Winning football matches is the best tonic. If you don't put a team out in order to try and win a match, why even bother?

So are you saying that we are the only club where that happens?

Perhaps we are looking at this the wrong way? Perhaps we should let them have all the guns that they want, just stop the supply of ammunition. That way they can cuddle up to their favourite toys all they like but will only be able to do any damage by hitting someone with them.

Ah, so are we are getting nearer an answer to the question of whether you agree with Donald Trump and would close the border to Muslims! I also love your line "But as long as the luvvies keep demanding that we open our borders to the whole world." You are right, the sooner all countries close their borders to everyone else the world will be a better place!

We played Arsenal off the park. We played WHU off the park for 45 mins. Apart from the Liverpool game we could have got something out of all of the other games. Points wise we have done poorly but we are not far off winning games. If we were being played off the park every week that would be a different matter. But as things stand we are not actually in the relegation zone are we.

You made that definition a while back before I had you on ignore. Where did I ever say that being a Christian is just about celebrating the birth of Jesus once a year? What I did say is that if you do celebrate the birth of Christ (and there is a big difference between that and just having a p*ss up) then that is a pretty good indication that you are a Christian (following Christ etc). You are the one who seems to be confused mate. Also if you are not sure what it has to do with what Verbal wrote perhaps you need to go back and read it again and Verbals previous comments about Christmas etc. ps Before you go off on one again about not being on ignore - I am responding to this because Whelk quoted it and not because I read the original.

No one is denying anything but you would probably still be saying the same thing if we were 4th Alps Feel free to fret about relegation when we are in 13th place. Could it happen? Yes. Is there any point in wetting the bed at this point. No.

In your case Jamie as you pick and chose which media reports to believe.

My thoughts exactly. We are very good at writing off players on this forum. If Liverpool were to come in for him the attitude might change some. And as unlikely as you might think that is Citeh were sniffing around in April if the media are to be believed.

That wasn't strictly the case though was it? The same article said that up to about 300 bits of information had come in from Muslim sources so clearly some information is coming in.

Not at all. I also know a lot of Katies who are lovely. It is just this one I have a problem with.

Fair enough Verbal

Can we agree that she is a b*tch?

Romeu is never far from a red card himself. As much as I would love to see Wanyama made to sit on the bench for a while until he gets his head back from the Emirates or wherever it is I wouldn't want to be without both of them.

He is one in a very long line of ex players who have come back to haunt us.

I would suggest that there is a difference between gloating and wallowing in negativity but that is just my opinion?

Sorry for the late response but I have just picked this up. Verbal, you are in danger of becoming another Hypo! I have not confused anything. I know full well that the "festive season" is enjoyed by many as an excuse for a party. That is why I made the point that those who celebrate the birth of the son of God are Christians (Hypos definition of a Christian is someone that follows Christ). There is clearly a difference between those who celebrate the birth of the saviour and those who don't give a toss but enjoy everything else that goes with it. That is why I mentioned about adopting the American practice of using the phrase "Happy Holidays" instead of "Happy Christmas" (although you watch all the people who don't "follow Christ" suddenly kick off if their right to say Happy Christmas is called into question!). As for "ritual fundamental religiosity" I went to the local church Nativity at Christmas and although you say it has nothing to do with the festive season, the Canon who gave the service seemed to disagree big time. I appreciate that it ties in with Paganism but as wilkipedia says "Christmas (meaning Christ's Mass) is am annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed most commonly on 25th December as a religious and cultural celebration amongst billions of people around the world. A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it is prepared for by the season of advent or the Nativity Fast and initiates the season of Christmastide which historically in the west lasts 12 days."

Just read the article and they are saying that Koeman moved the meeting forward by 10 minutes and there was also some confusion over unfamiliarity with the hotel. Apparently Mane was 2 hours late so not sure how that excuses him!

It appears that everyone else managed to get there on time though.

It wouldn't be good if we took clowns seriously would it?

Yes I know.

Calm down dear. As you say it is only a football forum. By the way re pitchforks, go and look at post #334. Also I should add that Batman was trying to get people to dress up as clowns the other day (the Arsenal match I think) in protest at the way the club is being run. Ok, not quite pitchforks but a protest is a protest. Oh and if you find me tiresome just a little tip. Put me on ignore.
