I for one cannot wait to hear his revisionism of his time with us. Vomit-inducing.

FFS. A price rise to watch Sky Sports and now this melt.

Thank you Great interview by Rafa after the match too

Bless Zanetti and Córdoba for trying and for understanding. I hope Adriano is still at peace. Mental health is scary shit when it creeps up on you and bites you in the ass. I know what stuff like bereavement and divorce can do to a man and it's not pretty and it's also not shameful to admit it's fucking hard.

I like him. Really want him to make a success of being here.

Like the look of this fella after watching that compilation vid. It's time for a pizza in the bath now it's official.

What Poseidon does he play?

Poll?

Good post. I wish I'd been as articulate as you at 16!

He's not wrong: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/02529667/filing-history Waaatson @paul_taylor1 · 3h Let's hope psc09 & psc02 have some ambition unlike fatwanker01 & speccylittleprick02 who show little ambition to build on last year

Love the comments underneath about our transfer war-chest being like the Ark of the Covenant. It may exist somewhere but it's difficult to track down

Great to see a player genuinely delighted to play for us. Hope he's good too.

Agreed. You only get one life and I'd rather spend it watching a fat, lazy waste of talent waltz his way through the opposing team as if the ball is stuck to his foot than watching an uninspiring grafter tracking his man back to our own penalty area. But then I'm a bit weird like that.

I'd have him back, absolutely no question.

That is the one that is actually annoying me, last year of his contract, much better than what we have, we should be tying him up asap. Kinky

You would definitely win on 'Pointless' with that answer.

Because we do everything on a shoestring

Wonder what Mike Williamson is up to these days.

It's just a shame we can't match our world-class manager with equivalent players. But we clearly don't have the money to operate at those levels right now and I don't see how we ever will while Ashley is here.

Do you really think Rafa would agree to only spend £20m? Aye. For all the 'chill, Rafa's got this' sentiment and the implications in the local media that he generally supports the previous concept of buying younger players for low fees, he's still a Premier League manager and wouldn't have stayed on without assurances over an appropriate budget. I'm not sure I'd trust Ashley's word on anything though. He could quite easily tell Rafa one thing but do something completely different in reality. Hope I'm wrong. We need to spend a lot to get this squad up to standard. Well I don't trust the f***er at all, naturally. We'll know soon enough, Rafa was very candid about what he thought of January when he said he was told deals were going to be done etc, and that the club couldn't make the same mistakes as the past. If they f*** him over again it'll all end in tears. That's what I'm concerned about. I'm probably being too cynical but.......... well, Ashley.

Do you really think Rafa would agree to only spend £20m? I don't know what's been agreed obvs. I'm sure he won't be happy with £20m but I just can't see Ashley agreeing to a £70m outlay or anywhere near that.

I still don't believe we have anywhere near £70m to spend. I can see us spending £20m tops.
