lifted*fox Posted 24 September 2008 Posted 24 September 2008 I say YES!Play all our BEST AND GREATEST players in the JPT so that we can win win win!!! Who cares about promotion? Since when was money and status important? When did these intangible things start to outweigh the sublime delight and overwhelming euphoria of an aesthetically crafted cup run in a minor trophy (One which - I might hasten to add - the likes of Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal haven't got a hope in hell of winning!). Wembley here we come and to hell in a handbasket the cost! In years to come people will remember the 2008-09 season as the year we won the Johnson's Paint Trophy (or "The Wank Cup" as some would have it ), demolishing Dagenham & Redbridge in front of a crowd of 23,000 in our first trip to the new Wembley! Glory days indeed! No one will remember our league campaign and how we finished a battling 14th - a sacrifice worth making for the purity that comes with cup football. And how we will remember our glory days in the JPT, looking back on those heady times as we battle for promotion from League 2. We will look back and laugh, yes LAUGH!, at the doubters who wanted to field weakened teams so as not to risk losing out in the corporate, money-driven, franchise. Free of the shackles of materialism, no longer under the forceful, downward pressing thumb of "the man", we will be liberated to enjoy LCFC as a football team. Aye, that's right, I said it, a football team! Not Mr Mandaric's personal pension fund! Then, and only then, we will take small children into the back room of the Swan and Rushes and they will point at the old man, his cheese and onion cob mushed from the viscious gumming it will have recieved from this tired, bitter and broken man and they will point at him and say, "Behold the merchant of doom!" And he will not laugh. No, for there will be no humour left in this man. It left him - 23rd September 2008 - the day Max Gradel was injured in the JPT. He will never recognise it for the catalyst it truly was. You Sir, have tickled me with this small story.
filbertway Posted 24 September 2008 Posted 24 September 2008 Well it would appear that there are a lot of fooking retards in this thread. I'd say both sides have a fair argument? Which ones are "fooking retards"?
lcfc_jme Posted 24 September 2008 Posted 24 September 2008 This competition has brought a comical night out in Hartlepool and err......well thats it, missed last night.All i'll say is that if we get to wembley, our 35,000 allocation will sell out within a week, then we'll see how wank this cup is. Should we win this competition, Or even should we get to Wembley, I want to see these people moaning then. Yes I was thinking something similar, I'd also guess that if we got to the final they'd have no qualms about buying a ticket for the Wembley final. All very true, I'd say. Football fans can be very fickle, especially our bunch. I certainly wouldn't make the trip to Wembley if we got there, and I'm more than happy to be held to that. I doubt SUAS would make the trip either. And if Daggers says he wouldn't, I'm inclined to believe him. When he flies into a bit of a rage, it tends to mean he's serious.

Only because you couldn't afford the fooker Chunk... turn down a London trip... Bythe way, I hear a vicous rumour you're choosing leicester over coalville this saturday. Admitedly my source is ramp.

Bythe way, I hear a vicous rumour you're choosing leicester over coalville this saturday. Admitedly my source is ramp. Says it all. Though my bank-card is frozen at the moment so I'm not able to choose anything, even if I want to. Back on topic, it's got nothing at all to do with not being able to afford it - train fare to London with a rail card is cheap. Match ticket won't be expensive. Nor would beer on the train. Just, it doesn't interest me. And the way Chunk talks about Wembley, I'd be mighty suprised if he went to watch the JPT final there.
ozleicester Posted 25 September 2008 Posted 25 September 2008 I am at a loss to understand this....can someone explain how not winning (or even competing in) the JPT is going to assure, or even help our promotion prospects. Yes there will be injuries, but in case you hadnt realised, people get injured at training (perhaps we should stop that). Th assumption that this will damage our promotion chances is what is truly wank here. LCFC JPT Champions 08/09
Daggers Posted 25 September 2008 Author Posted 25 September 2008 Yes there will be injuries, but in case you hadnt realised, people get injured at training (perhaps we should stop that). Of course, how remiss of me. Training sessions are just like playing against a fired-up underdog every round who's primary aim is to incapacitate us in order to achieve victory. I really am a twathead. Fancy me thinking they presented a far tougher physical challenge in addition to the normal rigors of training. Christona****ingbike!
Ultra Posted 25 September 2008 Posted 25 September 2008 I really am a twathead. You'll get no argument from me there... For someone supposedly so well-educated, your ability to construct a reasoned argument is surprisingly limited. Branding large sections of the fanbase as "imbeciles" and "retards" may play well with your acolytes on here, but hardly advances the "merits" (such as they are) of your case. We could have done with giving Ashley Chambers a run on Tuesday, but unfortunately he wasn't available due to injury. And how did he sustain that injury? On the training ground. Does that mean Belvoir Drive should be declared off-limits? Does it hell. As I've said before on this matter, if the franchise can go for and win a league/JPT double, there is absolutely NO reason why Leicester, a far bigger club, shouldn't try to do likewise.
James. Posted 25 September 2008 Posted 25 September 2008 Thing is we're in the cup, we can't do anything about that and I would be disgusted if we went out and deliberately lost the game. Plus we have to play a certain number of first team players anyway. And in terms of the injury to Gradel we don't even know how bad it is yet... I don't see what this thread is getting at really. I still have no idea what the point of this thread is.

Christona****ingbike! highly skilled sarcasm and deflection but no real substance. Players get injured in training, in league matches against bottom sides who pose minimal threat to our march toward promotion, or just walking the streets. At some point we all have to accept that it is a risk and take the chance anyway. I am still in awe of the fact that any supporter would welcome their side losing. Cheeseonabitoftoast
Master Fox Posted 25 September 2008 Posted 25 September 2008 To be fair, it’s embarrassing enough taking part in this competition, let alone winning it. I’d be ashamed if we get to the final.
Munzie Posted 25 September 2008 Posted 25 September 2008 To be fair, it’s embarrassing enough taking part in this competition, let alone winning it. I’d be ashamed if we get to the final. Would you go?
Munzie Posted 25 September 2008 Posted 25 September 2008 Err, no. I can feel a poll coming on...if we get to the final, would you go?
Rocky Dennis Posted 25 September 2008 Posted 25 September 2008 I wouldnt go if we got to the final. I have been to all of the Wembley finals since the Blackburn play-off and enjoyed them all, each game had had far more importance than this two-bob cup though and I personally refuse to pay whatever astronomical fee the FA charge for Wembley matches in the hope of paying off the ridiculous debt we now have for the stadium. The Burton FA academy was shelved partly due to how much Wembley was costing and this is partly why our national side is so poor! I see the JPT as an unneccesary strain on our resources (presumably we made a financial loss on Tuesday?) and winning the trophy will not benefit the club at all IMO: Europe=No, Large Cash Prize=No. Although I'd never actually want City to lose I also would be happy to be out of this competition.
Master Fox Posted 25 September 2008 Posted 25 September 2008 I can feel a poll coming on...if we get to the final, would you go? You feel what you like. I wouldn't waste money or time going to any JPT game, even if it were Leicester playing the in the final. Actually, i have no desire to go to any live game whatsoever.

And miss out on the highly charged atmosphere that the crisp bowl generates these days? Surely radio commentary is no match for the sheer excitment of dancing furiously to that dagger song we all know and love And what about the "right side - left side" chanting. A naked Megan Fox lying in my bed 'wanting it' couldn't keep me away from the real sexy fox that is Filbert! On seconds thoughts..what am I saying?!?
Jonezy Posted 25 September 2008 Posted 25 September 2008 According to NP in his interview on World there is a remote chance of Gradel playing in the weekend, so looks like he is not hurt that bad.
Daggers Posted 25 September 2008 Author Posted 25 September 2008 I still have no idea what the point of this thread is. This tournament should be treated in the same manner as MON approaches the League Cup with Villa.
Daggers Posted 25 September 2008 Author Posted 25 September 2008 You'll get no argument from me... Well, a coherent one anyways. From someone who stated that they weren't going to anymore games at the end of last season, who publicly declared their jumping ship in the face of relegation, your strident justification of this tournament is a joke.
James. Posted 25 September 2008 Posted 25 September 2008 I'd say both sides have a fair argument? Which ones are "fooking retards"? Don't shoot the messenger... Bollocks. Absolute abject bollocks. Anyone subscribing to this philosophy is a fucking retard.
filbertway Posted 25 September 2008 Posted 25 September 2008 Don't shoot the messenger... Ahhh good ol' Dagger, my mistake haha. It's impossible to beat daggers in an argument I think, he even pretty much won the "theres nothign wrong with downloading games/films/music" arguement At least Daggers is giving a fair enough reason, not wanting to risk injury. But the people just saying "it's embaressing to be in this competition", we're in it because we deserve to be. I don't see much wrong with wanting to win games and competitions.
filbertway Posted 25 September 2008 Posted 25 September 2008 We in the fcuking final yet???? No not yer rajlaar, I'm not gona lie to ya... we've got a few more games to go yet boyo.
