I haven't insulted you yet have I?

[Reece]

Hilarious.

[carheex]

If anyone genuinely thinks that Rafa has been deliberating getting poor results due to some ulterior motive, then they clearly have no idea of the character of the man. I just can't believe anyone would seriously suggest this.

No one can actually be serious about this "nuclear" bollocks can they??

[carheex]

Hilarious.

Eh?

[Reece]

Eh?

I was asking you to cut out the insults to other posters, I never suggested you had insulted me.

Oh, sorry sir. Tears can damage the circuitry on a keyboard so be a good chap and pass on my apologies to the poor little thing would you? Lovely.

It's complete and utter nonsense. The most insanely sensationalistic suggestion i've ever heard, and something the gutter press wouldnt even try to imply.

Carheex - And you sir, have been upgraded by me from a minor irritant to an annoying boneheaded mule; But I'll TRY and be civil shall I? Unlike some on here. Look, when I spoke of our aura, class, history at Liverpool etc. I DIDN'T mean in respect of us getting 4th place - I meant in respect of us attracting buyers in future - i.e. if we have all that compared to the likes of City and Chelsea and THAT is what buyers normally go for then why shouldn't we emphasise our advantages from that over theirs in their stadiums, income etc?

I wasn't talking about the race for 4th re 'permanent class' that you spoke about - I was talking of it in terms of attracting us investment - Also re our players playing deliberately badly etc - IF it's happening and no-one can be sure it is or isn't given how bad we are at the present- I think I've made quite clear elsewhere in this thread that I think it stems from Rafa' NOT any of the players. As to ''he also thinks that the best way to attract top players for Torres to play alongside, is by luring them from overseas with promises of 50% tax, europa league football and mid-table battles with birmingham and everton!'' about my posts? Total crap - I KNOW that we need CL football to attract high-calibre players and in turn rebuild our squad to the levels that produced the type of displays we saw last season - However I also know that both Chelsea AND City, currently the two richest clubs in the world were left to fall to rack and ruin and Absolute disaster financially (in Chelsea's case, they went damn near bankrupt) BEFORE being bought out by billionaires in the football equivalent of being lottery winners;

What I meant about us taking 5 steps back to make 1 Leap forwards was that - Things may have to get MUCH worse to force out the twin horrors and then? When we're an absolute bargain for some billionaire to buy as Chelsea once were for example? Then we'll be bought out by someone who wants to invest a lot in us. That is what I was suggesting, not mid-table battles for evermore. I meant something totally different to what you thought and not for the first time, you totally lost the meaning of what I was saying amidst a blizzard of childish insults. Still, you live and learn - READ what I put next time before flaming me for it please - it will save a lot of trouble................................

It is actually suggestions like this that hurt our reputation as being such great fans.
