The Kraken

We wore red crosses?

RIP Markus Liebherr. And thank you.

PM please. I'm stil waiting. As you know, you still have a private message, which you haven't answered yet.

I'm waiting for a response from you, you silly billy. PM please

I've missed you proving me wrong about stuff MLG. It's like ying and yang, I can't forum without you.

Le God!!!! I've missed you man, where have you been?!

Fine. For the rest of the forum, Alpine and I will continue this spat by private message. I have sent him a message to confirm this.

I don't understand your nonsense there, I don't. But if it helps you, congratulations, you're the winner: give yourself a massive pat on the back, you win. As I previously said, this seems to be an argument you wish to continue between just and I. That being so, semd me a private message and go that way. Stop trying to attract attention and send me a message instead of your appaling efforts at showcasing a really boring conversation.

Please don't tell others that you've never been abusive/intolerant to me on here. Its a lie.

You're right Ron, I shouldn't mock that he's obese. I retract that comment.

Once again; why do you need to get so angry, abusive, and aggressive? It's needless. You seem to take this aproach to posting on here every time. No need, surely? Are you this reactionary in real life? I hope not. And you may believe you were right about giving up about the playoffs. You weren't. You are wrong in hindsight, of course you were. But there is no coherent argument for why you were right at the time, certainly none that you have put forward yet. In any case, I digresss. There is surely no need to continue this on the main board. If you wish to discuss this further, and as it is nows clearly only a conversation between you and I, please send me a private message. Either that or cease this tedium.

F*ck. I've fallen into the trap hypo! I went for the troll bait. He got me, the fat c*nt that he is. Dammit!

I'm still amazed how you get so angry. Calm down "pal", its not an argument. Why get so upset? But I do love your senseless dedication to the nonsense and idiocy you espoused on that playoff thread. And the fact you don't take it back, which continually highlights you as, ignorant, wrong, an inernet troll, and incapable of anything but argument.

£2.5M, when Palace were in admin. An absolute steal, Brendan Guilfoyle (the adminstrator) getting pelters for it.

Imagine a comparison, if you will. It's not too hard to imagine. Theo and AOC, just before AOC went to Arsenal. If someone said to you "will AOC be better or worse than Theo", what would you say? Would you say "you know what, i have no idea how to judge how much improvement he has? I can't possibly make such a judgement". Would you say that?

Same as. I know a few Palace fans and they say that while Moses is the better player right now, Zaha has much more improvement in him and will become the better player.

Your write off the notion that credit card sales could be ruled out, cash sales only, and the actual receipts for tickets get "lost" or manipulated. Been done before, will be done again. Chinny will get all cash he can get his mits on and then scarper, it will be a sham where legal means go completely out of the window.

You know what gets me, though? Its not the relative simplicity of it (although I'm disappointed I didn't forsee it years ago). It's that I'm staggered the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea haven't done it before. Roman Abramovic could have saved himself hundreds of millions of pounds if he had chosen to take our approach to European success. The Glazers could have taken over Fulham and achieved all their objectives, with a little more managerial nouse. And the Arabians needen't have paid out a King's ransom to secure one premier league title. The thing that gets me, this is not even being noticed by any of those supposed footballing experts in the media; but thankfully the forum experts here are on the ball and in tune with our owners' commitment to success.

Indeed, those were great threads!

Why rise to his aggressive and desperate attention seeking? Just remember the "let's not go for promotion and settle for the playoffs" thread, and chuckle at the sheer inadequacy of his thinking. And then laugh some more at how he stands by that initial thinking, and still claims it was correct. He genuinely is a troll, in fact the very definition of an internet troll, he is only ever looking for an argument all of the time; well, either that or some desperate search for attention by starting threads on topics that (most of the time) already exist. And he consistently makes himself look spectacularly stupid and petty in doing all of that; he knows it, and everyone knows it. I find it easier to laugh at how tragic that amount of effort is, than to actually breathe in the nonsense he continually thinks worth the effort of spewing out.

Norwich & Swansea maybe; QPR, not so much, did you see who they signed? Plus I don't recall Norwich or Swansea shouting from the hilltops about their ambitions for Champions League football.

A very worrying sign if that's how we're viewed by exactly the type of player we need.

I think you must have missed MLG's various reassurances in this regard. Apparently its not the amount you spend, its how cleverly you spend it. So, you see, we don't HAVE to spend £10M each on players to get within reach of the Champions League. We can use half of our graduating academy, and then do what other clubs currently don't do, which is to spend less money but spend it cleverly on players. That way we can save money and be successful.

You have to give credit where its due. After the initial fiascos of playing the wrong anthem and displaying the wrong Korean flag, you feared for the worst. The spectatcular opening ceremony put those fears to rest and made you proud to be British; and since then the games have been an absolute triumph in every single department, most notably the crowds who have been immense and of course the performance of Team GB. The arenas have been incredible, the BBC's coverage has been completely first rate, and the commentary teams have been very good (although often let down by the celebrity commentators such as Reggie whatshisname and Michael Vaughan who haven't really got it). Overall, absolutely brilliant and it reflects so well on the nation. Really looking forward to seeing the closing ceremony too, I think it could be really spectacular (I'm assuming Danny Boyle got that too??)
