it has always been my dream to go to Anfield - it was just so massive - the fans were fantastic - the expectation seemed so much greater than at St Marys

Think we should add Bromley vs Eastleigh to list of big games - they could be 90mins away from playing Pompey in FA cup

After all the years of decline SFC was a wreck when it was taken over - Cortese created a vision and got everyone in the club behind that vision, the turnaround was quite remarkable. I dont think that being all nice like we are now would have worked when we were in that state - like in any organisation there would have been a number of competing forces all championing there own dept - Cortese ensured that didnt happen. When Cortese left none of that vision has really changed just a change of attitude and I think it has been pretty straight forward to carry on his vision for the current team

I always keep a look out for Young Boys

So injured he's made the bench

I think he must be really Peed off that he's lost his recreation area

Thats interesting as after 30 years of unmitigated dislike of both scouse teams, I too have started to stop hating Everton and moving on to plain indifference. However my distaste for Liverpool continues unabated

Quite a few years ago I woke up on my birthday opened the curtains and in the flat opposite was a naked girl - I then went to work and started to read the Marketing Week and there was a job advertised for a marketing Manager at SFC ( I was a marketing manager at the time) - so I thought it must have been fated that this was my lucky day - so I applied that morning for the job. Never heard a thing back from them PS never saw the naked girl again either

Me - obviously the flak I would get from this forum would break my soul but the £30m might make it bearable

Its nothing to do with money as we keep getting told by the judas's We just need to build a bigger stadium, steal the history from the skates, win the PL, offer CL football - simple Obviously this would involve sacking Ralph Krueger and reemploying Cortese

just look at whats happening with QPR - the FFP rules are bolox

I think he might have been on Les Reed's

Like

I would be interested to know how much people would be willing to pay for Lovren - obviously no where near the £20m we fleeced Scousehampton for - I think I would go up to about £8m

Does nt sound too good for Gaston - started training in the 1st week and then told he couldnt be on the training trip because he wasnt fit enough - sounds like he is on his way out

If the post was pointless why bother pointing out the pointlessness of the pointless points

Looks an excellent signing and ready to go straight into the U14's

Mods not brave enough to make this a sticky?

read the answer - its says it all there - we are not going to get any better if we keep selling our best players to those around us

As much as people dont like it we have hit our glass ceiling. In footballing terms and financially we cannot and will not be able to compete organically with the Top 4 tier of MUFC, MCFC, AFC and CFC . In footballing terms we competed last year more than adequately with the next group down the Europa league group LFC and THFC but we are unwillingly to compete financially. Whilst we are unable or unwilling to compete financially with these two groups our better players will be cherry picked off. It is unrealistic to expect SFC to continue to upgrade each player that we lose, we can mitigate a lot of the risk but its always a risk bringing new players in. Our squad was brutally exposed last season and this season we have the Europa league - I assumed our plan was to adequately increase the strength in depth to cope with extra games - with what RK and LR have said I dont see any evidence of this and the evidence of players we are buying like Martina does not build hope. It looks like we will be relying on the kids as depth. Whilst we have all these limitations we will not get any further other than with extremely good fortune. Ive enjoyed the ride and will continue to enjoy if we are there or there abouts the Europa league, however that hope of always bettering the season before is fading away

I would of thought that the answer was no

The scousers excuse last season was it was so difficult to adapt with so many new players so what do they do this season change the entire squad nearly scum of the earth

good riddance you judas c%%t

Bradford City have signed striker Steven Davies on a one-year deal.

I would be happy to if I was looking forward to another season challenging for Europa league those signings wont help them break into the top 4 or compete in the CL
