Got to be honest, I came to that conclusion as soon as we signed a Hoffenheim reserve player. Hope I’m wrong.

First sticker book was World Cup 78. 82 in Spain was brilliant - Marco Tardelli and Schumacher nearly killing Battiston. Italy beating the amazing Brazilians 3-2 remains one of the best games I’ve seen.

They’re about as Irish as the City Centre clock and Tony Cascarino.

Armstrong, Manning and Smallbone look like ideal Rangers signings to me. Here’s hoping…

Fair enough, but he wouldn’t have played centre-forward if we had injuries. Maybe his brother helped him out….

That was the period that Ankersen was hands on with transfers. What an absolute c*nt that bloke is.

No loss whatsoever.

Brentford rumoured to want McKenna as Frank’s replacement.

Not with SR and their recruitment policy. Fucking clowns.

If we buy players that will actually walk into the first XI and keep Fernandes we will walk the fucking league. More clever bollocks signings of squad players and a fire sale then mid-table. Personally, I reckon we will piss the league next season and smash those wankers down the road.

It’s total fucking bullshit pushed by some fucking SQL Wallah.

Hopefully the team won’t go around high-fiving and hugging each other before the game either. That really boils my piss.

The guy that was completely blown away by Martin’s interview for the Rangers job will probably be out on his ear by the end of the season. Martin is the classic snake oil salesman. There are plenty out there who want to buy snake oil.

xG has made some companies and people a lot of money. It is marketing at its best and plenty of gullible people have been hoodwinked by it. I’m with Whitey, it’s largely irrelevant.

Like the shirt but not the shorts with that red line.

It’s as if nothing has changed. Add to that players like Diaz, Sugawara, Manning, and Bazunu that we would struggle to sell for adequate fees - I’m sure there are more, but I’m sure Lighthouse will put me straight anyway.

Would help us be more stable if we stopped buying shit players we don’t use and can’t sell.

It seems that comes above everything. Like what happens on the pitch is secondary.

We are being taken for absolute mugs with this multi-club arrangement. Goztepe are probably happy as you like. We buy the players and give them straight over.

Welington can defend against a winger. Manning can’t. That’s the difference.

There have been too many nowhere near good enough though. At least players like Downes, Aribo and Ramsdale were good enough to go straight into the first team. What happened to the signings like Steve Davis, Wanyama, Van Dijk, Ings, Tadic, Lovren, Niemi - all who immediately improved the first XI. The balance has been completely wrong for a few years now. The policy now seems to be buy, improve and sell. It hasn’t worked and is why we have been so shit in the Premier League for a good while. Even the gems we got good money for - Lavia and Livramento doesn’t make up for the shite that hasn’t worked. Especially when we spunk their transfer money up the wall.

I was referring to Saints continually buying players with potential, selling the club as a stepping stone, and them never being good enough to be automatic starters. A system that continually fails the club and has put us where we are today. Too many clever pricks who think they have reinvented football.

You are spot on. It’s a system that will continue to fail.

He was brilliant when they knocked Liverpool out of the cup. I’m not sure where he would be in the clever bollocks stakes though, or how highly Football Manager rate him so probably a no.

They must be delighted. Made 1 sub appearance and they’re getting shot for £3.5million.
