We really can’t rely on getting pens every game and have to offer a goal threat from open play. Starting Rashford instead of Sterling would be a start. Having said that, it wasn’t that long ago I thought we were out, so phew.

What is weird is why you would say something like that. Feel free to give us all evidence of this strange statement. While you are at it you might want to explain why you have slagged him off more than Pelle yet now seem to be a convert? Shurlock - I am not a bit quite, I just have three posts a day. I don’t feel embarrassed about anything I have said about Yoshi. Feel free to find the last time I criticised him. He has done well on the World Cup and didn’t have a bad season last season. I have said before that I love his attitude and commitment. The trouble is that he is fine as back up but isn’t really at top ten Premiership starting centre back. Batman has said that more often than I, strange you haven’t picked him up on that. There of plenty of people who love Yoshi attitude and commitment but also see that he hasn’t got the quality that a side wanting to be challenging for Europe want as a main C B. And playing well on a few WC games isn’t the same as playing well for a full season in the Premiership.Ask yourself this, how many other Premiership clubs have been, or are, interesting in signing him?

What is “textbook” is slagging the manager off for the first 65 minutes when his team were poor and then not giving him any credit when he made the decisions which won his team the game. Whatever you think of Martinez, he made the right calls at the right time and if Belgium do make the final, it won’t be despite him. I don’t think they will beat Brazil though, and no doubt it will be all his fault.

Rubbish that Martinez isn’t he!

I’ve got Japan in the sweep.

Exactly my point. Pure conjecture.

How do we know we are interested in him? I am sure the media assume that Hughes would want him because they worked together at Stoke, but that doesn’t mean Les has his cheque book at the ready.

The best for me is still 66 not only for the obvious reason that we won it but it was a great tournament and there was so much drama in the final. Closely followed by 70. That Brazilian team are still the best footballing side I have seen in my lifetime.

Are Cabbage_Face and Shurlock one in the same, pal?

Plenty of people judging by the many negative reactions expressed by those unhappy at us putting out a B team. So what if it’s a clean slate? That team will not appear in any of the knock out matches. Rest a couple by all means but given all the talk about the importance of continuity (God knows there is another grief on here when managers keep tinkering with line ups) we have wasted an opportunity of giving most of the main players another 90 mins to help cement our game plans. And just think what it would have done for our confidence if we had won. Managers talk of building a winning mentality. You don’t do that by losing matches.

Although the result wasn’t crucial, I don’t like putting out a weakened team. We were told we wanted to win this match, how do you say that with your best players on the bench?

Dalek finally gets a prediction right. Batman finally gets something right. The Germans finish bottom of their qualifying group. It is the end of times I tell you!

Rumours that we are sniffing around Angus Gunn so perhaps FF will be off?

And you will still be slagging him off for club failures long after he is dead.

As we all know from here, one fans opinion will differ wildly from another. Here’s a thought, if he signs let’s watch him play several times before we write him off as rubbish. I think the current going rate is 5 matches?

I didn’t say it did. It is just that people with vagina are just as capable as commenting and commentating on football as men. What anyone has between their legs shouldn’t be an issue.

Why should competence play a part in choosing women? It doesn’t appear to do so with many men.

He is clearly lacking in any of the qualities that you would expect someone in public service to have, let alone as POTUS then! Not that this is news to anyone with a modicum of intelligence. Perhaps there should be some basic physiological tests you need to pass before you can stand for public office?

I have googled it too and it appears that children weren’t allowed in jail but there wasn’t a policy to separate families under Obama and when it did happen the children were passed on to relatives. So a bit of a non starter really wasn’t it? So it is all down to Trump again.

If you were curious then why not google it and find out for sure rather than throw it out on here? I guess it just helps to muddy the waters over the attacks on Trump eh?

I read the other day that only 40% of Premiership transfers are deemed "successful." I say only but I guess as nothing is certain in life, perhaps that is a good percentage? Certainly for the bigger clubs who can take the hit both financially and within their squads. Not so good for clubs of our size though.

Because it would be so unusual for a thread to go off topic Whelk? Although in this case Trump and far right politics are not exactly a million miles apart are they? Back to Trump, where do you go with it? If someone made his presidency so far as a TV show people would say it was too far fetched. Every day when you turn on the TV it is another round of "pinch me, I must be dreaming." As Verbal pointed out, the latest episode revolves around Melania's jacket. Trump himself says the message is about not caring about "fake news" (for those who dont know, fake news is anything that Trump doesnt agree with). Some are now suggesting that she is sending a message to him about not caring! It went way beyond a bizarre soap opera a long time ago. I'm not sure what else there is to say other than the bloke is a complete moron and you have to wonder where people are coming from who support him.

You are a busted flush hypo. I also find it interesting to hear that others thought you had a dual log in on here. Given your appearance on Sotonians too (which you deny) there is a pattern emerging here. Oh, and your posts have been picked up by way more than three of us.

Of course there is s principle of free speech, but this is not about that. It is about pretending to be one thing while being something else. As I have said before, there are some posters on here who have clear far right views and express them. As much as I disagree with those views at least you know what you are dealing with and can challenge them. With this particular poster that isn’t the case and he pretends to be one thing when he is something else. I have an axe to grind with him because he spent a lot of time following me around on here slagging me off and calling me a liar. It is good to see that so many other posters now see him for what he is and his latest attempt to label me a liar over the use of the Pepe Le Frog meme by the alt-right is easily disproved by 30 seconds on google. Perhaps he will now stop pretending, have the courage of his convictions and say what he really thinks? Still, as Verbal points out, individual spats are boring and I am happy to let others pick up from here as hypo should never get a free pass. Support for extremists be they left or right should always be challenged Whelk, wouldn’t you agree? As for Ms Hopkins, I would rather stick pins in my eyes.

You also have an axe to grind my strange little mollusc. Is it possible to “bandy about” too freely when people post in support of it? I have an issue with people who pretend to be what they are not. You have an issue with that. Perhaps you should also get over yourself and speak out against people who support the likes of Yaxley-Lennon? Unless of course you think they have a point? As for your comment about Katie Hopkins, how old are you?
