I'd agree but some good'uns would miss out, notably Matt Woods and Kevin Moran. W've been blessed over the years with centre-backs that held the side together. We''ve also had great keepers, even in the bad years.

There is for me though!!

I don't understand how you can't!!!! Don't tell me there's two of you arguing the incredibly unlikely!

But you will......

Do we have a positive goal difference or a negative one? How does that compare to the clubs around us?

Re Reed, we wouldn't buy anyone based on that argument. He's as good a "banker" as you could see.

Virtually!

I think I'll go onto the Brereton thread---should be safe there!

Like this you mean:

I'll call it a day I think!

I meant within the realms of reasonableness. Everyone else would know that. I wasn't suggesting we buy 2 different duds instead. If the manager had signed 2 stiffs like Etuhu and Murphy you'd have been defending the manager and I wouldn't, that's the irony!

I've got the memory of a goldfish have I? Really? Attacking the man again with uber-hyper bullshit. When I say that the money could and should have been spent much better, in your world that means signing the equivalents of Etuhu and Murphy does it? As I wrote it could mean painting the stadium, its hard to think of spending it less wisely than we did. The Championship, as everybody says is incredibly tight this season.Don't you agree that 2 WISE transfers in could have made the difference? Or do we have to wait for promotion due to some timetable that might never work? I never used the word obscene though I think I remember someone else using it .But we're all the same aren't we if we disagree with you? I certainly could have used blunder because 5 months in, it doesn't look like we got a good deal as you yourself come close to admitting at times. And if I'm not worth discussing football with, why do you keep continuing to discuss it with me? And who is worth discussing football with on here since almost every post you make laments the poor standard and stupidity of most posters---not you of course!

Count your blessings mate! You're just thick, I'm "fucking thick"!!

The more they cost, the lower the bar!! Oddly!

We were 3-0 up at Stoke remember? Only a missed pen saved us. We are masters at losing from winning positions,

Just wondering how many posters SB and Blue regards as thick? I'm assuming he is someone of gigantic cerebral acumen.

I said "its £7M we could have spent on someone else". With the best will in the world I can't see how that cannot be true! For that matter we could have spent it tarting up the stadium. Whatever we could have done with it, it would have been better than what we actually did!

Does TM read this forum?!! LT quoting TM saying we'll have to 'delve' into the "foreign market' this summer because the British market is too dear!

Except for their finishing. They should have won that one.

Doesn't matter how its structured, its still £7M we could have spent on someone else.

Brereton is competition?!!!

You think they could then?

words!

I was with you up to that point!

That is such a good post, reasoned, sensible and moderate. No evidence to support their blind faith, just so want it to be so therefore ignore anything that threatens their view. Farage and Johnson couldn't do it better.
