With a few outliers, yer typical league table will have the highest scorers and lowest conceded at the top and the lowest scorers and highest conceders at the bottom. It's boring but score more than the other lit will always do you right.

Hang on, my mistake, getting confused. In that case - him not being available for one friendly because he played in another friendly doesn't seem much to worry about. Koeman might have thought him running around vs no hopers is just what he needs right now.

Edited: cheers.

What is happening on Thursday? Not really keeping up with pre season matches.

That made me smile. He's exactly how you come across on here, grizzling about anyone daring to celebrate the England women's team doing well, droning on about "we fought a war for you youngsters" even though your generation didn't, and lest we forget the hilarity of your EUSSR routine. Country club bore to the bone.

Would you mind highlighting which of the last batch of replies need to be filed in the "reasoned/rational debate" pile. It's so difficult to tell them apart from the ham fisted troll drivel. I like to be able to drink in the posts when you're really trying and your little brain is composing a "reasoned" or "rational" response. I like the idea of you leaning back in your chair and congratulating yourself on how rational you're being. Anyway, a list of post numbers of your rational debate replies each night would be a jolly handy ready reckoner for us. Saves trawling through the reactionary, LOL-strewn barely literate garbage you also post. Because you are desperate to have a reasoned debate here aren't you, yes? Aren't you? So, post numbers please.

Well chuffed I guessed Alex Cherednik and Steve Wood.

I'm enjoying Lord D equating the Falklands War with some grand gesture of freedom. Hats off to the armed forces and the sacrifices they make but trying to apply the "we fought a war for you, son" rhetoric to the bloody Falklands is self righteous garbage. Males a change from his EUSSR routine, though.

Wow, what a change. What progress. Now, he done a "considered" response he have. And jolly proud of what he's done, too. And quite rightly. Well done you. Well done. Brace yourself, here it is: Hang on everyone, he done a "meaningful" response too.... In case you missed it. It's pretty meaningful, I've got to say. But this is my favourite post. So sweet, bless him.

Your rational debate stuff is going so well. You were just so right when you told us all that's what you wanted to have. The level of rational-ness in your posting has gone through the roof. Well done. What I like about you now is you've really taken to debating the issues, like a changed man. By no means are you just ham-fistedly typing in whatever infantile drivel enters your head in order to get some reaction and avoid engaging with any discussion point with anyone. Let's see how it's all going. 1. Simple abuse. 2% rational. 2. Have a little pop at the UK, for the 347th time on this forum, using the same "small country" line as several times previously. 3% rational. 3. Basic wasteof typing. 1%: 4. Flailing about gibberish ranting desperate for attention, 0.5%: 5. More flailing about gibberish. 2%. I think it is the LOLing at the end of each post that elevate your arguments to the level of high level rational-ness.

Apparently, some Muslims have just flown a flipping plane into a skyscraper in New York. Unbelievable.

He's done it for all transfers involving his Dutch chums. Nothing to read into.

Laughable. At the end of the day, when the offer comes from Liverpool, most players would be off. It's joining smaller clubs like Saints where the decision is far more marginal, so the need to tap up is far, far greater. Probably why the likes of Ronald and Erwin and Fonte place so much emphasis on tapping up where they can.

In nine months time he could be playing an FA Cup semi final, a Champions League quarter final and be involved in matches to keep United in the title race. That's a step up.

Not sure, but the sooner justice is done and Saints get fined or something the better. This behaviour needs to be dealt with.

Not really. On planet earth £25m footballers do not justify their worth to their new team after 45 minutes of a pre-season friendly against sub-par opposition.

No its not the same. I'd say it's worse and if justice is done we'd get fined or something.

What about Fonte tapping up players for us on Portugal duty? Someone needs to "out" that and if justice is done we will get fined or something.

An utterly pointless thing to make up, and they won't have made it up.

When did we sign Ron Vlaar then?

Could be the Manchester United equivalent of those people here that say how good Gaston looked against some Swiss part timers.

A masterclass in rational debate and by no means a retread of the glib responses you always give. No sir.

You forgot to use your EUSSR little gag.

I'm not debating anything with you, except maybe whether or not I'm debating with you. That's been the case for an awful long time now, and remains the case.

Saint George really doesn't deserve a response as good as that. Excellent.
