This Charming Man

Charlie Dimmock? Haha.

20 at least. Though we should just be content with making double figures, with a defence like ours, our main aim should be just trying not to humiliate ourselves any further.

Our support has always been poor from the Midlands up. Seeing as we're playing rubbish and this is on TV, we will be lucky to have a 1000 there.

Might be nothing and the bookies just reacting to a bit of money being lumped on, though that is a pretty huge leap!

He's already established himself as a legend at this club. I reckon I'd go on some kind of William Foster rampage if it did happen. Thankfully I don't think NC, LR or NA are stupid enough to do that... stupid enough not to strengthen our defence sufficiently but not stupid enough to do this.

Completely missing the sarcasm in someone's post. Priceless.

Le Tiss' will have them if his season ticket hasn't been reactivated.

If Ipswich are able to 'poach' our manager then things really are going wrong behind the scenes. Ridiculous thread.

I imagine Jordan Sibley would do that, whilst smirking.

Completely agree with this. He is also at times trying to be a player he's not and almost trying to play a Chaplow type role which isn't what we want from him. We want him trying to find space to receive the ball and do the damage with the ball at his feet, we need that even more with Ramirez out.

Well that is one of the key parts of his job, isn't it? The buck has to stop with someone. It's all well and good saying signing players is a tricky business, I don't argue with that - we might not get our first target, we might not even get our second but you have to get someone in to improve the squad. We failed to do that in 3 positions this summer. You could forgive one but 3 is a massive failing.

My Bluetooth name used to be 'Send Me Porn' and people actually would. I turned it off though when one night a squaddie sent me a picture of himself naked in the local Wetherspoons bogs.

Must've spent over £250 in the club shop and you can't have ever said anything bad about Cortese on here or Twitter.

I wonder if other teams have threads on dropping their most creative and effective players? Isn't he joint top of the Premier League assist chart? I'm just at a loss as to how constant woeful defending should be blamed on our left winger. Strange, strange theory.

Is she allowed to talk to them freely or has NC given her a script she must follow?

I wouldn't want Hoddle back until he sorts his barnet out. Looked terrible on Sky Sports the other day.

Given his comments regarding Ramirez when we were chasing him, it's pretty safe to say NC was the driving force behind that one. I reckon Clyne, Davis and J Rod were NA signings and the rest NC/LR signing's... just my opinion.

Can someone contact the Taliban and tell them to stop laying IED's. It's unfair.

Yes, that's what I said. Why is it so hard for you to grasp? Here are some quotes from Chelsea when they signed him, I've highlighted the keywords for you; Their Chief Exec "David Luiz is one of the great defensive prospects in world football" Luiz himself "It is a major challenge for me but I am determined to adapt to this excellent league" So yes, they spent £21m on a defender who they were hoping to develop.

The fact you had to reply with that means you don't have a comeback. Just admit you've been outwitted and we'll move on, thus saving you further embarrassment.

They must've been avoiding here since the start of the season then.

Who spent the first few months of his Chelsea career being ridiculed for running around like a headless chicken. Thankfully, he had some decent CB's with Premiership experience alongside him who he was able to learn off. He's now a totally different player to the one they originally signed. Positional awareness has improved massively and he doesn't go on his suicidal runs forward as often.

Please re-read my original post and really concentrate hard on what I said there. I'm not repeating myself. Thank you for highlighting the Cahill signing, you've helped prove my point perfectly. Why didn't they go out and sign some CB from Juve, Real or someone for £30m? Why settle for Bolton's Cahill? Ah, Premiership experience. Glad I could be of assistance to someone less fortunate than myself.

Still Cheese On Toast then, I take it.

If we sign two decent CB's in January then yes, we have every chance. If we don't, no chance. Our only aim for the season then would be trying not to break Sunderland's unwanted record...
