Golac's Cunning Stunts

CB Fry and Laurie - you have been outed as a "namist". How does that feel?

Why is Ralph still around then 🙂

Yes - he is obviously doing the pose of the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio

Do you think he has to have G.Jesus on his shirt to make sure he isn't confused with Jesus H.C?

Forest just bought a defender https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62026740 They were supposedly after Issa Kabore as well, wonder if that ends any interest they had in him

If a bunch of people who watch their team every week are in general consensus a player has played well for them then it's a good positive sign. Just as good as your "couple of mates" I'd say

Nothing new there, just rehashing old news

On the Rangers forum almost without exception they all think he is brilliant

How depressing reading that. "Relaxed about the situation" - that's the one that really gets me angry

I think i read on here he is some sort of teacher. I pity his kids if all he does is ask them questions. When I was a kid all i wanted was to be told the answer

Issa Kabore would be a great signing I think. Named Afcon best young player earlier this year. Looks a real prospect

Seriously wish they had taken van dick when we were selling him. If we get any of that quality in the future, would rather sell them to City than the scousers

I remember that game! Case was brilliant, for me Bally was an absolute revelation when he came in the side. He transformed the way we played - all one touch, quick thinking football. Was special. Lawrie was a master at blending exciting young players with experienced players who had the mentality, skills and experience required to be successful in the top game. The young players we brought through flourished because of it.

They have a team full of goals is what they have - Kane, Son, Richarlison, kulusevski. I'm nervous about that first game tbh

They absolutely will

Newcastle just doing what all the other rich clubs have done - city, liverpool, chelsea etc, buying the best players on the market at both junior and senior ends

Apart from Ings with 12 goals in 20/21 and 22 goals in 19/20 you have to go all the way back to 15/16 for the last saints player to get >10 goals - two players that year in Pelle and Mane. Prior to that Pelle did it again, Jay-Rod and Rickie. I'd take a new version of any one of those!

and wine on tap

we desperately desperately need a 10 surely it's non-negotiable

They are looking strong and I think they're going places with Conte who is an excellent manager. The arse have made some strong signings too

Are either of those going to be in our starting eleven come first game of the season? Would you say Broja had a full consistent season? Do you not thing Livramento needed resting before his injury?

Love how people quote world class performers like Boris Becker. I wonder how many other 17/18 year olds burnt out and never made it or took 5 /6 more years to reach the top if they ever did. I don't expect an 18 year old to come into this struggling team, hit the ground running and consistently produce, especially if he isn't the only young player we'll have in the team. Him and Romeu could work well together with Romeu being a good mentor.

There will surely be a buy back clause. In many ways this sort of deal works better than loan deals

All well and good, but I thought it was bizarre how often Tino was played last season given his age and look how that turned out. These lads need some protection and bring along in a way that takes into account their age. I wouldn't expect an 18 yr old to be a mainstay of the team straight away. Would have thought he'll supplement Romeu. We'll see

Agreed. It was actually worse than total dogshit to be fair
