I love how in the first month when we signed Toby and two other defenders as well as extended Bentaleb's contract and retaining Kane and LLoris was the best thing ever. With a month left in the window we have ample time to sign a striker and a midfielder yet people are considering us a threat for mid table.

I have not seen anyone posting that we don't need signings. Your equating people not panicking with people not wanting any new players. I think most people want a new striker or two.
I'm sure you have some logic in your thoughts and the opinions you post.
However, its not good logic.
Nailed on..
Not red ribbon i presume sir?
What like help build the new stadium or serve up some hot dogs?
Nah. Sorry. It went over my heed.
Freakyish thing. Just as I posted that post there was a massive drum in the hotel entrance. Turns out there is massive wedding happening. Why am I mentioning this? There were bagpipes! This massive fuck off wedding party coming down the stairs to huge drums much wailing and a hollering and fucking bagpipes.
How queer.
Anyway that why I didn't reply sooner as I had to watch the spectacle. Was almost as good as my wedding 2 years ago. Ahh. Memories.
Anyway. I heard Poch thinks you're a cunt and sammys cool. Daniel quite likes you though. That's what I heard.
It will have to be something forum based.
Maybe a signature saying something of the victors choosing?
So all the people saying "dont melt" etc etc etc, reserve the right to melt in a week if we get dicked 4-0 at Old Trafford...
Rightio, good one.
I've bookmarked the quote lets re-group mid season

We will to set the parameters before though.
Your shed must be bouncing. Bet your neighbours in Peckham are fucking raging.
So basically, cos we made some early signings and got optimistic, six weeks later when the worst part of the squad is still very much intact, and the second worse part simply 3 players short, with Utd away in 7 days, its silly to be concerned.
I love how our shambolic transfer window track record is forgotten and some have blind faith that this year will be different.
And yet I can't remember when they last beat us in the league table. I can remember that they only recently got promoted to the PL. Not sure people understand how lucky we are to follow one of the six best teams in the country.

would you mind explaining to me why the hell you'd disagree with me saying that we played good football against QPR when we beat them 4-0 and absolutely ran that entire game?See this is the issue I have. I don't want a high net spend (define high anyway, £5m, £10m or City levels?).
But you can't dress up a zero net spend as anything but a general short-changing and even a failure when you're having to flog out most of your recent signings at a loss individually and, having had 4 managers in 3years.
It's about a smart net spend that may have nicked 2 more points in a season and seen us appear in the Champions League again, more than negating that spend, making us more attractive to players, investors etc.
It's not easy of course but it's been pretty plain to see at times that even when we spent money there were some bigger question marks and gambles than there needed to be. Magnificent 7 for £100m without a kick in the Premier League between them?....Fucking nuts. Now all those that want to cover themselves by cuddling up in a comfy balance-sheet and take the high ground about their patience, as if any of us seeing a different bigger picture other than it's all part of a perfectly acceptable 20year master-plan, we are all of us wanting to do a Leeds or expecting to spend like Chelski or City. That's total crap, there is a balance that we are way way off of.
Bottom of net table spend and finishing 4th, 5th, 4th, 5th, 6th, 5th is lucky-old-us for some, how dare we aspire to more or we can't catch the top 4 anyway so why bother. I think it says that with some more money spent smartly at the right times and who knows what might have been. Maybe not tons of inadequate players following falling just short of 3rd and 4th and therefore watching players leave for Champions League or not coming to us because we don't have it.
yh if.....
im pretty sure whoever we sign now probably wont start against utd, even the players we are linked with are not exactly going to be nailed on starters yet. they're good players with potential ur idea that we go and sign a number of players then play them against utd is fucking crap especially when u consider poch's system being based on teamwork and understanding
and ur negativity is draining...
Will be less of a melting for me more a prolonged drawn out session of slowly and methodically headbutting a solid bit of brick wall through a 24 hour period whilst crying, giggling hysterically and pissing my knickers. Oh and screaming. And swearing. And there may be whisky involved too.
