Id agree with that. If the game is money driven, then make them fucking earn it. Next time were crap go out and get Mc Hammered and make a tit of yourself.It helps honestly.  Seen as the next game is on boxing day I might just try that Live life the Yeovil way

That's what win bonuses are supposed to be about. But if you're not sure whether you're going to get paid your basic, whether or not you also won't get paid a win bonus probably becomes fairly academic ;-) Seriously, I've been as p***ed off as anyone at the lack of heart shown by some of the players this season, but I don't know that it's down to not caring so much as a lack of mental toughness - they give up too easy. And given that a lot of them are quite young, without enough older heads to lift them when it gets tough (which is/was always one of the best things about Reeeeeves), it's easy to see how the depression of this season can lead to an attitude of "We're never going to get out of this". Plus we've got many also-ran loanees. There's no spine to the team, basically, and no heart, so we've got a collection of individuals who may all (well mostly) do OK if put in a team that is functioning as such with some belief and commitment but who are completely bloody lost floundering in uncertainty and misery in this outfit. And I don't see anyway out of it I'm afraid - that's what happens when you gut your side over the summer and replace the core of the side with mainly kids and loan signings and a couple of "star signings" who turn out to be real duffers. Whatever we may have thought of those who left over the summer - and there were few (SSP apart, natch) I was sad to see go - they were at least a team. Not a dysfunctional collection of individuals giving it the "rabbit in headlights" act every other week.

I would like it if the whole team were pissed constantly, especially during games with Gazza as their leader.
We all dream of a team of drunk geordies....

I thought getting stupidly drunk at my xmas party last night might have blanked the whole day out. Sadly I remember the 0-0 quite clearly but have completely forgotton how I ended up with loads of £20 notes in my wallett. I think I may have settled the bill on a credit card!

Nope, the stripper didn't turn up so you bravely volunteered to don the tassles so as not to let your work colleagues down. One quick waxing in the bogs later and you were shimmying up and down that pole like a seasoned "pro", as your workmates stuffed notes in your pants and bra. You looking forward to going into work tomorrow? :shock:

I also discovered, mid meal, that I don't like Cointreau, not one little bit. In fact I've never had to run to a toilet so fast. It's good to know that I was still able to carry on drinking for a further 5 hours though before getting my wife out of bed at 3am to get me from the Magic Roundabout (or so she says).

If I was the manager Pook would have been subbed straight after shooting when he had about 3 people unmarked in the box to pass too. He's been guilty of that more than once and until he learns he shouldn't be playing.
