Given how good we are at picking up points from a losing position this season, it's a relief that we've finally conceded

Cheers. I do have a habit of over-analysing things so apologies for that. We march on!

I said 'focus on', not dwell, but anyway.... FWIW, I happen to think your views are well balanced but there are plenty who will only focus on the negatives and ignore the positives. (And, yes, there are those that do the opposite too, which is equally unbalanced).

Ah, yes, that could be it. Right, blue line time....

I don't wish to dwell on this and, yes, "it's time to move on" I agree, but as an epilogue to the Gakpo saga, surely someone is being economical with the truth here...? Why would a club that "don't sell our best players" agree a transfer fee and player terms with another club...? Anyway... Onwards and upwards....

I was talking in general, not about your good self specifically.

Fair points sir 👍

I guess the pragmatists amongst us are simply concentrating on the positives of any given scenario rather than the negatives. Obviously, most situations in life have a balance of positive and negative attributes. Some people focus on the positives, others on the negatives. Nothing wrong with either approach to life per se, just different. Life is a rich tapestry of convoluted paths. And long may it continue. Vive la difference! (cliche count = cliche count + 7)

I think one positive to come out of the 'not getting Gakpo' situation is that Adams now knows that he's the no.1 striker until the next window. I've often felt his sometimes below par performances have come from dented confidence levels due to being played out of position and/or dropped to the bench. Now he's the 'main man', and the formation change suits him, I think that'll do his confidence a world of good and we'll start to see some consistency that wasn't there before. Almost like a new signing you could say... (as they say in cliché land... Are you still keeping count Hypo? )

A very good window on paper. Obviously we won't know how good for sure until later in the season. Getting Gakpo would've put us in 10/10 territory but looks like we may have been scuppered by a van Gaal intervention having agreed a deal in principle with the club and player. Hey ho.

No way can we be re-signing Broja... The Saintsweb Forum intelligentsia informed us that ship had sailed months ago...

Ok darling 😘

Highlighting that he's as accurate as a broken clock = salty. Maybe put 'new dictionary' on your Christmas list this year...

Just to be certain, I'm gonna wait for Alex Crook's definitive declaration that it's off.

HCDAJFU....

Missing the point (just for a change) but hey ho. Life's too short....

How many times has he predicted the same sort of thing and it hasn't happened? He's bound to get something right every now and then. Doesn't make him Nostradamus and/or a reliable source. Surely even you can see the non-sequitur? #lawofaverages

Cheers Adam 👍

Yes, in the same way that the Daily Express get an Armageddon weather forecast right once every 37 years...

Yep, he's historically quick off the mark to quash any often reported targets that that don't come off....

Is it me or is Adam Blackmore eerily quiet...?
