I couldn't resist it. I've brought back my "Saint George" character for a few more posts. Sometimes it's just too easy to churn out some troll-by-numbers obvious stuff. I always like using the word 'subject' in speech marks, that's a really good one. But sorry I forgot to put in a "limey" or two. Bit rusty after a couple of weeks off.

Who exactly is in this "crop of in form players showing why they deserved to be in the national team"? I'd suggest none of them, none of them are as good as a young Scholes, Beckham, Ferdindand or Cole. Or indeed the young Wayne Rooney. Whichever players you're talking about, they're nothing more than the "why are we still playing this lot" of five or six years time. We are rapidly turning into Scotland, there's no golden generation that Roy is not picking on purpose.

If the Echo ran a negative story about the disgraceful seat pricing for the last match of the season, would that be a good thing or a bad thing?

Yeah, but, like, Everton.

....and sometimes this thread descends into exaggerated melodrama. Come off it.

Who are we going to sell Tadic and Betrand to? With four years left Virgil would be costing someone thirty odd million, which no one is going to pay. Mane will go somewhere but not convinced anyone any good actually wants Victor. Pelle is only going to to Serie A so just depends how much the likes of Juve want him. I suspect not that much, especially at his age. If finishing seventh in the Premier League is treading water then you're probably supporting the wrong club.

When you say people like Adam Lallana, you basically mean Adam Lallana. But you're right, we all enjoyed the fabulous farewell Nicola laid on for the manager who lead us to two promotions. I mean, what a farewell that was.

I'm not planning on having a reasoned debate with someone who drools over Nicola Cortese's "dignified silence" anytime soon. But thanks for giving me a nice chuckle anyway.

Which clubs actually do that? Just sounds like a situation that is completely unsatisfactory for everyone involved. Are the 20 games each predetermined at the start of the season, or is each keeper told "make one mistake and you're dropped". Also, can you point me in the direction of the outfield players taking part in this twenty games each rolling rota idea? What League games is Fonte getting binned off for to give someone else a go? Ronald doesn't do it for the rest of the squad so the idea he's going to start with the keeper is fanciful at best.

Plenty of LOLs there. Great work as usual.

That makes absolutely no sense as an opening line.

He lives just off the Mane road.

About the same as Liverpool then.

How much can Juve pay in wages these days?

It's possible he has no interest in signing for us to be back up to a fully fit Frazer. He might do, but he might want to be first choice somewhere else.

Lacking in height?

Can't see any of the CL six going for Vardy. He's 29 in January, and I can't see which of those managers would want him. Brendan, maybe, in panic-buy mode, but now he's gone I can't see the likes of Poch or Klopp or Pelligrini going for him. It's the kind if signing that maybe West Ham, Stoke or Newcastle might pay over the odds for, but in reality I'm not sure they would actually end up paying him much more than Leicester would, especially with the new TV deal.

It will be around about now that the big clubs will get together and start paying journalists to write negative stories about Leicester City to destabilise them to prevent them finishing top four. I understand that's how it works anyway. It's definitely what happened last year when they made up that pack of lies about our chief of recruitment going to Spurs. I mean, that was just nonsense.

You think Leeds switching to an all-red kit would be "not much of a bother for them?". Okay then.

Arf. The cult lives on.

Just think how many millions of new fans they will gain China in once Leeds start stepping out in their new all-red kit. They'll look so modern and forward thinking.

I did wonder how long it was going to take Crabby to yet again start reeling off names of random lower division keepers who he just happens to be an expert on and all just happen to be better than "League One standard" England International Frazer Forster. The answer us not that long. Funny he isn't getting all wet over Boruc any more. Pity.

It's nearly worth the club having another mini injury crisis where Ronald is forced to pick Gaston just so we can see the drips on this forum whipping themselves in a frenzy, and making out Gaston's "comeback" is the greatest footballing redemption in living memory. He done an assist he did.

He's basically turned into Howard Wilkinson.

That's definitely what Everton would have done.
