Saint_Jonny Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 Know something we don't? Or did you sneeze, bang your head and start this thread by accident? I'll go with the latter...
Window Cleaner Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 Gonna be in big trouble in January. If it happens we'll get some serious swans, I'm sure we can find a suitable replacement if, and herein lies the rub, we pay enough to obtain someone of a similar standard and not go scraping around dutch bargain basements.
Batman Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 Would be utterly daft if the club sold him in January. Just can't see it happening. If that was what alpine was on about
Window Cleaner Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 Would be utterly daft if the club sold him in January. Just can't see it happening. If that was what alpine was on about Well the popular press and no doubt skysports seem to be trying to presuade everyone that it's a likely possibility. I expect Alps has been reading the football gossip columns, same as everyone else. The difference is in how you interpret the contents.
david in sweden Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 of course, mo£ey talks and if we start the bidding at £35 million.....we 'll see how far the auction goes......
wild-saint Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 Gonna be in big trouble in January. Has he been sold already then? what did we get for him?
Matthew Le God Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 [h=2]F**ked without Mane[/h]Gonna be in big trouble in January. As ever, utterly bizarre! But its what we've come to expect from an alpine_saint post or thread. 1) Why would the club sell him in January? The summer perhaps, but they have little reason to do so in January. 2) Why when he is sold do you not have confidence they can replace him? They have shown time after time the recruitment set-up at the club has a process that works more often than it doesn't. 3) Define "f**ked"? Because take Mane out of our squad and they don't replace him... we'd still have a very good Premier League squad. In any case if he is sold, they'll spend good money to replace him as they have shown in the last two seasons.
ericofarabia Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 Was hoping that this was some reference to The African Nations Cup, but I think Senegal didn't qualify (nor did Big Vics Kenya). Alps ITK?
igsey Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 Saints lose at the weekend --> Alpine starts a thread. It's the circle of SWF. Nothing to see here.
Matthew Le God Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 Saints lose at the weekend --> Alpine starts a thread. It's the circle of SWF. Nothing to see here. Yep, had Saints been given a penalty for the clear foul on Pelle and Saints got a draw then I doubt alpine_saint would have posted this thread. Its remarkable how easy every single one of his negative rants is to pick apart for the nonsense it is.
Matthew Le God Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 I'm actually intrigued as to alpine_saint's rational for posting this thread. Not only because its extremely vague as to what exactly he is saying, but also what kind of response did he expect he'd get and why?

He knew exactly what sort of response he'd get, which is why he posted it in the first place.
Saint 76er Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 He knew exactly what sort of response he'd get, which is why he posted it in the first place. Is'nt that the definition of a troll Steve, and how do you feel about such posts on here?

I'm guessing because he knew you'd bite and use all three of your daily posts on replying.........
Window Cleaner Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 I'm guessing because he knew you'd bite and use all three of your daily posts on replying......... MLG reduced to "guest" status, hadn't noticed that. Business must be slow in the pedantry sector just now.
The Cat Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 Mane will definitely be going to Old Trafford in January. On the 23rd, when we play Man Utd away.
sadoldgit Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 Apparently according to the Mirror Chelsea want him as well as United.
steveo Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 Alps could have meant he is off to the African Nations cup........along with Big Vic. Thats a month without the 2 of them.
Snopper Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 He isnt going anywhere in Jan! Can we have that in writing please?
ErwinK1961 Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 I wonder what odd's you could have got on Alps rearing his head once our unbeaten run had come to an end?
suewhistle Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 Is'nt that the definition of a troll Steve, and how do you feel about such posts on here? Interesting question... I haven't been on here too much lately, but I got the impression that alpine hadn't either. Before I checked on here today I had a bet with myself, and won. ;-)
Window Cleaner Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 Alps could have meant he is off to the African Nations cup........along with Big Vic. Thats a month without the 2 of them. Is there an ACoN this year ? Not as far as I know anyway. 2017 should be the next one.
hutch Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 We should lose more often. I miss Alpine's posts.
suewhistle Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 Erwin, written without seeing your post!
once_bitterne Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 I'm actually intrigued as to alpine_saint's rational for posting this thread. Not only because its extremely vague as to what exactly he is saying, but also what kind of response did he expect he'd get and why? I would imagine the rational was that, without the pace and inventiveness of Mane, we look a side who has great difficulty creating opportunities and scoring goals and that Mane is a player who could well be attracting interest from Man U in the January window.
Whitey Grandad Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 Is there an ACoN this year ? Not as far as I know anyway. 2017 should be the next one. Rwanda next year, 16th January to 7th February plus warm-up. Why they can't hold it every 4 years I shall never know. http://www.cafonline.com/en-us/competitions/chan2016/home https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_African_Nations_Championship
marc_saint Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 Stupid post. We don't sell players in January!
rallyboy Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 Indeed, had he not come on and changed the game against Stoke we could well have lost it.
Window Cleaner Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 Rwanda next year, 16th January to 7th February plus warm-up. Why they can't hold it every 4 years I shall never know. http://www.cafonline.com/en-us/competitions/chan2016/home https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_African_Nations_Championship Doesn't sound at all right, they had one last year, 2017 should be the next one in err Gabon, this must be some other tournament because they are in WC qualifiers just now. NB The Rwanda tourny is just for African based players, sort of consolation competiton I suppose.

Window Cleaner Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_African_Nations_Championship_qualification Player eligibility[edit] As required by the regulations, teams must be exclusively composed of national team players playing in their country's own domestic league.[2] As I said, a minor tournament for teams comprised of only national championship based players. The next ACoN is in Gabon in 2017

The next ACoN is in Gabon in 2017 That makes more sense. All I know is that it's every two years.

The next ACoN is in Gabon in 2017 Didn't have a chance to (or be arsed to) read the small print, seeing as neither Senegal or Kenya qualified Strange riles though, as didn't Sadio and Vic play in the qualifiers? Also back to the OP .... WTF is Alps going on about?
Window Cleaner Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 That makes more sense. All I know is that it's every two years. Indeed, they also have a strange pattern of qualification rounds where AfCoN qualifiers and WC qualfiers alternate on occasions. Sadio went to thje AfCoN last winter and won't be going in January 2016.

Saint Charlie Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 Can we have that in writing please? If you send me a SASE then sure.
Horley CTFC Saint Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 In fairness its more likely to be February
Window Cleaner Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 In fairness its more likely to be February Who knows really, if there's any real likelyhood of him being sold he'll probably be useless to us from the moment he starts believing in it all. Like Victor last August IIRC.
dronskisaint Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 Alpines SAD is kicking in then? The 365 day a year season...Suicidal Alpine Depressive?
mulletsaint Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 We should lose more often. I miss Alpine's posts. Sadomasochist.
Saint86 Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 Would be utterly daft if the club sold him in January. Just can't see it happening. If that was what alpine was on about Um, for £50m.... be mad not to sell!
ally_uk Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 I would take £50 million, get in Dennis Praet, Hakim ZIyech and youri tielemans and Sinkgraven booom!
Dalek2003 Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 If we have reached 40 points we can relax.
Whitey Grandad Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 If we have reached 40 points we can relax. What do you mean, 'we'?
The9 Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 Well the popular press and no doubt skysports seem to be trying to presuade everyone that it's a likely possibility. I expect Alps has been reading the football gossip columns, same as everyone else. The difference is in how you interpret the contents. Bunch of stuff on Sky about "should Vardy join a top 4 club" which is the exact same load of guff. By January people will probably have forgotten he even scored in 10 straight.
CB Fry Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 Alpine didn't start this thread, I imagine his son has been on his account again. One single line post and no replies? Nah.
scotty Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 I'm actually intrigued as to alpine_saint's rational for posting this thread. Not only because its extremely vague as to what exactly he is saying, but also what kind of response did he expect he'd get and why? Rationale. Not rational. I've always wanted to correct MLG.
