Didn't Ipswich agree 20 million for Hackney?

You might say that but you could have your own bias. Lets see what a neutral party like ChatGPT has to say about soggy after an analysis of his post history: Looking at sadoldgit's posting style on the forum linked below, is it your view that sadoldgit is too emotional and that he makes statements about other posters that are untrue or without evidence? https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/ Yes — based on a broad reading of sadoldgit’s posts across SaintsWeb, it’s fair to say that he often posts from a highly emotional place, and that he does sometimes make sweeping or accusatory statements about other posters that aren't well supported by evidence. Let’s look at this in more detail: 🧠 1. Emotional Posting Style Pattern: sadoldgit often posts with a strong moral or ideological tone. He frames arguments around justice, fairness, and outrage at hypocrisy. Frequently uses language that is emotionally loaded — e.g. "disgusting," "vile," "nonsense," "appalling," etc. Example: In threads about Ched Evans, Israel/Palestine, and even UK politics, he tends to argue from what he feels should be true, rather than what he can objectively prove. Impact: While this passion makes him principled and consistent, it also leads him to react strongly to disagreement and sometimes assume malicious intent where none is shown. 🔍 2. Accusations Without Sufficient Evidence Pattern: He’s been known to accuse others of being rape apologists, bigots, or apologists for oppression based on interpretations of their posts that aren’t necessarily fair or complete. Example: In the Ched Evans thread, people raising legal concerns were branded as rape apologists. In Middle East threads, posters who criticised Hamas but also expressed sympathy for Israeli security concerns were accused of ignoring war crimes or supporting apartheid. What’s going wrong? He seems to conflate disagreement with bad intent. He sometimes projects views onto posters that they didn’t express, and responds as if those views were explicitly stated. 🧾 3. Does He Ever Acknowledge Mistakes? Rarely. Like many strong debaters, he tends to double down rather than backtrack. That makes it hard to have productive disagreement with him unless you already broadly align with his worldview. That doesn’t make him dishonest — just very entrenched in how he frames debates, and emotionally invested in defending them. 🧭 Overall Assessment Trait Summary Emotionally driven? Yes. Moral clarity often trumps cool analysis. Accusatory without cause? Occasionally. He makes assumptions about others’ views too readily. Constructive in debate? Sometimes, but only with those he sees as arguing in good faith. Well-intentioned? Almost certainly. His goal is usually to stand up for what’s right. ✅ Bottom Line: Yes — sadoldgit does often argue emotionally, and sometimes unfairly characterises others’ positions. That doesn't mean he’s a troll or bad-faith actor — quite the opposite. But his rigid moral framing and tendency to assume the worst of dissenters can alienate others and derail constructive debate.

Absolutely. We are incredibly fortunate that he wanted to come back. It's made us a shit load of cash.
-
If Fernandes and Aribo go then that would be inevitable surely? Probably at least one as a loan.
-
Also if true that aligns with what I'd like us to get in. Four midfielders and a GK is exactly what we need as we don't need any more strikers or defenders.
-
Music to my ears if true.
-
Yep. Maybe someone like Fellows and theb a more established prem player on loan like Brooks would be good.
-
Good shout. This sort of thing is entirely standard whilst subject to big bids that haven't been resolved. 99% likely he leaves and never plays for us again but if he doesn't he can easily be reintegrated once the window closes.
-
The Sun say that Dibling is doing fitness work with a small group of players. I wonder who the other players are? Maybe Smallbone and Aribo? Who was missing in the training shots on Monday?

How would you rate Labour's economic performance so far? -
-
You need a mix for my money. What we need either way are some new players. Some of the so called proven Championship players we have are in my view irretrievably tainted by last year. The likes of BBD and Armstrong probably don't want to be here.
-
The source is a load of old shit though.
-
Yeah Alfie house said that photo was bollocks it was a fake itk and was supposedly taken prior to the Spain trip
-
But odd to travel all the way to Southampton for that purpose. Surely Girona or even Barcelona would allow hi to do that.
-
There was some random picture of him in a car that some fake itk was claiming was him at the training ground. That's the only 'proof' I've seen
-
Source?

Which is why I thanked him for posting. He may well have posted it in good faith and his mate is having him on. That's happened to me in the past.
-
This is how boring the transfer window has been - our biggest rumour since singing Downs weeks ago is a random bloke on the forum saying his mate has seen Romeu at the training ground. Thinking about it more, given that he was with the club last week, there really is no need for him to be at Staplewood at all, so I'm calling bullshit until we get some independent verification.
-
Well if there's any chance that it's a choice then I agree sell DIbling immediately. Very unlikely we can hold onto either though so given that I can see why we are holding out for top dollar. We better hope we can bring the top drawer replacements in in time though.
-
Think you may be misremembering as I haven't heard anything from the usual reliable sources and you'd think it would be all over this forum if that were the case.
-
If you're a PR man then that would be the way to do it.

The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?

You're getting me confused with someone who had an agenda supporting the Tories. I didn't and don't. The Tories are responsible for their actions in government - mostly terrible - and Labour now have to own their own mess. I don't care if the Tories wanted to keep blaming Labour after 14 years in power, they would be wrong to do so and clearly thr public didn't buy it because they were rightly removed from power.
