Exactly anyone that pays to go to magalluf or Benidorm after the age of 21 needs their heads looked at

I'd never dream of going to magalluf once I got past 21 let alone if I had their kind of money. WTF possesses a guy who has the cash to globally travel to go to Majorca..ffs

Absolutely I was just highlighting fine margins we could have finished higher had we not conceded last minute equalisers to Bournemouth and Burnley etc it could have also went the other way too Next season if we don't improve like others do it could see the flip side

Dinna about fucked like. Have people just completely forgot how good we were since January like? Unbelievable. West Ham buying a £22m centre back doesn't make them automatically better than us, that's not how how football works. We were far superior to them last season and still have the same squad minus Kenedy. I think the off-season has made people forget just how good a tune Rafa gets out of our group of players, and how good he is at having us win the little tactical battles that go a long way in such a tight league. I think it's a bit ridiculous to predict relegation for us on the evidence of last season tbh, we have one of the best managers in the league, man. The pessimism in here whilst partially understandable given our transfer history, is going way over the top at the moment imo. I didn't say we'll get relegated, I'm merely stating we played better than the sum of our parts whilst a large proportion of the league underperformed last season. We still have a broadly championship side whilst those around us are strengthening and are showing some ambition. Yes we did well in the second half of the season, and Rafa is fucking amazing, but the squad needs some quality desperately just to stand still. We're also relying on some players who have been extremely inconsistent over the duration of their careers - Shelvey, Yedlin, Diame, Ritchie, Perez etc. so history tells us that it may be remiss to expect them to maintain their post-xmas form. People seem to forget the a few different results here and there and we more than likely would have been in big trouble last season. We lost only 1 less game than West Brom. The fact we drew so little is what saved us and had us in the heady spot of 10th on an absolutely pathetic 44 points. It just shows how absolute dogshit the premier league is outside of 6 teams Anyone can either finish 7th or bottom imo theres that huge a gulf

Absolutely all it takes is a few to start questioning him and slagging his ways off and the response will be gold

And so the groundhog days of the transfer window is repeating. This has been the norm for 10 years now both summer and winter. Im amazed anyone even bothers on here with transfer info or gets themselves pissed off with whats happening. This has been common ground for us year on year you'd think wed have gotten used to the happenings and just thought fuck it

Spot on. Surely nobody sane can think Ashleys interview/promotion piece with Sky was done for any other reason than to fuck off both the fans and Rafa. The 'sale' was him stringing everyone along for the laugh too. And now this is just business as usual as far as he's concerned. The list of clubs Ashley 'cannot and will not compete with' is growing year on year. There are 19 clubs in the Premier League we cannot compete with financially as it stands and if that is truly the case then we don't belong there. It's only a matter of time before we endure a 3rd relegation with this cretin he's having us all for idiots, because no matter what SJP will always be full even if we are fed on a diet of shit. Let's be honest that is exactly what we have been fed in his 10 years and even when we have a chance to push on he strangles the club Not in a million years should we not be able to compete with Burnley,Huddersfield,Bournemouth,Brighton,Watford Cardiff and Fulham both commercially and financially and for players. Yet here we are not even looking likely to spend anymore than 15m on a player when in the current climate gets you absolute dross

Clubs spending more and more money on players and we still behave as if we are stuck in the late 90s - mid 00s trying to grab 4 or 5 players for 30-40m Meanwhile in the real world Wolverhampton Wanderers, Palace,Leicester and even the mighty Bournemouth and Huddersfield are spending more on 1 player than our transfer record its utterly scandalous Only a matter of time we become a championship side again behaving this way and having this mentality

For someone of ridiculous talent Messi can't take a penalty for shit he must have missed double figures now

Like a kid with a new toy Just fuck off Lawrenson man you tedious sack of shit. What a complete tosspot man

Why is Lawro still on here, he's such a sarcy horrible cunt of a man who should have been peddled long ago

I really don't fancy them at all to go up I think there are a good half dozen teams better equipped than them

It's madness. Like us looking at Spurs or something and insisting they cover themselves in their own shit to get fake tans. "Better than San Tropez marra...." Dirty bastard sitting in public with his kex around his ankles

I genuinely believe that the vast majority on there would fail a psychological evaluation miserably

The fact we have not broken our transfer record since Michael Owen is an absolute disgrace. The way fees have went the last 5 years means teams like Leicester, Palace,West Ham etc spend nearly double our record on average players. There's also no co incidence we've never spent more than 15m on a player in this fat bastards 11 years here. We are the only team In the Premier who hasn't broke their record recently, it's pathetic not being able to compete with Watford,Bournemouth,Huddersfield financially

...like the Confederacy flags scattered around every state. Flags are far more commonly used in the US than in the UK, though. It's typical for somebody who is/was in the Forces to fly the relevant flag along with the Stars and Stripes. Occasionally I remind myself to get a Union flag to fly along with our US flag, but it clearly doesn't matter all that much to me as I've been here nearly ten years without one. We used to fly an Australian flag, but we rarely fly our England flag as it has "Aston Villa" across the middle. My wife sometimes tries to sneak it up without me noticing. confederacy flags are not scattered around every state at all its only the south and even here in the south it's only the redneck crew. you'll never get a northerner fly the confederation flag He lives in Ohio, bet there are a few over there... Probably in filthy Western PA too. Possibly but that's Yankee territory. They are prevalent here in Arkansas with the redneck white trash crew

Seriously that is excellent business for them, he's not worth half that, despite what they paid for him. Makes Colback look like a footballer. excellent business? oh yeah pay 13.6m for a player sell him for 6.6 18 months later that 6.6 won't even cover what they owe on him glad you're not my financial adviser

on our house here in the US we have 2 flags flying atop of our garage the union jack for me and the stars and stripes for her, we get people saying it's great all the time. Flags fly outside people's houses here very regularly it's a symbol of patriotism not some racist stance

Germany play in White as it was on their flag, One of a few countries that play in colours that aren't represented in their flags, crazy. Japan are one of them, Germany, Holland, Italy, ourselves and Spain have also had Blue in ours for some reason.

And still the stupid fuckers on RTG reckon they will be spending 10m on 2 players. Wake up call is coming it's way in August for these. I can't see them overhauling everything in time for a promotion push. Think they will be in that division for at least 2 years

Looks like we have just gave up on the season after working so hard to be safe. So disappointing we could have went for 8th position

Hes 64 and the most bitter childish cunt on there. his wife must have been gangfucked by mags at some time to be that bitter

2 wins from 22 in the championship at home man.....FFS

Checkatrade Trophy with their first team and the chances of being knocked out of the FA Cup before we even enter it is in store for these cunts next season
