Why is their second place finish "a flukey one-off"? They aren't the power they once we're but their average finish over a decade is still 4-5th, something we are unlikely to ever get close to. I will be forever perplexed how fans of a club who were celebrating their first 7th placed finish for a quarter of a century can be dismissing other clubs league positions as a "flukey one off"

I like it when SarniaSaint makes out he's the helpless victim, earnestly bringing facts forward and trying to have a debate in good faith but being thwarted by horrible people stating opinion as fact and shooting him down. Now I could get the old quote button out and dig out a very brief (or incredibly long) selection of Sarnia's assorted drivel responses containing abuse, obfuscation, misinformation, avoidance of facts, general LOLing and so on. But I won't. Let's just enjoy the helpless keeper of facts and "real life" SarniaSaint. Maybe you people should stop picking on the delicate little flower. He, like, knows facts and everything.

Today feels like a nice day to reminisce about a truly excellent piece of television that I watched and started a thread about five months ago.

Yeah, but we qualified for Europe last year. So really they've had ages.

It would make your eyes water.

Interesting news about this Ian Cathro chap, just appointed as McClaren's assistant at Newcastle. Fair to say until five minutes ago I'd never heard of him but looks like he's had a pretty decent career trajectory up to now. A 28 year old Scot who has been already an assistant in Portugal club football and then at Valencia, who finished fourth this year. Impressive.

And they say all the good posters don't post any more. It's a fu cking golden age.

LOL. Moral superiority from a football parasite. Send all our love to your meal ticket.

The fact he decided to correct someone else for saying Liverpool had finished second last year is the main issue. Didn't need correcting. Anyway, MLG always good value. No harm done.

I remember he posted a similar picture to that two years ago, in May 2014.

In fairness no one normal thinks the season that finished in May 2014 is "two seasons" ago. If this was an even numbered year we'd still be in World Cup/Euros time. No one's even played a bloody friendly.

Well, it's disappointing but at the end of the day he is joining a club that finished second only one year ago. We all need to pray that Cedric proves to be an excellent replacement.

You couldn't make it up.

What were you expecting from "a tinpot club with no ambition"?

For all his faults Cortese never actually said we would ever "buy for it" anyway which is where his famous "don't ask if...ask how" phrase came from. The only people who deluded themselves that we were suddenly going to start spending on CL-level fees and wages were saps on this forum. Some seem to be still jolly upset about it to this day. Waaaaaaaaah.

You can just as easily say none of those players signed for us because of the CL vision and none of them stayed for it either.

And he's still going.

Nah. As with most conspiracies it requires far too much organisation, discipline and control to pull that off, versus the relatively straightforward nature of a balls-up, which is what it was.

The cost of taking the entire stadium and raising it 200 feet off the ground and constructing a set of water flumes cascading off the structure into the Itchen will cost more than building a small monkey petting zoo in the car park near the megastore. We won't be doing either of those, either.

And he's off again.

We need to make this happen, mainly because his real name is Gilbert.

Try one year.

I only ever go on this forum through Tapatalk so never see the polls. So can someone update me on the results once we've had 100 or so votes? I just need to know for sure empirically which club is the best.

Find it highly unlikely we'd sign another keeper, unless we are shipping Gazzaniga out. Which I don't think we'll do.

You do realise Kelvin played for us in the Championship in seasons other than the one we got promoted in, right?
