Well most film adaptations of books could've been much longer than they were but it would sort of negate the point a bit

I don't know, I feel better getting that off my chest tbh

Canny read that. Not that it's something we don't already know but it's nice to hear it from an outsider now and again.

Have a good one, Stevie Baby.

It's never even half the content of TLOTR though. And yes, I've read them all. It should be one film about 2 hours long (max) imo. The whole point of The Hobbit is that it's a much more light-hearted prequel

He's not likely to say otherwise given he's the only viable option at left-back anyway.

So it was a little while after you first came on here and the club was in turmoil then. People were still fucking seething about things so the point still stands.

Fair enough, I should have kept that to myself. Not because it isn't true but because I hate myself for giving you the satisfaction.

I wouldn't be surprised if we don't sign a centre-back in Jan. Douglas is on a free in the summer isn't he?

The irony. You know why I think you're a prick, CT. It's because most football fans like to wind up the opposition whereas you like to do it to your own. You first came on here when the club was in absolute turmoil and fans were going beserk over KK getting shafted and you were taking the piss and advocating giving Dennis Wise the manager's job etc. Fair enough, you've reined it in a bit after a few tantrums and the fucking off to N-O / coming back with your tail between your legs etc. But after a massive win last night all you came on here for was one of your trade-mark attention-seeking fishing expeditions. And you wonder why you're a standing joke / no one takes you seriously.

This is where the mackems get this football was invented in 1992 stuff from btw.

Fair enough, I got that wrong

I think you mean worst start. Although I'm not convinced that's accurate. Moot anyway though because we didn't lose. You can't seriously try and tell me you think this is worse than how we looked when we last went down though, in terms of virtually any way you would measure things. We had a worse start then as well (I've just checked) so you're wrong again.

In 98/99 we had 16 pts after 14 games. Happy now?

Apart from being statistically incorrect I've seen a hell of a lot worse tbh. You must've too, especially seeing as you used to go in the 80s. Get a fucking grip man, you massive fanny.

Mr Talksport

One of our worst seasons

Would still ideally like us to sign a left-footed full-back and see him moved to the right to combine with HBA.

Aye. Exactly the same as LBT tbh.

Yeah, pretty much. Can't do him much good having to play virtually every game when he's fit coupled with what he puts into games.

The best "football" (as opposed to most effective) we ever played under KK was the sort of one-touch football typified by the 2-1 away win to Norwich. I can sort of see your point about tiki-taka at times but that's down to the opposition trying to nullify it rather than the ethos behind it imo. Also, I don't see Keegan's brand of football as being 'blood and snots' as you call it. Perhaps its biggest downfall in his first spell as manager was a lack of English 'no nonsense' cynicism. Then again, CT, you clearly know absolutely fuck all about football so I'm not sure why I'm bothering

I was alluding to that on page 1. Too subtle?

He is Mr Self-Fulfilling Prophecy though.

What an arsehole he is btw. That 'spoken word' tour he did in the 90s as well.
