If it was a ghost written piece by, say, Micky Channon, using those exact same three words would he be a hypocrite too?

So that's a no then. It's highly likely that bit was added in by the journalist ghost writing the piece anyway. "Hoddle in not claiming credit for something he knows he can't claim credit for scandal." String him up.

Apart from three words (the factually correct "my former club") does he actually claim credit for those players? You seem to have got yourself into a bold text/italics fury about nothing.

Didn't need to drag up anything, Just a quick top of my head recall of classic Alpine. None of those things were single posts, but significant rants/campaigns at the time. We are almost certain to finish seventh at least this season, a handful of points off fifth, but our Milka-addicted chum still writes us off as "a tin pot club with no ambition". Alpine only posts a) when we lose b) when forced into his traditional "hindsight" climbdown c) if he runs out of Nutella and gets grumpy I'm just celebrating those facts.

Shane Long you beauty.

Yes Alpine. Every time you are forced to do the hindsight routine, you are quite correct. Every time you do it. Over and over again.

It was lovely to see your "well, obviously it's obvious in hindsight" catchphrase tonight Alpine. You do have to use that an awful lot on here, don't you? Ever wondered why? I mean, it can't be that you're a fu ck wit with no foresight, right? Enjoy your fourth Toblerone of the evening.

We're all looking forward to your contribution to the transfer window on here. I'm kinda thinking it will exactly the same as the last fifteen but, hey, ranting and raving about "doing our business early FFS" will bring meaning to your life I'm sure. Mars bar?

Those Alpine April end of season predictions in full, helped needed on this time last year: 2015 We're a tin pot club with no ambition 2014 [can't actually remember what s hite he came out with this time last year] 2014 (Summer) We will appoint a Steve Wigley level manager. 2013 We're going down, we don't have the guts/balls/bravery that Wigan have 2012 We've bottled promotion, West Ham will overtake us 2011 We've bottled promotion, Huddersfield will overtake us That, combined with his England team speciality ("I hate England and I hope they lose" before proceeding to go utterly apesh it if they actually do lose, or even draw) makes our Toblerone eating chum a consistent source of forum gold.

I like this beach.

That definitely definitely won't happen.

Balls.

Swansea have to win tomorrow now. Happy days.

Radio 5 saying Robbie Fowler has the record.

Are you going to demonstrate your approval by not buying it?

Box of frogs.

He left because we don't have any dreams or ambition.

Pap has deleted his reply to my one and only contribution to his nascent forum. My thread is still there for now for all you CB Fry completists. 22 views. Zero replies. Oh well. Sorry Pap.

...which informed his decision to try and get more game time elsewhere, right?

Just call me Douglas Carswell. I defected to Papsweb, posted something I genuinely thought and still think is hilarious. Apropos of nothing, bish bosh bathos. Effing forum comedy gold. Now, on reflection it was probably on the impenetrable side of dry. Landlord Pap didn't get it and he replied genuinely which makes me feel sad. I honestly thought he might guess it was me. Oh well, good luck with Papsweb, Pap. This site won't be the same without him.

The well trodden route of the post-ban breakaway forum. Not the first. Not the last. We salute you.

Saint Nacho is a delicate soul. Saint Nacho loves the Saints and loves to sing his native half Bolivian/half Shirley accent. The first time I heard this song my heart leapt. Take a quiet moment to appreciate the beauty of this song. Drift onto a pillow of sound, swim into the waves of melody. People who don't like this song are fu cking scumbags.

Because Adidas is a huge, multinational corporation. Completely inefficient to treat every new kit commission as a blank sheet of paper. And not just from a design perspective, but I imagine also from a manufacturing point of view - if they minimise the number of formats of striped kits then you're going be achieving significant efficiencies. Dull product development stuff I'm afraid.

Best dog ever.

Sock puppet. Bletch's awards were year end I think. I know I won one and the warm glow lasted until April.
