  1. I agree. This remainer or whatever insulting and ridiculous word you persist on using to describe me has always stated that the democratic result from June 2016 has to be upheld to preserve democracy in this country. What sticks in the craw is the petty insults you resort when responding to people who don't agree with your view. I'll say it here and now. I've never voted Tory, never will and despise UKIP and all it stands for, but I accept the referendum result.
  2. Never ridden SRAM but have old 9 spd Tiagra on my Cube, A Campag 10 spd mix of mainly Centaur, with Veloce chainrings (Centaur not produced anymore) and Super Record on my Ridley and Di2 Ultegra on the R3. Never had problems with any of them which weren't of my own making eg forgetting to charge the Di2 for example. Like Vfft said for a winter bike if it were me I'd plump for 105. Tyres wise I ride Conti GP4000S 11s all year round.
  3. Of course he does. Hence the liverpool stuff.
  4. If you backtrack to 2014, Lallana's and Lambert's transfers both occurred following call ups to England. I think we all suspected a now retired senior international was somehow involved in that episode of 'tapping up'. Lovren had his head turned through the media much in the same way as they tried to do with VVD this time around. At the start of that season we still had Cortese in charge and Pochettino as manager we were a club on the up making ambitious noises as to where we wanted to be. No evidence at all, but perhaps the second tier marquee clubs began to take us seriously and saw that in the medium term we were a threat to their position among the elite. Chelsea, Man U, and City were immune but Arsenal Spurs and Liverpool were less so. I just find it interesting that we lost a manager and four players in one go to those clubs and have continued to have players picked off by them since.
  5. Having trawled through this thread and amused myself reading the responses on RAWK this is my take on the situation. My next door neighbour, a Liverpool fan summed it up this morning while we walked the dogs. He made the point that at no time in their recent history had Liverpool bought players who were a real step up and that if you buy players from an upper mid table club, that was, with respect to us, the quality you get. Take Lallana for example. The Lallana I see playing for Liverpool and England is pretty much the same player I saw at Saints. Admittedly playing with better players in the likes of Coutinho may make him appear a better, more accomplished player but he hasn't developed into a world beating, game changing midfielder. The same could be said for Clyne and I still see a Mane, who though brilliant on his day remains as inconsistent as hell. Lovren's initial demise and partial re-hab as a Prem centreback has been well documented, and Ricky Lambert's move was at best sentimental and marked the end of his Premiership career. Which leads me, head scratching, wondering why they've been in for so many of our players over the last three years.
  6. No he doesn't. It's just football. Surely the model is clear to see, it's been running the same way ever since we got back to the Prem. The only things falling apart are the entitled bunnies on this increasingly ridiculous corner of social media.
  7. What an utter tool!
  8. Love it when all the mouth breathers and loons are on here in force!
  9. If he goes, I am surprised it's not to one of the really big clubs
  10. Funny how our ex players never hack it at the really big clubs or get bought by them. Utd, Citeh or Chelsea. All you have to do is look to Shaw, Chambers and Schneiderlin. Liverpool are a step up for VVD but not the top step. All our sales thus far have either reached their level with with Liverpool, Clyde, Lallana and Lovren, or could conceivably be sold on to a stellar club like Mane or VVD if he goes. If that doesn't happen to one or either they won't have fulfilled their potential shown at Saints. #laughingallthewaytothebank
  11. Seriously these are very good EPL players not world beaters
  12. FFS LDH it won't happen.
  13. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3719539/sick-isis-thugs-celebrate-attack-which-has-left-seven-dead-and-dozens-injured/ Are these mongs for real?
  14. What an entitled tool you are!
  15. When did that happen after a democratic vote then?
  16. WTF are you on about?
  17. I learnt to drive in a Datsun. Tbh mainly had Fords in the past, fancied a change and got the Qashqai. Stupid name I grant you, but it goes nice. None of this diesel engined stuff, got a nice petrol engine in it.
  18. I hope your tongue was firmly in your cheek.
  19. Place I use locally does too. Just the tyres in question are only used on the Qashqai and top of the range Mazda 6, hardly universal!
  20. Just had to put two new front tyres on my Qashqai. Ouch!
  21. RIP Bobby Stokes.
  22. I'm sure the club are just toying with your 'entitledness'
  23. Are you a feckin idiot?
  24. LDH you and I will not agree on much, if anything, on political threads, however in this case I am in total agreement with you. Watching the programme yesterday evening left me with that overriding feeling that Corbyn, like the rest of them was essentially 'mugging the electorate off'.
