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.

Yeah, I mean, suggesting that people go and burn down a hotel full of people is perfectly acceptable if you subsequently delete the tweet. Or something.

Not good enough for this level, my arse. Great performance, capped by that goal. Splendid.

For the first time on politics, agreed.

Why the confusion with this post? Baz is our first choice. He shouldn't be, but he is. Moody seems to be our 3rd choice. He's an unproven kid who should play with the kid, not he 3rd choice.

I didn't say that yiu mentioned the Tories. My question did. Labour have made crap decisions. NI changes are not long term. They were daft though. CGT changes. Are you referring to BDR or CGT generally? They ain't long term though, and the BDR changes were needed to shut off a massive tax avoidance issue. Non dom. Again, needed. 2 out your 3 points seem to point to selfish people wanting to leg it, or stay, somewhere where they can pay less tax.

You told us that labour have caused irreparable long term damage in their year to date. What long term damage has been caused in one year of labour that is unrelated to 14 years of the conservatives? Actually, what long term damage have they caused full stop?

I'd be happy with that, although I'm not convinced by Quarshie. Sugar and Weli as wingbacks gives us so much more going forwards than our non wingers on the wing. 1-0 to us.
