Show a bit of restraint pal. Some are getting triggered and the second half could become very messy. For their sake.

Yep let him run by, though don't know what VVD was doing so far out. Complete lack of communication.

Dogsh*t Hoedt

See the happy clappers are beginning to lash out. Must mean it's all over.

Davis dawdling now

Poor by Tadic

Thought the plan was to take the game to them? The pellegrino way.

Cheap free kick.

Liverpool starting to impose themselves.

No way.

He’s basically a very s**t Benitez.

Personally not sure that's battle-hardened enough to take charge of the under-18s. Martin Hunter won't always be there to hold his hand.

"maybe at some stage he could be considered...under-18s" Are you so shît-scared to an express an opinion that this is the best you can muster.

niceandsimple, that's garbage even by the standards of this place.

The point was plainly irrelevant and staggeringly ignorant. The Chinese government has been beefing up capital account controls for nearly two years to stop cash leaving China (despite liberalisation being an explicit goal of the government's 12th Five Year Plan in 2012). This has gone as far as installing facial recognition software in ATMs in places like Macau which are hotspots to move money out of China. All this has affected not only overseas business investment but also ordinary private Chinese -whether it's paying tuition fees, buying property or simply shopping while on holiday. Signs are that these recent efforts have been working, though nobody can tell for sure how much money is leaving through the underground banking system. We're still at least a decade away from full capital account liberalisation when Chinese can take money out of the country without restriction.

Nope not at all. I have a particular interest in the takeover (as my previous posts amply demonstrate). I'm asking you a question on that subject, unlike your posts which are all about me and never about the substance. Simple distinction, even for a simpleton like you to clock. Now again what is the relevance of whether the Chinese government lent Gao money or not? Play the post, not the poster, pal.

How's that relevant?

Hizb ut-tahrir is not the same as ISIS pal. All this coming from the same f**kwit who was defending Trunp's use of false equivalencies.

Agree - the table rewards hanging around in the top flight (which we've largely done). Would be good to know what our long-term average position in the top division is when we've been in it. It will be higher than 17th which is necessarily skewed downwards by the years spent in divisions two and three.

Think Leicester and Stoke have both played 4 of the top-six.

My enemy's enemy is my friend Les. It's interesting how classic antisemites like your doppelgänger Pat have entered a marriage of convenience with modern Jewry -well Zionism to be accurate. No doubt their support of Israel and its marketing as an aggressive, no-nonsense defender of Western, Judeo-Christian values against darkies and other barbarians has something to do with it. As has the fact that the country is a delicious trigger for those on the left. But nobody's ultimately fooled pal.

Brendan Rodgers has zero chance of walking into a bigger job than saints if he wishes to test himself in a real league with real competition again. He'd have to win the Europa League to raise a few curious eyebrows but that's unlikely to happen.

Crooky's coming of age. Maybe he thinks there's more money in impersonating Martin Samuel than recycling lazy rumours from frauds like Monk. Needs work; but not a bad start. Will certainly trigger the chumps.

Boufal initially believed he was going to sign for Koeman who wanted him. With the new manager, it was no longer clear that this was still the case. However Puel also wanted him and having seen what Puel had done for Ben Arfa's game, Boufal was reassured and persuaded to join us. Every man and his dog knew we needed a Lemina-type player, not least on here. You have to ask serious questions of Uncle Les if that kind of player wasn't already on the club's radar. In practice, Reed and MP were probably on the same page to begin with.

Has saint lard ever been ITK about anything?
