£3m would be a great deal. He gave those Spurs defenders a torrid time on Sunday.
No he didn't, what on earth did you watch?

Don't know what he watched but he's LEARNT sarcasm! Whoosh
Oh. I feel silly now....
Actually, I suspect that he didn't. At all. He might claim it, as part of a blatant backing down from an undefendable opinion, but I firmly doubt he was on a wind up.

In that case, I am speechless and my apologies. Very embarrassing for him if that's the case.
Haha. Yep - I was totally serious fella. Gayle was world class!!
Last year, after losing the first 3 league matches, there was a lot of discontent on the forums. The club said wait until the window has closed before you judge the transfers, I did that and I was pleasantly surprised with how it turned out. I'll be thinking the same way this year too. If you want a list of what each signing brings to the table, it'll be a waste of time. What I can say is I think Ollie has brought in some potential and some filler. I'm not disappointed with any player and I won't judge them until they've had a chance on the pitch.
Oh dear, that really is the most deluded thing I've ever read on this board! Bridcutt and Kuszczak would make our team ahead of Dikgacoi and Speroni. Upson is level with Gabbidon and Delaney. That's it.
I can understand your optimism. You bought shite last season but somehow your old manager was able to do some alchemy with them that was just enough to withstand Olly's attempt to screw it all up. Problem is that you still have Olly at the helm and that spells relegation certainties.
Yeah. Ollie really screwed it up last year.

Fact is that the fee is undisclosed, so people - including you - make up what they want to hear. We've confirmed that he was our record signing, which was around £2.75 million previously, so it'll be equal or more than that figure. Anything else is a guess.

What I actually want to hear is that your owners have got plans approved to redevelop that dump of a ground that's a disgrace to football.
Please I'm full of anticipation as to how you're going to compare Giggs and Phillips
Yeah. Ollie really screwed it up last year.
Apologies - I forgot you only started getting interested and actually going to games when you got to the play-off final. Really don't know what I was thinking discussing historical issues with a Palace fan. I am really very sorry to have caused any confusion or upset for you.
Yeah. Ollie really screwed it up last year.
I've been going since 2002 and a season ticket holder since 2003. Try again. I accept your apology though.
Sure you have. Keep up the good work newby
