Also, it's Bally, not effing Ballie.

League One standard.

WEST BROM ARE NOT PUSSY FOOTING AROUND. WHY CAN'T WE BE LIKE THEM? WHY CAN'T WE BE LIKE THEM?

Please can you inform the club of your brilliant suggestion at your earliest convenience.

I reckon we do have a plan.

Typically poor on day one, typically poor at St James Park. Perfectly acceptable one all to start with.

It's very sweet when people try. Nice effort.

LOL. I look forward to some genius on here telling me how this is, like, completely different to anything Steven Gerrard or Brendan Rodgers did with regard to our players previously. Because Liverpool are all evil and stuff and what Fonte has done here is, you know, fine. Obviously fine.

I think this thread needs to get used to the idea that PFC are going to be contenders this season. Personally I think the best we can hope for is some kind of play-offs choke, ideally at semi-final stage.

LOL. Dry your bed. Let's see how we do this season compared to those galactico packed mega clubs, shall we?

By the end of the night did you have the whole bar singing the Jose Fonte song with you?

The last day of the season is May 16th 2016.

I believe that "this day and age" is about monetising everything that moves.

Dave Jones is the only one for eons to have completed two full seasons, start to finish. Burley and Adkins didn't achieve that.

Only one thing predictable about this thread. Thanks for being there, everyone.

The only explanation I have is UEFA having a clear anti-Saints agenda.

Thanks for being there.

Quite frankly a team from Norway is Odd.

Odd.

I need to hear it from The9.

Basically the seeding is going to be marginal and we'll end up on the wrong side of it, won't we? (sorry to be all Alpine about it).

Noel Edmunds?

I don't need to go on any poxy website. We were signing £1m/£1.5m players when we were in League One. We signed centre backs from the division above. I can remember that far back. We spent big to go up.

What relegation happened in 2007/8 then? We were in the Championship the season before and the season after that season. Your figures don't even sound right anyway, and even if they technically are - I'd like to see how you break this down season by season - you are cherry picking. One killer point people conveniently ignore is small things like a) if we weren't owned by a billionaire we could never have got the fee we got for Chamberlain, and b) if we weren't owned by a billionaire that fee would go into club running costs not spunked entirely on new players and fees. And Batman has already covered the small matter of the millions converted into equity. But, nah, let's look on fu cking transfermarkt.com and pretend we did it all on the cheap.
