    ... and you wonder why we don't take you seriously you clown ... tell me Aristotle, what has Snodgrass actually done in his career to date to suggest that he is better than 'everyone' in our squad? (he must be some keeper too <laugh>)

    ... was it perhaps Snoddy playing for Leeds <laugh> are you still suffering from Yorkshire regional penis envy? .... or maybe his being a key part in a Norwich side that got relegated ... those drains of yours must be rather crowded ...

    I'll give Fettis the benefit ... he can, on occasion, post some sense ... also likely that he was still in a euphoric state after your pre-season result as Barnsley ...

    Played in the Premier League and scored a decent amount of goals for a winger, he's also a very good crosser and caused a lot of problems for Premier League opposition. What has Drinkwater, Ulloa or Mahrez done in their careers to be considered even 'good'? <laugh>

    Nothing to argue with there ... I expect 2 to 3 more signings ... if not now, then already in the pipeline for January ...

    Says the person who judged Mahrez after one match at the very highest level! As for the "Snodgrass is better than everyone in your squad" comment, I don't think even you seriously believe that.

    Drinkwater is 24, Mahrez is 23. Snodgrass didn't play in the Prem until he was nearly 25. It's all relative.

    As for Ulloa, neither you nor I know know enough about him to comment.

    Of course I do, Moore is the only person I'd have at Hull City out of your entire squad. Fair point about Ulloa, he'll score goals for you this season judging by his Championship record, I still think Campbell would've been a cheaper and better option though.

    To be considered 'good'... nothing ..... Drinwater went completely unnoticed in the Championship last year and can consider himself very lucky that we agreed to let him have his own Championship winners medal made at Timpsons ... Ulloa is known as 'The Cyclone' because he constructed his own bike from old washing machine parts so that he could bike to Brighton's away games ... the clone bit also comes from the fact that a bloke with a very similar name has notched goals in competitive games against such illustrious opposition as Real Madrid, Arsenal and Hull City (as I know you struggle a bit please note that this is a heads-up that you may just have witnessed irony) and Mahrez was incredibly lucky to have been added to the Algerian World Cup squad simply because they could only find 22 other guys who had Algerian ancestry AND could also pronounce that tricky acronym 'FIFA' ... Snoddy on the other hand has ... signed for Hull City ... there you go you've just won an intellectual argument ... <laugh>

    Ulloa, Drinkwater and Mahrez have only cut it in the Championship, Snodgrass has cut it in the Premier League. He's better than everyone in your squad in terms of quality.

    That's true, we didn't get Long until January. Still, there's more than a month left, Pearson better knuckle down and get those signings made.

    ... now that you've explained it clearly ...yes of course he is <doh> ... Patches, if you'd include the words "in my opinion" - because my friend that is the only 'fact' in your sentence ...you wouldn't get so readily dismissed as a bell-end...

    Don't worry boys, we weren't good enough to do anything last season either...

    "I just can't see you doing anything, with the way you finished the season and the lack of signings in the summer, you'll be lucky to make the playoffs" <whistle>

    Guess hitting the 100-point mark wasn't a bad return...

    Thanks for the advice, bro <ok>

    I'll get on the phone to Pearson and remind him that he needs to knuckle down...

    Before judging our saying there not good enough passed on the fact they have never played in the prem before. At one point in their careers you could have said that to every prem player. 3 years ago Adam Lallana had just been promoted from League 1. Now is "worth" £25M and plays for Liverpool

    Snodgrass and Huddlestone in the same midfield would be a worry. Neither are the most mobile in the world

    Can you tell him to be less boring while you're at it? It will save me having to mute the TV during his MOTD interviews. Ta.

    Every player plays in the prem for the first time at some point having not played there before but does that make every player likey to fail as you seem to believe of our squad?

    But we are judging them now, not in the future. Drinkwater could be the next Scholes for all I know, Mahrez the next Bale, at the moment I would rather have Huddlestone and Snodgrass. In my opinion, two proven players in this league is far less worrying than having raw talent at the start of the season.
