    This is the happiest I’ve been since the Jimmy Adamson and Peter Reid days, probably happier if I’m honest, and while I’m on have you noticed I’m second off top in the predictions league <diva>

    It's a good post mate. I'm not at all suggesting we "throw" matches. I suppose it comes down to how many of our current squad we feel will be able to compete in the PL in the event of promotion. My own view is that,whilst I agree we have a very talented,and rapidly improving,group of young players,I'm not convinced many of them are yet ready,in which case,in order to avoid the bottom 3 as you mention,a significant amount of player investment will be required,or,are we going to be in and out of the relegation spots all season long....as we have been in the past. I disagree with you when you call stability and slow building "nonsense". We have made such rapid progress under the KLD regime,I think I'm suggesting that another year or 18 months of similar would provide a better platform to allow us to be competitive in the PL rather than to become the whipping boys again. However,I take your point,if we do make it this season,I'll be fully behind the lads,as I always am.

    That scene on Sunderland till I die will haunt me forever, that smug pricks face when he pays 3 times more than Ross was willing to offer boils my piss, still believe he spent the upcoming summers budget on that deal aswell to feed his ego

    Just thinking about Amad. On the assumption we can't afford the lad......if we don't go up and Man U don't think he's quite ready for them yet,we might get him on another season loan?

    Thought at the time, and still think Grigg was a panic signing.

    I didn’t watch it until we were promoted, it’s nice to see how far we’ve come but also infuriating watching Methven speaking to everyone like utter ****

    Found this on Facebook

    @BobFaesen
    Sekou Diawara moves to Udinese. Spits was superfluous at @KRCGenkofficial. Hamburg and Sunderland are concrete for Németh. There is interest from Cyprus for Dewaest. @hlnsport

    Tbf at least 50% of those people completely deserved it. I nearly put my foot through the telly where he asked for ideas and got blank looks, but they livened up considerably to shoot down any idea he had.

    Hopefully none of those obstructive people are still at the club as well.

    Not a chance, I would imagine there will be clubs already queuing up to sign the lad after seeing how much of a player he is. Man Utd will either keep him or try and recoup most of the money they shelled out for him.
