AR-10, I'm hearing whispers we've been linked with a Dutch centre back from Lazio. You been told anything?

Why did we sack our previous manager for finishing eighth then?

And thank feck you aren't if you can't spot two posts from the same contributor within a post of each other. For the "fecking" record, I think this is good news all round. See my post saying "Brilliant news".

Not being able to hold down a place in the side is the new gold standard in judging player quality. Which other fringe players from teams that finished below us should we be looking at?

Terrible news.

Brilliant news!

That'll keep the big club predators at bay for another window.

Being prematurely knocked out of the cup by lower league opposition for definitely not the first time and definitely definitely not the last time is what qualifies as "really suffering in the real world" now? And you're accusing other people of being "pious"? Get over yourself you absolute plank.

In fairness they had made ten changes so we had to try and outsmart their big guns.

The big old Christmas tubs of Quality Street are already in the supermarkets, so all in all this is a perfect week for Alpine.

That's the last time I buy a bag or box or jar of Carabao, I can tell you.

I miss Claude.

We are definitely not going to score.

When does the Solent feed start on the website? Half seven?

You'll have to keep your "THIS IS WHAT I FEARED WOULD HAPPEN" routine for another day, petal.

Well, its only about eight more times.

Oh yes. Absolutely intentional. You can see they thought of how to crowbar a VVD mention into the press release. It could have very easily been a vague "great addition to the squad" or "defensive option" but oh no. Fair play we are standing our effing ground here.

Feels like a good signing, potentially future proofing us when VVD does go next summer (January if he is being a total helmet). Still have a week to sign another attacker.

Wrong. What a surprise.

That would be one hell of a meltdown.

You've always stood up for him on here, you must be delighted your faith has paid off.

I've heard they are tracking that Korean striker called Lika Yung-Bum, keeping tabs on German centre back Deffo Ashirtliftter and are closing in on a deal for American starlet Iama Massivebender. Rumours of them being linked to Belgian wing-backs Offens Ifstereotipes and Disteoff Isnotfunnee are apparently wide of the mark.

We can get into the semi finals of the league cup before we kick a ball in the FA Cup so it's pretty dopey to have that attitude.

At least we are getting the entertaining 2-2 matches that people said they wanted last season. So should be no complaints at full time.

Really? I was watching the test match on it last night.
