Ty Cobb was a legend of baseball but a truly awful human being by all accounts. As others have said we don’t know to what extent Hirst Snr brokered this deal. I will always hold him in the highest esteem for his achievements with us as a player but am not naive enough to think he would never go against the club. It’s well known he still bares a grudge for not getting his own big money move to Man Utd. It’s safe to say he won’t be seen around Hillsborough while DC is still chairman. At least you would think so anyway. Whats done is done. Wouldn’t it be good if Boroukov went on to be a star and George ended up in the conference?

Errol Flashman Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) 40 minutes ago, striker said: I have listened to Nigel Pearson speak about us on a number of occasions and didn't expect anything else from him, he speaks as if he couldn't give a throw about the club. Pearson is an odd character. I've got a mate who swears blind he has had in for us ever since Ron got the boot second time around when he was gonna come in as protégé. Bit far fetched. But we're are a paranoid bunch us football supporters. Him signing Ben Marshall for them and then hardly playing him when we were trying to get another loan from Stoke only fuelled me mates theory. Never know the truth. The ostrich thing I found funny though. Nice to see am rounds manager go in blind and swinging than the usual media trained platitides Edited June 27, 2018 by DEH9 Just a bloke.

cowl Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 It's clear from the anniversary dinner that Pearson still has a lot affection for us. He really seems to hate the implication that he ought to hold us in high regard though. It's pretty weird. He often seems to go out of his way to make it seem as though he absolutely doesn't.

Strange fella. Mind. That was the only time I've seen me fatha close to tears. (Well that and the end speech in brassed off) When we sold Pearson and brought in Pearce.

Dizzys Dad Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 George is a kid. He’s been influenced by older people. I hope he goes on to have a wonderful career. David is IMO the best striker we have ever had. That’s how I will remember him. For what he did on the pitch. Rumour and speculation won’t change that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a youngster I flirted with both the Manchester sides, but in around 1996 my dad showed me a video tape of the Back in division 1 video tape (with the yellow box). We were un-real that year, finishing I think third in the league and beating Man U with a Nigel Jemson brace. I not only thought that I was watching the current Wednesday team when I wasn't, and I also didn't quite understand the concept of replays, and I therefore though we were winning every game around 10 nil. This, along with the performances and goals of a certain David Hirst, decided my fate, and resigned me to a life time of supporting Wednesday. After recent affairs, how do others feel about David Hirst? I am hurt, disappointed, and feel like the foundation of my love for Wednesday has been ripped from under me. Do we think Hirst and Pearson have spoken? Has Pearson done really quite badly by us or has he done his job? Im walking round like a ghost, unable to think straight. I dont know where I am. I feel your pain. I wrote this song for him and his gifted offspring: He drives a Seat Ibiza, 'cause in Barnsley that's reyt cool, He runs his nan to the shops to get her pork chops and picks his girlfriend up from school. He's only a teen yeah, and he's scoring goals for fun, Cuts in from the wing with his swept across fringe on a powerful mazy run... Just hope he's got a shot like him Just hope he doesn't stop like him Just hope he gets famous, gets worshipped and adored. I want to feel the buzz like him That feeling when he'd helped us win I want to smile once more like the old days when he scored Oooooh George Hirst, he's God's son, he's God's son! Oooooh George Hirst, he's God's son, he's God's son! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be totally uncool. Sonofbert2 has months remaining on his Owlstalk contract. Neil a is hopeful that he'll sign a new one. Though he's going to have to wait for his chance as Asteener1867 is still very much our main lyricist at the moment. BREAKING *Sonofbert2 moves to Louis Walsh on a free. But everyone knows he's actually under Cowells umbrella. Just a bloke. Being dragged along in a world that moves too quick for it's own good.
