    You are either Hemsy's long lost twin brother or you have a brain equally as addled by playing far too much FIFA 18.

    You don't wait until you are on the roundabout to indicate right when wanting to take the 3rd exit. You indicate right on approach as well.

    Some do, sure.

    But I know from personal experience(I've actually asked them while socialising with numerous players who have played in the second tier of English football - some that were widely regarded as bang average, others were decent) that they would not even consider signing for us unless they were paid well above what they were worth as we're not considered "big enough"(two actually turned a transfer to us down to sign for bigger clubs on less money)...

    We only 'massively over achieved' if you have the mindset of someone with no ambition. If we're in a position where we can challenge for the premiership then lets go for it! But no we decided mediocrity was OK because we were favourites for the drop six months earlier.

    Well I think I do, compared to my initial outrage. I suppose that it becomes easier the more you see Theresa May compromising to avoid the worst effects of it. I don't think it will look much different to being 'in' by the time we've done, except that our level of influence will be lesser. But hey - you've got me at it again! :)

    It's nothing to do with what number exit you're taking. It's all about where on the roundabout you're going. Going left, indicate left. Straight on don't. Right is right. If the 5th exit is straight on you don't signal till you're ready for exiting. If the second exit is right you do.



    No such thing as a fast lane

    They'd choose a 'bigger' club if there was more chance they'd get promoted. For example no sane player would go to Sunderland over Brentford. Club size is of irrelavance in the present day.

    Tell them, not me. I have my own business to run. I'm sure they would be happy for you to tell them where they're going wrong.

    Well I think your advice is contradictory , if not wrong.

    You say if you're going left then indicate left. Straight on don't indicate - you have an argument with Andymac about that. He thinks you should indicate left for your turn.

    I don't like your 5th exit strategy. if it's a multi exit roundabout then you should indicate right till it's time for your turn, then you should indicate leftjust before that's where you're going.

    Sorry I meant if you are taking the first exit signal left.

    First exit signal left
    Going right signal right.
    All others no signal.
    Signal left as you approach your exit.

    If the 5th exit isn't right you don't signal right.

    Just my opinion like but they first and foremost investors investing in our club. Some may Say you have to speculate to accumulate. Hypothetically these multi billionaires pumped sat 25 million into our club on players and wages and if IF it actually paid off and we were promoted to the greed league and we pocketed £80/100 million? How would you then feel to learn that these investors then decided it’s paid off and take back the initial £25 million investment plus another £10/15 as their profit on their investment....would you be perfectly happy with this or would it suddenly become the CLUBS money and they have no right?

    They can spend but don’t date reap the rewards at our expense?


    I’m pretty sure people would be up in arms but as I said at the beginning that’s my opinion

    And yet Red Rain described the development of those facilities as a "vanity project" last week...

    Yes, I do. Why, you in the mood for an argument?

    Not particularly. I don't understand how it was a vanity project when the facilities developed have likely as not paid for themselves by now not only with the 5k plus attendances numerous times in that end plus, as a minimum Stones and Bree who came to the Academy and were sold for a lot of money Without said "vanity project" those facilities would not have existed, certainly not in a good enough state to be a Cat 2 Academy, and maybe those two might never have come to us.

    Perhaps it was just all built by the wrong people. Bring back the Spion Kop and waterlogged Co-op ground.
