For exactly the same reason, Derby away. Or Forest. Or Burton.

We have "shown it is possible" by spending a ton of money. It certainly was a pretty ordinary comeback story - nothing about our double promotion has "shown" anyone anything not already obvious. Newsflash: richest clubs more likely to be successful. The likes of Blackpool, Watford, Swansea had better stories. Was us plundering other clubs for their players "for the good of football" as the original poster says? We signed players like Billy Sharp for big money basically for six months work then shipped him out on loan before finally getting shot. We plundered Burnley for Jay Rod, and Twente for Tadic. Us being owned by a billionaire meant we went up while other clubs didn't. Don't really understand how we have a right to complain about the cards stacked against us when we've been in an unbelievably fortunate position for half a decade.

Man would never have landed on the Moon from Everest with that attitude.

He is entirely a creature of the English league system and entirely an "English Football" player. Nationality pretty irrelevant there. I think if Long is valued at £12m then in that universe Townsend is £10m. Not sure I particularly want him and pretty sure he isn't falling over himself to come. Can't see it.

The days of us signing well regarded players from Celtic for £10 million plus and signing centre backs from second tier European clubs for £8m are clearly long behind us.

Nothing in his career so far suggests he will keep them up.

You didn't say that did you? Just imagining something that wasn't there. Pretty typical behaviour from you.

The word abuse in the context you used it was moronic yesterday, as it would have been last week, last month, or tomorrow. But you have a pretty weak grasp of the English language so people should cut you some slack.

........

Koeman clearly didn't say anything to the media that he hadn't already said to the players. And we won the game, and we played better in the second half, meaning the "we were poor" stuff is addressed to the media as something that was "fixed" at half time. Happy days. So not really sure how what you've posted here applies in this case.

Just keep imagining that post in your head, sweetheart. Meanwhile today, on this very thread, a few posts up you accuse the board of SFC of "abusing" you. Well done.

Sky have it at 90+1. ART: never knowingly not bonkers.

It wasn't pathetic or weak whatsoever. It was, if anything, an aggressive put down of someone who ranks alongside you as one of this forums biggest fu cking idiots. "Waaah Ralph Krueger abused me". Fu ck me.

Jesus H Christ you type some rubbish.

He hasn't signed for us yet. If he turns down Arsenal for us he's fu cking mental.

What, there really is a stream for this game? Christ.

It never gets old.

Well, let's just agree that my one liner was better than that effort, shall we? Great resource.

You do realise this started with you psycho-analysing/deconstructing a day old one liner. I just did a one liner about the mentalist forum you call a great resource. You're reading gawd knows what into it. And fu ck me, am I coming back to that well. Too easy.

I didn't "scour" that forum. As I said before, I spent about three minutes on there, I knew I'd find a plum pretty quick and I did. After all, it is so well categorised. It really, really is. Its sweet how much you defend it, and how much a one liner gets you typing like mad. Great resource.

I've probably mentioned it three or four times, outside of that 9/11 thread, every single time in a one-line gag form as on this thread. Hardly continuously, and never in depth, purely as gag fuel. If we are talking obsession, I think you seem to be obsessed with me mentioning it, not least with that frankly bizarre mini-essay on what I might be thinking when I posted that one liner. Obsession indeed. (PS - here's what i was thinking: Pap's done a fairly weak sketch about how this forum would be in real life. I know, let's mention a forum Pap swoons over and do a single line about how that might be in real life. Done. Submit. Wipe. Flush.) Well done on people giving you feedback that they, like you, find that forum is a great resource. I agree, it truly is a great resource.

I'd say it was a one liner. Count the lines. I went on that forum, once, several months ago, purely to find something to take the pi ss out of you with (accomplished, probably three minutes in total). But yeah, obsessed I am. Obsessed. I never went on it again, I never will in the future. I have enough material from that three minute visit. It is, like you salivated on here, a great resource. So brilliantly categorised and everyfink.

Better hobbies than what?

More confident about Clasie just because he seems to be spending forever to move anywhere, unless he is just using us to get more money from Porto. He feels like a genuine wow signing if we can pull it off. The other one seems interesting/strange, was expecting a Byram "young cover" signing in that area, this one seems like a straight-in-the-team buy, which leaves either Clyne or Gardos on the bench. Squad game, yes, yes, but seems odd to me, unless RK really is going to unleash three centre backs, Dutch style. Hmmmm.

I think you see everything as a roundabout all the time you swivel eyed nutcase.
