Climate change is all fake because aerodromes are marginally warmer than their surrounding areas; another fantastic arguments that’s as strong and airtight as an Oceangate Submarine.

Amazing. In 2016 the club were idiots for selling Mané ‘too early’ because if we’d waited we’d have triggered a massive bidding war and got an extra £20m. Now the club are idiots for not selling our best players quickly enough because we need to know how much money we have available and to have time to spend it accordingly.

Where has all this 'China are doing nothing and laughing at us' nonsense come from? Just in solar, they produce three times more than any other country, which ever if you take it down to a per captia ratio is still 50% more than the UK and above most other countries. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/solar-electricity-per-capita

Clearly I’m in a minority of one on this, so I’ll leave it there. All I’ll say is don’t get your hopes up.

Because he’s up again much worse opposition. If you’d watched Kelvin in 2012/13 you’d have said he was hopeless, at fault for a lot of goals, terrible kicking, flapping at crosses and regularly beaten at his near post. What makes you think that kind of keeping would be adequate in the Championship?

Ridiculous hyperbole, you honestly think we’d have done better last season with Ryan Alsop and Lee Nichols to choose from? Remember, Kelvin Davis was an excellent Championship keeper but hopeless in the PL, I don’t see any reason why Baz and McC would be a liability at this level.

About 80 of them, I'd say.

All you're doing is drawing lines in the sand which, as far as I can tell, are completely arbitrary according to your own personal beliefs. Where exactly is the threshold for how much a person is allowed to earn before you can start questioning their morals? Footballers can already earn more money than they will ever need in the PL, thanks to a gargantuan TV deal involving £5bn from overseas broadcasters, including some in the ME, China and Burma. Surely they should all leave and earn their money in a more honest league without the dubious revenues?

He scored three league goals in his last two years here. He was barely an improvement on any of those other players and even if he was, that’s scarcely a legitimate brag. There are very few players from the last couple of years I’d be sad to see leave and Redmond wasn’t one of them.

I know a lot of people who’ve gone to the Middle East because they were offered more money than they’d earn in Europe. I very nearly did it myself once, that doesn’t mean I or they support the politics of the country concerned. How far do you take this, do you refuse to use any kind of powered transport because you’re likely financing a Middle Eastern regime?

Two years ago people were saying that about JWP, Long, Walcott, Romeu and Willy, all in the same squad... and we were still crap. TBH I think it's more a reflection of how low Saints fans expectations have fallen that players are considered worth having, simply by being a nice lad without any convictions for affray and sexual offences. Fonte didn't have some sort of superpower when he was here and he certainly doesn't aged 39. We need to go and find another Dean Hammond, who can do it now AND play well, in his prime, 40 times a season.

One of his recent retweets, I just hope the aliens are nice to our water.

Morning Lance Corporal.

Rescued a reasonable enough score from 96-6 but we’ll have to bowl well. I hate to pick on Whiteley but that’s been a stinker of a T20 season.

I'm glad the Nazi nuclear scientists never found out about this. They could have created heavy water simply by shouting, "you fat, greedy c**t!" At a bottle of Evian.

Does anyone know what the laws are regarding non compliance with government in this country? Obviously people like Tiss having their cake and eating it by saying stuff like that, whilst continuing to use the schools, roads, hospitals, police, fire, refuse collection, airports, energy, water/sewage etc. is nonsensical. Supposing he did go and live off grid, as a wild man eating berries in rural scrubland, could he claim immunity from any laws or governance?

Went to see if Rickie had posted the same thing. He has, plus this little gem:

Remember when Bolton sold Nicholas Anelka and replaced him with Rasiak on loan. Christ that was funny.

Just bought two in the Northam, £26 each including the booking fee, with the members discount. Not bad really, considering we've regularly been asked to fork out £40 plus for dreadful football.

I think the best way I can summarise Diallo is that we could have sold him, never mentioned it officially, and nobody would actually notice or care until about halfway through the season.

Both were largely substandard. Ings had a good season once, that's about as much as you can say, few of his goals were reliant on either Adams or Long.

I like to watch lesbian midgets in bondage gear, licking Angel Delight out of each others clevage. Just thought I'd get that out there now, so I'm immune to blackmail from the S*n.

If anything sums up our batting in county cricket, it’s sending Abbott out to open, not that it really matters now.

£15m these days buys you unproven nobodies from the Belgian League, not experienced (but still young) Englishmen who’ve proven themselves more than competent in the PL already. £15m would be about what we got for Vest, with only a year left on his contract.
