown a large number on here eschew the conventional bourgeois ideas of the late 19th Century, in favour of more flexible relationships and family set ups.

I'm not single, and neither is my wife.

No I don't expect the same loyalty. It was actually supposed to highlight that you wouldn't make the comment even if you weren't going to go to watch Swindon.

That example infuriates me - if I was on £800-odd p/wk I'd be bloody loyal!  When he's on such an inflated wage he should have more respect for his employers who, in a long-winded way, are us.  I pay for my ticket, so in a roundabout way, I own his sorry ass!

P.s.: for the record I'm not single, but I can be if you're interested?  :banana: :blowkiss:

Why isn't Bangkok entitled to an opinion on any of us ex-pats?

And another thing ... I'd rather have a cocky, arrogant, self-confident striker like Cox than some gay, in an old fashioned sense, striker who watched his p's and q's in case he upset some of the hyper-sensitive luvvies on here!

Cox on £800 a week?  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Fuck this is pointless.

Just try to live in the real world FFS. You support a middling lower league club decent players will come and go. The really good ones will always be looking to better themselves, probably from the day they arrive.

Whether you hate it or not just accept it.

What about Blair  ... and Pook? Both showing remarkable loyalty and resilience despite being largely ignored just because they are not good enough in somebody's opinion?

Pointless? Try Immodium. It's difficult not giving a shit when you're not in complete control of your bowels.

exactly, we should be building the team around blair and pook, at least they want to be here

Tried Immodium on Tuesday, didn't work. Gp now has me on Mebeverine (an anti-spasmodic) wcih seems to be doing the trick.

Blair and Pooky aren't being loyal are they?  They just can't find a club who would be willing to take them on? 

of course they are not loyal! they are doing the opposite to Cox, they are on the way down so are clinging on to swindon for as long as possible cos a move down will mean less £! Pook is on decent money here aswell

What? They are only refusing to go and score loads of goals for any of our rivals. Denying themselves the chance of hero-worship so as not to spoil our chances ...

Two with one worm ... not bad. Will I have another bite by the time I finish typing this?

Any player that wants to leave should be booed unrelentingly and banished from the town... Anyone who thinks differently is either a gay or a jew...

 or has the trots..

If he keeps scoring goals and playing well then I dont fucking care what he says.

I support Swindon Town, not Simon Cox.

Dont give a fuck what he says, what he does or where he wants to play in the future.

If he scores the goals that win us games then great and this thread proves that were slowly turning into thisis, sorry to get all high and mighty but some of the posts in this thread are retarded beyond belief.

Good one Jan, you almost had me. Almost...

Was it the AAAAAAArghhhhh and I like you avatar that gave you a clue.

As for where the real reds are bloke, shouldn't you be singing the praises of the red army and slagging off the evil Georgian empire, rather than spending your time fishing.  And to be fair I don't think you really got a catch with me comrade. 

interesting thread is this one.

we have to exept as stfc fans that players dont really give a fuck about playing for us.the loyal player is almost exstinct at this level.
we are either seen as a stepping stone on the way up(whether they are good enough or not).a chance to play regular football and see what happens?or a pay day and a bit of football at the end of a career.
as long as we progress as a club then i dont give a shit really.it's not a shock that cox is a jumped up, self confident so and so is it?it's always been blatantly obvious to me!
but as parkin has been metioned as he deserves praise.he did it the right way,he had ambition but never said jack shit about it.done the business and got his move.sadly it didn't pan out for him as he would have hoped.
i'd take super sam back over cox any day of the week.past injury probs or not

whether Cox was mis quoted or not doesnt change the fact he is a quality player at this level and will move on with a few seasons to a better club, for Arriba to say he'd prefer sam back over cox? i think not

He's over rated anyway.

 ::)

Being serious for just one moment.  Clubs need to take a pragmatic approach to players and accept that in reality players are going to have their heads turned by the bigger carrot on a stick on offer up the league and in some instances the bigger carrots down the league to boot.

There was a thread on here the other day highlighting the disparity between salaries up and down the league and if you drill down a bit further you could probably show trends within leagues. Its part and parcel of the game and the best thing any football club can do is take a no-nonsense attitude towards players moving and do as much work to avert their eyes from where the grass is greener.

Take Mo Malpas for instance.  One of the discussions this summer has been that he’s only brining players who are committed and want to come to the club and although he’s not a Malpas boy Eason’s interview in contrast to Cox’s today really reflects that attitude.  It’s all common sense stuff.  

Once you have the right player in sight then you offer them the right contract.  And pissing around with one year deals or long term deals for the wrong player ends up in our own respective Grunt Sniff and Cobain type of scenarios.

There’s far too much emphasis on the players rights to move within contracts and not enough prominence on a club’s right to terminate an agreement.

After you’ve signed the bastards up then you imbed them in the club, community, fans and get them settling down in the area with the purpose of growing some roots.   The more settled a player is the less likely they’re going to have their head turned and this is an integral part of what the Premiership clubs do with new signings.  They get them settled, set-up with a home and integrated into social circles etc.  In fact one tip of the hat for old red nose at Manchester United and again was evident in a few of our failed transfer targets this season is that married players tend to be more settled and it’s usually the WAG’s that dictate where or if they move clubs.  

You’re never going to stop clubs upstream doubling a player’s salary but you can at least keep them settled long enough to move on the club’s terms rather than the players/agents.

At the end of the day certyain herberts will want to fuck off and there’s no point in keeping the buggers but a bit of backbone goes a long way.  Clubs selling key player’s mid-season on the buyers/players/agents terms usually fall flat on their face.  If you set the example within the club that players leave on the club’s terms from the off it stops any mass evacuations or unsettled players from occurring.  

Plymuff are a terrible example of a club that’s just sold and sold it’s crown jewels of late and are suffering as a result while Wycombe are a decent example of small club standing to their guns when it comes to players moving on.

Right, after all that I'm off for a wank in cubicle four with May's Exchange & Mart.

:D
It was worth a try.

FOOTBALLER IN WANTING TO PLAY IN HIGHER LEAGUE SHOCKER

Don't do that.

why?

It makes me sad.

oh :(

have a cake

[url width=448 height=334]http://whimsicalkitten.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/fairy-cake-green-2.jpg[/url]

Ha ha ha

Ive just  read the interview after reading this thread,talk about getting worked up over nothing  :D

It leaves Lumps in your throat taking this too seriously!!!

'Footballer in ambition scandal!!'

the problem with cox is that he is over confident. give it a couple of years, prove yourself and see what happens. Like what Sam Parkin did.

People are differnt though,Cox is a massive big head while Parkin was quiet.Seriously who gives a fuck if he's scoring goals?

You see we can always rely on you to boil the argument down to it's essential elements and draw a sensible conclusion.

Yeovil is as always the voice of reason.

is he fuck. glue sniffing bummer.

Liverpool? Very ambitious.

bumming  8)

I wonder what people will get wound up about tomorrow, I missed most of this (and haven't read the article in question yet), but the gay pride one was pretty fun.

I hope its crisps,or bumming again.

Crisp packet anal condoms?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/3473415.stm

crisp packets? ouch.

Gives a whole new spin on 'vinegar strokes'

I say that they do work, but the family planning association has shares in durex and it's all a big conspiracy.

We must expose these lies!

surely with a crisp packet you would get sharp corners? unlucky for the woman! or man if they are the reciever of gay anal sex, or even the women aswell if she was having anal.......well anyone who has sex using a crisp packet really

The sharp corners are a price you pay for the foil wrapped freshness.

Wouldn't fancy getting some salt and vinegar down the japs eye. Anyway, what a lovely day it was today. The start of summer perhaps.

I reckon I'd rather risk salt and vineger than go for any chilli style action.

Do you fancy a pack of my cheesey wotsits love?

Fnarr fnarr

[url width=121 height=104]http://farm1.static.flickr.com/52/143949012_dfd86fc811.jpg?v=0[/url]

yeah if you do use a crisp packet dont opt for the walkers sensations, or discos, remember discos? strong as fuck

Very vigorous aren't they.

I'd probably go with some classic Skips. Riskin' the fizzin'. And the tasty prawn flavour on my knob.

think id go for quavers for the least amount of cock sting

Simon Cox on a piece of string chant tomorrow then? ;)

This thread is classic TEF - starts off with an over-areated discussion generated by a throwaway comment in the local paper, everyone gets proper wound up, and then transmogrifies into a considered debate on precisely which type of crisp-based snack would be best to shove up your knob. Classic.

(And for those who were wondering, I think the current medical advice is that you're best off NOT sticking crisps of any flavour or texture up your old man. Or, come to that, sticking anything up there. Leave it alone lads, that's what the doc would say)

What a strange man! ;)

I'm strange?? It was the rest of them stuffing crisps up their cocks!

paul its not shoving crisp packet up your cocks, its covering your cock, being used as a condom, the the more i think about it i think i would turn the packet inside out, so i wouldnt have the sting of the salt and the lady would! not just a hat rack!!

A true gentleman.

See, that's where you've gone wrong right there.

haha i was expecting that

This happens when people are desperate

Perhaps they should produce condoms in a series of savoury snack flavours ?

The thread going wildly off on a tangent or people stuffing crisps up their cocks?

again paul, its not shoving crisps up your cock, just the packet covering your cock

Nah JPC all scousers jam Condoms up thier Japs eye,its a northener thing.

"My mate" told me that they are already available in fruit flavours e.g. strawberry.

Why not kill two birds with one stone and make crisp packets out of a special flavour absorbing rubber with a little blue bag of sensitol inside. Then after sharing your new flavour snacks with your SOP you could say "OK, your bag or mine?"

Safe snacks ... are you having it?
 

Don't know, I was quoting the article

I reckon that you and me nev could be the next generation of advertising/marketing geniuses. Saatchi and Saatchi move over, here comes nevillewtrra plc.

The crisp flavour version would bring a new meaning to the term (salt'n) vinegar stroke.

I can't remember which thread is about new flavours so sorry if this is out of place ... but, what about semen flavour with a health warning on the pack "Spitting is unhygienic ... please swallow every time"

I'm sure I already did that joke.

yeah and it wasnt funny the 1st time either

Coxy..big headed,greedy,going to sore shit loads of goals....sounds good to me.

This is my first chance to comment on this and when I read the story yesterday I knew this would happen. 

There's not 1 player in the league who's biggest dream is to play for Swindon Town, there are plenty who would jump at the chance to play for us now, whether on the way up or winding their careers down - or maybe somewhere in between, but frankly I'd be amazed, and almost disapointed, if any 1 player that has signed for us in the last 20 years has seen Swindon as the icing on the cake (a few like Dykes and Ben May discounted).

Cox is a big head who has faith in his ability to perform at a higher level than Swindon, but he also knows that the only way he'll get a chance to test himself is to prove his worth here first - it's frankly morronic to assume that any player that looks good at this level should be happy to remain in L1 and in my opinion it doesn't matter 1 jot when a player chooses to voice this ambition - especially in the manner Cox has here.  He's hardly said he's desperate to jump ship, just that he hopes his work at Swindon will attract interest from elsewhere in the future and if such interest were to come about he'd be interested to pursue it.

I used to defend Swindon fans to my mates, saying we were a decent, pragmatic set of fans but on this evidence I was wrong - we're no better than your average Utd. fan presuming we're the greatest club in the world.  We're just going to have to realise that, for at least the next decade or two there will always be a bigger club that may be intested in at least one or our players - and that those players may well reciprocate that interest - it's the very nature of the whole damn league.

If you can't take that on the chin then I suggest you're supporting the wrong club...

Well fucking said, but dont forget we is like the biggest club in the world, who would want to play for little old liverpool, the most succesfull team in british history, but fuck it who gives a fuck lets sell him

sorry fella I must admit I didn't read the whole thread, you can keep that joke axs, no bother.

aww, thanks. :D

I think we all knew Cox would make comments like this. He's brash, he's not very clever, he's arrogant and he's full of himself.

But he's not been scoring much since he signed and he's missed some absolute sitters. Some might say his lack of effort after he signed last season was one of the reasons MM's first few months became so difficult.

I wasnt sure about him anyway. Il never chant his name now. He wont change. He's got the big time Premiership wanker footballer attitude and he thinks hes better than he is.

Barry Corr or Sam Parkin would never have said this sort of thing because they are class. Cox is just crass.

And he has a dog rough girlfriend!

Erm clearly you are blind.

Shut up! u being serious??
