I think my favourite one of these was the one when you cried. Was it Cardiff?

Two bits of advice You really shouldn't share so much of your personal information on an anonymous football forum where no one knows or cares who you are You really shouldn't take an anonymous football forum so seriously that you feel you need to share so much of your personal information

He isn’t selling a ticket, he’s offering to buy one. It’s not the same as trying to rip of another fan by charging more than face value for a high demand low supply ticket. He is willingly offering to part with his cash not demanding more because he’s trying to sell. Completely different thing.

Surely the first season in league one? We were utterly dreadful the few seasons before that and Pardew rebuilt the team in the two windows signing players who would be key to our rise. Lambert and Fonte obviously two out the best best signings we’ve ever made but Hammond, Harding, Barnard, Jaidi and even Puncheon all played a part in our promotions.

More recently James Maddison chose Leicester over us and look how good he’s turned out.

Clubcall was wonderfully awful. I remember them announcing we had signed Alun Armstrong, who was a very talented young Stockport striker in the mid90s only for him to sign for Middlesbrough a few hours later

We even had a song for him too What’s the story, David’s Astori weeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllll

Didn’t we try to sign Trevor Francis in around 82/83 but something went wrong and we ended up with Frank Worthington who only scored a couple of goals the season we finished second? Surely if we’d have got him we’d have won something in that period between 81-85. I think it was In Strachans book he also said we could have got Dider Drogba before he went to Marseille for around £2m but Lowe knocked it back because he was too similar to James Beattie

no Jim Brennan? no Lee Molyneux? No credibility for this thread

Historically he tends to feature on average about 25 times a season for his club, So with Galatasary having Turkish league and cup, plus at least 6 champions league games this season he should make about 50% of their games. Will this be enough to convince them to shell out €16m. Unlikely...

I miss his interviews. I used to love seeing his chubby little face boasting about how carefully he plans for everything. My favourite story was his secret file of managers we have been tracking for years that only he has access to. It was an amazing coincidence that the managers on the list all happened to be unemployed right at the time when we needed one.

Don’t know about you but I’ve tried to rationalise it. I just cannot for the life of me understand it. Kruger even admitted after Pellegrino had gone they’d considered sacking him a few times prior to when they did but each time we got a decent result so they gave him the benefit of the doubt. To then spunk £20m and sack the manager a few weeks later was insanity.

Yes. At least Osvaldo scored 3 goals, including that cracker against Man City. Although Osvaldo was a bit mental you could see why we signed him, a good pedigree and Pocechetino knew him. Carrillo had nothing in his career to suggest he would be a good singing and was blatantly on the recommendation of a woeful manager who was sacked a few weeks later.

Pound for pound got to be one of the worst signings ever by any club. How many clubs out there have a record signing who has contributed literally nothing and they can’t shift on?

And when Kruger was asked why Pellegrino wasn’t sacked before he said every time they considered it we got a positive result in the next game. A club that has for years slapped itself on the back for its careful planning deciding on a managers future on the basis of the last result, utter laughable.

Remember when he signed and our forum geniuses would argue long and hard that he was a goal every other game striker. It’s just a shame he never got to show it in a saints shirt. Or a Leganes shirt. or a Monaco shirt. or an Estudiantes shirt.

I went and paid £65 and took full adavantage of the reporting hotline. 82 reported for standing, 3,227 for offensive chanting a song that was repeated several times which suggested our neighbours in Portsmouth are unclean and fatherless and suggested we weee looking to engage in acts of antisocial behaviour when we visit them on the 24th of September. I applaud the club for pricing the tickets so high it keeps those nasty working class people away and any that do slip through the net can quickly be banne thanks to the excellent reporting text line.

Comparing Fox to Elyounoussi is pathetic and clueless. He was signed as a championship left back and did his job, He wasn’t signed as a premier league player, he was signed to get us there with the club knowing full well within 18 months - 2 years Shaw would be ready and take over.

Written off after 5 games love our fans ?

I reckon we would if Danso hadn’t got sent off

Exactly. The fans played Puel. Then it was all Pellegrinos fault, then it was Hughes, now people are doubting Ralph. He’s the best manager we could hope to get FFS

£36m between them for one assist ?

This would be the Danny Fox who cost £1.5m and contributed something like 15 assists from left back in our championship promotion season? Yes he was out of his depth in the premier league but so we’re a lot of players who played a part in our promotions. What a ridiculous comparison, why don’t you also say Elyounoussi was as bad as Danny Butterfield, Frazer Richardson, Dan Harding, Dean Hammond, Richard Chaplow?

and the signings he made like Scuffer Adams.

Great fans, make an amazing atmosphere. Yes they have there unruly element like every club but no mugs in face paints, wigs, fancy dress etc. I think they were the creators of the allez alley song Liverpool nicked and claimed as their own. [video=youtube_share;iNvOt2yDUI4] The city itself isn’t much to look at, although it does have some nice areas, it’s a very working class city but it’s surrrounded by some for he most beautiful parts of Italy down the amalfi coast.
