Hardly a rant but anyway.
The use of exception that proves the rule is in exactly the right context. Look it up.
The use of the we was incorrect but the argument stands. The club isn't ours. FACT.
If you re read what I said I said Mike and Decka are the only people who know what transfers are happening i.e. who is coming and going thus automatically including myself in the "not a clue" bracket so I'm not sure what your argument is.
Did you have a counter argument to any of the points I made at all?
i think you countered all of your arguments pretty well already, didn't think i could add anything more to the knots you tied yourself in :35:
btw - i think you should look up "the exception that proves the rule" mate, before you tell others to. it's just embarrassing when people misuse idioms then try and spout off about it.

I also notice you forgot about the recouping of his outlay through AC etc so I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on that as well.

I'll phrase it another way to give the option of simple answers:
Do you think we're a selling club?
Do you think our transfers are sanctioned on the basis of value at both the point of purchase and sell on?
Is the club owned by the fans?
Do you believe anybody other than DL/MA has the inside track on our transfer dealings?

It will be interesting to see how you feel at 11pm on Friday as well.
come on geordie. don't go changing it, you told me to look something up when you yourself didn't have a clue how to use it correctly.
since you're in a mood for simple things, i'll simplify it for you. which of these 3 exceptions prove a rule?
"parking is prohibited on sundays"
OR
"i love cheese, except brie."
OR
"we have a poor track record in transfer windows, except when we signed cisse"
NOTE: only one exception proves a rule (and handily comes from wiki, before panda starts up)

At the end of the day, the holy trinity of Mike, Del and Pards know what they are doing, They got us to 5th last season you know.

I GR used the phrase "The exception that proves the rule" in an incorrect manner.
Will you answer my questions?
why would i answer your questions? i was just here to point out the flaws in your post and found it funny you told me to look something up when you had no clue yourself.
but feel free to trawl through any number of threads (some from over a year ago) and you'll find answers to them

christ on a bike,..are you like this in real life mate??
**makes note never to pop into the Forth for a pint*
it's fair enough that you don't like having it pointed out when you tie yourself in knots. i don't understand why you told me to go look something up though. it smacks of you thinking you know more than you actually do. did you not get my point there? see the theme? emptiest drums and all that.
you'd think you'd be happier about this all though, i always thought they said it was bliss.

So other than the exception to the rule thing we're in agreement on my points. Excellent, glad we cleared that up.

I actually would love to be proved wrong.
Van persie is a luxury buy for a club with 700mil debts that are going up by the week.
We wont be aiming for the top 4 because we arent ready yet. To play champions league football requires a massive squad of very good players and we just arent good enough for it yet.
We have a wage cap that i agree with, long gone are the players that just signed because they were on a better contract than they could get anywhere else. The players that are here actually want to play for the club!
It has been a long time since we have been able to say that.
If you want to go back to the freddy sheperd ways of spending more than you can possibly earn back then thats your opinion, and you are completely entitled to it. My opinion is that it would be better to wait until we are financially secure and have the future of the club taken care of
