Calde is clutching the ball in that photo. When did he score a hat-trick?

Special rules apply to Calde, he scored 3 in two games, that's good enough. The one that went in off his face should count for more than 1 goal anyway as touching Calde's face must be akin to being touched by God himself.
That's top DRAWER
Tup draw more like.
To be honest, if they gave Calde the match ball, he wouldn't KEEP it anyway, would he?
He'd either give it straight to a destitute football-mad street urchin, or auction it to raise money for aids orphans.

Yeah, as I said to Rookie I think I made my point a bit clumsily and the Mackay comparison wasn't the best (to put it mildly). To try and clarify: my point was that the audience, the content or the context is irrelevant - you've either said something or you haven't. And Barber said it. And yes I know it was just a bit of bollocks marketing-speak, but I HATE bollocks marketing-speak. And if constantly drawing attention to the ridiculous 'premier league ready' phrase means that he thinks twice in future before coming out with more bollocks marketing-speak, or foisting stupid slogans on us, well then job done. Although by the sound of it we're going to have to keep doing it 'Together' for a bit longer ...

Paul Barber used the phrase on a number of occasions in public meetings with fans, so he put it out there. Season ticket and catering prices were certainly "Premier League Ready", the fans have every right to throw the phrase back at the club when player recruitment policy and choice of manager were abject and most certainly not PLR.

Oddly, I received an email from Barber thanking me for my attendance, whilst also asking whether the vegetarian pie was acceptable and whether I had had to use the end go on one of the middle troughs in North Stand toilet number 3, aware of the concern I and some others have of their shrivelled parts being very visible in this piss-spot to those queuing for the over-used cubicles for their heavy droppages. He also said that green doesn't suit me and his favourite insect is the earwig thanks to their monstrous backend pincers. I am yet to reply, but it does make me feel that we are in this together, me and him at least.

Bozza;6840164 All I'll say is that on the back of the season ticket renewal leaflet that arrived yesterday is a celebrating Calde. He bloody well better be together with us in 2015/16.[/QUOTE said:

I believe Paul Barber mentioned it, or at least answered questions about it in an argus article which is where most people would have heard it for the first time. So by addressing it he has endorsed it being publicly available.
Not that it ever bothered me, I get enough management bullshit in my own company to take on board anybody else's

PLR is only for us on the inside, don't mention it to the oiks on the terraces they'll only take the mick.
Why didn't I get an e mail saying "where were you, you were missed"?

I prefer the new to the old.
Barber did mention PLR at least once in his programme notes and elsewhere.
But it seems the club or at least it's marketing department have finally latched onto something that makes sense. They need to massively up their game next season to get bums on seats.
For the derby game, they had I believe 6-7,000 tickets to sell to home fans and they only sold 1,000 of them against top of the table on the back of two entertaining home wins.
Results gets bums on seats but ultimately the new fans at the AMEX are used to success and are a little fickle.

Bit of both. This PLR was as Darren says an internal phrase. HOWEVER whilst it wasnt plastered over the club shop with a face of the lovely Orlandi it WAS referred to by Barber in the Argus and the programme as Giraffe and ROSM said.
So by Barber admitting this and the laughable "one club one ambition" while we were sliding down the league with that hapless Sami in charge and mot doing what we should have done before he resigned, OF COURSE we would use these phrases as a "stick to beat the club with"
At one point (while Sami was balls deep into the rot and the club did nothing) i was absolutely convinced they did want L1 football.
