You are trolling by rolling out your same comedy "opinions", and you can see you're treating this weekend as your Christmas Day. Noticeable and gratifying you are getting fewer bites than previously and so you are notching up the trollery to desperately get a reaction which unfortunately is leaving a few holes in the comedy logic. But, You are having a great time anyway so carry on fishing.

We engineered our exit from Europe because we were scared of relegation but at the same time the whole club was complacent following our recent success. Even Daleks trolling routines, once the gold standard of relentlessly saying the same thing over and over again, have gone to pieces. He's all over the place. But you can tell he is having a brilliant time and convinced he is simply hilarious.

Well, yeah. Not really convinced that chucking in untried kids into a failing team. The senior pros need to sort themselves out.

£10m-plus players in every department including the bench, almost all signed on his watch, suggest they aren't that *****e and they are behind him.

We finished seventh last season with the highest points total ever achieved in the Prem era. We made some changes as you say but ended up with a better team. Really palpable now how that fact has annoyed certain people on this forum so much now desperate to have another bite of the cherry. Let's just pretend last season didn't happen.

Not "dross", then? Jolly good.

You seem to be confusing me with John Moston.

Make your mind up. They're all dross then. Fine, if you think so. When you sell a player to Manchester United for £28m quid, it is likely you will end up with a player worse than that player in his place. Otherwise Manchester United would have bought that player instead. Koeman has millions of pounds worth of players all over the pitch. It's his team.

Apart from Cedric, who was our front line replacement for Clyne and I agree hasn't quite been up to it, who are the others "replacements" for? Caulker is cover for Gardos and third/fourth choice CB. Juanmi is a replacement for who? Elia? Who was a replacement for no one, maybe Jay Rod. Who is still here. And you're blaming "the board" for signing a player who spent a year playing under, er, Erwin Koeman. Damn that board. But yeah. I'd say Caulker and Martina and Juanmi and "the board" are definitely to blame today.

Who is the "dross", then?

You think Koeman had nothing to do with signing Clasie from Feyenoord and fellow Dutchman Virgil who we also tried to sign last summer and fellow Dutchman Stekenlenburg. I'd say he was more influential in signing three of our key recruits than this mysterious "board" you refer too. So, at best, you can blame "the board" for Cedric and Romeu. Romeu who used to play at, er, Barcelona and also at, well, Valencia. Such a strange coincidence. He signed players for fees in excess of anything Leicester paid this summer and can put out a team with multiple £10m players in defence, midfield, attack and on the bench, with one on goal when fit. He has the tools.

Rewound it and he said it. Ridiculous. We looked terrible in the highlights, terrible. Koeman fuming, but I think this is his doing.

When was Harry Kane on loan at Saints? I'm thinking never. Pretty sure Motson just said it on MOTD.

To be honest I don't think I can remember many discussions about that particular issue. But personally I'd like Mane here scoring 15 goals a season until he retires in 10 years time. That, for me would be better than flogging him to recoup the transfer fee which is what you seem to be suggesting we simply must do.

It's not as ridiculous as Leicester City bring top of the league at Christmas.

12th at Christmas last year? Aston Villa. So we're relegated next season, then.

When did I ever talk about protesting against Cortese?

Please start organising a protest. Please. I'd effing love that.

We've bought quite a lot of ready made Prem standard players from Forster and Bertrand, Pelle, Mane and Tadic to Virgil. Pretty much everyone we've signed under Koeman was signed to be "ready made". Clasie was signed to be ready made but hasn't quite made it yet. But of course he's one of those cheap dross replacement players we bought on the cheap from the bargain bin what with him being more expensive than every single player signed by Leicester this summer. The only exceptions are Martina and the loans we made last Jan. I'd hope if we do make signings in January they will be ready to go into the first team and not be Elia standard.

Consisting of things I don't say.

I was replying to your list of things you decided I think or have you forgotten you'd posted that. It's about four posts up from here, maybe ten minutes ago. Jog your memory.

Why would I say we're doing just fine? We're on a poor run of form. What would I say you're deluded about? On the Champions League I would say what I've said time and time again. Read and listen to what Les Reed actually says. You won't, because you never do. On Leicester I would say what I've already said a couple of times - they show how it can happen for a club like us, proving mine and Les Reed's point exactly. I for one really hope they do it with their players they spent three and six million quid on. You could pay attention to the world around you and seek to understand it. But we can't be having that can we?

You could have used that time to watch the press conference and actually listen to the manager. But that would bring you dangerously close to learning something and we can't have that.

You are creaming yourself over those quotes aren't you? Probably another couple of threads you could bring it up on. Worth mentioning Koeman was asked a question to the tune of "if you don't get results in the next three games, are you in the relegation scrap" to which the obvious answer is yes. Ronald didn't stroll into the press room and shout "listen up folks, reckon wee going down here, put that in your paper ". In the same conference he went on to talk about fine margins and how close we would have been to Spurs right now if we'd just beaten Villa. He gave at least as much time to that conference to looking upwards as he did downwards. Sorry to spoil it and stuff.
