Quote Staffs FC="Staffs FC"Ah - the old claim someone wrote something when they in fact wrote something else. Gotcha.
I said it was 'slightly' tongue in cheek which implied that it mainly wasn't. Let's say 85% it wasn't / 15% it was to use two random percentages that come to mind.'"
Either it was tongue in cheek or it wasn't. You either have this 'feeling' or you do not. Backtracking on your backtracking will only make you dizzy.
Quote Staffs FCIf you can quantify whatever it is you're arguing about good/poor signings then go ahead. I'll stick with what I said and you arguing with me like a dog with a bone isn't going to change it. '"

Quote Staffs FCAs for Goldie it was always even more satisfying to see his outspoken critics having to begrudgingly give him a morsel of credit when it really hurt - glad I was able to squeeze a bit more out here.'"

If there are no more forward signings, I can't see us improving on this year's return. I hope I'm wrong. I do think it would be nice to be heading into a season confident that the signings we've made will improve us, rather than thinking that it 'could go either way', though.
