How do you prepare a bid? Do you have to double count the notes to make sure you have the right amount?

danger to himself

you talking about the gaffer or allen?

tbf those are quotes which it feels like you have started producing as a counter balance. I said that your position was fair enough but it obviously informs all your posts on the issue.

Scouse twang?

They hired Kenny which seemed sensible and then gave him money. How are they being critiscised for the specific deals. Kamf's play the post is a noble concept but we don't exist in a vacumn. I've been reading all you guys post for a helluva a while now. I'm pretty sure that if FSG hire Rafa then MFletcher doesn't make that post. You can gather that from having read everything he's posted over time. Other names?.... Smithdown is charging round the board in a mard with Rodgers but that's actually because he isn't Kenny. Flight and Gomez don't really view anything FSG do without cynicism. Fair enough but again I'm sure if they hire Rafa then Gomez gives them some slack. Dunno about Flight. You can tell from a discussion with Earl on fullbacks, even if no names are named that he rates Kelly over Johnson as it's apparent in every post on the subject and acts as a driver. You could tell yellow jumper never truly rated Xabi like some well well before this summer and you could use that to view his posts on why Macsh was more important or on how Torres and Alonso were no different.. He is obviously a much much better poster than me btw. Epic Swindle August 10 - May 12. clear he doesn't like rafa, this feeds through into not slating hodgson, defending Kenny (although the primary motive was love for Kenny) which in turn lead to everything being everyone's fault bar Kenny's. I know there is a difference between opinion and "agenda" as we/I use it but if someone's position on something stems from their position on something else and the logic fails as a consequence, then I think occasionally that will get called on a discussion forum. Not everyone is Swan Red and can constantly question themselves on everything which they write and are they being fair and all that. That takes ridiculous stamina.

It's reductionist. every single decision can be traced back to them because they hired everyone. It's a nonsense to look at it like that. If Rodgers plays johnson when kelly is on better form it doesn't become their fault for hiring him

They hired football guys gave them cash. Twisting this into their fault smacks of an agenda

It's got naff all to do with FSG. It's the gafer's devotion to his style.

and they didn't hire Wafa back did they MFletcher

No one bid for Suarez except us and Arsenal didn't pay for alonso when he was cheeeeeaaaaaap. These things happen is the point. You know this so the introduction of the hybolic language doesn't really further the discussion.

we are about to get mugged off so hard

Rio didn't make the comment. Given their make up I'm sure the FA think that it's a compliment and not an insult anyway.

How many clubs did we beat for the signature of Luis Suarez. how many clubs were looking to pick up Alonso or 18 mill in the summer of 09?

Nope. If you can harness Carroll there is all kinds of devastation there

You play the hand you're dealt

was just about to reply to his post saying similar. Maybe the 2nd half of that season he wasas good though. Lucas was another who picked up his level under Hodgson.

Yeah, I'm fully aware of that but Rodgers isn't Del Bosque, we're not spain, Dempsey isn't Fabregas and we play in England.

Tbf Sylvestre was just nodding them in standing all by himself

We fell apart under Kenny in the last half of last season so nah. Carroll's got the capacity to destroy defences. It's not like he's gonna be repaced by a top line player. Just all seems pointless. Rodger's footballing intellectualism could disappear up it's own a*** if you can't fit a Carroll in there.

I would hate it if we'd come all this way for that.

I think the struggle may be different. If someone does something racist which reveals them to be racist then this becomes their defining characteristic in a lot of people's eyes. It's obviously not though. That person may be a nice guy or girlin other aspects. However because they are now viewed exclusively as a vile racist, thse who know them seek to defend them and that is where some of the more weird defences come from.

The statement would be racist and would obviously be abhorred but does it follow that the person who said it thinks that other races are inferior to their own? Does that person hate people from other races?
