Not really on topic whatsoever but another opportunity to prove that you're a tediously boring twat. Whatever any manager does anywhere else before or after his time at SFC is a complete irrelevance. You desperately wanted Adkins to fail and you still can't stand it that he didn't. Even when he delivered two of the greatest seasons this club had lived through. Those seasons were just delicious. Absolutely delicious. So sorry that they upset you so x x x x x x x

I didn't realise Diallo has played around 100 professional games at various levels and never, ever scored. Wow. Still, more "dynamic" than boring old James Ward-Prowse (9, 5 and 7 goals from midfield in the last three seasons).

Bob Nudd probably still in with a shout.

Fantastic - highly enjoyable Saturday night. Feels like she might win a few grand slams in the coming years.

Jesus Christ just give it a fucking rest.

Edit-Can't be bothered. You're too stupid to understand it.

You're far too stupid to understand.

"All the polls" did not suggest an "overwhelming victory" for the Remain campaign.

Stick to your usual stuff.

.....the entirety of a football forum?

Also known as "Pompey reporter tells player about Ronaldinho comments and writes up players immediate reaction to it, presented as players original thought".

You post a variation of this notion repeatedly on this thread, probablyfor the last five years. In fact, pretty sure it is the only thing you ever post on this thread.

Try and be less scattergun next time. 4/10.

Worth making the point that while the tax percentage point increase is 1.25 points, the actual tax rise is in many cases 10% or more. News going very big on just saying 1 25% but it ain't. If you're on 80k a year its £880 on top of your current £5749 NI bill, so 16% hike. Genuinely huge. 50k = £505 on top of current £4800 so more than 10% hike. £250 a year for someone on £30k is pretty noticeable too, 10% increase as well. Those who have the broadest shoulders etc but jeez. The press will let it slide but would be a different story if it was a Labour chancellor putting that through. But as long as people in Guildford get to keep their £850k houses for their kids that is definitely the main thing.

Well, there isn't a separate National Insurance scheme really. It's just a tax with a name people like slightly more than Income Tax and VAT. Lord D is right - the main beneficiaries are wealthy middle class older/retired homeowners who will get to hold to and pass on the benefits of rising house prices for the last two decades to their kids. All paid by hardworking younger people now, who by the time they hit 70 will find the rules have turned against them again. It's a masterful sleight of hand by the Conservatives. They know people below 40 don't vote Tory so, you know: fuck them. But the news will all be about Boris saving social care.

You mean Lord Frost, right? UK government still too gutless to truly go it alone, which us really strange considering how brilliant everything is going to be.

I'm sure Sepp Blatter had a directive about that.

Quite fancy the England Number 7 playing tonight. Thoughts?

You've decided to announce to the forum that you are going to cancel your subscription to The Athletic for what turns out to be no reason at all, so you tell me.

So you are cancelling your Athletic subscription because you are absolutely delighted with that article. Clear.

Odd. Not sure what is there to get that upset about.

Romero was just a(nother) pointless forum obsession. Just the absolutely zero appearances last season. Zero. But he played 15 times in 12/13 season or something so get him in get him in get him in. FFS. Todays story is welcome as the previous Athletic positioning when McCarthy signed his extension was that next summer the club were targeting a young keeper to challenge McCarthy and replace eventually, another Gunn type if you will. That sounded insane to me, but this story suggests that we are doing what we should be doing: signing an immediate number one for McCarthy to challenge. Not an expert on this guy but I guess Crocker knows him well and it does feel we should be able to work on this in January ahead of the summer if needed.

Interesting that you are intentionally ignoring the stats from the 2020-21 season- you know last season, the one that's just happened, not 2013. Zero appearances. Zero. Does last season not count as "recent history"?

Personally I think its pretty lazy to label him as a "yes man" based on fuck all really, apart from people just not liking him, him not having a witty or sparkly personality like Koeman or Strachan and turgid football. To me he always came across to me as someone that didn't take any shit. He had a method and he stuck to it. Unless people's idea of a "yes man" involves the idea that the club specifically told him to try and score as few goals as possible in the last ten games of the season and he went along with it.

I'm sticking to 17-20. I think it perfectly possible for A Armstrong and Livramento to be outstanding but we can still be in the relegation mix because defensively weak from centre mid to goalie and we are bottlers. Maybe optimistically we might scrape 16th. I think our first team is weaker than last year and the "we've got a bigger squad" thing i think is being over played, especially with our goalkeepers and CBs. I'd rather have a better team.
