hypochondriac

Yes I think that's a bit silly really but then we've all posted things after a bad loss that were knee jerk and that we probably regret with hindsight. Had we lost at Wembley I'd wager there'd be at least some validity to the argument that we had essentially failed. Glad to say I didn't slag off the board after the summer because to be honest the team did better than I expected even if we hadn't gone up.

Or maybe it's the case that he wants to come here for the reasons you outline and also we believe he has shown at Brighton that he has something to offer us? Both can be true.

You annoy me just as much but I don't have poor impulse control so don't feel the need to throw around words like thick and cunt. Regardless we are just going in circles now. You seem to think that had dialogue from 24 years ago been successful that would have been the end of it and murderous death cults would have simply disappeared whereas I consider that view to be naive and fantastical. You display basically zero understanding of the position that Israelis are in and the level of hostility and threat they face yet lecture others on being unable to see another side.

I said that is how you come across and your posts certainly exude a level of anger and bitterness even if you don't feel it in real life. I tried rsther hard to avoid any personal attacks on you earlier in this thread but you have been relentless. Seems we are in agreement. Similarly, I have no time for anyone close-minded who is unable to handle opposing opinions and who thinks that conflicts like this one can be resolved by having a chat, who thinks that Israel are allowed to respond to defend itself but only in a way that you consider acceptable (and in a way that you haven't outlined.) I have little time for people who continually refer to others as thick, cunt, idiot etc and then complain that other posters are getting too personal, it's completely hypocritical. You also go out of your way to defend awful people like soggy.

I'd widen your mind a bit love, otherwise you come across as a bitter and angry individual who can't handle opposing opinions. It might be good for you to gain some insight into others who disagree with you without getting upset and sweary then you might actually learn something. Do a bit of research of your own perhaps.

How many dead terrorists is acceptable in your eyes?

I've read virtually everything on here sweetie, even your largely mind-numbing dreck and I still have zero sympathy for Islamist terrorists or think it's perfectly reasonable for them to want to celebrate rape and murder.

Are there not loads of examples of clubs successfully employing former players as coaches and using their knowledge and experience to great effect?

Ings wasn't the captain, nor did he refuse to train or play down his affinity to the club in public. Footballers are perfectly entitled to turn down offers if they want to go elsewhere. The reason Lallana isn't particularly liked is due to the manner of his departure rather than the fact he left. I have however heard that Ings really has little attachment to Southampton and isn't particularly fussed how we do.

Yes but if we brought Ings in (I don't think we will) why would Armstrong care? He wouldn't be competing in the same position.

It would probably be a disaster but I think everyone would like to see Ings if he got back to where he was before with us. Imagine getting Pompey in the cup again with Ings leading the line...

Eh? Armstrong doesn't play in the same position.

No they aren't allowed because they have bigger guns. That's how it works.

To be fair the people in charge absolutely shit the bed last year and were quite rightly complained about in the strongest terms. How they tried to navigate things with our managerial situation, the players we bought in and then how we panicked in January was just totally unacceptable. Fair play to them then that they listened and seemingly sorted things out this year. I wouldn't really blame anyone for expressing frustration this time last year, it was a natural reaction to failure at all levels.

I think the point is that we really don't know do we. Anyone saying they know for sure what Adam does or doesn't have to offer is either lying or is Adam himself.

Cheers. Wise choice to skip then. On my phone I had to scroll down about three screens.

Plucky little Hamas freedom fighters battling against the odds for independence one rape at a time. The little terrorist organisation that could. The determined David to the Zionist Goliath if you will.

Jesus I'm not reading that.

Yep. It's all about having the attributes to fit the system and like someone else said Lallana is one of the best at keeping the ball. Could all go to shit but I'd be more hopeful of it working than Theo.

Bless. Hilarious that you think that's all it takes and that radical Islamists can be foiled in their aims by talking and negotiation. You're like those support workers in London supporting a terrorist who then got murdered for their troubles. I think they should parachute you into Gaza so you can propose a communal drum circle. You'll have it sorted in a day.

What about their wish to eliminate all Jews from their land? How will that be agreed?

You accuse me of equivalence yet I wasn't the one comparing them! Aintforever was the one trying to minimise the actions of Hamas by talking about Israeli civilian casualties.

Walcott nit working doesn't mean this won't. If Russell thinks it's worthwhile then fair enough.
