It is pretty impressive how pitifully thick one human van be. Clue: she's not part of the government.

Aintforever has not defended for a second. Try harder sweetheart.

Who is all this stuff on this thread about the SNP woman directed at? No one on this forum is defending her, her party have dumped her, Krankie has been completely unequivocal about her view. What point are you making ladies?

The insand outs for 19/20 compared with 18/19 look pretty much comparable on TransferMarkt 19/20 In £15m Out £47m 18/19 In £19m Out £46m He took over in Nov 18, so the major sales of the 18/19 season happened in the summer of 2018 before he turned up. This also makes any comparison to seasons prior to this irrelevant. He was gone by December 2019 so subsequent seasons also irrelevant. Struggling to see huge evidence of "asset stripping". The forum finance/French football experts might need to help me out.

I think the only difference is that it was incredibly easy to burn hundreds of albums off of Napster/Pirate Bay and the other ones back in the day. In contrast, I've pretty much given up on streaming matches now because I've got a fed up of what seems to be a three or four month cycle of "ooh, this is working great" to "whats happened now" to then getting messages etc about "we're trying to fix it" and over complicated fixes from stroppy Latvian IT types. Occasionally I use the links on the match threads here but get sick of the pop ups and the requests to sign up etc etc. Obviously when matches were everywhere during lockdown it wasn't too much of a problem anyway. So I'm a sample of one but I'd say the football bods are doing a better job of fighting large scale piracy than the music industry did.

I like the upgrade. Nice one Steve.

So you think this Scottish MP should be given a 40 min prime time press conference on National TV to explain her actions and rationale behind her decision not to resign? Strange.

Nice article on The Athletic on the background to the transfer. He wasn't particularly on the radar until he became available. Says Theo said he wouldn't go anywhere else (ie West Ham etc) which of course put us in a strong position regarding negotiations. Lots of hope that his attitude/professionalism will be a wider benefit than just his contribution on the pitch, contrasting him with the less team-focused Boufal. The main piece of new information was that Ralph still believes in Elyounoussi, and if the Celtic weren't quite as keen to lock down a deal early summer, he may well have been back in our first team squad for this season and we would not have needed Theo. But that's okay right - after all everyone slagged off Moi so therefore he's going to prove everyone wrong and be brilliant because of Danny Ings or something. Welcome back Ely for 21-22.

We've had worse windows but overall this wasn't a great one. Good to get shot of a few earners. Walker-Peters a decent signing. The other two we'll see. If one of them turns out to be a Mane-style smash hit then great but remains to be seen. Walcott, seems a bit pointless to me. Let's see how he does. Maybe the kids might learn something. All in all the squad still feels wafer thin. We've been lucky with injuries in recent seasons so let's hope that continues.

If we pull off another Mane/Toby deadline day miracle i will upgrade my transfer window assessment rating from "travesty" up to "dumpster fire".

But a few folks are saying we could be bringing in as many as three.

Seems unlikely.

All those Lazio fans currently underwhelmed by that signing are going to look pretty foolish when he proves them all wrong by being sensational.

Just the usual absolute forum bollocks that any player who gets slagged off at the point of signing inevitably goes on to prove everyone wrong and be brilliant. Funny how no one ever talks about the people who wrote off Elyounoussi or wrote off Hoedt or wrote off Danso or Clasie every other player that proved fucking no one wrong because people thought they were shit and they turned out to be shit. So unless you dins are saying that Theo will join us and end up back in the England team like Ings has, then I have no idea what point you are making.

Permission denied.

TBF, no he wasn't. We were linked with him all summer and it was a drawn out negotiation clearly with other parties interested. At the time Hughes or that Ross Wilson said we'd been working on him all that summer.

We're now pretending that Danny Ings was a last minute emergency signing and not a priority we'd been working on all that summer. Fair enough.

That's why I wrote it on a football forum about football.

An option which I am reading on this forum people think is better than Tella and Smallbone and maybe slightly better than our current players on the bench like Long. Not sure we could set the bar much lower for someone coming in on fifty/sixty/seventy grand a week. Gee, what a fantastic option. An absolute travesty of a transfer window yet again.

So as long as we sign someone who is at the same general level of shitness as our current players, it's mission accomplished. Great transfer window.

Why do we need to fork out on huge wages and take a massive injury risk to achieve the benchmark of "he's an upgrade on Will Smallbone". Pretty sure we can find an upgrade on Will Smallbone in plenty of places.

Don't tell me: that women's and racial equality thing is fair enough but its gone too far the other way now.

If you want to associate yourself with people whinging about "woke", the "PC Brigade" and people getting jobs only because of their colour, then that's your lookout, squire. It wasn't aimed at you but if you want it to be then be my guest.
