CB Fry

Don't think you appreciate the club went from strength to strength after he'd gone, on and off the pitch. 7th, then 6th plus improvements on commercial fronts as well. I know some people didn't get their little dream scenario of the club going to sh it after their heroes had gone but history will show, forever, that it simply didn't happen. Strength to strength.

So when all the stories came up about his missus not settling around Southampton it turns out what she was angling for is a move to the East Midlands. Maybe she just likes Pork Pies.

This from someone who uses the word "dipsh it" as a form of abuse.

Still seems a very unlikely appointment but bloody well done to Claude if he gets it, and good luck to him. In other news, Leicester have qualified the quarter finals of the League cup.

The Glasgow Kiss of Death. Look out Watford, it'll be you lot next.

Why don't you interpret the question any way you like and then answer it?

Being that he was on the pitch for all of ten minutes that doesn't seem that unfair. Arsenal, Spurs, Man City, Brighton and Huddersfield had particularly good weekends as well. There are other football clubs.

Brilliant stuff from Eric Black to bring him on at that point.

We're going to end up in the Guinness book of records aren't we?

Funnily enough I was borderine sh itfaced and I've only just remembered I'd written it. Always fun to mock the little cultists like you sweetheart x x x

I'm the man that definitely was responsible for signing Dan Harding. That was really me. Honest it was. And I invented Pochettino by myself. That was me. All me. I'm like a proper football genius. Just a matter of time before I am made chief of, like, the football team of the World United or whatever and stuff. That is a thing, isn't it, right? That is what the chairman of A.C. Milan said because he said I am too brilliant for them and should take my football knowledge to the world stage. I am the greatest football man that football has ever known as I remember saying to Dean Hammond after I and I alone suggested his signing and then i myself completed his signing because I knew all about Dean Hammond. I am football and everything.

Yeah, nice mythical reworking of the actual cult on this forum - the fuc king drips who genuinely believe an Italian banking ponce in Cuban heels tottered into Staplewood and immediately identified Dean Hammond, Dan Harding and Radhi Jaidi as just the players to fit into the squad. #footballman #onetruecult #hediditallyouknow

Disappointing result for what I was led to believe was the most perfect football club in the world.

I've heard we've been monitoring him for a number of years and our extensive black box analysis reports have revealed that he just so happens to be precisely the perfect candidate for us right now.

"*I would expect that the negotiation phase of most of them to be concluded within between 12 and 24 months. So within two years, before the negotiation with the EU is likely to be complete, and therefore before anything material has changed, we can negotiate a free trade area massively larger than the EU.*" You can pretend that article doesn't say what it says but it's pretty clear that it does. He expects us to have the US and others in the bag before we've even left the EU offically. The effing retard. 12 and 24 months after the appointment of the new Prime Minister.

And reading that piece, the date of September 9th was assuming that date being the appointment of Cameron's replacement following the full process of the Tory leadership contest. This was the only thing actually delaying the kicking off of all of these piece of pi ss trade deals. So in reality we can assume deadly David actually meant 12-24 months from the appointment of the new Prime Minister, which turned out to be in July, so just over a couple of weeks so after the referendum RESULT. Tick tock indeed.

If we can survive this season, is say a decent bet for next summer. Difficult to see him doing more than two seasons at Celtic.

...

Which "higher ranking opposition" did Branfoot beat on the way to the ZDS cup final then? Finalists Forest finished 8th in the league that season. The team we beat in the semi (southern final) was Chelsea who finished 14th that season. The team we beat in the round before was West Ham who finished bottom. And before that the mighty Plymouth and Bristol City. None of those represent "higher ranking opposition than in the LC last season" who were, lets remind ourselves - Man United (6th), Liverpool (4th), Arsenal (5th), Palace (14th - just like "higher ranking" Chelsea in 1992) Sunderland (bottom but same as West Ham in 1992). What is the point of coming up with such horsesh it? Is it because it "suits your argument"?

Well, we will need a high profile European manager with just enough vague plausibility to get everyone excited (Emery, Tuchel) before we don't appoint them and snap up a middling no-mark who just so happens to be unemployed. It's worked for two summers so why break it? So let's all pretend it's going to be Ancellotti before we end up recruiting some 38 year old with nice hair whose had two good seasons in Belgium but resigned in September. Bring it on.

We sacked a manager for finishing eighth. Therefore the club do not believe that eighth is good enough - in that context it is a perfectly reasonable assumption to make that the man appointed to replace the manager who was sacked for finishing eighth would be expected to deliver a better outcome. The fact that it looks like we have gone horrifically backwards suggests that something has gone badly wrong.

Your boys got out if jail this afternoon mate, you must be well chuffed to just get the point in the end though.

Correct.

By any measure you like, its pretty obvious that Sam Allardyce would do an infinitely better job than our current manager. Not saying I want him but it is not even up for debate that he is clearly more competent. Its pretty obvious another manager could do better than this guy - I can dimly recall someone taking the same players (minus Lemina, and solid CB options) to eighth last season.

By that logic, this forum rejected Pellegrino as well, so what's your point?
