Not getting excited. He may very well not want to join us because we are not as big a club as he is seeking, but he certainly wouldn't want to come over as that insulting to a team that probably put in a perfectly respectable offer for him. Be careful who you tread on etc. That is the trouble with twitter....things can come over far worse than you intended.
I agree with you, certainly not a done deal, but i was already quitely optimistic about this even though other people were saying its a pipe dream. We're the only club in for him, we seem to be willing to pay the buy out clause and since it went on this long i can only assume his agent isn't against the idea and hasn't rebuffed us. It also seems weird that he would go out of his way to appease Southampton fans if there wasn't a chance of him coming here. But most importantly, i like getting excited. its half the fun :)

Clearly my age, lack of intellect or social media ignorance, but I don't quite get why this is good news. Could someone younger, brighter and more savvy than me explain (this rules out a minute % of the population).
 
I don't have a problem with any individual who wishes to eat a hamburger. I just feel there is a right way and a wrong way to farm livestock. And keeping them in such horrible conditions in order to produce as much meat for as cheap as possible, is not the right way. Therefore it's the industry that I have an issue with. I think certain meats should be more luxury items. A steak, for example, should cost 30 or 40 quid, not 5. It would obviously be so much more beneficial to people's general health too, if we 'limited' the amount of red meat they consumed.

Anyway, has he signed yet?

In my current state of gout, I believe you may have a point.
 
Ha. That comment's pretty cool. Not going to read too much into it but I really like that he's done that.
 
In life, success is measured by breeding success and passing on your genes. By that criterion cows, sheep and pigs are successful. If we didn't eat them they wouldn't exist in this country....couldn't have large herbivores lumbering around eating our food. That would mean soil condition for growing vegetables would decline in some areas and land suitable only for raising livestock would quickly become thickets and our lovely landscape would disappear. That is what makes it my duty to carry on eating meat. :)
That would be all fine and dandy if the animals you eat were all free range and their waste used for keeping the soil fertile. They probably aren’t and it isn’t. And you should see the chemical nightmares used for fertiliser instead of natural manure. Most of the cows you see in fields are dairy animals, while the beef cattle are, except for organic or welfare friendly farms, reared in intensive units. As for pigs, don’t get me started.

Sorry, I can’t. I may have missed something. Seems like he has said he didn’t say that, but I can’t see anywhere where he said that he didn’t say that.

My hens are free range (when we are in - 60-70% of the time) and they certainly make the soil fertile with their waste. A lot.

If you click on the Instagram link posted above, then click on “show all comments”, the first one is from qpromes and simply says “false”. That seems to be his genuine Insta account.

Exactly, this is how agriculture should be done, but it hasn’t been since the end of the Second World War.
 
the other thing people may have missed is that he replied a minute after it was posted.
I could be wrong about this as i basically only use instagram to stalk football players, but i don't think theres any way to search for words in a post, only hastags. so that implies at the time this was posted he was following the feed from one of the hashtags on the post, either [HASHTAG]#saintsfc[/HASHTAG] or [HASHTAG]#wemarchon[/HASHTAG].
He probably searched his name
 
Come on here to read up on any updates regarding Promes and I find myself reading about the ethical issues surrounding the breeding of livestock for meat haha - got to love this board

Mmmmm, £5 steak.

Just me who thinks steak is one of the most over rated foods going? Give me chicken over red meat every day

With you there. Now, a $50 steak is nice, but I'll still generally take a $50 seafood entree (because I seem to be incapable of passing up seafood at restaurants) over it every time.
