If Thomas Frank was our manager you would despise him for whatever failures you decided he had. There's only one around here with an agenda sweetheart, and its not me.

Should have won the league last year and he blew it. Should have won the league this year and he blew it. That's right isn't it?

Lard's usual position is win the Championship or you're a disgrace so I am unsure why he is getting himself so wet over a proven bottler.

Sean Dyche has really earned his manager of the year award.

Well the good news is that we were safe from relegation from January.

It's times like this that we miss Shane Long.

You're really not a well man, are you?

Song was bland, he sang it badly, put on no show at all and he looked like a binman. We were lucky to get nil as they say.

He'll be on ITV like he is for the England games.

If you spend the entire season praying for the three relegated teams to come straight back up then good for you. Personally I find it rather more interesting to introduce a bit of variety to the league, considering away days etc. It's what normal people would do.

Honestly couldn't give less of a fuck.

Absolutely delighted that Bournemouth stay down. At least we don't get the three down > three straight back up thing, which would have been absolutely tedious. Even better here's hoping this triggers a Bournemouth financial implosion.

Didn't think I ever replied to you so yes, I get it. I don't think we'll sign this Delaney guy anyway.

100%. If Fonte was still Premier League standard he wouldn't have been bombed out of West Ham United as a laughing stock. He's found his level and good for him.

Is it a picture recycled from images of the Boxing Day Tsunami?

...

This is just garbage. I would suggest it was the far more the case that Van Dijk was used to get Hoedt to sign for us, as clearly that would be an attractive proposition for him. I am pretty sure that is something Hoedt said at the time. Basically the complete opposite of your idea.

Or, just accept that you're wrong about this one.

I agree with Lighthouse, of course. I still have no idea that you need to pretend there was a "genius move" around Hoedt when that wasn't even a concept at the time, no one breathing air believed he was signed to make Virgil stay. You're using it as proof of a failed idea (including posting up that link) but it wasn't an idea and no one at all thought it was.

You'll have to show me that post. All I can see is this: Where the premise is completely false. Hoedt wasn't bought to keep company with an older Dutch man who had already been living in Britain for four years.

Yes, we know. Thats not the same as Kleber Chala and Imants Bleidelis. Virgil had signed for us two seasons before. The main reason they went big on "he's going to play WITH Virgil" was to counter the rumours that Hoedt was the replacement and proof we were about to sell Van Dijk that window.

Morgan Schneiderlin was an Arsenal player from the very start, just on loan to us in a secret deal. As soon as he gets any good he will join them.

I feel like MLG here but it is not really comparable. Virgil had already been in Scotland for two seasons and with us for two more before Hoedt turned up. He hardly needed a friend to help him settle in. Kleber Chala didn't cost £15m.

So the way to demonstrate that "you don't care" about a particular thing is to boo every single time it happens? Clear.

As the season draws to a close, we can look forward to another summer where this guy can interpret every piece of transfer news for any given club as evidence that one of our players is leaving.
