I find it puerile and a little bit unnecessary.  Leave them to themselves, they're probably reloading the gun and lifting their foot ready for the next shot as I type this.

His digs at Blues are a bit unnecessary, childish but amusing at the same time. I can only presume he must get some personal abuse off them.

I'm finding it harder and harder to care one way or another about the peripheral stuff.

Me too Ads. There is so much more to concern ourselves with. Also Xia is athe chairman of a football club. I get that comes with a requirement to be responsible and classy but this kind of stuff is so very trivial. Outside of this stuff he's been very classy, respectful and ultimately delivered on supporting his manager in trying to get us promoted.

Dreadful to me and a certain age group for sure. But not to the youth who it's aimed at lets be honest

It's like moaning about the kits and sponsors logos when you've no intention of buying one anyway as you're over 30 and realise they'll look silly anyway

If it engages the young blood it's all good by me.

Oh come on. Its an obvious lameish joke from our social media folks. Its still a step up from Captain Jack signing in a bathtub.

That tweet is fucking embarrasing, I'd be pissing myself laughing if there chairman did it. As I said in the Terry thread, this signing is purely an ego massage for the chairman, ridiculous.

The signing has pros and cons, but the only thing that's ridiculous is the suggestion it's just about massaging his ego.

Excellent tweet, engagement of the fan base and amusing. I am a grouchy old fecker but it made me smile, blimey it's just a bit of fun. As long as we don't have a team band and a fanfare when we score I'm happy.

Let's be brutally honest.

His ego needs no massaging  and is as big as the whale in Moby Dick, and as big as Dirk Dickler's dick in Boogie Nights.

All the clubs are doing a social media video "reveals" of new signings. Ours is by far the funniest.
