hypochondriac

That was my understanding. Monkeys with beaks or chickens with tails who eat bananas.

Don't forget the main positive of all of this is that we can bring back the gay wave from retirement.

That's also a good point. I hope he can do a job here but we shouldn't romanticise it and I hope he doesn't go overboard about a homecoming or other such nonsense.

I'd say that playing at the top level and winning things would mean you have a very valuable perspective on things. See the video clip I posted yesterday where the Brighton players were talking about how he consistently keeps the levels high of all the other players which they hadn't had to the same extent prior to his arrival. We've also got Surman who I have known personally in the past and not only is he highly intelligent he's a great person as well so if they can offer something I think it can be a good thing to have these type of people around the club.

They obviously feel that they need some veterans who have been there and done it at the top level to keep standards high and help us to survive. Given that Adam has some sort of affinity with the club he seems like he would fit that role, otherwise we would probably go for a similar type of older player but maybe without that prior sfc connection which may make them less effective. Like I said I'm don't really want him but that will be the thinking from the club and I can see the logic as long as it is supplemented by lots of quality incomings so he's essentially a bit part player and mainly a coach.

That's like saying what the Nazis did was more barbaric but the allies have caused more pain and death to way more innocent people than what the Nazis did. Presumably you don't draw some sort of equivalence between the actions of the allies and the Nazis?

A Coventry fan I know said Ben Sheaf is their best player (defensive midfielder.) Worth a punt as Downes backup? Think he may be out of contract.

There's been implicit and explicit examples of some posters on here essentially saying the Israelis were asking for it and that the actions of Hamas are understandable given the provocation they have been under.

Those sneaky Jews pretending to stick to international law. They had everyone fooled.

Well that's certainly one theory.

Indeed. If the aim of Israel was to destroy all Palestinians then why haven't they just murdered them all months ago? They have the means to do so. Why bother putting their own people in harms way unnecessarily?

Great isn't it. Makes a change from all the links of our players leaving.

I wonder if links to miovski will resurface or if he's not good enough now.

You're right probably more of a forest type signing.

What do people think about emile Smith Rowe? Too ambitious?

Didn't Burnley drop him?

This outlines why Lallana could be a decent person to bring in: https://x.com/SaintsSocialite/status/1795382597389828159?t=vayfsNpQyKglSRzQKfPaDA&s=09

Well I'd imagine he would really want to come so hopefully it would be a very reasonable wage. Maybe heavily appearance bonus related.

Sounds like he will be coming in as a player coach. I'd imagine he has a bit to offer as a coach and the odd appearance here and there isn't going to be that detrimental to our chances.

For me it's more that the manner he left showed what type of person he was at the time. Certainly not selfless and ready to sacrifice for the good of the team. Hopefully he's grown up a bit.

I don't really want Lallana but then I said similar about Fraser and he's been great. Maybe as he's a bit older he's changed a bit and could be an asset. You'd hope he'd want to make amends for how he left and could offer us something. I bet he would have joined us in the championship too.

And THB is confirmed.

Me too. Would be unfortunate but I'm sure we can find someone else to play that role.

"I'm in no position to say anything but what a fucking season."

Considerably wetter.
