You make a very good point

Brilliant bit of business. Probably the best deal in the window. Well done Saints for completing this signing and making me look a bit of a **** in the process!

Well said.

Mr S Wonder was absolute dogsh*t reffing the Swansea game.

Made them look crap. VVD and Fonte had their pair up front on their pockets. Clasie and Romeu excellent. Everyone did well, although Mane was a little sloppy at times but couldn't be faulted for effort. Just didn't happen for him. Funniest thing I heard was someone shouting at Gomes to punch it when taking a goal kick!

Whoever we sign has to be good enough to go straight into the side. No more padding the squad.

Billy Sharp was a short term buy that worked perfectly for us.

Not that hard to see through is it.

2 corners that we nearly scored from and a free-kick that needed an unbelievable save to keep out. Not too shabby.

Ron, at the end of the game on Saturday, we had Targett and JWP on the pitch, with Reed and Seager on the bench. Not too bad really. How many U21s did Palace have?

He may be doing it for the good of the club if the board are pressuring him to play youth regardless of whether they are good enough or not.

Lots of contributors to this thread obviously play a lot of Football Manager!

You make some valid points. My main beef with the club is that they hide behind these platitudes, and Kruger makes 'motivational' speeches, when it is clear that what Ron really needs is a bit of funding. Koeman certainly can't be blamed for not playing youngsters, fact is, they're not good enough. We have been spoilt with decent young players in recent years. A barren spell is just the way it goes. I would, however, like them to be coached by people who learnt the game playing premiership football instead of ones that learnt it in a classroom listening to FA lectures from more people who never really played the game.

C*nt.

Is that the same for players we buy then...

Just watched the pitiful MOTD highlights again. Definitely Ward-Prowse corners that Long hit the post from, and Fonte missed a sitter from.

To be fair FF, I'm not a fan of Ward-Prowse. But I can't moan at his contribution yesterday.

I don't think we've spent the money from the sales of Lallana, Lovren, Shaw, Lambert, Chambers and Morgan.

We'll see. But I don't think every other club in the division is being run unsustainably. The spin from the boardroom is delusional in my opinion.

Apart from his cross which Long hit the post with and the free-kick that we all thought was in, I can't think of anything he did.

Sorry, I don't buy it. Just a load of bullsh*t spin. I'm sure many will disagree.

Just look at the fees we receive and subtract the fees we pay. If there's a plus figure (which there is) then we make a profit. It really isn't that complicated.

You are like a broken record. Not necessarily the board, but the club. My opinion is that we don't seem to spend even what we generate in transfer revenues, and are the only club in the Premier League that operate in such a way. Are they all wrong? You are doing a very good job of getting on my tits.

He was our best player yesterday.

Good post. Pretty much sums up how I feel.
