A roman army officer who has scored 100 runs in a single first class innings.

Still reads like the ramblings of a fantasist to me, with a smattering of obvious rent-a-troll button pushing phrases designed to get a reaction. He lives in Sholing. I know it. You know it. He knows it.

Angry from Sholing is off again I see. Go on, go and have a wander down to The Swan for a pint. Might cheer you up.

The life cycle of any football team will mean that is going to happen anyway. If you'd rather we only bought players that the richest clubs won't touch with a bargepole then fine, but we'd likely be a sh it team. Producing a team every season with two or three players the top four want is a great way to maintain us as a club in the top ten. There isn't any other strategy that will do that any better, if you accept as you need to that we will never try and match Champions League wages. Seriously, our current strategy is the most sustainable we'll get to.

We do it because it is sustainable. And really don't understand why it wouldn't be. It's happening at football clubs all over - say Celtic, or Feyenoord - so what's the problem?

I hope someone does. A forum legend and no mistake.

All official now. Klopp appointed.

You're an odd one.

I remember you getting upset about it but that's about it.

Quite. If the worst we can say about our Chairman is that he's a bit annoying then I think we're doing all right.

Maybe you could go and ask? At worst it's a bus ride or maybe only a short walk away for you.

Except it is perfectly possible Newcastle could finish 15th. It's October.

It's not you disagreeing I have a problem with, it's the fact you are full of it. Weeks and weeks of "you might as well vote Tory" pompous reactionary rubbish about the previous Labour governments, and previous Labour leaders before we find out you previously supported David Miliband, the dictionary definition of a soft left Blairite. Full of it. Then high-horse grandstanding about how horrible and greedy everyone else is before we find out what you'd really do if you had the chance, and you'd be as greedy as anyone else. You spend more time disagreeing with yourself than you do with me. I apologise for saying you receive benefits, it's great you are getting by with no state support at all, fair play to you.

What the hell is a Cornish Game Hen?

What, in Sholing? Unlikely.

People might not be right or left all the time but all I know is you are full of sh it all the time. Previously when I have pointed out you are usually incoherent and post inconsistent contradictory rambles you've said in your defence that you're are disabled. If that's not the case, fine.

Those certain people, eh. Must be awful to have rape apologist typed at you on a forum. Awful. Anyway, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2888732/Ched-Evans-s-rape-victim-forced-FIFTH-time-flee-trolls-Attorney-General-comes-fire-father.html

Forum gold. I think I prefer the knee jerk "he's sh it" nonsense than the kneejerk "he's greatest for 15 years" nonsense. Both equally silly. I take it the 15 year benchmark player is Dean Richards, right?

How as a humble PAYE slave go about paying more tax? Start buying 40 Bensons a day and chucking them in a skip on the way to work?

Never in the history of football forums has a contributor been so obviously not a native or citizen of the United States of America. Fair play for keeping it going though.

Hockey Saint is full of sh it. He's already admitted if he could be a multi property owning landlord living off private rents he'd do it. Don't be fooled he has some principles at play, he just wants his benefit money back.

Indeed. £1m strikers, midfielders and a centre back from the league above for nigh on two million quid while in League One. Yeah, a limited budget. "Limited" to "about five to ten times more than all the other clubs".

In fairness the strategy is pretty clear. We aren't going to spend big to crack the top 4. Not going to happen under this regime. If finishing in the top ten of the Premier League for, say, ten straight seasons is "treading water" and "spinning your wheels not going anywhere" then yeah, I'll happily tread water and spin my wheels. Ask a Sheffield Wednesday fan, or a Forest fan, or Derby, or QPR, Sheffield United, Leeds etc whether they could possibly stomach "spinning their wheels not going anywhere" like we are. I think they'd take it. Mane will go once we receive a sizable bid from a top 4 club, and Mane says he wants to go. We then try and bring in the next Mane. That's pretty much the size of it. Get used to it because it isn't going to be any different any time soon.

I remember reading that at the time and being disgusted that Lionel had completely refused to mention the goalie from Southend United. Clueless he is, clueless.

Of course, Alpine is in no way a troll.
