I'd be happy with that tbh- last season was a bit of a one off in regards to where a lot of teams finished and I fully expect the usual suspects to be at the top again this season

And feck me don't we know it![emoji6]

Good stuff - welcome aboard!

If that is the case - where are the official announcements?

I think they will but I've been (hilariously) wrong on a few occasions. [emoji6]

Not aimed at you GitR but who would be seen as a Mane replacement i.e. names? As IMHO he is/was a bit unique so never going to be able to replace like for like.

Which is kind of my point SM. Some people seem to think we can offer the wages etc that some of the big clubs dish out - we cant, we never have and we never will. If we were to do it for even one player then the rest would expect the same and as we know that path will lead to financial ruin. As to 16/17 figures being more comparable - to a point yes as we are increasing our off field revenue/income but I doubt we will even be as high as spurs are for the 14/15 figures stated.

Thanks for that. Certainly shows the gap we are working with. We maybe able to catch a couple of the ones above but its doubtful given that villa have had a couple of poor seasons and West Ham have a new stadium that has cost them next to nothing.

The problem for their fans is that history bares no resemblance to reality.

Cheers - I'm relaxed about it all after all SFC haven't let me down in recent times

Funny isn't it esp as none of their ****** fans have come back on here to preach about what they are going to do in the season ahead. #onthepitchin84

Unless the new manager gets cart blanche to pick his squad and play the system he wants I have to agree with you.

Are you dalek in disguise?

31st of July

So they won't be playing then?

Austin? JRod?

Always find it strange when that happens

How many Muslims do you acquaint with? Have you ever discussed any of this with a Muslim?

I have loads of Muslim acquaintances and not one think like that.

Great player - seems to have endless energy apart from his other great attributes

As above - sympathies go out to all affected by this terrible event.

Both have proved that they are not out of place at the international level. Fonte is our rick plus a great captain and has been for some years his marshalling of the defence is outstanding. Cedric will come good for us this season coming - by the sounds of things he is a natural fit for the way in which Puel likes to play.
