Treasurer( can we trust him with taking subscriptions) Tree_With_Hamster

Who else in.

not me, i wish to distance myself from this group as much as possible.

Looks like your Feedthecow's first victim, sorry I mean hopefully converted poster

By replying to this post we already nearly have you misterb. Come on you know that you want to join, its a lot better feeling once you join the optimistic group.

i'll stick to my negative views thankyouverymuch

Great, Bob we have a new member MisterB(as well as Tree and PoolieBri). If i remember from school two positives make a negative, so if i take this in reverse your two negatives make a positive. It may be on a technicallity and it may not be true but i will take it and so welcome to the group MisterB.Enbrace it!

i'd rather embrace it

Well i', glad you are Misterb. Welcome aboard.

I'm definately in.

But I'm a bit concerned about the committee they have made some dreadful mistakes.
They havent got a clue. Money has been wasted on complete wasters. If things dont change I'm leaving group.
The management of the group has been non league standard. I'm not attending any more meetings til things get better.

Yes this new positive thinking is good!

Im really excited about the new season. I think we are near to having a decent squad who can be up there fighting for a play-off place. If Evan Horwood settles in then defensively we should be strong (ish). Lets just hope we get a pacey (A MUST!) attacking midfielder who can get his foot on the ball and play alongside gamble or ritchie. Sorted.

With the right supply from midfield Behan will do the business. If Brown can stay fit too then there will be little stopping us especially now that Wordsworth can keep Turner 'right'.

who the fook is Wordsworth?

He's a very famous poet

Murray seems to be impressing, as does Horwood and Yantoro. If this Dutch gadgie is any good i'm off to William Hills.

And to make things more positive we may have the speedy forward in the O'Donovan mode in Gary Martin released by the Boro at end of last season, only young (20 in October) but I was told he's fast as F*** and won the bleep test with ease of course that information may be exaggerated (wrong in other words) but you never know.

Wordsworth is quite apt actually as he is merited with the quote


"What we need is not the will to believe, but the wish to find out."

Which every member of Pools playing squad/management team should remember.

"OPTIMISM is the key to SUCCESS" Fetish Bob July 2010

Go on then, count me in!
I'm forever the optomist when it comes to Hartlepool United!!

Count me in too, well I have to dont I!!

Ahm oot!

I need to apply to rejoin after throwing my toys out of the pram.

You are a lot more optimistic than me on that point....

Apologies but that bit was pure sarcasm rather than optimism

Ah - now I'm with you....
