Eh? My view is the opposite. Excellent defender, good pace and recovery speed, rarely gets beaten on the ground but going forward he offers very little. Has a decent motor, so will make the right runs but his crossing and final ball are woeful.

As I said elsewhere, do you think Ralph is really sold on Cedric? However well he's played, Cedric's featured out of necessity rather than choice. With Valery returning, I wouldn't be surprised that if given the chance to bring in some fresh blood or stick with Cedric, he decided to twist.

Ralph is pretty headstrong - not sure he was totally sold on Cedric, even with his good run of form. That he played so many games of late was more due to accident than design.

Adams?

Someone needs to tell Goa that Les and Wee Ross are no longer around.

Think its about getting Cedric off the books, KWP fitting our profile and us hoping that a few good months -if he does well for us- won't significantly change his valuation (given his lack of an overall track record). The fact is that the summer transfer window is much better for buyers than sellers and there will be other options available. Levy has very little leverage now or in the summer.

Maybe it’s time to put him on emoji watch?

Yes Les. The number of emojis is your numerator; the number of lines is the denominator. In this case, 3 emojis in one line (3/1 = 3). It is far more unhinged than say 3 emojis in 10 lines 3/10 =0.3. Please stop embarrassing yourself and wasting my time.

Oh dear Les.

There’s a simple equation with our Les. Take the number of emojis in a post, divide it by the number of sentences. The larger the value, the less hinged and more frantic he is. Alas he’s not in a good place at the moment.

My point was exactly the same before and after the edit: i was making a reductio ad absurdum point to emphasise the complete moronic, economic idiocy of looking at countries surpluses and deficits. Point made, except you’ve got egg on your face for taking it literally

Whoooosh. It was deliberately absurd because it’s an absurd measure. What better way to illustrate it’s absurdity? Three emojis Les in a space of a few sentences - you’re obviously angry and rattled pal.

No s**t and whoooosh. I’m making a reductio ad absurdum point to emphasise the idiocy of using bilateral trade balances as a metric of dependence. Keep up Angry Les.

The EU also has a trade surplus with Andorra, so by your economically illiterate logic, the EU needs Andorra more than Andorra needs the EU. Give up John, no shame in accepting that this isn’t your thing.

Don’t worry. Angry Les has a new range of gnomes out in time.* Perfect for all immigrants and unaccompanied child refugees. *while stocks last

Angry Les trying to be clever and punch above his weight but falling flat on his face. It’s angry, impotent Les in a nutshell. Damn those nasty Germans for not bending their language to his mighty will. As for JHB’s comment, proof that Angry Les will believe any old s**t as long as it’s delivered by someone with a posh accent.

Then act like it Les. And we’ll all get on swimmingly pal.

Correct: you’re funny in the timeless laughing-at-you-not-with-you sense. You have the forum in stitches. As for juvenile insults, when you’re not having your arse handed to you on points of substance, do you actually reread the hypocritical guff you write? If, as you claim, juvenile insults are a window into one’s state of mind, you seem pretty angry Les. Yours respectfully shatlock

Monaco certainly are.

Tamesaint has you wrapped around his little finger. A link and a throwaway comment and off you go pal. Only in your world, Les, could a plodding earnest rebuttal be somehow construed as a piece of mockery and satire

Can you remind us of the famous penalty story again? How your dopey doris, silly bint, snap dragon of a missus embarrassed you in front of your proper drinker, bum chum but not soft-arsed, kipper mates?

I simply asked you how you defined established.

How do you define established?
