CB Fry

The seasons in question including being in administration and prior to the takeover. Brilliant. Talk about fatuous.

Have a peanut. Never said I like all of Stoke's way of working and there is tons I love about our way of working and am very proud of. But carry on.

So has our spend been modest or not then? Stoke's vision? Owned by rich local rich dude. Found a manager to get them success and stick with them. Not wa nking on about the Champions League. Not being run by a rat faced utter cu nt. Enough for you? Do find a post from me on how they play. Go on. Please do.

Nice to see the dinlows out in force. Afternoon chaps. This proves we have been spending like a lottery winner on crack. A higher net spend than Spurs who actually got in the champions league. And we've spent all but one of the seasons under review in the lower leagues, two seasons in the third tier. And mugs on here call our spending modest. Secondly, if anyone can find anything remotely like me saying I want us to play like Stoke then quote it up, and I will get it tattooed on my arse. Also any comment from me about Stoke not spending much, or being restrained or conservative in their spending. Post it up, bullshi tters. Finally, lets all remember the visionaries want us to do so much better than Stoke with their solid mid table, cup final and European adventure. We're a megaclub aspiring far beyond all that rubbish, so why the obsession with what they spend?

Almost like they couldn't give two sh its about us.

Local business announces exclusive interviews with not one but two employees of said business. It's amazing how they have pulled this off.

Pretty much. 4 wins probably enough, 5 definitely. Draws sort themselves out.

Not difficult to forget that Steve Guppy played for us being that he never did.

Or not. Being knocked out of a couple of cups in one season does not, funnily enough, wipe out decades of history. They can go down and they'd still be bigger. Just like Leeds are still bigger than just about half of the Prem now, including us.

It won't matter if we raise it to twenty million. If the player wants to go to Liverpool then he'll go, esp if Liverpool have put in an acceptable bid, which it sounds like they have.

HE'S GOING TO...LIVERPOOL. Probably. ELEVEN MILLION SQUIDS.

Javi came over on a Spanish exchange and stayed with one of my mates from school back in the early nineties...who knew it would turn out so mental. I was on S4E as Idiotcountry, then a longer version of my current name and have been CB Fry for years now. Joined in the Strachan era, during the FA Cup season I think, and I have been consistently right about everything ever since. My main contribution is inventing the HCDAJFU acronym. I'm putting that fu cker on my gravestone, losers.

Fair play to the Candyman. Lets see if we get a mention in the morning.

You're not.

The only thing embarrassing here is your post. Greenslade is an experienced journalist of some standing, and former editor of a national paper. So clearly not "so called" anything. And the article is not "heavy handed", its written in a pretty dispassionate matter of fact way. The only thing I can see that is "ludicrous" is the unbelievable preciousness of people on here when anyone, anywhere dares to pass any comment on the club. Just pathetic. Seriously mate - how much "maximum inconvenience" have you ever encountered from a TV camera crew. Even if you are in a wheelchair I still suggest the answer is none at all, ever.

I'm happy to lead the action team for this, but only if I get to go on South Today and say how brilliant the detailing is on the shoes. I know just the person to do it too. He's never created a bronze sculpture in his life but he is a lifelong Saints fan. And did a cracking job on my tax return the other week.

Please tell me you're not an English teacher. If you are, please keep away from my children. Your moans are pointless archaic whining. Language evolves and English in particular evolves more quickly and more interestinglier than any other language. I'd stick to writing letters to the Daily Express about incorrect apostrophes or how you once heard a child say "candy" in the post office queue. Invariably, none of this aint got like nothing to do with Saints and that's no lay.

You're thinking of Tahar El Khalej. That's the next thread.

Train station is not slang unless you live in 1942. You sound like someone who needlessly gets upset by split infinitives.

Agreed. Bizarre the club would make such a big issue from something so small.

...doesn't that make the club look more petty? That's the story here, the sheer pointlessness of it.

Always seemed great in August and then again in May, with not much in between.

I hesitate to use such a phrase, but yes.

This entire thread sounds like implied criticism of Cortese. I'd like to know what you people criticising are going to do about this. Are you planning a march? A sit in protest? Hijack a Leibherr crane, paint it red and white and drive it to Berne? I'll take it as a given that you will never go to another game. Any criticism of the current board must be backed up with clear demonstrable action, preferably incorporating violence. Otherwise you are just moaners with no conviction. True Saints fans with conviction think everything Cortese has ever done is brilliant.
