If we had Christiano Ronaldo in our team instead of Jason Puncheon we would be a better team.

 

FACT. Now stop being a helmet, if its possible.

 

No, I think you're find what he is saying, and I am taking a BIT chunk of poetic licence here is:

 

If we had Christiano Ronaldo in our team instead of Jason Puncheon, yes we would be a better team.

If we had 11 Christiano Ronaldo's we wouldn't be a better team, (he's no defender, probably not a good goalie, is so far up his own arse he wouldn't pass to himself) etc.

If a poll had been carried out one day before the Man City game, comparing the quality of Saints player by position vs the quality of Citeh player by position the consensus would have been that Citeh had far better quality players than Saints and were a better team.

Super useful insights that I for one would never have managed to figure out, for example:

 

If we replace our players with better players, we will be a better team.

 

:eek:

 

The point being we can't (or probably shouldn't) replace them all at the same time, so we need to identify which ones it is most prudent to replace sooner rather than later.

Aren't they then?

Such is the nature of football that freak results occur. It's why we love it and at times hate it in equal measure.

Another fact learnt from this forum is that time is irrelevant to an argument.

 

What may occur next week, or (on a match day thread) in th remanining 85 minutes of a game are irrelevant to opinion.

Some people will never, ever be happy.

Regardless of the level we are playing at, Chaplow will always provide the necessary bite in midfield.

We're all experts in rental litigation. And every other type of court case Cortese gets involved in, for that matter.

[The9]

People can completely make up "facts" to support their prejudices and never, ever post on the thread again after they're exposed as complete nonsense.

 

(viz : Plymouth beat us in the cup and that's why Lowe appointed Sturrock. Fact : Saints have only played one cup game in their history against Plymouth, in 1967, which Saints won.)

There are a million and one different ways to start an argument about stadium expansion.

The9 has too much time on his hands and his employer needs to have a word.

If TDD is representative of all armed forces personnel re the time spent on forums (fora?) when at work protecting our sovereign isle from invading hordes, then who is actually up on the battlements with a telescope?

Isn't that what Prince Harry is for?

Didn't we beat them in the Zenith Data Systems Cup in the early 90s also?

 

Oh... hang on I think I've been whooooshed...

Fact.

 

TSW has presided over the growth and development of one of the great literary minds of this Century.

 

A poster who's words paint canvases that linger forever in the memory.

 

In fact, in any other medium, he would, without doubt, be very close to winning a Nobel Prize for Literature.

 

No not me you mongs, I mean The Bard, The one and only, the man who's vision is so great he can even detect what colour tie you wear in an obscure Press Photo.

 

I give you the legend.

Not quite, he cooks for those that defend our island.

Lots of time between breakfast, lunch and dinner service to rack up the post count

Nice to see others pick up the baton

I learned that the Newcastle game isn't on the telly. Saved me feeling a bit of an idiot come one o'clock on Sunday!

I think you have missed the point of the thread. All the other posters are being ironic. This on the other hand is absolutely true.
