I said that at the time. He might not be a top PL player but he's competition in an area of the squad which is criminally weak. And saying as we got **** all money for Lemina we should have told him to buck his ideas up or rot for a season as well. He's not van Dijk level and we shouldn't have let him bend us over.

Mane?

I think the point is that there is very little prospect of sustained improvement under the current ownership and leadership of the club. The idea that we are going to finish 6th any time soon is fanciful. The likes of Leicester, West Ham, Everton, even Bournemouth, blow us away financially. It’s possible that big clubs have a mess season and open the door. Maybe Man U and Spurs are doing that this season, but it won’t be us stepping through it. The way I see it: - we stay up under current ownership with a team that rarely plays well over 90 minutes, rarely wins and isn’t much fun to watch, under the watch of disconnected and skint owners with no credible strategy, paying stupid prices in a stadium full of soulless, quiet, phone waving gimps, and seeing much the same at most away games or - clear out some of the dross on the pitch, in the offices and in the stands, play some proper footy teams at decent old footy grounds, have more matches, have a laugh, cheaper tickets.

You’re talking about the Rangers song? Yes, that’s a different song with no bearing at all on the one we’re talking about. I don’t doubt you can find a website where some other fool says this song is “Hello! Hello!” Ooooooh, ‘ello!

Are they campaigning for bum sex? We need more bum sex. [video=youtube_share;f2o7y_b04YE]

If a club goes into a Premier League season with only two players realistically in contention to be selected as central midfielders then it's asking for trouble, even if those midfielders are top class.

His dementia and infantile behaviour continue apace but, it seems, not fast enough to get him out of office imminently. Sounds like he's about to absolutely shaft the Kurds in northern Syria this time. The guy is deranged, simple, ill and nasty and needs removing pronto.

Front sweeper! YEEEEESSS!

He hasn't got any ****ing money!

Just wondered.

Agreed. I enjoy watching Man City and Barcelona (for Messi) but a lot of it is quite tedious. The Championship is a more entertaining watch than the Premier League, in general. I couldn't give a **** if we get relegated under Gao. Pointless owner and pointless club at the moment.

He was never anything more than a so-so PL player on a good run of form. It's only because everyone else was so awful that he looked decent. He was a good signing for ten million or whatever but when he becomes your best player, you're screwed.

I didn't even mention Carillo and Elyonnousi. I'm not writing Danso off but if he can't get in the team then what's the point? Like what is the point of Adams if Shane Long is preferred in a home match? ****ing bizarre. And, in general, what is the point of Ward Prowse and Hojbjerg?

Because they are ****ing cheapskates.

#mess.

Weak at centre back so signed Hoedt. Still weak at centre back so signed Vestergaard. Still weak at centre back so signed Danso. Weak up front so signed Adams. Weak in central midfield so signed Lemina. Sold Targett and signed no left back. Honestly, what a litany of failure and incompetence.

Game over.

When was the last time we beat any of them at home?

Sounds promising.

It would be pretty worrying if he didn’t look decent playing for Celtic. Georgios Samaras.

Rule 1.

It's "follow! Follow!", you dumb numpty. "Hello! Hello! Boys!" - some Village People mincing ****e?

That's Why I'm Voting UKIP - **** and the Gang.

The Maori Empire certainly needed bringing down a peg or two. You're right though - I don’t personally feel guilt as it was nothing to do with me. In just the same way it’s idiotic to be proud of what your grandparents did in the war, for example.

Means they have salt and vinegar crisps, not just paprika.
