It's unbelievable. Sometimes officials just can't see, and that's just how it goes. He is on the correct side of the pitch and level with play. Seriously, how has he not seen that. They should have had a pen etc. and I'm not hiding behind the decision. We are **** under this manager and will go down if he isn't sacked with days but things like this make you question what the point is. HOW CAN HE NOT SEE THAT?

We're going to be relegated from a league which is utter ****e this season, apart from the top 6, with a squad which should be 7th - 10th. Nice one.

What happened against Palace... And Brighton.... And Huddersfield.... And Arsenal.... And Burnley.... And etc.

Everyone then. I'm in. It's a perfect match for it. We'll lose regardless and it's on TV.

This is showing how frustrating this season has been. We could be challenging for Europe innit

Long is ruining them. Well done Longy. And a bit of composure and quality in front of goal from midfield.

Good alternative to Sanchez.

Akinfenwa?

I wonder if we leaked that Forster and Redmond have been ****e or if he worked that out for himself.

Yeah, but it would seem odd to structure the agreement that way when most transfer fees are in installments. Just seems odd.

The Johhno Forte match when Barnard scored the third has to be up there too. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_2/9436579.stm

I used to go to the Dell as a young kid / teenager. My grandma took me to my first match in the West Stand. A cup tie against Oxford. I loved it, although the consensus seemed to have been that it was a terrible match. I later had a season ticket, first in the Junior Saints section, then in the lower East Stand, right next to the away fans. Went off to university in 2000 so couldn't go regularly any more. I missed the Arsenal game but strangely wasn't too gutted at the time because I'd reconciled myself to it in advance. Obviously I wanted to be there though. I just remember a feeling of elation when listening to the radio and hearing that MLT had scored the winner. I was there mentally. I know it's cliche and I know it sounds trite but, genuinely, fairytale. I think you had to be a Saints fan in the late 80s and early 90s to understand what MLT meant but there, in a languid sweep of the left leg, was my footballing education, my boy's obsession, my hero, my own unrealised dreams, boiled down into a perfect moment and sealed forever. Sitting on the metal benches in the ****ing rain in an Italia 90 shell suit, utterly frozen and miserable. We want Branfoot out, say we want Branfoot out!! Le Tiss v Newcastle (I'll never forget watching those goals - incredible). The Man U 6-3, the Man U 3-1... the Ekelund / Le Tiss axis. The Wimbledon free-kick. The funny smell in the toilets. The funny walkway behind the East Stand. Frozen pipes. Franny's goal. Dean Richards, James Beattie, Claus, Egil. What?! Berkovic has gone to West Ham?! Dixon and Speedie (christ). "Reverse takeover". Rupert ****ing Lowe. Give Cosimo Sarli a chance FFS! Marian Pahars v Everton. A great season = 12th. And more MLT. No matter how grim, always MLT. Something about that ground was magic. I miss it. I've realised this evening that I don't actually know what the last match I went to there was, and that makes me sad.

Overly generous.

Why would clubs agree to pay the whole of a sell-on fee in an initial lump-sum when payments are usually staggered? Have you got a source for that?

Fingers crossed!

Talking of former strikers, this is the guy we need: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosimo_Sarli

WRONG THREAD

Camara was class though.

I saw him in Rhino club.

Worst "wonder goal" ever!

Fin.

Really? I see this cliché trotted out on here quite a lot but the world is full of people who are ****e at their job but bumble through regardless without any proactive management for many, many years. Are you sure you would be sacked? Are you sure you're not one of those people?

Indeed. I know lots of people who have worked for PWC, Deloitte, KPMG etc. and I can confirm that none of them are billionaires.

Is he, or is he just a patsy for Alisher Usmanov?

He'd work well alongside Carsten Janker or Oliver Bierhoff. I just hope Paul Hart and Arrigo Sacchi can get him playing near his best.
