Prevailing attitude of hunger

1428

Judging by these quotes, John Guidetti may just be the most excited footballer on the planet right now:

“I’m just going to work my socks off…. do my absolute very best…. give 100%.

“The one thing I hate more than anything is losing. I can’t stand it.

“For 90 minutes I am always giving everything.

“You can always expect 100% from your players and I’m going to give that [note the repetition of this assertion].

“I promise I’ll do my very best to do even a little bit of what [Henrik] did.

“Football without fans is nothing, it’s not worth it for me.”

There is a common theme across a few players who joined this summer, they have something to prove.  Guidetti, Mubarak and Tonev each had a difficult time last season, for varying reasons.  They need to hit the mark, whether it’s through form (Tonev), fitness (Guidetti) or simply being able to play in an environment which is remotely normal (Mubarak).

Scepovic is different.  He arrives with the wind at his back, but the prevailing attitude at Lennoxtown should be one of hunger. I suspect this contrasts starkly with last year’s arrivals.

    They will try their best to add in the cost of the Dome.

     

     

    They never seem to understand that in the big public investment moanathon — we do quite well.

     

     

    It is the North of England that gets shafted in the public investment stakes.

    Borrowing,raising capital, trading, don’t be pedantic.

  3. PFAyr – oh come on, that surely depends on how creative you are willing to be with the definition of “trading”.

    How much does Newcastle get?

     

     

    How much does Brough get?

  5. MWD @ 16.05.

     

     

    Fair play for putting up the figures.

     

    Now you know how big the problem is.

     

    And yet to want to steal food out of the mouths of poor English children.

     

     

    Cutting corporation tax will do that.

     

    Not taking on our share of the public debt will do that.

    The hilarious thing about this arrestment carry on is that Ahmed’s claim is a joke

    Sevco QC…they are trading out of difficulties

     

     

    Interesting comment as they are running at a loss and are requiring to be bailed out by their shareholders

     

     

    That’s not trading out of difficulties ….

     

    ————————-

     

     

    100% correct and what’s worse the share issue isn’t even underwritten.

     

     

    If that isn’t an indication that the markets , let alone anyone else, don’t regard them as being capable of trading out of their difficulties, what is?

  8. An tearmann I really don’t know what to make of your post.

     

     

    Tell me is saying you are the equivalent of the OO if you vote no playing the sectarian card?

     

     

    Tell me why being a catholic in England doesn’t raise an eyebrow in England but is a big deal here? Does Westminster just target Scotland for sectarianism?

     

     

    Did any English clubs practice apartheid against Catholics and did the English media tell us that there just wasn’t a catholic good enough.

     

     

    Did the Church of England write an article on the Irish menace or was it just the Church of Scotland?

     

     

    How many orange marches happen in England compared to Scotland?

     

     

    How many sectarian attacks against Catholics is there in England?

     

     

    Does England have the OB act or praise sectarian singing?

     

     

    I could keep going but I am sure you get the message.

     

     

    Is stating all this laying the orange card? Is it not relevant when we are being asked to decide to throw everything in with a Scotland that contains all these things……

     

     

    I seemingly can’t mention this but it’s ok for others to compare no voters with the BNP and OO etc etc.

    Well, yes.

     

     

    And I think that’s a lot to do with why the arrestment hasn’t previously been granted.

    There will be 3 Indy poll results this weekend and it’s believed at least 2 will have the Yes side In front. Who would have believed that a couple of months ago?

  11. PFAyr – the “letter” he is presenting, in a court, to back up his “claim” is handwritten. £500,000 bonus and 5% of all future commercial dealings on a handwritten note. No wonder Ashley stitched them up for the naming rights, and just to think these are the tools who were wanting to compare balance sheets

    I am taking my son to Madrid and trying to get tickets for the Madrid V Barca game on the 26th October if anyone can be of assistance.

     

    I am also looking for some recommendations re Hotels and areas to stay.

     

     

    Thanks in advance

    Neganon replace catholic with ethnic minority in England and your argument falls apart IMHO

  14. As an undecided I believe I can comment without fear or favour.

     

     

    Both sides of the referendum debate, on CQN anyway, have been guilty of these fear tactics that you all speak of. In fact for many of you it’s been the keystone of your argument.

     

     

    You’re not going to change each other’s minds and any undecideds will hopefully seek their information from more reliable sources than what is ultimately a football blog.

    He has also tucked them up with the Ashley deal.

     

    Before that Murray tucked up White and Green with the McCoist contract.

  18. Fit like fae Turra?

     

     

    I noticed earlier on some folks debating oil taxation. The current rate of tax which oil companies have to pay on profits from production varies between 62% to 81%, made up from Petroleum Revenue Tax plus Supplemental Tax. This cannot be offset against exploration costs which are carried as expenditure of course. In addition to this, they also have to pay corporation tax on group profits, which includes refining, service station profits, chemicals, etc depending on the company question.

     

     

    The government therefore rake in a lot more than the operators actually make in profits, especially when you consider on top of the above, there is VAT where liable, NI and Income Tax on our wages, local taxes, etc, etc.

    I couldn’t agree more. How about a system whereby everyone on the Polling Register pays an equal amount for the services they get?

     

    We could call it a Poll Tax?

    Why?????????????

  21. From Celtic FC website

     

     

    John Guidetti: Celtic’s new No. 9

     

     

    By: Mark Henderson on 05 Sep, 2014 15:59

     

     

    JOHN Guidetti will be Celtic’s new No. 9, having selected the vacant shirt number today following the completion of his season-long loan move from Manchester City.

     

     

    The 22-year-old will follow in the footsteps of Georgios Samaras, Chris Sutton and Pierre van Hooijdonk, just some of the famous names to have donned the number at the club in the modern era.

     

     

    He will also be the first Swedish striker to wear the Hoops since the legendary Henrik Larsson, a revered figure in his homeland and among the Celtic support.

     

     

    And while Guidetti knows emulating the achievements of the ‘King of Kings’ will almost be impossible, the hit-man has promised fans he will do everything in his power to bring them success.

     

     

    Speaking exclusively to the official website earlier today, the new Bhoy said: “I know what the fans are expecting but Henrik was an amazing striker and they are very big shoes to fill, but I promise will do my very best to do even a little bit of what he did. It’s a lot to live up to and I’m going to do my best.

     

     

    “Everybody knows what a great football club this is, especially in Sweden when Henrik Larsson was playing here. It’s also a very well-known club because of the fans, who are so passionate and brilliant.

     

     

    “I’m just going to work my socks off to try to do my absolute very best every game and give 100 per cent because that’s what the fans deserve.”
