    The big money signings delivered (Ritchie, Gayle, Hayden, Clark), it's mainly the cheaper signings (Diame, Sels, Hanley, Gamez, Lazaar) that have been turds. It's not a bad hit rate in terms of success for money, considering that Villa spent an absolute fortune on dogshit that's got them mid table.

    Fudge, fudge, fudge, who knows, who cares? All I know is we are promoted. That will do thanks very much.

    Hayden looks a good buy, one of your cheapest.

    You've still got no fight though, it looks like nothing has been learned.

    Do you expect another influx of cheap French tat again?

    Fredor has more bans than a Gretna Green wedding centre.

    I think some of our players thought they could turn up and win. Odd really given most of them are Championship quality.

    No more cheap French tat hopefully. I don't trust Ashley though. I still suspect he will do the bare minimum and pull the rug from beneath Rafas feet causing him to leave us.

    Things would have been different if Hayden had been fit for more of the season, and if Gouffran had kept up his early season good form, as it is we've had to rely on crap like Colback and Diame in midfield, and we were never going to walk the league with them in the team.

    I can't see us raiding France again, Carr's no longer deciding transfers, we definitely need more guts in the team though - ideally Cairney from Fulham or Clucas from Hull, and a striker that isn't going to get crocked, as we'll never be able to rely on Gayle in the Prem.

    I think that you might be pleasantly surprised by Fatty this time, QWOP . . . . he'll have realised that it could work if a decent amount is spent on quality. He'll have looked at other, much smaller, teams that have done well after spending relatively modestly, and all that he needs to do to make it work is be better than about 10 'not very good' teams.

    He'll get a much better 'return' if he sells the club after this speculation, and he's almost certainly 'woken up and can smell some coffee' now, so the realisation will, at last, be there.

    He's got a very good, experienced, manager now, and I'll be amazed if he doesn't 'go for it' this time :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Mind you . . . . I fecking hope that you're right and I'm wrong :cheesy:

    Would love this to be true, but we clearly know by now all Fatty wants is Prem survival, we know he's not bothered about falling out with the fans, and doesn't care about us finishing high or winning cups, and the lack of spend in January showed once again that Ashley is ready to put the breaks on and limit spending. Rafa is a winner who wants success and will not settle for mediocrity, Ashley is a slimy stooge who just wants us to be consistently average and have no ambition so he can line his pockets with the proceeds....this is not a good combination.

    I must confess, I haven't really enjoyed the Championship this year, definitely not when compared to the last time we went down and won it at a canter. Everyone else is in the PL, no one really pays attention to us down here. I live down south and everyone talks football, Liverpool, Chelsea spurs arsenal blah blah blah, but no one looks down at the lower leagues, but next year, we are up with the big boys again, competing!

    New sponsorship, new kit (with the PL badge on) new signings, money, optimism. I genuinely believe we will break our highest transfer fee record this summer. a combination of BT and Sky, MOTD too! love motd!

    Coming straight back up is all that matters, who cares about finishing top? No one will care come October/November, we will all be concentrating on the big league.

    As for the mackems, pi$$ poor squad, Defoe leaving on a free, David Moyes as manager, Owners looking to sell and little chance of coming back up next year!!! I honestly believe you could really really struggle next year hahahahaha

    It's funny you know. The mag's chance to mock with any effect was months and months ago, they missed the boat while they all had their head's up their own batty cavern. All they're doing now is trying to take the piss out of a sea of apathy.

    Yet I post a couple of tweets and we've got Charles Dog Teat nibblin away crying about stat presentation. Grand :biggrin:

    You were doing good, it was interesting until the final paragraph, where you just cast your opinion.

    Little chance of coming up next year, maybe, maybe not, but not fact.

    Sound's like your lot from 12 months ago, Barry White squad, didn't have Defoe and had McLaren then Manuel, owners looking to sell.

    oh really, I swear all I hear now is how we should have won the league with the squad we had? Ashley hasn't been looking to sell for a few years now buddy, keep up.

    and any ways who cares about 12 months ago. I care about the next 12 months!

    He really won't. He'll think "Right lets choke the money until this Spanish twat ****s off. Lee - give Joe and Alan a call see what they're up to. Actually its too obvious. Has Dave Jones not just been bulleted by Hartlepool? Top flight experience - check. English - check. Pay him peanuts - check. Desperado - check. Dodgy past - check. He's probably got a house up here, no relocation charges. Sign him up tomorrow Lee. The daft gets will still buy the tickets and the shirts"
