The Kraken

Who on earth is skintsaint, by the way? I know of justmike of course, the flag debacle brought him to prominence. Can't say I've ever noticed Mr Skint before now. Perhaps the new mongboard SS can give us a run-down of their backgrounds and perhaps a introduction to what type of moderation we can expect from them?

Consider me thoroughly underwhelmed at this latest development.

He shot 80mph on the old radar gun for Soccer Am back in League 1. He's clearly lost it since. Get him out.

When does the poll get going for Mod-Idol? I'm ready to vote, dammit.

A local derby and potentially their last ever home game as a league club, shameful they can't sell it out.

I like Mick, he's in my top 10 of people to go for a pint with. Harry is obviously a c*nt. Plus he's going to be angling for a job back in football so is just going to pander to, well, everybody.

Why?

Good moderating Turkey, keep that up and the job's yours.

That's no bad thing; neither have looked like they'll be good enough for anything more than relegation. Swap deal for Phillips with Puncheon maybe.....

Probably a winding-up petition. Although that would have to go before the courts which would take time. Birch is playing a very dangerous game here if he strings things along with no chance of the trust taking over.

Sorry, what? The BBC were reporting that the Jancker deal was on at the time. How is this more substantial?

Hallelujah, that clinches it for me. Proof if it were ever needed.

You must be p*ssed. You said it in post #169. Enjoy the wine.

It is quite fuuny how a repayment of the £5 fee seems to gain complete absolution on here, and after the inital power-hungry bravado of the banning exercise, the flurry of new coinage into Saintsweb coffers atones for all past sins.

Pompey Online were good enough to tell me why they b-anned me. (To be fair it was obvious, I was a fackin' scummah infiltrator who finally got rumbled, but they were very kind to let me know nonetheless. Good b-anning etiquette).

I think you've missed your point. Allow me to refresh you: I think it's a given that the last day is the busiest day. But not that more gets done on the last "final days or hours" than the entirity of the transfer window.

We can only dream; it might get us into Europe, after all.

We're going to be the new Middlesbrough; millions spent on players like Juninho and Ravanelli up front, supported by the likes of Curtis Fleming, Robbie Mustoe and Steve Vickers behind them.

Good job you're not applying pap; you'll have us all banned for user-name implied racism before we all know it.

Its difficult yes. But we can either attract the players we target, or we can't. We're not competing with Man U or Arsenal for players; we have our own level and that is not it. Our peers are the bottom half of the table, that's who we're in competition with. And, having stepped up a division, we need more new players than existing PL sides. So we're behind and playing catch up from the start of the season.

Denied by the bear.

Bear Man, I owe you an apology dude. I was rude to you a while ago; unnecessary. You seem like a nice chap. Still mates?

Per my post above, do you have figures for last summer?

I think you've missed my point, that article just lists transfer window dates. You said "outside of the mega-signings league (Van Persie etc) there is little done until the final days and hours of each window". Which means that (according to your assertion)most signings are all done in the last few days of a transfer window that lasts for many weeks. What I'm asking is this: do you have some stats to back this up? Some numbers which show that the majority of transfers are indeed done in the final few days? Because I just don't think its correct, and I'm wondering where you're getting your figures from.

Really? I think that's completely wrong. Can you substantiate this at all?
