Not quite enough but a great match.

He'll consider it if we accept an offer. Why wouldn't he?

We had our best season in a generation and one of our very best of all time. Meanwhile, Liverpool had a bog standard/below average season, which finished in disappointment and serious question marks about the manager. But they still competed in the Champions League, and two cup semi finals. Oh, and still finished above us.

1. We've signed a goalkeeper. 2. Manage your expectations. We will not be hugely building up the squad. Well replace those who go but not a lot more. The rigours of the European campaign will be managed by using young players and probably sacrificing the league cup to the kids entirely. 3. We signed Mane on the last day of the window. It's highly likely the same thing will happen again. It's July 2nd.

He's a parish priest or pastor or something like that.

It's not a competition you fu cking moron.

Obviously not.

Even if Cedric has a better season than Clyne, the liklihood is that they will still finish ahead of us. Because they have always been and continue to be better than us.

Atletico Madrid have won the Spanish League 10 times, coming first or second at least once pretty much every single decade since the war. Plus cups, plus European success. The idea that they are some tiny club who have recently only just been successful is yet another Saints forum myth.

Thank heavens someone turns up every 50 or so posts to tell us how pointless this thread is.

Seems like a fee agreed announcement being used a last gasp plea for any other club to come in and hijack it. Stoke being played here, although they might still end up with him.

LOL. So it is you massively over reacting then.

Because we're a tinpot club with no ambition run like a seaside B&B with a Billy Davies standard manager in charge.

Quite right. There isn't a debate to be had.

Liverpool "having their day" seems to involve finishing in second place like last year, or sixth place and two domestic semis and being in the Champions League in the season just gone. If we achieved any one of those things it would virtually open top bus time.

On Five Live they've done a minute on the freak own goal, then 20 seconds in the sports bulletin on the result itself before moving on to Wimbledon and cricket news and the heatwave. Now on to Syria. Basically the same level of five live morning coverage as a Monday Night Sky match involving West Brom. I'm not sure I can handle this massive over reaction. Hysteria I tells ya. Hysteria.

How many millions of new fans watched that game? I'd think the BBC would be delighted with one million in total last night.

An entire four posts on this thread following the result and you have already dished out a "mass over reaction" speech. Would be fascinated to know where and when you think this "mass over reaction" has actually happened. Maybe it's you that has over reacted massively?

Over the last 20 years. If that's your timescale then Liverpool have finished second several times, been in the CL final twice, winning it once and have been in multiple domestic cup finals winning several. So whats your point?

My comment is that you're a fuc king moron.

Is finishing second place last year not a recent enough achievement then? Get over it, Clyne has taken a step up to a far, far bigger club.

Oldham Athletic is only 13 miles from Manchester United so that must be an even bigger derby.

You assume right. I'm going to back myself and suggest we'd have similar levels of knowledge, with mine going back a bit further but stopping at about 1992, when I may have discovered K Cider and girls instead. 28 years old I was. I actually thought BBB for his time was a reasonable gimmick as he has a kind of vintage 1920s comic book feel about him. I was trying to find a video of the time that he burst a little girls balloon with his cigar during his walk on. But no joy, so there's the popcorn one instead. Anyway, I decided to use him for my username for my collectors item solitary post on Bletchweb. In context, still a very funny post.

No, you're just a fu cking moron.

Er, okay then.
