Nice that, Cath. Thanks for sorting it. Still having bother getting my head around this, like.

Better.

There we go. Record time.

Well, what are we to make of this comfortable victory over a team that finished 3rd in the Bundesliga? Preseason, eh?

It was the first top tier opponent we've faced, but, again, our lineup was not a fair representation of our abilities. In any case, let's not act as if this is a reaction purely based on last season. It's the same every year, which was my point. Any reactions like this to actual meaningful games will be justified, if a little melodramatic.

Really, though? You're using that as an analogy? As others have said, these games can't be seen as an indication of how we'll fare this season. We started the game today with a second choice central midfield partnership, a primary school strikeforce, and two lads playing their first 45 minutes of the season. Will our team to face Man City be exactly the same? Yes, the defence was disorganised, but they were offered zero protection from the inexperienced and unfit ahead of them. I'd also question just how much of a shit some of them gave. Well, just Mapou really. It's mental to be writing off the season based off this one game, when zero relevance is given to the games we've won after fielding weaker teams.

Right. So why has that only become relevant again today? Coincidence?

This guy is brilliant. That's how you do a meltdown. Make no fucking sense at all, and be angry as fuck doing it.

Well, after some relative optimism in recent weeks, it appears that the rank and file have collectively shit their pants again. One pre season defeat, man. Really despair at times. You see it every single season: Pre season build up - 'Pre season games are about fitness only, I'm not arsed.' Pre season win - 'Pre season games are about fitness only, I'm not arsed.' Pre season draw - 'Pre season games are about fitness only, I'm not arsed.' Pre season loss - 'WE'RE FUCKING GOING DOWN MAN!'

Creme de menth in pasta? Sounds fucking awful to me, like. Each to their own, I guess.

When it suits, eh.

No, I mean every single media report that's come out today on the back of this news.

Definitely, mate. All the evidence points to this not being the case, so you're spot on.

Seems the sensible option to have a try before you buy with this lad. I'm sure that the De Jong deal, last year, has had an effect when we're looking to bring in strikers with question marks over their potential. Fees being bandied about seem reasonable for a highly rated player with a more than decent record, too.

I'll often forgive, but I never forget.

Canny echo in here, like.

I was asking if that was what the dog got. Rhetorical, obviously.

The peas?

The estate agent will be getting paid to recommend that solicitor. His recommendation is based purely on this fact. Get your own solicitor. Friends and family would offer more trustworthy recommendations.

Succinctly put. Should be the tag line to this thread, really.

'... One greedy baaaastard'

Not just that, it was our decision to circulate it amongst elite European clubs/players/agents that really fucked our chances.

Mine is horrific. Gargantuan. A genuine danger to the public. I'm fucking terrified of it.
