hypochondriac

That's been doing he rounds from he start.

I agree with pap over this by the way. Can't be bothered to argue over this issue. What pap is saying tallies broadly with what Iraqis themselves say and I expect someone like dubai Phil would say similar. It's wrong though because lecturers, textbooks and documentaries say so...

Well if you want to maintain a challenge for 8th or above I suggest you stop supporting saints. Won't be happening this season.

We had relative success with zero experience in the team. We still have a number of players here now with premier league experience. A number of our players had no premier league experience yet were big successes in this league. Why is more premier league experience in the side essential now?

I think you. Misunderstand the mindset of these people. They would not tolerate a Christian enclave or anything of that nature. If it was set up they would immediately attempt to wipe it from the earth. They don't want peace, they want the entire middle East to bend to their will.

Where was our premiership experience when we got promoted?

Ive spoken extensively to a number of people on the issue. Because it interests me and because it is something close to their hearts for obvious reasons. Of course I don't claim to know definitively what is going on, but I'd wager you would get a much better idea by talking to a number of Iraqis, people who have been and live there and people who have studied their own history and know the issues in their own country. The situation is portrayed very differently than how it is in the western media. Of course they all have an agenda but I tend to believe the people who have always lived there when they tell me what the situation is really like.

Hilarious that you say I know very little when my information comes directly from people who actually live there and yours cones from a text book or the news. What was nonsense was your suggestion that we should allow Isis to take hold in Iraq. The Americans have already armed them so the least we can do is sort out the mess we have created. We should have left it alone in the first place but that was never going to happen with oil at stake.

Quite standard for Wes. A bit like FC in that not only is he wrong, but he has to bore you into submission to prove it.

Thanks "sir" but I know the history. My information comes from conversations from people who live there. Their view is that almost all of the sunni versus shia rhetoric is manufactured in the media and used by those in political power. My father in laws parents come from different sunni and shia tribes so he knows what he is talking about and I had conversations with a girl who lives in Iraq and had come here for the first time this week to study.

That's absolute nonsense. Do you have experience in Iraq? Have you spoken to people that have lived there and others who still live there now?

Yep. Seems that the head in sand posters are much more likely to carp on about an opinion that differs from their own than the other way round.

Tbf, sunni and shia have apparently managed to get on fine until we came and armed Isis in Syria. Now all we hear in the media over here is sunni against shia when the reality is that that has never been the conflict at all. It's just wrong.

Would be an excellent signing and sfc would deserve praise if it comes off.

That's exactly the type of player we should be signing. Young, English and with potential to improve both in ability and value.

We really need him to step up this year. Shows a lot of promise but for me doesn't influence the game enough to justify a starting place at the moment.

And when it gets to September one we will have long posts from certain posters assuring us we are so much better than last season and how well we have done in the transfer market.

Bertrand comment already qualified as you well know so irrelevant. Have praised the club for signing Tadic this summer who looks promising and Forster too looks a good addition as long as we don't lose Boruc so trying to make out that I rubbish every signing or potential signing we make is utter bilge as per usual from you. Welbeck would be an excellent signing for us and someone I have wanted for a while.

IF (big if) we get Long and Hull get Welbeck then the club have officially gone mad.

We are worse (or its a gamble so we don't know) in almost every area. If cork and Boruc goes then we are weak or weaker than last year at gk, cb, lb, rb, the wings, cm and attack.

Never brought a tablet or laptop in anyway so wouldn't care.

Source?

No no you can't say that. Despite reports of us stopping after just two more mediocre signings, we have to wait till September One when it is to late to change anything to express any sort of disapproval.

We haven't had any sort of planning seemingly.

Morgan won't go until at least January.
