While I appreciate the sentiments, and I too think he owes it to the club to sign an extension (perhaps I'll have a word with my Dad's brother's wife's brother's daughter - have I ever mentioned that? ), but I'd say it sends absolutely the *right* message if during all of that he can still show the effort and attitude to score 10 goals in a game for us or represent England.
I'd be cheering from the rooftops - and bragging about it at work!!
I think it's good to reflect on things written that may be a bit harsh or on the spur of the moment or late at night and then to wake up and ask yourself, why on earth did I write that or even think that and so in the spirit of goodwill towards all men and what not and being of sound mind, I will tell you what I really think....

Ainley is a disgrace to this club and I would not play him even if that meant losing out a tribunal fee because my principles are worth MORE than a few quid in the bank when someone like him has benefited from the many millions that have gone into the academy that allowed him to be where he is today. So I repeat that I would not celebrate or clap him whatever he does in football from no on. OK I don't go to games much now but I have served my time in supporting this club in days gone by when players did show some loyalty to the club and to us fans...Indeed one or two like AlexMick just might remember a player who was signed by Stoke for a pretty decent fee in those days and I recall his last match here at Gresty Road and he cried his eyes out because he was leaving and had to be consoled by his team mates. His name was John Mahoney. Now how many players do that today.

Please feel free to disagree but once again Timmy has to resort to personal insults to try and get his point across. But who cares about that when there is not ONE person or fan that can tell me that I don't love this club more than them or certainly Callum Ainley and all those who who take and take and give next to nothing back....Indeed like most players in the PL who are no better than Mercenaries...

Football has moved on that is true but not for the better....imo of course!
