Being that the interviewer would have asked him about the speculation, meaning he has to give an answer of some kind, I seriously doubt there is anything at all he could have said that would stop you saying/thinking that.

Are you prepared to accept that Jeremy Corbyn will never be Prime Minister now?

Another masterpiece right there.

Still don't understand what not coming back to ground has got to do with anything. Your starting position is people only do right by people so they can come back and bask in gratitude or affection at a later date? You can accept that she wants to do right by us for reasons in and of itself? Because I do. If you can't accept that I am allowed to look at Chinese football club ownership as something as a flop in the UK in general and simultaneously think that Katharina will endevour ro do right by us then God help you. Is everything in your world that linear? There's shades of grey in the real world sunshine.

You mentioned coming back to the stadium not me. You have no idea whether she is selling for "maximum profit" or any details of any deal but insinuate what you like. She's been a fine custodian of the club, she will sell it on in good faith and that will be that. Era over. I think she deserves the chance to sell it on before people start questioning her morals. You don't, fine.

Aintforever does not understand this concept so I'd advise giving up now before he starts listing out all the Tory MPs that supported Brexit again.

Odd you accuse me of talking "football supporters nonsense" then go on to come out with pure football supporters nonsense yourself. Come back to the stadium when she's sold it? What are you on about? What kind of measure is that? All I am saying is she has been much more than just an excellent custodian of the club/business and I think she will sell it on to someone in good faith that they will take it forward in the right way, rather than any old Arab or Chinese with the biggest briefcase of money. Personally I think through her behaviour and actions over the last five years shes earnt that respect. If you don't agree that's up to you. I don't expect her to continue to come back to the club when she's sold up like David Brent hanging around the reception of Wernham Hogg. She will sell and let the next lot get on with it. But that a bloody long way of accusing her of having no morals who will sell to anyone for cash.

Chinese ownership has been a roaring success in the Midlands so what's not to love. Please can we have Zola as manager thank you please.

Nothing says aspiration like a decade of trolling a forum in ever more transparent ways under multiple usernames. Have you ever thought about doing a series of inspirational talks to paying guests in youth clubs and church halls?

Well I do. She's done a heck of a lot of for our football club but you go ahead and insinuate that she's only after a quick buck. And then top it off by pontificating about "morals". Classy stuff.

If we were 16th right now having lost lots of games 4-2 and draw lots 2-2 this forum would still be in the grip of a meltdown from precisely the same dins. (Why can't we hold on to a lead FFS) Lets also remember the same dins have sneeringly written off the progress of young/skilful players as being by default ("yeah, but that's just because he's played"). So lets not pretend people want that either when there is proper moaning to be done. Conversely, convert a handful of our drab 0-0s to equally drab 1-0 wins, put us in 7th and it would be party time.

All this talk of tactical voting and alliances on the left but it is pretty clear that May will win a landslide helped in no small part from huge switching from UKIP to the Tories. It happened last night and will happen in a big way next month. UKIP+Tory vote 2015 will annihilate every other party in 2017. And still the Corbynistas will blame every other #$#$ than their guy.

You do it. The rest of us couldn't give a flying fu ck.

Don't ruin it.

He's our chief executive officer.

I don't understand what you mean by "target", then - European football is the target every season, it was the target this season and we got pretty close to delivering it at wembley, which would have three years in a row, flipping good for a team our size (I can't think of any clubs like us in my lifetime that have done it. Villa, but they are much bigger than us). So where has anyone said it wasn't the target? Yes we have made some mistakes and dropped back a bit this season but there you go, it was going to happen eventually. So you are saying "of course we won't finish top 6 or 7 every season" but you seem to be struggling to accept a season when we are falling short and pretending we have changed the target. We haven't. We target European football every season. Fact. Happy now?

No idea what Tottenham have got to do with anything, suffice to say throughout that entire time you are talking about they remained a far bigger club than us, mid table finishes or not, and we finished above them only a handful of times during that period. Of course Tottenham wouldn't be happy with a 10th place now, but our equivalent to that would be mid table in the Championship, and no one on her is saying they'd be happy with that. So what's your point? Targets do change over time, which is why Leeds and Villa have a target to get promoted back to the Premier League. Ours has changed from promotion, to staying up to challenging for the European places. The target hasn't changed. We've fallen short this season but anyone that thinks we were going to be top six without fail every single season forever from now is a moron. I have no expectation whatsoever that new investment will suddenly turn us into Manchester City or anything like it. KL wants to sell up because of she doesn't have the stomach for the ongoing investment season after season to stay where we are, not because she hasn't got the investment to smash the champions league (which she hasn't got either). I doubt very much that any new owner will deliver that, outside of a Leicester freak-show.

Fu cking laughable. This season is the only season we ever tried in the League Cup because before that we were big old mega-club Southampton too busy working on European domination to worry about the little old league cup. So Cedric, VVD, Bertrand, Wanyama, Tadic, Mane, Davis and Pelle are reserves now then? Because that's who played in our six-one cup tonking under Koeman. Plus Long, JWP, Clasie, Romeu and Stek. The only play who could be described as a reserve in that game was Caulker and even then he was a recognised name signing. I'd do the same exercise for the Sheffield United atrocity the season before (hint: Morgan, Victor, Mane, Long, Fonte, Bertrand, Forster, Clyne) but you've embarrassed yourself enough already.

I'm celebrating the fact we got to a cup final. It was brilliant.

I remember you drooling about them signing Benteke and Townsend less than 12 months ago.

Hah. I was there too. The point stands - 2 in forty years still means one is worth celebrating.

To be honest, I think not that much overlap. I think of the people on this forum who have always valued a cup final over a higher league finish are far less likely to be Puel-out nutcases. People like Whelk, VFFT or Lord D I am pretty sure agreed with me on cup vs league and agree with me now that at very least the manager deserves to at least finish the season.

This guy knows his stuff. Can't see Rodgers bailing on Celtic just yet, but he will after one more season especially if he has a decent crack at the CL next year. His work will be done. He is made for us and perfectly capable of getting to a disappointing 9th place with some regularity.

This from the guy blubbering like a baby every sodding week about what a TV pundit says about us.

We haven't reached a major cup final for the best part of forty years. Forty years. But celebrating that fact is tin pot now? Well I did celebrate it and will be celebrating it for the rest of my supporting life. It's perfectly possible we won't make another one for a decade or two or more. People in 1979 thought the next one would be quite soon after too, no doubt. I can only assume you are thirteen years old because fu ck me you need to support the club actually in front of you, not the one you think you should be supporting.
