I'm not sure if he's on a wind up or lost the plotYou are not the poster I think you used to be
Of course you did. I believe you.

Sarcastic? Moi? Mais non monsieur.Sarcasm Jim? Not as we know it.
Amended for accuracy.gonna get worse now with all the wannabe tolmies nobjockeys running for his throne
The doom and gloom is off the scale. Maybe they are all depressed cuz school has started?
either that or they need the old city back to be depressed about. Some never really got over the takeover nor the success. Club can’t stop winning so getting upset with tue transfers is the next go to issue.
Yeah, if any of them turn out like Phillips, we’ll be on for another treble.It's only words.
And words all I have to take your heart away....
After the Phillips fiasco (another great word), I think it's best we all keep our feet on the floor until we see how it pans out with our 5th /6th choice newcomers.
Fingers crossed they'll be good enough.

This is one of the reasons I moved to USA. On the west coast at least the vast majority encourage and laud success and try to pick you up in the event of failure.I genuinely cannot believe in this day and age, there are people who are so bitter and patronising, they feel the need to drag down others.
Trudging is a great word. I have found the transfer forum very repetitive with a lot of annoying “look at me” wankers trying to fill the @tolmie's hairdoo void.
This is what happened when he left:

Far better than the twisted and bitter UK approach of keying the nice car and stamping into The dirt anyone who is having a hard time.
Americans are cheesy no doubt, but far more supportive. They also share their success stories. In the UK if you are onto a good thing the very idea of sharing it is anathema but in the US you tell as many people as possible how to achieve the same success. Only thing I really miss apart from family back home is the ability to go to the games.
I think that's DisasterThe lad from Rennes?
Its not all nice. There's a lot of greed there and the system enforces the division between rich and poorThis is one of the reasons I moved to USA. On the west coast at least the vast majority encourage and laud success and try to pick you up in the event of failure.

Have we signed the Italian lad called CamaraderieI think that's Disaster
That's true in most countries, but you're right, its exaggerated here.Its not all nice. There's a lot of greed there and the system enforces the division between rich and poor
Tbf they’d have had KDB replaced for JWP a year or so ago so that latest post is positively sane…Jesus fella; I always had you down as one of the more rational/less irrational (you choose) posters on here. But seriously? Disarray? The only team in the PL with maximum points after 3 games, and another European trophy to fit into the trophy cabinet. If that's your idea of disarray, I don't know what you made of the 1990s!
I feel like it's more of a middle class vs working class thing rather than a British vs American thing. Working classes definitely love to slag off anyone who's outwardly trying to better themselves and succeeding. Like Jim Royle. Usually a sign of their own insecurity. I've definitely heard black American comedians talk about this in particular.That's true in most countries, but you're right, its exaggerated here.
Septics also like to brag about their success more, but the whole society is geared towards 'make the best of it yourself'.
We also wanted maguire, sanchez, van persie etc etc etc. its just not how we workWe wanted Bellingham. We wanted Rice. They both went elsewhere.
We didn't have a plan C after that. We've been in disarray since KDB got hurt, neither Nunes nor Paqueta are 'elite' players imo.
Either Maddison or Ward-Prowse would have been a better signing than Nunes or Paqueta.
All about opinions of course, but I think we missed the bus midfield-wise this window.
