There's a few trying for sure. AI can spot the real talent though.

He's clueless on every football related level sadly. If he carries on being so crap, not even his splendid hair will give him a media career to fall back on. He should have gone from us to TV imo.

Ha!! They're a strange bloke, so god help whoever they live with or near. I think Nick's chasing a 1-2 in the unintentionally funny league though, so it could be all change at the top.

Nothing wrong with people calling people out when necessary. Nice to see it happening and people not feeling pushed away. Not "wasted" forum space at all.

Chamberlain (I know, more than a ted tenuous).

Good post. His deficiencies were known before he got here, and it amazes me that we tolerated him for so long, and that some people wanted him to be given more time. He's a terrible manager, and fair play to the Rangers fans for calling him out so soon.

Brilliant. And he has a Tony Hart look about him.

Surely that kind of fudge wouldn't work under a multi club ownership? Feels wrong on every level.

There was no confusion Christophe. You posted about a Saints player leaving Saints in a Saints transfer thread on a Saints forum. CB was being, to use an English phrase, a cock. Your posts are always polite and charming. Please don't be put off.

Fuck off Nic. One of you was bad enough.

I thought you were vaguely sensible mate, but clearly not. On any sensible assessment, tweeting about the whereabouts of asylum seekers, and suggesting that people burn the place where they are staying, is abhorrent and bloody dangerous. On the other hand, an old Doris waving a placard supporting an end to what's happening in Gaza, doesn't feel like it'd to the barbaric death of people - on the assumption that you disagree with that, kindly explain the risk to life that waving a placard will bring.

Of course it is. It's also possible to ask yourself, is a proscribed terrorist organisation who don't actually do any terrorist stuff, actually a terrorist organisation. None of that takes away from the fact that you fail to recognise the seriousness of encouraging the burning of buildings housing migrants. Do you really think that doing that is less serious (or no more serious) than holding up a Palestine Action placard?

You've obviously misunderstood me. I didn't suggest that we overpay. I suggested that we shouldn't take advantage of them. I'd be disappointed if we tried to do the latter. Re Wednesday, yes, very sad for the fans and not nice seeing what is traditionally a big club fall so far. Hope they get decent ownership.

You've got to a bit of an imbecile to make an equivalence between someone encouraging the burning of a hotel housing foreign people with an old Doris wanting to see the brutality in Gaza end. Or someone who has no issue with people being burnt alive or the brutality in Gaza continuing.

Yep. It shouldn't be difficult to understand that both the Israelis and Palestinians should each have their own land/state, and an equal right to self determination. Throughout this "war", we've constantly had it said that the Palestinians don't support an Israeli state without 1) correction that Hamas are not all Palestinians, and 2) the Israeli government don't support a Palestinian state, and seemingly, nor do must Israeli's. There's no easy solution to this, but one possible solution would be for Israel plus the US to say that an independent Palestinian state is agreed in principle, and that sensible discussion can begin once Hamas are removed. That'll never happen though as neither will ever support a Palestinian state.

I don't think it's our style to lowball a club because we know that they're in a mess, and personally I wouldn't want us to be that sort of club. If we want him, pay what he's worth, not how little we can squeeze a struggling club to accept.

Cheers. You've highlighted one of the Baz issues for me. Good keepers have decent reactions, and great keepers have decent anticipation. Baz (usually) doesn't do well on either front. This lad sounds interesting.

Didn't watch, but does he give anything more than Baz could give on a good day?

I couldn't give a monkeys mate. The issue was do I think we'd pay a new signing close to £60K pw in the championship. For a promotion push, I do. I won't ask your view as you'll go off at a tangent and I haven't got all night.

I doubt you're privy to salary details mate. The point isn't what McCarthy was paid anyway, it's what we're willing to pay a stellar signing.

I think it's entirely possible. It's probably a million or so a year more than we'd want to pay at this level, but for a player who'll make a difference, it seems a relatively small price.
