Not really the players that are a problem here, it's Steve Evans, and his staff, and their shocking attitudes that people dislike, Chris Coleman was spot on with what he said on the FA Cup highlights programme last night. Nothing wrong with a bit of passion to win a game, but there are right and wrong way's of showing it. As an example, that whole business over Crawley's second penalty yesturday was shocking. Cook was the one who was fouled, so he should have been allowed to take the penalty, but then their other striker insisted on taking it off of him, and then going and missing it!
I remember when we played them away in the Conference and won 1-0, Steve Evans was standing up having a go at the linesman and 4th official and protesting against every decision that was made, I think that must of been the game Nick Harris had had enough of him at.

I think Ferguson will put a strong side out and look to kill off Crawley early on. He made a mess of the game when Exeter, then in the Conference, came to OT and got a 0-0 and it meant an unnecessarily long trip to Devon with all the big guns playing. I'd say too that Crawley are a step up from that Exeter side and could pose a below par Man U a problem or two if they take it too lightly.

I the season we went up, we bought players, what's the difference? We weren't given a blank cheque by millionaire owners for our convicted criminal manager to go out and win the league simply through paying amounts that some league teams couldn't afford for the cream of the conference crop. We bought sensibly, without outrageous spending and built a quality squad. Crawley have made a mockery of responible finance in football and impoverished other conference teams as a result. What they are doing is no different to what chelsea have done and I don't see anyone jumping to their defence on a regular basis.

Pathetic.
Good luck to Crawley. They've found a wealthy benefactor, so what. Most clubs are crying out for one. We've had convicted criminals like Rix, Zebroski and Guy manage and turn out or us. I take it you remained absent when they represented the club.
Ridiculous hypocrisy by you.

I take it you remained absent when they represented the club. Ridiculous hypocrisy by you. Ridiculous overreaction by you! Maybe you've taken account of what i said on that other crawley thread and tried a more subtle approach. I can't tell whether you're being serious here or just trolling. We all know that as a Man U fan you have a somewhat different definition of what is responsible finance in football. Likewise, your criminal records point is a bit of a joke since you accuse me of hipocrisy despite singing the praises of convicted killer Adam Chapman. I don't think most clubs are crying out for a wealty benefactor. Perhaps shallow, short-sighted, silverware-obsessed fans like you would like such a backer at OUFC but i doubt you would be in any kind of majority. Look at all the casualties of so called wealthy benefactors and dodgy financiers, Leeds, Luton, Gretna, Portsmouth the list goes on.

When or where have I sang the praises of Adam Chapman ?
I would say, bar none, I have been the most vociferous in my condemnation of what he did. Don't bracket me as someone who offers any sort of defence for Chapmans actions.

I was merely pointing out that you made a comment about me absenting myself from games in which the likes of Guy and Zebroski were playing because of their criminal records, while yourself being quite happy to praise chapman as a player.

Our millionaire owner nearly bankrupted us with help from Mr M. Lets throw cash on overpaid journey men hutch ring a bell!!!! Then he realised and cut spending, appointed KT, CW and rest is history. He did a crime and paid for it, doesnt mean he is now. Respect to Evans for a man I dont really like, hes signing up the best of PROVEN conf players, regardless of budget and these players should do well in L1. Well done Crawley, I dont see you moan at MUFC, MCFC, CFC, LFC or others!!!

I'd hardly say I have a one sided view of the game just because I don't like cheats and fraudsters being lauded as geniuses because they have been given all the cash they want to pay massively over the odds for the best players from all the other clubs in their division. What crawley have been doing is no different to chelsea and people are not constantly lauding them as paragons of all that is right in football.

That's a rubbish response and you know it. If any team started 'doing a crawley' only a complete moron would stop supporting that team because of it. If it happened to oxford I certainly wouldn't like it. I might openly protest it and any success we were to achieve under such management would feel somewhat hollow. If you love crawley so much how about you stop supporting OUFC and support them. You seem rarely to post anything praising the yellows as it it.

In the Sun today it claims Crawley's top player is on £670 a week, maybe Evans is back using his creative accounting skills because i'm pretty certain Brodie didnt take a pay cut to move to Crawley.

You are talking irrationally and in riddles. You specialise in talking rubbish but you're excelling yourself with this utter drivel. Coming from you baldy that's a real classic. I see you're letting someone else do your arguing for you and only coming in when you think your side has won. I take it that if, God forbid, OUFC should ever be taken over by mysterious millionaire benfefactors who install a crook of a manager and then start buying up all the talent in the league at unsustainable prices, all to achieve a hance at promotion and a decent cup run, you and the dead beatle'll be jumping for joy... Again baldy i suspect that the real reason you are backing crawly so much is because you are a sh!t stirrer who enjoys the attention you recieve from making controversial comments. I think i can count on the fingers of one hand the amount of times you have posted on a thread in agreement with anyone, excepting perhaps you faithful disciple junior. As for JL I know he has an agenda viz. crawley because he has family there and I have to say i have no particular problem with Crawley as a place. I just have a problem with the whole ethos around Crawley Town FC and the way the club is being run, and indeed any club which conducts its affairs in such a way.
